Housewife's Welfare Requires Some Intervals Away from Home
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Don't stick in the house. Put on your hat and I'll put on mine and we’ll go out. It doesn't matter where —just out. What we do or where we go is beside the point. The idea is to shake the house dust off our feet and think about something other than cold-starching, hash for dinner, and the darning. The very minute you think you can't go is the minute to go. It takes courage to move our bootstraps sometimes. That feeling that we are prisoners, can't move, and must be on the job eternally is the very thing that undermines us. And thus undermined we get the blues, a dull tiredness, and a sense of futility. Go on Strike What will you do with the baby? Oh, put on his hat and coat and wheel him along if you like. But isn't there any one anywhere you can get in to take your turn for a while? Remember, you are on a strike. This is your day. The day you are to inhale the medicine of fresh air, shopping, or at least window shopping, pleasant people, falling leaves, and the changing sky. We often wonder how it is that a man can go to his work day after day for years and stand it. Or that women can work in stores, in schoolrooms. in offices and not go crazy with the monotony. I think the answer is obvious. They all get out. Their scene changes. Each day is a kaleidoscope of different colors. True they go

| out in the baking heat of summer and the zero days of winter, and ! their daily work is confining, but the very fact that they have a journey ! to make two or four times a day makes it bearable, although the journey itself may be unpleasant in its way and a hardship. Change Vital to Health Monotonous housework and four | walls makes for a sort of morbid madness. Every woman I know, iimost, gets it sometimes. And the ; pity of it is that by some sort of ingenuity these very women can get out if they make the effort. The answer is easy for the woman with children in school. It is more of a problem where pre-school children have to be looked after. I believe there is a real opportunity waiting for someone who will : establish neighborhood nurseries where mothers can safely park their little ones for a couple of hours at a reasonable cost, from the baby on up. To get away now and then is more than sentiment. It is vital to health and still more vital to spirits. Come home tired—that’s all right. Then get the family to pitch in and help. The right sort of family will co-operate every time. Anyway I should not put collars and catsup and cleaning before my soul. And the soul sickens with slavery, too often self-imposed.

A. public affairs committee, at the home of Mrs. Walter C. Marmon, Brendenwood, has been communicating with Dr. Milner throughout the book's preparation. "Dr. Milner defines Fascism and Communism and dictatorship concisely and clearly, and definitely rejects each as a permanent solution of our problems.” Dr. Woodard said. "At the same time he shows that they are inevitable unless capitalism at once makes certain radical changes in production, in distribution, in wages and distribution of wealth.”

Girl Scouts Prepare for Landscaping Project at Little House Scheduled to Begin Tomorrow. BY HELEN LINDSAY If J. T. Frank Laughner, Whitestown, decides to dig in his flower beds tomorrow, he may think that a thief has been in his tool shed and taken away the garden implements. A glance at the calendar will remind him that tomorrow is the day when landscaping begins in the Girl Scout Little House. 14th-st, between Pennsylvania and Delaware-sts. Then he will know where to look for a missing rake and spade. They probably will be in active use at the Little House m the hands of his 16-year-old daughter. Betty Jo, or her sister Eugenia. So keen is Mr. Lnughner's interest in his daughters’ landscaping activities, he probably will hurry to the Little House to help them. Six members of the New Augusta Girl Scout troop, all working for their tree finder merit badges, are to be busy tomorrow. They are the Laughner sisters, Madge King. Martha Tool, Catherine Wagle and Christine Wright. Catherine has been a member of the troop five years, while the other girls entered two or three years ago. Living as they do in suburban homes, the interest of these girls naturally has turned to outdoor activities. When the New Augusta school closes in April, Scout meetings are to be held in the open air. Their yearly schedule calls for long hikes and nature study jaunts, with an annual bus trip to one of the Indiana s'ate parks. I.earn Tree Care Last spring, as a part of their tree finder work, they selected small trees in the woods, which they uprooted and transplanted. Each girl chase a different tree. Mrs. C. C. Dobson, their troop leader, still smiles with amusement when she remembers with what difficulty the long roots of an oak were dug from the ground. All of the trees but one lived. They are to be used for practical experience in spraying, pruning and other care. The landscaping on the Little House grounds is not the first these girls have done. They began the work at the suggestion of Rasemary Dobson, their troop loader's daughter, who selected it as an intesting project after completing a course in landscaping under Willard N. Clute, curator of the Butler University herbarium. Rosemary is a Butler sophomore, and a lieutenant in the Scout troop. Yards of the girls’ homes served as their first practice ground. They drew landscape plans to scale, and criticised the planting, making changes where necessary. They were assisted in the work by Mrs. Dobson and the Rev. H. Grady Davis, Salem Lutheran Church pastor, who is their nature study examiner. Get Lawn Job So impressed by their study is Mr. Davis that he has commissioned the girls to landscape the church lawn soon. So impressed are the girls that they have started individual projects in their own homes. Betty Jo Laughner planted her own vegetable and flower garden last summer. She plowed the ground, on one of the hottest days, with the gasoline tractor with which her father cultivates ground for his gladioli plants. In the 50-foot square, which was planned carefully, there were orderly rows of humble cabbage plants, as well as flowers. Tiny walks led Betty Jo through the plot on her tours of inspection. Madge King has persuaded her father to give her the space formerly taken by his strawberry plants, and in this she hopes to raise a garden next year. The girls have high hopes for the landscaping of the Little House grounds. They are to plant evergreens for which the Indianapolis Park Board has been caring. Tulip and narcissus bulbs also are to be planted this fall. Early in the spring, barberry, spirea and honeysuckle are to be added, and later the girls hope to build a small rock garden and pool in the rear of the house. The northern section of the grounds is to be used for outdoor meetings. It is to be terraced, with flagstones, each contributed by an individual troop, and an arbor of grape vines or climbing roses is planned. The group plans include a low white picket fence, and high shrubs which will shield the teriace from adjacent houses. Peonies are to be planted this fall, and next summer the girls hope to have perennial flower beds on the grounds. Small, But Active While the New Augusta troop Is one of the smallest, having only 18 members, it is one of the most active. It escorted more visitors to the Little House, before it was awarded to Girl Scouts, than any other troop, and for two successive years has won the Needlework Guild's sewing contest. The first year the prize money was used for covers for furniture in the winter co’tage at Camp Dellwood. Last year it was us°d to purchase new books for the nature study library', which is extensive, and has as its librarian 13-year-old Henrietta Simmons. She has prepared library cards for the books, which are kept in a chest at the New Augusta school, and are loaned to Scout members for nature study. Brownie members are to be guests tomorrow, to inspect the beginning of the landscaping.
