Orchard School Grounds Resound With Shouts as Fathers Take Over Gym Patrons Sharpen Eyes for Basket-Shooting —Girls Hear Rumors Their Mothers May Have Weekly Sports. Iff BEATRICE BV'ROAN Society Editor JUBILANT shouts from the Orchard School playhouse have been ringing through the grounds on Tuesday afternoons. The voices are deep and certainly not cries of children. Investigation reveals that the pupils’ fathers have taken over the gymnasium for their “setting up" exercises. Right now the fathers are practicing basket shooting, and the bovs are wondering if their fathers are too good to take on for a basketball game. The girls are interested in rumors that their mothers are to invade the gymnasium for sports once a week.

The third grade pet, Billy, a goat, helped the class decide on its project in connection with its study of pioneer days. They chose to build a "Conestoga’’ wagon, a type of prairie schooner. When the wagon is completed. Billy is to draw it across the school grounds as the children stage a prairie trek. On the migration they are to stake out their property claims in the manner of the pioneers. Miss Mabel Culmer and Herbert Sweet are assisting thv children in their project, and Hillis Howie, hcadhas approved it. The third graders bought Billy when they were in the first grade. They are assigned to “turns” in caring for the animal, and every' year promote money-making plans to feed him. Last year they bought dates, r.uts and powdered

WOMEN ARE TOLD OF SECURITY ACT Regardless of many difficulties which he sees in the Social Security Act. Edward J. Green, who spoke before the Business and Professional Women’s Club last night, believes that it Is to be of great benefit to bankers and business men In listing dangers to the legislation Mr. Green said the constitutionality the bill is questionable: nothing of this nature ever has \en tu/d on such a vast scale and the taxes required to finance it will be tremendous. “The method of tax collection is setting a dangerous precedent,” Mr. Green said. "The revenue for this bill is to be provided in large measure by pay roll deductions. These taxes are not earmarked. The money collected to finance the social security program flows into the Treasury as general revenue, and then is appropriated for the different functions by the budget committee. It would be comparatively easy to divert part of this money to other channels. ’

Wives of Veterans lite Need for Bonus Money; Hesitate to Count on It!; Plans for Spending- Which Have Been Lost in Past Rebuffs Leave Women With Half-Hearted Interest. BY HELEN LINDSAY Rebuffed by failure of several attempts to pass the soldiers’ bonus bill, Indianapolis veterans’ wives today took only a half-hearted interest in making ( plans for spending bonus money, should Congress authorize its payment. None of more than a half-dozen women interviewed had made definite plans. The money, to many of them, still is shrouded in vagueness. does not appear to them as actual dollars and cents in family exchequers. “But if we do get it, there are a hundred places for each family to

spend it,” all agreed.

"None of it will be wasted,” Mrs. Jean Boyle, 307 Berkley-rd, said. “It will relieve many women of household bills which have been pressing them for some time. But payment has been so uncertain, and still Is, for that matter, that I haven't made any definite plans for spending.” Needed For Machinery Mrs. Helen Clarridge, 1457 E. 59thst, sees an opportunity for her husband to acquire machinery he has needed in his business for some time. "That is, if we get it,” Mrs. Clarridge said. “A lot of things can happen, and we still may not get it. You know, this is a year when (here is a political campaign, and there can be things done to halt bonus payment again.” The money, if it is paid, is to be converted quickly into paint on the home of Mrs. Edward Snyder, 2330 E. 16th-st, she forecast today. “I want to have some outside walks fixed up, too, and there are a number of things that I would like to do with it for my two daughters, Marcille, 11, and Dorothy May, 14,” Mrs. Snyder said. Families in Need Mrs. Paul Whipple visited the veterans’ hospital at Marion last week, and has lost sight of what she would like to do with her husband's bonus money in visions of what it would jo for the families of veterans who are there. “I don’t think ny of it would be thrown away,” Mrs. Whipple said. “There are 101 different ways that the money could be used by those men and their families. But you can't spend money until you get it.” Mrs. Earl D. Finley, 1201 W. 33rdst, believes she and her husband would be content to take their bonus payments in bonds, if given this alternative. “My husband was so young when he went into service, and served so short a time, that it wouldn’t amount to very much in actual cash,” she explained. “But we would like to take bonds, and let them accumulate interest which would be of use in the future. Disappointments Many "But, like most veterans’ wives, I haven’t thought a lot about it. We’ve had so many disappointments about payment of the bonus that we haven’t done any planning until recently.” So those pencils which are beginning to figure a little cn the family budgets again are wavering indecisively. For the bonus still is like an elusive basketball being tossed around, and Indianapolis women ire remembering the old adage about the “slip betwixt the cup and the lip” before becoming too enthusiastic. Back in 1922, when the first big bonus bill was passed by both houses of Congress, these women saw in it • cure for many financial ailments. At that time the Hose overrode President Harding’s veto, but the Senate sustained it. and those embryonic plans of local women vanished. Collected in Part In 1927, when authorization was given to pay face value of certificates of that date, many of the veterans collected a part of the bonus and spent it for living costs. Later, w'hen both houses overrode President Hoover's veto of the bill authorizing veterans to borrow up to 50 per cent of the face value of the certificates, veterans’ wives again became hopeful, they said today. They spent that borrowed money on household necessities, and a few frills for their homes. Three subsequent actions of Congress have blown their interest hot and cold on this visionary money. Today they are beginning to be hopeful again, but they are not counting on the bonus as a “sure thing” yet.

MY DAY By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt

WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON.—A very pleasant Sunday in the country, a long walk, a lazy afternoon, gradually seeing every one depart for the city, leaving four of us to sit by the fire with our books and our knitting. As usual on Sundays we let the maid go home at 2:30,

and when supper time came we all became very busy housewives. My opportunities to satisfy a craving natural to nearly all women are rather rare, so, though I am not a good cook. I love to set a table, arrange a salad and do whatever else I am allowed to do. I put the table before the open fire, and with only the firelight and our lamps, our pewter, silver and blue and white china looked very nice indeed. When supper was over and everything was put aw'ay, we settled down for a peaceful evening and went to bed early in preparation for a return to New York City this morning. The quiet of the night in the country was such a contrast to the continuing sounds of any city. Just

opening the windows, listening to the occasional creaking of a branch, or the distant cracking of the ice in the brook, was restful in itself. Those w'ho never sink into this peace of nature lose a tremendous well of strength, for there is something healing and life-ghing in the mere atmosphere surrounding a country house.

Days in ‘Limberlost’ Recalled by Secretary of Late Writer

Mrs. Frank N. Wallace, for seven years Gene Stratton-Porter’s secretary, honored the author’s memory today in a talk before the Woman's Press Club of Indiana at the Indianapolis Athletic. Club. The subject was "Bookmaking Days in Limberlost.” In her last letter to Mrs. Wallace before her sudden death in California, Mrs. Porter answered criticism that her characters were too idealistic to be real. She wrote, “I have written every one of my books from my heart’s best impulses, made them as clean and decent as I knew how, and as beautiful and interesting.” In answer to a woman who wrote from Africa that if there was such a man as “The Harvester,” she would like his address, Mrs. Porter replied, “I am sorry that I can’t give you his address—one half of the character

has passed to eternal life and the other half is married.” She referred, Mrs. Wallace explained, to her own father who was dead and to the husband of a dear friend. Mrs. Porter persistently refused to write the so-called "problem” novel; she preferred instead to endeavor to interest her readers in the best of human nature and to open their eyes to outdoor beauties, the audience was told. A survey at Columbia University showed that among the 20 “best sellers” published since 1875 were four of Mrs. Porter’s books. “Freckles'* was listed second on the list. Mrs. Wallace was introduced fcd Mr. Wallace by Mrs. Porter and was married at Limberlost Cabin. After their marriage Mrs. Wallace spent all her vacations with her author friend. Mrs. Florence Herz Stone presided at a board meeting preceeding luncheon and the program. French Author Is to Address Club Members Maj. Max Vivier of France, artist and author, is to address Allianc# Francaise at 8 tonight in the Washington.

Preceding the talk, the speaker is to be honored at dinner. Maj. Vivier is official lecturer of the Federation of the Alliance Francaise of New York. Since he has been in this country he has painted several American landscapes and New York scenes, which recently were exhibited in New York.

You often like to know how stockings wear . . . and to hear somfli friends experience with a certain

brand . . „ before you buy. So. taka this personal tip from me. I like Gordon Hosiery and I also like Marott's Ringless. You can always count on

both to give a perfect fit. good looks and long wearing qualities. During MAROTT'S January Clearance Sale, which is now in full sway, these Gordon Hose are priced 83c or two pairs for $1.60. And the Ringless (very dainty and dressy these are) are only 69c. Yes, and the values in shoes are still in evidence. Rice-O’Neill, Paradise. Qu’en Quality and Dickerson's—all are noticeably reduced in price. You know the kind of values they are . . , you eagerly put in a few dollars for you know how much pleasure and comfort are to be derived from wearing them. Nationally famous makes, when offered by such firm as MAROTT’S, secure new friends every day.
