Clearer Interpretation of JJ S. Constitution Is Speaker’s Plea

A more understandable interpretation of the United States Constitution was urged by Dr. Abram Woodard, Meridian Street Methodist Episcopal Church pastor, in an Americanization Day speech today. Dr. Woodard spoke on "Our Government” before the Caroline Scott Harrison Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, in the chapter house. ‘T am sure that we flagrantly violate our nation's very spirit when we use its laws as a shibboleth and | try to petrify their provisions,” Dr. Woodard said. “While I make this plea to keep the life-blood flowing in the Constitution, I do not believe it needs amending half so much as it needs a clearer interpretation in the light of its fundamental spirit.” Dr. Woodard warned against efforts to change governmental forms too quickly. Believes Measures Fail “I suppose that I should not be partisan in this discussion,” he said, “but I must take time to remind you that in my judgment some government measures fall short of their goal, and that social progress is a very slow process. “No man or group of men is wise enough to peaceably revolutionize the given forms of government in a day. Neither should we forget that despite the terrible suffering of these recent years, the economic progress of the common people up to the beginning of the depression was unparalleled. “This may be, and no doubt is, small comfort to millions of our citizens who, though perfectly I I worthy, have been subjected to fearj ful and unprecedented humiliation, i Such humiliation is in some respects j ; worse than starvation.” The makers of the Constitution EASTERN STAR TO INSTALL OFFICERS i Nettie Ransford Chapter 464, j Order of Eastern Star, is to j install officers tonight at Prather [ , Masonic Temple, 42d-st and Col-lege-av. Installing officers include Mrs. Myrtle Bradshaw, worthy matron; Robert E. Creighton, worthy patron, and Mrs. Ethel Besore, chaplain.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

did not anticipate conditions which have become prevalent, Dr. Woodard said. “It'is unthinkable that the authors of our Constitution intended to make a document so unyielding as to make provision impossible for an innocent and worthy citizen who has been unable to find employment for years and often is brought to despair,” he said. Special music was on the program, and a tea followed. Tea hostesses included Mesdames James R. Branson, Archie N. Bobbitt, Ernest D. Cofield, Vaugh Cornish, Theodore D. Craven, James A. Moag, Doherty Sheerin and George S. Wainwright. Mrs. Claus H. Best, chairman of tea hostesses, was assisted by Mrs. Willis C. Nusbaum, vice president.

Views Cupid as ‘Expert’ on Business Marriage Clerk Points to License Decline in Bad Times. BY HELEN LINDSAY Some people turn to the financial page of the newspaper for a forecast of general conditions: others consult business experts to know how national affairs are going. But Judson H. West, Marion County marriage license clerk, points to the records of his department as an accurate business barometer. In the worst years of the depression, Mr. West says, Dan Cupid took an awful licking; marriage license records for the county, which had reached an all-time high in 1929 of 4378. plunged to a scant 2932 in 1932. To the average housewife, who is accustomed to calculating in dozens of eggs, pounds of butter, and quarts of milk, that might seem like a pretty good figure, even for a bad year. The average business man, contemplating figures in the black and red columns in his ledger, might not view them with much pessimism. Slight Decrease Shown But to Judson West, they are figures which make him shake his head and run his finger quickly down succeeding years’ records, for reassurance that the old world is staging a come-back. He’s hoping that the slight decrease in 1935 under the previous year’s figures indicates only a slight attack of “jitters” on the part of young people contemplating matrimony. And the fact that two young couples hunted him up at his home in Irvington yesterday morning, to obtain licenses on the first day of 1936, he says, should mean that this year will send the figures scooting up to anew high mark. Figures for Last 10 Years Taking the financial temperature of the county as seriously as a physician does that of an ailing patient, Mr. West gives the following marriage license figures for the last 10 years: 1926 3775 1927 3843 1928 3933 1929 4378 1930 3593 1931 3432 1932 2932 1933 3424 1934 4180 1935 4105 “Convalescing!” Mr. West comments. “We should be complexly recovered by the end of this year.” And he looks over the desk where applicants fill out the licenses, to see that the pen and ink supply is taken care of, and looks hopefully at the big double doors to the clerk's office, through which the victims—pardon us, the happy couples—are to appear. Most of Them Serious “There will be young ones and old ones,” Mr. West muses, as he closes the book containing previous years’ records. “Sometimes they come in here so young that they have to have their parents along to make their application legal. “Sometimes they are so old that their steps are a little tottery, and you wonder how they have the courage to take such an important step after years which undoubtedly have held many disappointments and set-backs for them. “But the average age seems to be between 20 and 30. Most of them take this marriage business pretty seriously, too. Os course we have facetious ones who come in and say they want to be ‘hitched’; and others, who grin and ask for a ‘dog license,’ but the average couple which comes in here asking for a marriage license has a romantic look. And when I hung a spring of mistletoe over the desk the day before Christmas, they all seemed glad to take advantage of it.” All is not happiness at the marriage license desk, however. Mr. West has to admit. Once, in a while, a couple applies for a license, and one or the other, in filling out the

MY DAY By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt

\yIHTE HOUSE, WASHINGTON, .lan. 2—We did not have a very large family group to see the New Year in. My eldest son and his wife, three friends of theirs; a young cousin, Joseph W. Alsop, who has been sent by his paper to cover the news in Congress, and half a dozen other

close friends, were with us. At 11:45 we were sitting in niv husband's study, the oval room, and we turned on the radio so as to be sure of the exact moment. A traditional New Year's egg nog was passed around. As the clock struck 13 we all stood up and over the radio floated “Old Syne.” as my husband proposed the first toast, which is always "To tha United States.” Then followed the New Year's greetings to each other and a telephone call to our daughter in New York. It was 1:30 before we all stopped talking and finally went on our way to bed. I was particularly struck, in talking with some of the younger men. to find their minds running on such serious subjects as to what would be the outcome in

various European countries of their present situation. On no previous year can I remember hearing history so violently discussed, and social conditions evaluated as to their bearing both at home and abroad. Many shades of political opinion were represented, but the whole trend of the conversation strengthened my belief that the thing we will have to be thankful for as we look over this past year is a growing sense of responsibility and social consciousness amongst all our citizens.

Varied Topics Arouse Interest in Next Week ’s Club Programs

Civic affairs, the progress of medicine, the experiments in modern pioneering in Alaska and other varied subjects present an interesting outlook for women's clubs programs next week. Mrs. O. H. Dietrich is to talk before Bremen Current Events Club members Monday on "Under the Northern Lights,” and Mrs. Otho Huff is to speak on ' Pioneering in Alaska.” The meeting is to be held in the home of Mrs. Harold Heckman, and the program has been arranged by Mesdames U. G. Dietrich. V. T. Weatherhead and John Elliott “Women in Government” and “The Mother in Industry and Care of the Child” are subjects of talks to be given before the New Era Club Monday. Modern Medicine Is Topic Mrs. Elizabeth Neal is to discuss progress of modern medicine and new treatments of diseases in a talk, “Medicine Marches On,” before the Irvington Home Study Club Tuesday. Officers are to be elected at the meeting of the Proctor Club Tuesday, and the January towel sale of application, has to record that he or she has been divorced previously. If the divorce has been granted within the last two years, court records must be consulted. If notification of the divorce action has been by publication in a newspaper, instead of by personal service, a marriage license can not be issued for a two-year period following the divorce decree. According to Indiana law, a prospective bride must apply for her license in the same county in which she'has legal residence, though the license may be used in any county in the state. There are a few couples who get alarmed when they are asked to raise their right hands and swear to the truth of the statements in their applications. Couples Show Concern “We’ve got our own minister engaged," they protest. “We don’t want to get mairied here; we just want to get the license.” And once, Mr. West recalls, a disgruntled gentleman wrote Glenn Ralston, county clerk, asking that his marriage license fee be refunded, as the marriage had been called off. Perhaps 1936 is to have a day which will boost the records over the record-breaking one, June 15, 1935. On that day, 45 marriage licenses were issued. Mr. West remembers that day well. It was the one on which he obtained his own license.

If you’ve heard this, please don't stop me. It’s entirely probable that you, too, have been reading the pert little magazine called “Mademoiselle.” But I simply must pass along the news (just in case you haven’t heard) about fashions and colors and the tremendous influence they have on our lives. First of all, I think you should know that green is said to be the color of sex appeal. And a dress of becoming shade of green should be worn when you want your Big Moment to propose. However, if your interests are more in the career line . . . 'tis said a dash of red should be introduced into your costume. For red inspires energy, power, drama and creative ability. One never knows . . . but try a little color in yuA. your life /pi .. . and let , l me know _ / the success v you have.
