Girl Doesn't Enjoy Life As Much as She'd Like To.
Jane Jordan will help you with your ‘E
problems by her answers to your questions in this column.
DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I am a girl of 19, considered good looking, welldressed and well-respected. But I am just someone different, or so.I am told by both
boys and girls and even older people. I don’t smoke or drink and there is one thing I detest; it is jealousy. I know that I shouldn't feel the way I do, but I really seem to get very little enjoyment out of life. I dén’t care to go places, especially on dates. It seems that there are few.decent places to go and few decent people to go with. There are two nice boys in our neighborhood who want to go with me but they are afraid to ask for fear I'll refuse them, and I think I would. Since October I have been going with a boy whom I think has sown some wild oats. He drinks at the pres-
ent but he really does treat me very nice ang I like being with him, I don’t know what my friends think of me for selecting this type of person to chum with, because there are so few boys I will date. ' He is a Catholic and I am not, but I never think of this. Am I just down on the world, or what? I really want to get a new start at having a little fun so what can I do? PUZZLED. ANSWER—I would have to know you a lot better than I do to discover the cause for your discontent. In some manner you have come to expect more of life than it has to offer. In other words you haven't . a good grip on reality or a sound understanding of human nature, which you insist should be better than it is’/in fact. Sometimes this happens to a child very much coddled in infancy who is displaced by a younger brother or sister; some“imes it happens to an only child who discovers that the outside world isn’t as interested in its welfare and comfort as the family is. . This I know: You aren’t as interested in other people as you _ are in yourself, Of course, no- . body is, in the last analysis. But the well-adjusted person has learned to knit his life to the lives of others sufficiently to feel significant and useful in the world. He has learned to say “we” instead of “I.” He does not excuse his lack of interest by believing that others are unworthy of it. What do you mean by “decent” and if people aren’t decent, why are they indecent? You haven't the inquiring attitude of mind which makes life interesting, exhilarating. One thing is hopeful. You want to be different. You want to make a new start and have fun. It has dawned on you that there is something wrong with your attitude and that others are getting more satisfaction out of living than you are. You can start over. Get a job. Succeed at something, no matter how small. Everyone craves a feeling of importance, a conviction of personal worth. It does not come without effort. He who is engaged in an interesting occupation, who is using his powers to good advantage, who is filling a useful niche in the world, has the respect of his {fellows and himself, Beneath your contempt for others is-a feeling of insecurity. You must somehow feel inadequate to
yourself aloof, claiming superiority to your environment. Turn ‘ your thoughts outward to other people; join in their interests and activities. If you understand people you will not be down on them. If you are a useful’ member of society you will not be down on the world. JANE JORDAN.

: BY WALTER C. PARKES NEW YORK, Jan. 13.—(NEA)—The one who plans to join the annual exodus from the cold, gray North to the carefree Southern lands where the sun-tan oil flows in gushers or even the one going to more prosaic places, will probably need some new luggage. :
Modern ‘luggage differs from the old-fashioned kind on two principal counts—style and convenience. You can get bags today large enough to hold all you need and yet remain comparatively light in weight. And they are handsome as all get-out in smart-looking fabrics and a large variety of leathers ranging from standard cowhide through rawhide to alligator navy blue and the new yellowish color, about the shade of parched corn. Caution: Don’t try to buy those last two with loot from the baby’s dime bank.
Consider Convenience
Convenience is the first considerin selecting - luggage. For
bags rather than a bag and a trunk. Even a small trunk is a nuisance for a less than a three-month trip. There’s a new pullman case that comes in sizes to hold one to five suits. : : ‘The suits are on hangers, hanging the way they would over a tailor’s arm, and emerge at the end of the trip in wearable shape. The
Today’s Pattern
HIS chic, time-saving frock (No. 8890) buttons all the way down the front. Sleeves may be either the short pleated style or long with inverted pleats in bishop style, finished with a neat cuff. The inverted pockets on the blouse are convenient as well as decorative. Make it in printed or plain silk, linen or cotton fabric or jersey. Patterns are sized 14 to 20; 32 to 44 bust. Size 16 requires 4% yards of 39 inch material with short sleeves. With long sleeves 43% yards is required. : To secure a PATTERN and STEP-BY-STEP SEWING INSTRUCTIONS, inclose 15 cents in coin together with the above pattern number and your size, your name and address, and mail to Pattern Editor, The Indianapolis Times, 214 W.

hangers are removable singly, or the whole gadget can be removed to hang in the closet of stateroom or hotel. The three-suit model is small enough (29x19x9) to slide easily under a Pullman seat. If you have a large carry-all case, it's a good idea to have a smaller one too, to hold immediate essentials, such as would be needed for one night ashore from a cruise ship. The 21x13x7 ‘overnight case is a good size. You can get these in finishes to match the larger cases. "Other Luggage Helpful In addition to suit cases thefe are a number of other pieces of luggage and travel accessories that come in handy. The Southbound executive who expects to combine a business visit with his vacation will find very useful a combination overnight kit that is no larger than a brief-case. It is a small suit case with a large bellowsed back, into which go lawyer’s briefs and million-dollar contracts. (The latter don’t come with the case.) Many men who head for Southern beaches or Caribbean resorts expect to indulge in their favorite sport.

There's a new tennis gladstone tor would-be Tildens. It is made of strong cowhide, saddle-stitched, and holds two rackets and presses. The racket holders are removable so that if one is carried the space is “available for clothes or etceteras.
New Golf Bags A golf bag is another item to think These of course come in all sizes and all degrees of elaborateness. Elaborate no end is a handsome new one that seems to have everything but a phonograph attachment to yell “Fore!” When not in use, the large zippered hood forms a convenient bag for duffle. On the back of the case is a removable pocket for shoes, while the front has a zippered ball pocket which holds an identification tag. A side rack holds a golf umbrella. Passport cases are quite necessary for some trips. These come in a number of different models, most of them opening like a book, with the passport one one side and compartments for landing card, tickets and baggage checks on the other. Some have special tabbed .compartmeénts for pounds, marks and francs. Another has an excellent idea in a transparent - cover which permits the passport to be shown without

Solution to Previous Contract Problem
By WILLIAM E. M’KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary
OT nearly enough bridge players have mastered the fine art of discarding a high. card. Hundreds of contracts are made daily by declarers because one of the defending players cherished a king, a queen, or a jack so highly that he blocked the suit, thus preventing his partner from running tricks enough to defeat the contract. : Today’s hand is an example of this type of play. West liked the looks of his picture in diamonds so much that he gave Seuth a contract which should have been defeated. All West had to do was to pave the way to a needed entry in his partner’s hand by drepping his honor on the first lead of the suit. : Although East had a strong-look-ing hand, as shown by his overcall at the range of two, he alone coyld not carry the bidding any higher. South permitted East to win the first trick with the ten, but won the king of spades, which was reSurned, with the ace. Then .he pulled two rounds of trump. Declarer could count nine tricks —one spade, one club, one “diamond, and six hearts. His only hope for the tenth trick was in the diamond suit. However, to win twe tricks there, or rather lose not more than one, he had to pave the way by eliminating the other®suits. South led the king of clubs, East

won and returned another spade, which South ruffed. He took the queen of clubs trick, then led a small heart, winning in dummy, and played a small diamond. This declarer won with the king, West playing the deuce. . South now returned a diamond, and when West's jack went up he played a low diamond from dummy. West, with only, clubs left in his hand, was forced to lead one and permit declarer to discard his last diamond, while dummy ruffed. Just as an afterthought} East, too, could have saved the situation by returning a club instead of the
third spade. - (Copyright, 1937. NEA Service. Inc.)

Prohibitions Teach Child,
Use of Word ‘Don’t’ ‘Held Essential Despite . Objections.
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
It+is almost impossible to refrain from saying “don’t” to children. I order to impress upon the pare the futility of over-using the word, many have gotten the idea that it is criminal to say it at all. But when Mary is reaching for the icepick to jab through the screen, what else is there to say? Nothing, that I can see. Substitution is all right, and has its place, but suppose there is nothing handy to give Mary, to divert her thoughts, or anything else that Mary wishes to do at the time. She has to be told to desist. And “don’t touch that,” seems to be as good as anything. Explanation may be added and reasons advanced to 3-year-old Mary about danger and destructiveness. But she is not impressed with reasons much. All she wants to know is whether she can have the pick, or whether she can't. I think that parents are leanihg too far backward today about this little forbidden word of the psychologists.
Part of Lesson
True, children should be trained as far as possible in the knowledge of what is permitted and what is not, but this takes time, and in the experimental stage direct prohibition is part of the lesson. It is the same with other matters concerning the conditioning of children. . “You mustn't say don’t,” advise the psychologists, and you must set a perfect example. Very well, let us examine this, too. Mother takes a short cut over the snowy lawn to get some sugar from Mrs. Smith. Mary sees her and half an hour later out she trudges in the deep snow. Her mother feels that she cannot remind her about the forbidden drifts that wet her clothes, because she herself has done thas very thing and her child saw er. Mary’s mother had to cut across, because she needed the sugar at once, so quickly indeed, that she could not go round by the walk. It was either that or ruined food. Can she turn about and tell Mary that she is not allowed to play in the deep snow? Why, certainly. And she can also say, “Yes, Mommy can go, but you can’t. See, I am a big lady. Little girls cannot do things that ladies can.”
Exceptions to Right Example
I believe in example as the strongest factor of conditioning the child to correct behavior, right values, politeness and all the rest. But the family must be made to understand also that exceptions are permissible in the case of parents, when it is the best thing to do, in their judgment. Hard and fast rules of child training must not become too pedantic. Moreover they were never intended to - discourage. We must have a standard to work from, and toward, and psychological tenets are a guide. But when applied too strictly by letter instead of spirit, they become wooden and inelastic. Nothing can replace good sound judgment. We should not say “don’t” until it becomes a monotonous singsong. We must try also to live so that our children, who unconsciously emulate us, will benefit. Otherwise we must do the best we can. (Copyright. 1937, NEA Service, Inc.)

John ycakes Fit Emergency; They Are Very Delicious, Too
‘a batch of Johnnycake and any little insufficiency in other things will never be noticed.
Johnnycake
One cup yellow cornmeal, 1% cup flour, 1% teaspoons baking powder, 1, teaspoon salt. 2 eggs, well beaten, 1, cup milk, 4 tablespoons butter (or other fat) melted. Mix and sift dry ingredients. Combine well beaten eggs and milk. Stir into dry mixture. Stir in melted shortening. Grease a pan 2 inches deep a 9 inches square, Pour in batter, spreading about 3. inch thick. Bake in hot oven (425 degrees F.) for about 25 minutes.
Yield 12 Portions
For breakfast with syrup and bacon, for luncheon with creamed fish or vegetables, for dinner cut in narrow strips with ‘butter—oh, yes— Johnnycake knows its way around the dining room table.
Quick Corn Pone
2 cups white cornmeal 11, tablespoons lard or bacon drippings, melted 1 teaspoon salt 3 cup boiling water and milk to soften.
In a bowl, place cornmeal. Add salt and mix, then boiling water. Mix well, then add melted fat. Stir until fat is evenly distributed, then add enough milk to make a reasonably soft dough, but not so soft as to lose its “hold-to-gether.” Using
inches in diameter, and about 3 inch thick. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake in moderately hot oven (375 degrees F.) until cakes are golden brown. Yield four to servings.
Season Tends to Color
The tendency is for more exotic and striking prints this season. Brilliantly colored designs in large bouquet arrangements on black, navy or white grounds are newer and smarter than the small,sgay yet conservative floral patte in pas-
tel shades.

Remo Poulsen to Give Demonstrations Here ‘Tomorrow.
By MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS
If you can play Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in C Sharp Minor the chances are youre a good typist. Nimble fingers that swing in rhythm
fast and accurately on typewriter
keys. We learned about piano lessons as means of typewriting training today when we took dictation from Miss Remo Poulsen, New York, the worid’s amateur champion typist. She is here to give typing demonstrations at 11 a. m. and 2 ». m. tomorrow in the William H. Block Co, auditorium. She believes that her 10 years’ study of the piano was a distinct benefit in muscle co-ordination,
applied to speed in typing. “Fingers should hug the typewriter keys,” according to this typing expert. “Time and energy are lost by lifting the fingers high.” She considers rhythm the founda tion upon which speed depends. Miss Poulsen typed 121 five-stroke words a minute for one hour to win her title in a recent speed typing contest held in Toronto, Ont. She goes into strict training for speed contests. No late hours, rich pase tries or strenuous exercise. Roast beef and broiled steaks are her favorite foods. She has to refuse all invitations to join in bowling matches or tennis games, as these activities have a tendency to stiffen the fingers. Miss Poulsen would like to win the international typists’ champions ship meet in which she is to compete next summer. A man now holds this title. Women reputedly talk faster than men. Miss Poulsen is out to prove that they can type faster.
