Four Win Praise of 2 ien With Whom They Work in Handling Civic Duties Feminine Leaders Have Words for Their Ideas But Don’t Insist Upon Prerogative of Having Final Say. BY BEATRICE BURGAN Society Editor INDIANAPOLIS women in public office have words for their ideas. But the men with whom they work admit they don’t insist upon the woman’s prerogative to have the last word. So intelligently have four women entered into their official duties lhat masculine co-workers frankly acknowledge it has been a pleasure to profit by their suggestions. i •

Mrs. Clayton Ridge, only woman on the school board, has made studies of the housing situation

which have been invaluable to the board. “Asa woman, naturally I have observed the housing problems from a ‘housekeeping’ itandpoint. I probably have noted inconve n i e n c e s and inadequacies, which a man would overlook," Mrs. Ridge explains.

Miss Burgan

Without instruction from the board, she has made frequent visits to schools, and can point out buildings which need enlarging. The men are grateful for her investigations and listen to her reports with interest. Mrs. Ridge is vehement in contending that new east and south side high schools are needed. ‘ Strictly speaking, Technical and Manual aren’t east and south side institutions, because they are too centrally situated and don't serve boys and girls who live far out," she declares. She long has taken part in Par-ent-Teacher work activities, and as a worker listens to many confidences. Women go to her with problems which they would hesitate to reveal to a man. Mrs. Ridge is interested in character building and citizenship training. She believes children are instructed in the fundamentals, but wonders if teachers and parents insist, that the training be put into effect. In talks befbre junior high schools, she emphasizes the effect it has upon children's lives. p tt n Mrs. Nannette Dowd, lone woman in the City Council, has a mind of her own, but is kind and firm. Dr. Silas Carr, who is on many committees with Mrs. Dowd, describes her that way. "She works with us, but not for us." he said in an aside. "She doesn't follow unless she believes.” Mrs. Dowd is the parks committee chairman, and with spring approaching is to find her duties increasing. To her a boulevard is more than just a street and can become a vital part of our lives if beautified. Asa safety committee member. Mrs. Dowd aided in the renovation of the market house.

Mrs. Louis Markun, recently appointed to the park board, already has made her presence felt. Her welfare work with the American Legion auxiliary has intensified her civic pride. She also worked on the state committee for the Legion's Knightstown Home for Children. This experience served as a preparation for | her new work in the board's recreation department. Mrs. Markun has worked with board members in studying the i playground setup, and favors using school grounds for recreation cen- j iers when feasible. The board later this month is to co-operate with women's garden j clubs in a tree planting campaign. Mrs. Markun is expected to be especially efficient in creating interest j in a beautification program. Charles Sallee, board superintendent. welcomes the “woman’s angle" j to Mrs. Markun's suggestions. a a a Rep. Roberta West Nicholson, as the only woman in the House at special session of the legislature, ! definitely opposes consideration of more than the Serial Securities Act. She heralds the bill as an advance in the administration of social service. "Its chief advantage is to be the extension of child welfare work in rural sectious. heretofore neglected," Mrs. Nicholson said. Her activity in child welfare work for the League of Women Voters and the Council of Social Agencies has added impetus to her interest in the bill. Mrs. Nicholson proved her ability at the last regular session when her "heartbalm" bill was passed. The measure since has served as a pattern for similar ones in other states.

Club Is to Hear Speech I George Weymouth. Indianapolis newspaper man and publisher, is to address a meeting of the Woman's Press Club of Indiana Tuesday at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. Mr. Weymouth formerly published Farm Life at Spencer and at present is writing editorials and assisting with the publication of Farmer’s Guide. He is the father of Margaret Weymouth Jackson, Hoosier novelist. In addition to the regular monthly program meetings, the club members are to meet informally for luncheon on the fourth Tuesday of each month at the Washington. DANCING IS TO FOLLOW RECITAL Following the Indianapolis Maennerchor’s concert Monday night, members and guests are invited to attend a dance in the kneipe and concert hall. Eulah Cornor, contralto, and Mari caret Lagerquist. pianist, are to pre- ! sent the season’s third concert.

BIG PROBLEM Business sometimes needs to regulated. Even Orchard School pupils agree on that. But what puzzles them is whether a Better Business Burueau is advisable for 11 moneymaking projects carried on by individuals, partnerships and corporations at the school. The problem was discussed today at a meeting of the School’s Town Hall, following a French play by fifth and sixth grade pupils. Madame Adele Robert, French teacher, directed the play, which had musical accompaniment by a children's chorus under direction of Miss Frances Allen. Stage properties were made in the school shop, with the assistance of Herbert Sweet.

UNRUH TALKS TO P.-T. A. GROUP Peace can not come to any nation until it comes to all nations, because of interdependence, E. J. Unruh. State Council of International Relations secretary, believes. Speaking before the ParentTeacher Association at School 76 last aight, Mr. Unruh fisted 12 steps necessary to insure international peace. They included solution of problems through an international agency; membership of the United States in the Permanent Court of International Justice; control and limitation of armaments; keeping of treaty obligations; peaceful settlement of international disputes; improvement of living conditions; stabilization of currencies and currency exchanges. Other steps listed were: Settlement of inter-governmental debts; removal of trade barriers; promotion of confidence between nations; improvement of international trade, and stimulation of industry, comI merce and employment.

MY DAY

By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt

HOUSE, WASHINGTON—I had my first ride in T weeks this morning and it certainly was a grand feeling to be out in the air and to see the river entirely free from ice. Overhead the big blimp was out with a long advertising

trailer. I rather like its silver appearance in the sky, but I prefer it a good distance away. When it descends so closely that you think its motors will bring it down on top of you at-any moment, I am not quite so fond of it. There is a great deal of argument about the Washington airport, which I have not passed for a long while. This morning I saw one of the big planes in a corner far away from its usual takingofT place. For a moment I thought it was bogged in the mud, but it got started rather painfully and. I hope, took on safely. J have no fear of flying, but I do think we

jjijw

Mrs. Roosevelt

should make our airports as safe as possible. Where feasible we should use only such fields as are under rigid inspection, whether they are government owned, or belong to private concerns or individuals. The Baron de la Grange, a Frenchman and an old friend of ours, said at dinner last night that he felt aviation was going to mean as much to the future of the world as printing, or any of the big discoveries which have really changed civilization. I agree with him, for great distances are shattered with every new airplane route. He spoke of the regular trip which is made down the coast of Africa and across to South America. One leaves on schedule, arrives on schedule. When you remember the newspaper publicity with which we heralded the first trip of the Clipper ship, I will confess that I was surprised to note a little item on an inside page of a newspaper a few days ago saying "The Clipper to the Philippines left today." Soon that trip will not be a matter of comment, and China will be nearer than Europe. A large luncheon today at which Mrs. Hull was my co-hostess across the table, and tonight the dinner given annually by the Cabinet to the President.
