Club Grill Popular on Men’s Night Bridge and Billiards Are Center of Interest for Members. BY BEATRICE BURGAS* SoclMt Editor mothers, wives or daughters were at Columbia Club members’ elbows last night to prescribe spinach instead of deviled crabmeat. No feminine friend was on hand to cast an Idle question in the conversation. Club night is men's night. From

6 o'clock, when the buffet supper is served, until the last bridge bid made or the last Dail shot into a pocket in a billiard game, the men have Monday nights to themselves. Members alone are privileged to attend these open houses, which have been on the

men's program for two years. Probably never before last night, when we looked on. has any woman dared to peep into their sanctum of masculine pleasures. Our invasion was only momentary, but sufficient to allow us to detect a spirit of camaraderie and good fellowship. Among the Faithful Ellis Hunter, Neal Thurston and Otis Logan are among the most faithful visitors at the club on these occasions, we were told. Mr. Hunter and Mr. Thurston's pool games prove that they practice consistently. The men gathered for dinner around a long table in the grill, adjoining the Cascade room, decorated in the most modern fashion. The grill is simply furnished, thoroughly masculine, no fancy colors or cushioned chairs dress it up. Dozens of steins are arranged on shelves around the room. These steins have a history. In 19D1 a stein party was held at the oiu clubhouse on Meridian-st and all the members who attended brought their own steins and gave them to the club as mementos of the occasion. Charles Martindale, one of the few living founders, has his name inscribed on one. The late Courtland Van Camp and Charles A. Bookwaiter, both figures in earlier Indianapolis history, attended the party and their steins are relics of their membership in the club. Names of Old Members In glancing over a few of them, we noted the names of Hervey Bates Jr., Clarence R. Rhoades, W. H. Harbison, J. F. Wild, Merle N. A. Walker and Harry Kahlo. From the grill men moved to the card or game rooms, according to their inclinations. W. D. Lewis, Harry S. Wolf, W. D. Miller and George Griffin played bridge in the card room, formerly the women's case. C. W. Ray watched their play —a silent onlooker with no gasps over the bids or the plays. Pardon to the women who can’t resist kibitzing. The rest of the men finished up the evening in the game room taking their turns at the pool or billiard tables. John L. Milner, billiard chairman, was among them, and William McMasters was one of the high scorers. George F. Davis, Abe Gardner, Harold Budd, C. C. Weiland, Dave Braden, Melvin Afliss, Elton heftier, Isadore Kornblume, former Senator W. A. Guthrie. L. W. Horning, J. T. Moorman, William Cooper and Lewis Jaffe matched their shots with each other. ana Mr. and Mrs. Leonard J. Lutz and Mrs. George A. White have returned from Detroit after visiting Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Lutz. Mrs. R. Felix Gpddes has been visiting in New York. Miss Mary Catherine Sexton has returned to her studies at St. Ma-ry’s-of-the-Lake.

WPA Training Fits 35 Young Women of State for Jobs in Business World

BY HELEN LINDSAY nPHIRTY-FIVE young Indiana ■*- women soon are to step into the business world, as the result of an eight weeks’ training period at McCormicks Creek Canyon State Park, under the Works Progress Administration. The course ended last week, after an unexpected bit of training in quarantine life, when two of the 35 enrolled developed diphtheria. So, in addition to learning recreation leadership, stenography, bookkeeping and household management, the girls know' how to live in quarantine. For most of the girls, the encampment period was their first experience away fipm home. They were enrolled from relief families in Bedford, Rushville, Evansville, Frankfort, Princeton, Richmond, Ft. Wayne, Lafayette, Henryville, Terre Haute, Jeffersonville, Gary, Harmony, Mishawaka, Bloomingdale and South Bend. Each girl was considered “employable” when selected, and was given training in a particular field Although not promised jobs, approximately 25 are to be placed almost immediately. The others are prepared for w'ork as soon as openings develop. tt n TWENTY were given training as recreation leaders. They are to be placed with WPA recreation divisions in their own counties. In some instances, these recreation projects are not in operation yet, but are expected to open in a short time. Girls who took training in t.vpig and shorthand are to be placed on WPA survey and clerical projects, and the Indiana State Employment Service, w'hich is making placements, hopes to find positions soon for them. Recruited from small cities in most instances, the girls learned how large muncipalities are operated through an organization set up in imitation of city government. They were under the direct supervision of a city manager and a city council elected from their own group. Problems which developed in the encampment period were settled after discussions by this group.

Music Federation Head to Address Hartford Group

Music clubs can serve the communities in which they are organized, Mrs. Frank B. Hunter, Indiana Federation of Music Clubs president, is to tell delegates to an annual district meeting at Hartford City tomorrow’. Mrs. Hunter, who is to speak on “What the Federation can do for the Music Club” is to incorporate into her address a resume of community services w’hich have been given by small music clubs. The talk is to be of special interest to the Fifth District members, w’hom she is to address, since she includes mention of the introduction of music instruction into rural schools by the Tipton Club, member of the Fifth District. Clubs included in this district are those of Tipton, Kokomo, Peru, North Manchester, Marion and Hartford City. The meeting is one of a series being held by the various districts.

Finger Painting Started to Give Children Their Own Art Medium

To give children an art medium on their own level, thus enabling them to derive feelings of power, satisfaction and accomplishment, was Ruth Faison Shaw’s motive when she originated finger painting, which she is demonstrating at the book and toy exhibit of the American Association of University Women this week in Ayres’ auditorium. Finger painting is co-ordinated with her doctrine of creative education, self-taught and demonstrated in her experimental school which she conducted for nine years in Rome. In this new play technique children are encouraged to smear color with spread palms, clenched fists and fingers and to use fretrhythmic muscular movements of their whole bodies. Today as she spread color over large sheets of damp paper, several

Voters League to Study U. S. Tax Problems Indianapolis members of the League of Women Voters are to study the national tax problem, following distribution today of the league’s tax review, which has been prepared by Miss Katharine A. Frederic, Washington, League’s department of government and its operation secretary. Mrs. Walter S. Greenough, Indianapolis, is national department chairman. The state department is headed by Mrs. Richard Edwards, Peru, and the Indianapolis department by Mrs. Lester Smith. The review reveals that citizens are confronted with a dilemma of conflicting taxation-tax competition tlkween the Federal governi ment and the states, interstate ! competition, confused admimstraI tion and often unjust distribution of the tax burden. Duplications Listed Listing state taxes which conflict ! with those of the Federal govern- | ment. Miss Frederic named levies on income, tobacco, gasoline, alcoholic beverages and general sales. In commending the creation of ) the Tax Revision Council, repre- | senting Federal, state and local governments, to study tax systems, she urged co-operation of all government units. “Citizens interested in securing adequate financial support for schools, child welfare services and governmental activity in other fields that they believe will promote public welfare, can do much to resist the pressure of those whose chief concern is arbitrary tax reduction,” Miss Frederic said. “Emergency measures may be necessary to relieve the burdened taxpayer in an economic depression, though relief to the individual must be weighed against the necessity for providing essential governmental services at a time when public revenues are depleted.*’ Food and drug legislation is to be discussed by Dean Charles B. Jordan, Purdue University School jf Pharmacy, at a meeting of the Indiana League of Women Voters at 2:30 tomorrow. The meeting is to be held in the Indianapolis Athletic Club, and is sponsored by the department of government and economic welfare, of which Mrs. William Allen Moore is vice chairman. Prof. Jordan, who is a recognized authority on food and drug legisla-* tion, has appeared at various times before the committee on commerce in Washington, to assist in discussion of possible legislation Mr. and Mrs. John B. Stokely have returned from a trip to California. During their stay in the West they attended the wedding of Mr. Stokely’s cousin. William B. Stokely Jr., and Mrs. Temara Palmer at Yuma, Ariz.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Last week she attended a two-day meeting in Evansville, at w’hich smaller southern Indiana city clubs attended. A feature of this district program was the concert of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. At a luncheon given last Wednesday in honor of Mrs. Hunter and Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Goossens, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra director and his wife, district officers were guests. An all-day meeting w’as held the following day. Other district meetings include one at Salem Friday; another at Terre Haute, Nov. 12; one at Fowler, Nov. 15, and one at Rushville, Nov. 21. Mrs. Hunter Is to attend these meetings, several of w’hich W’ill have special feature programs. A junior meeting for organizations in the southern part of Indiana is to be held in Bloomington, Nov. 16. A similar meeting for junior organizations was held in Flora Oct. 26.

children watched her paint pictures with her fingers and arm. As she spread out the paint in undulating lines, one child spoke out, ‘‘That looks like the ocean.” Their eyes widened as their imaginations were stirred by pictures. Children Seem Eager Their fingers touched the edge of the table in eagerness as <hey watched the simple movements of her hands as she drew fanciful pictures. Miss Shaw has experimented to discover a formula for the paint, as simple for children to work with as mud pies. “Finger painting gives color and form to thoughts for which children often know no words,” Miss Shaw explained to the youthful visitors’ mothers. “It is not always a thing of beauty which the children draw at first; it may be something sinister and evil, which, to the teachers is an outward sign of some deepseated obsession in the child’s subconscious mind interfering with his normal progress.” The medium gives crippled and handicapped children an imaginative and mental interest in the movements they are able to make. Describes Child Picture She described how a child with a brain lesion and lack of muscle control was able to draw a goat by her involuntary hand movements. The pictures that resulted from the nervous jerks of her hand could not be reproduced by the other normal children, and thus she was given anew mental interest in the movements she made. The child no longer experienced feelings of defeat, but was encouraged by this strange creative ability she never knew before. A blind woman visited Miss Shaw at Ayres yesterday and through her keen sense of smell was able to choose the colors with which to paint. Today she came to “see” her picture—by tracing her sensitive fingertips over the dry picture. Invariably Miss Shaw can detect the child who has suffered from the interference of adults in his actions. Always his pictures are chaotic in theme. But generally his power of selectivity and taste overcomes the revolt in his mind; he relaxes and his pictures become things of beauty. Adult persons of high-strung, temperamental dispositions have found relaxation through fingerpainting as pastime. Stage designers and decorators are beginning to appreciate the pictorial possibilities. Psychiatrists have been experimenting with the medium as an aid in cljpical diagnosis. Still these various angles have not lured M'ss Shaw from hr original objective—the introduction of finger-painting as a method of self-expression in art in the education of the very young.

U. S. to Spur New Social Service Plan Federal Legislation Aimed to Speed Up Projects Explained. New Federal legislation is to give definite acceleration to social service work. Stressing this point in his lecture last night at Caleb Mills Hall, David C. Adie, New York State Social Welfare Commissioner.! outlined Community Service work as it is to exist in the future. Mr. Adie was brought here by the Junior League of Indianapolis and the Committee for Volunteers of the Council of Social Agencies. His talk was one of a serifs in a course designed for volunteer social workers. Bring Back U. S. Tradition “Welfare workers must have a board of experienced workers,” he said. “In this way they will bring back the American tradition of local interest to welfare work, and prevent the public official from becoming sterile in his concept of what the American people want done.” He expressed fear that if this were not done, social welfare admin-' istration will become just another government department. “We never can pay the cost of welfare as embodied in the Federal plan of social security .on the basis of local taxation,” Mr. Adie said. “I look forward to a continuation of Federal, state and local financial relationship.” Need Enlarged Powers Welfare boards must have enlarged powers, he declared. “They must be‘clothed with administrative powers, and be taken out of the inspirational field into the functional field,” he said. “They must be allowed to plan institution programs. “If we do the smart thing, we will incorporate into every local unit county boards of social welfare which will have a definite place in functioning.” The work of private agencies is not to end with organization of public welfare units, and federal aid, Mr. Adie believes. Public Agencies Limited “Private agencies function where public ones can not in some instances,” he pointed out. “Public agencies can deal only in terms of interpretation of law Few public agencies have the ability to hire the type of personnel which can do the finer type of welfare work. “It would be a bad thing to hand over to the government all things that belong to us as individuals. If the government were willing to assume all social welfare work, I should resist handing it over. “We must merge the three groups —public officials, the council of social agencies—of which you have a fine example in Indianapolis and other interested groups such as Rotary, Kiwanis and other service clubs. “We must base our program on the experiences of the last 70 years. Public agencies will have to come up to the level of private agencies in their conception of what social work means.” Community Problems Individual community problems must be considered, Mr. Adie believes. “We must use a rifle rather than a shotgun in attacking social problems,” he said. “We can not afford to waste our resources. Besides planning, we must develop personnel and organization.” Welfare work is not a panacea for all social ills, Mr. Adie said, but has a definite limit. “Social workers have no right to probe into cupboards and criticize the housekeeping of the poor,” he said. “The poor have the same right to imperfection that their more fortunate brothers have. Workers must remember that they are guests in the homes of the people whom they serve, and not violate the privileges of guests.” He praised the work of the local Junior League in preparing books for the blind, and in the occupational therapy work at the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children. “These projects represent more imagination in worthwhile things than I have seen in a long time,” Mr. Adie said.

Urges Visits to Schools by Parents Paul C. Stetson Declares Such Interest Will Aid Progress. Parents today were urged to visit the schools attended by their children. in an address given by Paul C. Stetson, Indianapolis school superintendent, before the Indianapolis Council of Women, at the Wm. H. Block Cos. auditorium. "No one wants to be 25 years behind time in his information on any current problem," Mr. Stetson said. “Yet there is a gap of almost a quarter of century between the school days of many parents and those of their children. “We can not allow ourselves to believe that we are familiar with school problems if we are using our own experiences of 25 years ago to judge the schools of today. Schools Must Progress “While there are certain fundamentals of education which remain constant, schools must be progressive. The courses of study’ and teaching methods are changing. The alert and intelligent parent will keep informed by visiting the schools.” Interest of parents will influence school progress, he stated. "Public education is a community enterprise, in which all intelligent citizens should be interested. The schools can be no better than the community wishes them to be. School experiences will determine largely children’s future economic and social status.” World Trends Outlined E. J. Unruh, Indiana Council on International Relations executive secretary’, outlined present day world trends before the meeting in an address following the luncheon. “The present crisis may work itself out in two ways,” he said. “One may be world anarchy, under which there will be disregard of the League of Nations covenant as a collective body of international law. If that develops, it will mean a further intensification of political and economic nationalism, both of which already have been developed when international trade seriously was jeopardized.” Mr. Unruh recommended democracy for all nations. “If nations take the only sensible turn, they will develop international co-operation and take on a form of democracy, based of course on the League of Nations covenant as a body of international law,” he said. Thinks Civilization Threatened International anarchy would threaten western civilization, Mr. Unruh said. “Western civilization actually is threatened by what is in the offing —conflict between the colored nations and the white. The nations should branch off into international democracy, which would mean a planned national and in'emational economy. This would break down the high pressure of the economic situation in Germany, Italy and Japan. “It will not mean Communism, especially in America. Communism already is beginning to modify itself, by virtue of necessity. The new democracy already is beginning to take shape.” Party Marks Birthday Dr. and Mrs. George King entertained recently with a birthday party for their son, William King, student at Indiana University.

What with all the talk about advancing prices of raw silk, we might have reason to worry just a bit about our next pair of hosiery. But—no—not while MAROTT’S sells that good Gordon line. Pay 79c (3 pairs for $2.25) or $1 (3 pairs for $2.75) and rest assured that you are paying the regular, all-time prices set by this celebrated maker of fine hosiery. By the way, that $2.75 buy represents a real saving. Now, you know you always have 3 lengths from which to choose. And if you've never troubled to discriminate thusly, you'll wonder how you could have overlooked such a feature. Select the specific sheerness that will best serve your purpose . . . decide upon the shade that complements your costume ... all with the aid of MAROTT’S Hosiery experts. Note: If you've been having undue difficulties with runs and stretchy hose, ask to see Ne-Flex, the $1 hose with the extra Lastex feature in the knee. This price-plus-quality question must be one of the reasons Gordon designates MAROTT'S as a “better store.” a a a Slip covers are equally good summer and winter. Think how a bright chintz or some colorful

stripes would add life to a deep dark chair and make the entire room more cheerful. It’s a splendid time now to dress up the sun room.

Delaware St., with a stock of fabrics and a staff of experts to lend a helping hand. Why not have them make an estimate right now? There is no obligation to that.
