Blind Aid Unit Works at Library Junior League’s Braille Sendee Carried on in State Building. BY BEATRICE BURGAN limfi Woman'* Pat* Editor FOR the first time since member: of the Junior League c* Indianapolis organized a department of Braille transcription, they have a permanent room for the work. When the new state library building was opened last fall, Louis Bailey. Lbrarian. offered the League
a room for the work, and on Monday and Thursday mornings of each week the committee members meet in the room under the direction of Mrs. Addison Parry, Braille chairman. For years the League has donated its Braille transcriptions of books to the state
Miss Burgan
library, which has circulated them among various blind in Indiana and even to other states. League members, after passing the Red Cross Braille examinations, have met at members’ homes to transcribe books for the library. Mrs. Clarence Alig. Mrs. John Darlington, Mrs. William C. Griffith and Mrs. William B. Burford Jr., have enrolled in this branch of the League's philanthropic work for several seasons and own their own Braille machines. Eight other machines are owned by the League. Three books already have been added to the library’s shelves this season by the League, including “Sarah Thornton,” a novel by Margaret Weymouth Jackson, whose mother is blind. “Swiss Family Manhattan,” by Christopher Morley and “Flush,” by Virginia Woolf, soon will be completed.
Better Care Bears Fruit Mrs. Parry explained that the number of blind rapidly is decreasing. attributable probably to the better care of infants’ eyes at birth. Because Braille is taught in schools for the blind more books of interest to youthful readers are in demand. At present in the Braille room members are transcribing “The Secret Garden.” “Uther and Igraine.” “The Golden Skull Murder” and “Miss Minerva and William Green Hill.” Because Braille reading at its best is a slow, tedious task, fast reading books are most popular. When members first enroll in the class, Mrs. Sinclair follows up their ten lessons with the assignment of a 50-page short story; its transcription is sent for approval to the Red Cross headquarters in Washington, which awards a certificate for proficiency. The Red Cross also provides paper for the transcription and binds the pages into book form. After Orville Pettijohn, who is blind, proofreads the League's work, Mrs Warrack Wallace, makes any corrections necessary, and Mrs. George T. Parry shellacs the pages before they are sent to Washington for binding. Workers Listed “Members average from three to eight pages an hour, depending on their experience,” Mrs. Parry explained. “One page of a printed book requires two pages of Braille.” The League's Braille room is located between two stack rooms at the library, has windows on two sides of the room and is furnished with several tables for the Braille machines, resembling portable typewriters. The room is open every day so the members with spare time ■may stop to transcribe at any time. Among the members who work on the Braille committee are Mesdames Edward Bennett, Hugh Carpenter, Paul Fisher, Laurens Henderson. William Jungclaus, Cortland Van Camp Martindale. Elijah B. Martindale. Perry Meek. lies Ogle, Clyde Wands. Kirby Whyte, Miss Anne Torian and Miss Ruth Sheerin. Several members of the board work frequently with the class, including Miss Sally Reahard. Mrs. Arthur C. Shea, and Miss Eunice Dissette.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN
Tell your troubles to Jane Jordan and* let her help you see what to do! Explain your case in a letter today. Dear Jane Jordan —Can a man really love a woman and have no desire to be near her? My husband and I have been parted for almost a year, and I have only seen him
three times during that time, although he lives only a distance of 20 miles away. His brother has a car and I am almost positive he could get it at least once a week and come tef see his baby and me. He is unable to get work, so we each had to go to our separate homes, because it was too ex-
m
Jane Jordan
pensive for either family to keep both of us. He wrote and said it would be the happiest day in his life when he knew he could have the baby and me always with him. He also said he was doing everything in his power-to get work. He writes twice a week, but I never see him. He doesn’t support the baby. I sit home every night and take care of his child, but he doesn’t appreciate the fact. E. Z. Answer—Your husband has lost courage. When a man is deprived of his job and his place as head of a household, his defeat often affects his virility. For the mo-

ment he probably feels completely impotent. My guess is that your husband is not a particularly aggressive type and therefore not a good fighter. Your best bet would be to convince him that you have not lost faith in him in spite of his financial misfortune. Your confidence might prove a greater incentive than criticism to the extra effort that it will take to lift him out of the listless run into which he has fallen. The two of you ought to be to-** gether. It is too easy for a married couple to grow away from each other when they do not face adversity together. In a way each of you has regressed to the attitude of the child who enjoys the protection of its parents. Naturally this has weakened the strength of your marriage bond. There is not much I can do to help you except to urge you to try harder and harder to break the inertia which comes from discouragement. I do not think your husband has lost his love for you. He has iimply lost his courage. Have you ever thought of trying to get work yourself to help regain your home? Dear Jane Jordan—l know nothing much about the Catholic religion but I do know something about “Just Another Reader’s” statement that “Any doctor can explain how to attain perfect birth control without extermination.” The Rhythm Method (to which she refers) is not scientific because: First, the so-called cycle does not occur at the same stated intervals in all women; and, second, it does not occur at the same interval in the individual woman. This proves out in practice as many of my Catholic women patients could testify. Any woman who depends on the books by Couche-Walsh or Leo Latz is doomed to disappointment. AN M. D. _ Answer—l thank you for your courtesy in offering information, but I will leave the reply to Catholic readers. I have no definite information on the reliability of either book. Dear Jane Jordan—l am a girl of 17. I went steady for four months with a boy of 22. He told me he loved me and that he couldn’t live without me. We were to get married as soon as possible. A month ago he told me that he didn’t love me. He said there wasn’t another girl and that he still liked me, but he wanted to quit. I think he wants me to run after him. I have run after him enough. I am crazy about him, and he was crazy about me, but when he found out I loved him he was ready to quit. Please tell me what I should do because I want to win him back. WORRIED. Answer—The young man was too hasty in his declaration of love. He has changed his mind, and you are lucky to have discovered it before you married. Don’t try to win him back. You are much too young to take a love affair so seriously. Miss Louise Berry will entertain members of Beta Chapter, Alpha Beta Gamnia Sorority, tonight at the home of Miss Dorothy Engle, 2332 W. 9th-st. Lo Sin Loy Sorority will hold initiation services tomorrow night at the home of Miss Virginia Jule, 3510 N. Pennsylvania-st, for Misses Betty Kinnaman and Mary Baldwin.

Os the 415 Sears stores in the United States, the Indianapolis branch is the first to have such a center. The center will be dedicated Friday with a party sponsored by the Women’s Press Club of Indiana.

A symphony in shades of brown, the social room, located on the store's second floor, has cheery walls of beige and furnishings in warm shades. Comfortable chairs and couches are arranged around the room and lamps are placed conveniently near reading tables. A radio and a piano complete the final note of comfort. For lectures, 400 guests can be accommodated, and the room is large enough to hold 80 tables for bridge play. A carpeted runway leads from the speaker's platform at the front of the room. Both the platform and the r inway are used for the fashion shows staged by Sears at each party. u a ana Accommodations foCMotorists AS a special attraction for motorists who find parking a problem, the store provides free parking space beck of the building for its patrons and guests When the party chairman makes final reservations with the center the store marks off ‘a section especially for the group.

A staff of trained chefs is maintained to serve tasty and attractive luncheons to the groups scheduling them.
