Charms Are Important, People Say

Beatrice Finds “Secrets” of Many Persons in Purses. BY BEATRICE BURGAN Society Editor LtoTL*. vtoys have been chided for collections they carry around in their pockets “Just because they might have some use for them some time.” If women’s purses were emptied and men’s pockets turned inside out. we probably would And some objects for which we couldn’t

account. Bui hese adults who carry odd pieces around with them say the trinkets have a very definite purpose in their lives —which to their way of thinking has all the charm of the “left hind foot of a rabbit killed in a graveyard.” Mrs. Henry C.

Atkins Jr., for instance, transfers an old silver dollar from one purse to another. So certain was she that the coin held good luck in store for her that she slipped it in her slipper before she marched down the church aisle at her wedding. Mrs. Atkins’ late grandfather, August Kuhn, gave the dollar to her when she was a child. Ah! Rabbit's Foot Mrs. George T. Parry, who Is to play the lead in “Kind Lady,” the Civic Theater production which opens tomorrow, depends on a wellworn rabbit's foot to guide her destiny. Since the days when Mrs. Parry toured with Margaret Anglin, the rabbit's foot has reposed in her make-up kit—and has brought her luck, she says. Skiles Test refuses to replace the quaint gold pocket watch belonging to his father. No modern timepiece could bless his time with as much good fortune, he insists. Mr. Test’s fiancee, Mrs. Elsa Pantzer Haerle, wouldn’t drive her car out of the garage if her rabbit's foot wasn’t hanging in the car in its beaded case. Mrs. Thomas Harvey Cox brought the trinket to Mrs. Haerle from California, and the In-dian-made symbol of good fortune satisfies Mrs. Haerle that her rides will be unimperiled. Ferdinand Schaefer, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra director, is so assured of the good-omen of chestnuts that occasionally he slips one to his favorite pupils, before their appearance in important recitals. Before Louise Essex appeared as guest artist with the symphony this week, he handed her a trinkef*: lie was very secretive about its significance but promised that it would bring success. Chestnuts His Charm Mr. Shaefer himself never lifts his baton in direction unless he has transferred his good luck chestnuts from his business suit to his evening clothes. He solicited a promise from Miss Essex that she would carry a chestnut with her when she played in a contest at Minneapolis. She won the contest. Frederick Burleigh, Civic director, doesn’t clutter up his pockets with charms, but he invariably wears a shabby looking tweed top coat to practices and dress rehearsols. Mrs. Rosamond Van Camp Hill, when she directs Children’s Theater plays, frowns on whistling on the premises. It forecasts trouble, she believes. Before Mrs. August Bohlen ever ventures out in anew car she has her St. Christopher medal fastened to the dashboard. The small enameled plate has on it a figure of St. Christopher, patron saint of travelers. Mrs. Bohlen bought several of the medals in Italy and gave one to Mrs. George M. Bailey, who looks upon it as a good luck piece when she rides her jumpers in the horse show ring. Mrs. Bohlen has a similar feeling about the medal’s charm and carries one in her pocket when she rides in shows. u u u Miss Harriet Denny is visiting her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hollingsworth, in New York for a month.

Indiana Artists Are Listed for Exhibit in East New York City, Jan. 16. Dear Beatrice Burgan—Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Rand Magee (Rena Tucker) asked mother and myself over for dinner test week-end. Mrs. Magee was full of news about the annual exhibition of the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors which opens Jan. 25 in the Argent Galleries at 215 W. 57th-st. Among the women Hoosierites to exhibit are Sara Bard, Carolyn Bradley, Marie Goth, Mrs. Ruth S. Schildknecht and Lucy Taggart, all of Indianapolis; Mrs. Caroline Durieux, South Bend, and Mrs. Ella A. Shumate, Lebanon. This is the forty-fifth exhibition of the association. Fifteen hundred dollars in cash prizes are to be handed out for the best pictures. Every member of the organization has the privilege of submitting work. Mrs. Magee is in charge of the show. “Though only the work of women is exhibited,” she said, “its appeal is not as such. The pictures possess strength, beauty and variety.” New York’s going pretty art-con-scious generally. Mayor La Guardia opened his Municipal Art Galleries at 62 W. 53d-st last week.

Her contract in the South was three no trump. As she explained the hand. It is easy to see that the first heart lead must be won with the king. Many players now would make the mistake of hoping that the diamonds would break, but Mrs. Rockwell stopped and took inventory first. She had one spade, one heart, three diamond, and three club tricks —only eight. Her contract was for nine tricks. Therefore, she decided that she must wip at least four diamond tricks. As this was her job. she planned the hand accordingly. After the opening heart lead was won with the king, Mrs. Rockwell led the four of diamonds and when West played low, she played low from dummy, permitting East to win the trick. Now, regardless of what East returned, declarer was bound to make at least three no trump. (Copyright, 1936, by NEA Service, Inc.)

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

City Library Patrons Get Paying Jobs Report Shows Return of Prosperity Brings Reader Loss. % BY HELEN LINDSAY The busy clicking of the meter in the taxi of at least one driver in Indianapolis, while it registers a return of prosperity to his business, spells decrease in book circulation for the public library. A local taxi driver recently told a librarian that two years ago he spent almost every day in the library, reading, “Now I'm too busy to come to the library at all,” he said. Miss Marcia M. Furnas, chief of the circulation department at Central Library, believes he and his fellows in other occupations are in part responsible for the decrease in books circulated. The decrease has been noted in reports not only of Indianapolis, but of other cities. Cities Show Decline Reports from 35 cities indicate a slight decrease in book circulation in 1935, after several years of unprecedented gains, according to a statement from the American Library Association. Although the report credited increase in work with some of this decrease, insufficient funds to buy books was given as the prime factor. Patrons, it was pointed out, become discouraged at having to wait for books and stop trying to get them. With this statement, Miss Furnas agrees heartily. “Literally, scores wait perhaps months for their turn to read books like ‘Skin Deep,’ Vincent Sheehan’s ‘Personal History,’ Hackett’s ‘Francis the First,’ Morris’ ‘Fifty Years a Surgeon’ or books on Diesel engines,” she says. “Many people who once bought their own books turn to the library. Pleas that the library buy specific new titles come in at the rate of 40 or 50 a week. War Brings Orders “Interest in Ethiopia found this library, as doubtless many others, with small resources,” Miss Furnas continues. “Orders were placed for books, which began to come from the press. Every passage in any old book which could throw light on the character of the country was hunted out and pressed into service. Such demands on a book budget can not be predicted and somehow must be arranged, if the library is to fulfill its function of providing needful information.” According to the national report, another reason for less reading on the part of the public is that more money is i vailable to spend on movies and other entertainment. People have created working hobbies, to 3, the report says, to care for the time formerly consumed in desultory reading in depression years. Hundreds of thousands of these desultory readers, however, have developed into serious readers of discriminating tastes. Registration of new readers in almost all cities reporting shows an increase, which librarians interpret to mean that interest in reading is as great as ever, but that shortage of books has discouraged many older patrons. Non-fiction reading increased in 1935, while fiction reading decreased. In Indianapolis, according to Miss Furnas, the volume of non-fiction reading has increased steaaiiy. “In November, 1935, it reached the highest point in our history, 45 per cent,” Miss Furnas says. “Five years ago it was only 35 per cent of the total, but by 1934 it was 43 per cent.” Books which lead in readers’ demands, according to the national report, are those on useful arts, biography and travel. “North to the Orient” by Anne Morrow Lindbergh topped the list of non-fiction books requested by readers in 33 cities. Biographies stood high on the list. Popular Number Also popular were books on consumers’ services (exposure of frauds), labor and government problems, child study, vocations, civil service, inspirational and success books. Influence of war was reflected in increased calls for volumes on peace and disarmament, Ethiopia, China and Japan. Books on recovery and the New Deal were not as popular, the report showed, as they were a year ago with the general reading public, although high school and college students still require them. Adult education evening classes and discussion groups were responsible for increase in serious reading, and the radio and movies also increased the calls for library books, officials said. In fiction, the trend is for stories concerned with the social scene, rather than the individual. Regional novels showed a gain, which was explained by the influence of the Pulitzer prize fpr fiction, which was awarded in 1935 to Ellen Glasgow, for “Vein of Iron.” Moving pictures based on standard and popular novels created an abnormal call for. such classics as “David Copperfield,” “Les Miserables,” “Anna Karenina” and “The Count of Monte Cristo.” Western and mystery stories continued to hold popularity, according to the reports, with mystery stories in the lead.

U. S. Future 1 Endangered,! Woman Savs * I ! Speaker Urges Proper Care Be Given Children. Unless child welfare is given proper attention now, the nation later will pay a greater cost in handicapped and misfit adults, Miss Emma Puschner, national child welfare chairman, American Legion, said today. Speaking before women of the Seventh District Federation of Women’s Clubs at the Claypool, Miss Puschner cited handicaps in the child welfare program’s progress, caused .by the depression. “In the midst of emergency relief administration for the unemployed and destitute, the children practically are forgotten,” Miss Puschner said. “They are being given only the bare necessities of life that provide immediate food, a covering of clothing and a bare shelter.” Urges Women to Act Miss Puschner urged that women bring the attention of legislators to the needs of children. “Unless this is done, many of them will assume that providing general relief funds also will cover the needs of children,” she said. “Special needs include locating children who are tuberculosis contacts, providing special food for sick and undernourished children not included in the ordinary budget for the family on relief, providing necessary medical and health, care, and providing not only assistance to children in their own homes, but also assistance to children who must receive foster care.” The social security act will provide this care, if properly drafted, Miss Puschner believes. Suggests Line of Work “The 1935 act provides for payments to states with approved plans beginning July 1, 1935, but money has not been appropriated yet to carry out the purposes of the act,” she said. “The social security board is not approving any state plans until appropriation shall be made, but there are representatives of the Federal government available for advice and consultation with interested agencies within the states. Officials and interested persons within a state can be making plans in cooperation with the proper Federal governmental agencies in advance of the appropriations being available.” Other speakers were Claude Mahoney. Indianapolis Star; Mrs. John Engelke, radium drive chairman, and Mrs. H. P. Willwerth, chairman for the radium drive puppet show.

MY DAY By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt

WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON—Today I had the very interesting experience of being allowed to sit in during a discussion of various aspects of our industrial problem in this country. Briefly stated, the problem is of 34,000,000 people who live in towns of less than 10,000 population, ranging from a

few hundreds up. The problem of thes small places is not entirely one of the depression years. There are a number of reasons why the earnings are perhaps not up to what they were 10 or 15 years ago. One reason is that industrial progress has frequently consolidated industry in the larger centers, leaving the people in small towns without a method of obtaining a cash income. In some places the natural resources from which they derived a livelihood have been worked out, but the town still remains. This causes the standards of living and the ability to be a buying power in the large cities to go down. To restore the buying power of these people by

Mrs. Roosevelt

giving them a means of earning a cash income would seem 40 be one of the possible ways in which to develop new markets for increased production. So much for the practical viewpoint. From the point of view of increased happiness and better social conditions, the economic basis is paramount also—therefore this question is many-sided. I was delignted to find that the industrial leaders present attacked the problem not only from the theoretical angle of a future solution, but also from a practical one. They determined to take some individual places and to try to find out through actual experimentation how the problem could be met in a few instances. They realized, of course, that in each case the problem would differ, and the solution would be different. They felt if the interest of the country could be awakened they would open up a vista for anew type of pioneering.
