HUBERT HERRING. lon* the executive director of the committee on cultural relations with Latin America, which promote* a summer seminar in Mexico, will return this month to Indianapolis to attend the world pffafrs Institute of the Indiana Council of International Relations. To that alert group of our society, always Interested In promotion of cultural projects, this news is of vital importance. Dr. Herring is returning to visit a group of persons with a friendly feeling toward him because they share with him an interest in the progress of relationships with Mexico. Dr. Frank 8. C. Wicks, Mrs. Demarehus Brown and Mrs. Ovid Butler Jameson and others dined and chatted with him when ne made appearances here in 1932 and 1933. Last year several of his fnenda here received Christmas greetings from Tasco, where the committee on cultural relations with Latin America has its headquarters. The greeting was in the form of a booklet, containing a colorful atory and drawings of life in Taaco. Botnar Cramer and Miss Anna Hasse.man were visitors in Mexico last summer, and Mr. and Mrs George Ball, who come to Indianapolis frequently from their home in Mun-

were uwugnum lounsis mere last winter. When Dr. Herring talks at a mass meeting on Nov. 9 at the Second Presbyterian church, he will discuss "The Monroe Doctrine and the New j Pan-Americanism " The summer seminar in Mexico, . vhlch has been conducted for eight . reasons, is an educational venture in the field of International rela- [ ttons. Part of the sessions are held : at Guemavaca. once the home of Maximilian and Carlotta, whose lives have been described so colorfully by Mrs. Bertlta Leonarz Harding in "Phantom Crown.” Guemavaca vividly is depicted by Mrs | Dwight Morrow, wife of former Ambassador Morrow, in her book, “The Painted Pig.” The Morrows st ill have their summer home at Guernavaca. Field Trips Aid Study The seminar was established at theuime when Mr. Morrow was en-j deavoring to create friendlier Mexi- j can and American relationships. At ita sessions studies of archaeology,' economic problems, literature, arts and crafts, international relations and history are combined with field trips to points of historic and cul- j . tura! interest. When Dr. Herring was here in 1932, he talked before a group of men from foreign departments of business organizations and of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as many personally interested in Latin American relationships. On his second visit he addressed members of the Caroline Scott Harrison and Cornelia Cole Fairbanks chapters Daughter* of the American Revolution, and students at Butler university and Indiana Central college. Describe* Mexico Dr. Herring's friends here enjoy talks with him. in which he vividly describes Mexico with its Spanish and Indian cultures. Dr. Herring saya: “Mexico is being discovered. Its bewildering variety, its exquisite and haunting beauty and the bold vigor of ita social revolution attract an increasing number of visitors.” He with the other members of his committee. believes that United States national life will be enriched lmv*eaqjirably through a generous and Gained interchange between the ericas.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem. BY' W. E. M’KEXNEY Secretary American Bridge League JUST what would you do, if you picked up Souths’ hand? Six "quickies” as the teacher counts them. This hand was dealt in the recent Pennsylvania state tournament. You can not open with a two-bid, because your opening two-bid would have to be diamonds. A two-bid says you have game in your own hand and, of course, you have not. You have four or five losing tricks. For those who play the strong no trump, their rules say you can not open with one no trump, because a no trump bid must not be made with a weak doubleton. You are afraid to bid one diamond, because your partner might pass, and even if he does keep the bidding open, you are going to have a hard time convincing him in later rounds of the bidding that your hand contains six primary tricks. I think a hand of this type Is so rare that you have to break some bidding rule, and the best one to break is the no trump rule.

At least, this tells yo.ur partner that' you do have a big hand and then, on the next round of bidding, if you put in a force, he will realize that it was an exceptionally strong no trump. In other words, I think you have to take the gamble that your opponents will not be able to run a long club suit. It isn't much df a gamble even if you are vulnerable, because your contract would be for only one odd. a a m THE bidding as given handles the situation very well, I think. Over the two-club bid, you make the three-diamond force and then, over North's three no trump, you make the slam try by bidding four no trump. North makes a nice response, showing that all his strength is in clubs, but that is all the information South needs. a a u IN the play of the hand, the player who is careless enough to try for the club suit to break, of course, will lose his contract. You must make the safety play in the hand. After winning the first spade trick with the king, allow your opponents to win the first club trick and then you are assured of five club tricks, three diamonds, two hearts and two spades. When you are in a small slam contract, forget about the extra trick; always play the hand safe to make your contract first. (Copyright. 1034. NEA Service. Ine.l

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN If you are baffled by the behavior of one of your children, write to Jane Jordan for help! Whatever your problems. take advantage of the services this column offers today! Dear Jane Jordan—Regardless of what some readers say against you, I still say you are broadminded and know your psychology. Here is my only problem; My little girl, 9 years old, in the fourth

grade at school, is healthy and has an active mind when it comes to play or . wise-cracking, but school is hard for her. When the teacher assigns her a lesson, she is dreaming and hears nary a word. History and geography are her hardest lessons. She gets A in English. She

grasps arithmetic quickly when I explain the method to her. The only thing she is good at is gymnastics. -She loves to climb and twist her body in every shape, and hang by the feet, head down. Even though her body is as flexible as a rag doll’s she seems clumsy in her movements, or rather she does everything in a dream, therefore stumbling and falling over objects and people. She is net shy, yet not bold. I have trouble in keeping the other children, who get excellent grades, from calling her a dummy. Even the father scolds her in their presence, which is not right, and he agrees it is wrong. I never scold her, but try to point out how much harder it is to be lazy than to study. I could figure out my other children and handle them but this one has me puzzled. I am sure you can help me. L. K. Answer—l should like to know about the other children with whom this little girl must compete. From her behavior I assume that there are older brothers or sisters who constantly outshine her and threaten her sense of superiority. Because she despairs of equalling their grades, she sets up a pseudogoal of superiority which she tries to attain by being an acrobat and a clown. These devices serve to attract attention to a child who feels that she is unable to impress her family in any other way. Possibly she is trying to outdo an older brother by hanging head down from a limb. Scolding, or an other form of discouragement is distinctly out of order. She must find something useful at which she can succeed, preferably in some field where her brothers and sisters offer no competition. Her limber body suggests dancing, which is not to be despised as a profession. If not dancing, physical culture. If we had access to her dream life, it would be instructive. If she dreams of things possible to attain, she could be helped to turn her dreams into action. If her fantasies have no reference to fact, she must be encouraged to regard the world as it is. But always encouraged! Any activity which ties her to the objective world is to be welcomed. Without making a point of it, you can put things to do in her way, things to make with her hands, and books which her interest in English requires. My own children have found Hillyer's History of the World and History of Geography more interesting than their routine lessons. She should be made to feel that she has a valuable place in the family, with some definite task which is peculiarly her own, such as the care of a pet or responsibility for her own room. Scolding only tears down her ego which is obliged to resort to dreams for conquest, emerging only for frantic little stabs at the spotlight through ludicrous behavior. To emphasize her points of unfavorable difference from the other children is to make her feel like an alien in her own home when all she wants is “to belong." Dear Jane Jordan—Last Sunday night I had a date. Before the fellow came my mother got mad at me. When I asked her to come in and meet him she said no. He said. "Is that your mother?" and I didn’t know what to do. We went to the show and he never has asked me for a date since. I think he was hurt the way my mother acted, but I can not help it. How can I get him to come back? How can you tell if a fellow cares for you? What makes a fellow like you some time and the next he doesn’t? H. E. M. Answer—As a rule a mothers objection is a fillip to the boy’s interest. I should hesitate to blame her for his behavior, although she acted in a childish manner in allowing a private dispute to interfere with surface courtesy. You can't go after him. All you can do is to make yourself as charming as possible to all your friends. If a boy seeks your company frequently and is unfailingly courteous, it’s a sign he likes you. For vagaries I can not account. Venetian chapter. International Travel-Study Club, Inc., will hold a card jjarty at 8 tomorrow night at the home of Mrs. H. E. Bo linger, 5021 West Thirteenth street.

Modernization Program Rekindles Interest of Men, Women in Homes City Property Owners Watch Transformation of Shack on Federal Building Lawn Into Inviting, Livable Place. BY HELEN LINDSAY WHILE enthusiasm over modernization and repairing of homes is encouraged all over the country by President Roosevelt's housing improvement program, hundreds of Indianapolis home-owners are taking inventory of their own property, with an eye to following the trend for 'renovations and rebuilding. Interest in thfe exhibition house on the Federal building lawn is having much to do with the enthusiasm. Women are watching the transformation of the tumble-down shack into a liveable, comfortable home with appreciation of the beauty that will be created. Men are interested because they realize that it is good business to improve the property they own. Many suggestions have been made by building industries, which are of interest alike to groups characterized by President Roosevelt as “those who live in houses, those who repair and construct houses, and those who invest in houses.” Women who have long admitted a pleasure in making over clothing will find the same joy in making over homes. They will look with speculative eyes at attic rooms, visualizing them as additional living space.

Awkward Jogs in wans, or otherwise useless space under eaves may be utilized by building in book shelves. One-inch pine boards, ten inches wide, will make the sides and shelves. These may be graduated upward from tw r elve to nine inches apart. The inside of the shelves may be painted a bright color to contrast with the outside. Suggestions in Painting Experts advise against an attempt to apply whitewash to painted walls, as whitewash does not adhere well to oil-painted surfaces. A poor job will result, also, they say, if the paint brush is used for varnishing regardless of how thoroughly it is j cleaned. A varnish brush, however j may be used later for painting. Artists now paint pictures on all sorts of unusual materials, and a suggestion may be taken from them for interesting decorative effects for walls. Wall decorations may be done on frosted glass, cellophane and even rubber. Some decorative effects are obtained by leaving part of the background exposed. Colors are interesting this season. Wainscot color, which is mulberry and was a popular hue for walls in colonial times, is ideal for the restoration of old time homes, says Marion Nicholl Rawson in her new book. “Sing, Old House.” Other-col-ors which she suggests are olive green, a light blue, known as early Virginia blue, cedar, lead color or gray, and a marble effect. One of the most Important facts to remember in this work of redecoration is the filling of cracks and nail holes in w r ood with putty. The putty may be colored with a little oil color for a painted finish, and with sta#.n for a staining job. When it is dry. it should be sandpapered till smooth. Varied Wall Treatment One of the most unusual things that is being done with the redecoration of rooms is a varied treatment of the walls of a room. Yet this was a practice even in colonial times, for the hearth end of an interior frequently was panelled in mellow brown or pine, left natural, or painted dull red to suggest mahogany, while the other walls were plaster, painted white, buff or light blue. Recently decorators in the east have been creating gracious, pleasing effects by variations in wall treatment. A bedroom, for example has three walls in spring green, and the fourth, a background for the dressing table, in yellowish green or chartreuse. The decorator's idea was to emphasize the dressing table, just as the fireplace was emphasized in earlier days. Often th s difference in color of the walls is to suggest the effect which sunlight might produce in certain parts of the room. The side which would be darkest in the daytime is made to appear just as well lighted as the rest of the room in this way. f Varying the hue of the fireplace wall is especially desirable when the fireplace opening is small, or the mantel not highly decorative In itself. Whether panelled or plain, it

A SAFER WAY % to relieve constipation J 1 m in any child... !Jjya| This simple experiment has often meant a changed child, mothers, A test that is easily made, and - fm should be made, when children are 1| I occasionally upset or constipated .

Doctors urge a liquid laxative for children. The child who has been convalescing in a hospital, will usually come out with bowels working like a well-regulated watch. Hospitals give children a liquid laxative of suitable ingredients. suitable strength, ana in suitable amount. Children should never be given the strong cathartics that are meant for adult use. So, avoid all use of mineral drugs, whether they are salts, pills, tablets, or "candy” form. Even once a month is too often to give any child a cathartic containing powerful drugs. Th Proper Treatment Give that sluggish child a liquid laxative containing senna (a natural laxative). California Syrup of Figs has the right amount for children’s use. and this rich, fruity syrup does not upset them. Just give any headachy, bilious child a little of this gentle laxative when constipated, and a little less if dose is repeated until bowels seem to be moving regularly and thoroughly without need of help. When vou change to California Syrup of Figs instead of harsh medicines, you’ll risk no more violence to your child’s appetite.

often is painted a soft white, while the three walls are coated with clear yellow, chocolate brown, light blue or light green.

Furniture Emphasized If a room is without a fireplace, one end may be made a setting for a special piece of furniture. su£h as a large sofa. Sometimes a wall with double windows and draperies may be featured by painting It a shade darker. These variations from the usual style of room painting often are not noticeable at. first glance, but enhance the decorative effect of a room. This method of varying wall colorings is effective in rooms having shallow 7 recesses or alcoves. The alcoves often are made while reconditioning an old house. Upstairs rooms with walls that are broken by slanting: roofs or dormer windows often lose an ungainly air when camouflaged by varying the color of the walls. The sides of the dormer window space for example, may be painted a slightly darker shade. When furnished with a desk and books, or a bed, this part becomes not a handicap, but a unified and charming addition to the decorative scheme.

digestion, and general physical condition. You’ll have a safer, more satisfactory result, too. So, get a bottle of California Syrup of Figs from your druggist, and start tonight, if your child is constipated, giving a good, cleansing dose. Repeat as necessary, giving a little less each time. That's the secret of this treatment gradually reduced dosage. Here is a simple way of finding out if anv youngster with irregular or insufficient bowel movements is in need of relief, or getting the wrong treatment: THE “LIQUID TEST” This is the way to relieve occasional sluggishness, or constipation in a child of any age: First: select a liauid laxative of the proper strength for children. Second: give the dose suited to the chilas age, and condition. Third: reduce the dose, if repeated, until the bowels are moving without any help at all. An ideal laxative for this purpose is California Syrup of Figs which every' druggist keeps in stock. Be certain that it is the genuine product, with "California’ blown in the bottle.
