Monotony Blamed for

Husband and Wife Should Go on Trips Together, Jane Says.

Put vour problems in a letter to Jane Jordan, who will answer your questions in this daily column.

PEAR JANE JORDAN--What to do when a husband and wife need a vacation away from each other and there is no money to go to an

expensive summer resort? | We have been married three years | and have a darling little girl 18 | months old. I couldn't possibly live | without my husband or he without | me for we love each other dearly. | He is wonderful to me, helps with the housework as I am not very strong, even tells me to lie in bed in the morning while he gets his own breakfast. I won't do this, however, because I am not really ill and it isnt essary. I am just trying to tell how good and kind he is and I try to be just as sweet in return. Nevers theless, when & boy and & girl, for we are only children, live together for three years they finally begin to get on each other's nerves. By the time we meet our expenses there is no money left for a Vacation for either of us. I have a greataunt in Ohio whom I am sure would be glad to have me come to visit her, but I haven't seen her for several years and hesitate to invite myself. I don’t want to impose on her just because she is hospitable. What would you suggest? Your advice will be appreciated, for I have confidence in you.

you

JOAN. ANSWER—You could write your | aunt and tell her you want to come | for a short time, but to feel per- | fectly free to tell you if it isn't convenient. Make it easy for her to refuse by saying that if she can't have you this summer, perhaps next will be better. If your letter is diplomatically worded, she can postpone your visit without embarrass ment. If you go vou can feel sure you're welcome but be sure to make your visit short. Few people are equipped to entertain guests for long at a time. In case this fails you might try week-ends away from each other. One could stay home with the baby while the other went away and vice versa. Even if you only stayed with a girl friend and your husband went fishing with some men, it would be a change for you both. Sometimes people get on each other’s nerves not so much becavse they need a vacation from each other as because there isn't sufficient change in their lives to give them something different to think about. One day is just like | every other day. Nothing ever happens and they don't know how to make it happen. Finally they begin to snap at each other. You and your husband need good | times together as well as apart. | Can't you leave the baby with some- | one and spend a week-end camping | out? There are inexpensive places | to go like the State parks where you | could have a day or so away from home without spending much | money. | Picnics aren't expensive. There are various outings you could plan | with your friends that would cost! very little but provide diversion. One | doesn't always have to go away | from home for refreshment though | 8 trip is a great pleasure, of course. Resourceful people can find things to do at home which relieve their | boredom and change their mental | pictures. A little money plus a big | imagination has resulted in many | good times

Silver Helped By Careful Use

Far from usage marring sterling silverware, experts now agree that silver which has received millions of tiny scratches from daily use actually has a durable and practical finish that it would otherwise lack. To prove this, they point with pride to priceless antique silver, handed down from colonial days and more beautiful now than it was then. Naturally, precious silver shouldn't be thrown about in the sink or, after a meal, left standing dirty overnight. Simply wash with hot, soapy water, rinse carefully and dry with a soft cloth. In case some of the pieces are highly ornate, go over these with a bit of silver polish before you put them away.

Beer Jackets Win Scholastic Favor

The beer jacket, long a senior class precommencement uniform at Princeton, has attracted fad-hun-gry youngsters at high schools. The girls have taken to the fad, too, and you see almost as many at Wellesley as at Princeton. You'll know a beer jacket when you see one by the fact that it is a very loose-fitting single-breasted coat of cotton or canvas, with large patch pockets and buttons in the shape of beer barrels or mugs. Students waste as little time as possible in getting them covered with a collec tion of scribbled wise cracks, autographs of pals and campus bigshots and sketches by budding cartoonists. And it is a mortal beerjacket sin to ever have the garment

washed. ”

Freedom in Sports Clothes Brightens Current Holidays

By MARIAN YOUNG NEA Service Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. July 5—TIt's the sweet land of liberty for us girls this Fourth of July season. Fashion in sports clothes is letting freedom ring

as nobly as from any mountaintop in the fair

republic. Our elder

feminist sisters, when they were battling so bravely for the vote and women’s rights in general, never imagined such perfect physical freedom as exists in the action backs, pleated skirts, slide fasteners now available for

golf, tennis, and play togs.

Nor the even greater sartorial freedom these

clothes allow for accessories and summery gadgets of all kinds.

Today’s Pattern

INCE one of the world’s greatest news personages has expressed herself unequivocably in favor of simply ‘tailored clothes—women everywhere are looking for clothes that have simplicity of line combined with accepted chic. You'll find such a dress in pattern 8003 with simply draped bodice and short puffed sleeves. The only dramatic touch in this design is & collar and sash in contrasting fabric—we show it here in smart, polka dot print. The skirt is darted at the hip in back to give it a smooth line, but has a comfortable kick pleat at center front. A beginner can make this dress with confidence. Pattern includes a step-by-step sew chart. Designed in sizes 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20. Size 14 requires 3% yards of 35-inch material, plus 1% yards of contrasting (cut on the bias) for tie belt and upper collar. The plain under collar (cut on the bias) requires 1% yard of 85-inch material. To obtain a pattern and STEP-BY-STEP SEWING INSTRUCTTONS inclose 15 cents in coin t0gether with the above pattern number and your size, your name and address, and mail to Pattern Editor, The Indianapolis Times, Maryland St., Indianapolis.

Thought Control Considered Best Means to Sleep

By ALICIA HART (NEA Service Stat Writer)

Health, experts agree, is the fundamental of true beauty. One who is physically sound and whose sleeping, eating and exercise habits are good is certain to have smooth skin, shiny hair and a supple, buoyant figure, Sleep and rest are all important, of course. Nothing makes eyes more sparkling, skin smoother and hair prettier than regular sleeping habits. It is quite necessary for each and every person to allow adequate time for sleep, then to figure out a way to get calm, restful sleep during this period. “Thought control offers the best means of shunting the mind from disturbing thoughts into calming and quieting channels which prepare the way for sleep,” says Jerome W. Ephraim in his health and beauty book, “Take Care of Yourself.” ; Mr. Ephraim then lists a few tricks which various people have found to be useful in curing temporary insomnia. Here are some of them: Listening to imaginary rain falling on a tin roof. Naming the counties of Ireland, or the presidents of the United States. Painting large imaginary 3s extremely slow on a large black wall with an imaginary brush and a tin of white paint, Mr. Ephraim says this one is cited on the authority of an eminent physician, who is of the opinion that anybody who paints three of these 3s in this very slow manner will find it virtually impossible to keep awake. Focusing the mind’s eye on a circle of darkness, meanwhile keeping out all intruding thoughts. A difficult task, but said to be highly rewarding to those who can master it.

Wrinkle-less, Cool Frock for Outings

Sees Thrift As Problem For Family

Writer Declares Parents Should Teach Art Of Saving by Example.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON It is pretty hard to teach children thrift when every copper in the pocket is precious. Many parents cannot give their children an allowance, however small. But has it ever occurred to us that this very experience teaches much in itself? In an atmosphere of forever scraping for nickels and dimes the child learns the real meaning of money. I think it is the heedless family, the extravagant one and the let’s-be-merry-today home where holes burn in every pocket and small change is treated without reverence, that has a job ahead of it teaching little Henry conservatism. Perhaps he doesn't know that his daddy does without lunch to buy cigarets or his mother without new tea towels to buy lipstick. But he does see the cigarets and the lipstick and to his small mind they are both foolish things.

Evaluation May Be Slow Parents have the right to buy what they want and need, with

out the approval of the small fry, of course. But my point is that little folk may be slow in evaluating money as long as the other members of the family spend it i things these tots THINK foolsn. Actually, T have found that the theory of the weekly stipend for a child, say 25 cents, 10 to put in his bank and 15 to lay out on candy or movies, has not proved the wonder it promised. In some cases, yes. But money in the bank, abe stract money, that is, doesn’t seem to impress a boy or girl the way it should. It may rattle pleasantly and he may simply not be able to contain himself for joy when he hears he has almost enough to go in the big bank next Saturday. But mostly he is indifferent, I think.

It's Reserve Bank

If the idea is consistently carried out to a pre-planned point much good may result, This I concede. But after a month or two the paymaster may lose interest. Henry's bank is the last to get fed. Not only this, but when two and two don't make five for the milkman, his bank too often makes up the deficit, If everything has worked out successfully and his china pig has had its regular rations, has not been turned upside down too often to disgorge his feed and is prized by his owner as a real treasure, I earnestly plead that Porky be allowed to continue as a real entity for good in Henry's life.

Family Must Be Example

The value of the bank is indisputable when other things are favorable and work in conjunction. But the bank alone is not enough. There must be a general attitude of thrift in family life, and a seriousness about spending and saving, if Henry is to be a save-thrift instead of a spendthrift. Why make him the goat and explain the virtue of keeping an ace in the hole, or an umbrella for a wet day, when the rest of the family never thinks of putting a dime away?

White Flowers Help Any Room

White flowers give & room a crisplooking, cool, summery air. Try white gladiolas in a crystal vase, giant peonies in & pale rose one which blends with the spots of rosered in their centers or lovely dead white snap dragons in a gleaming blue crystal bowl. White rose buds with long slender green stems give any room a de luxe appearance, regardless of the season. White roses are to a summer room what caviar is to the canapes. If your budget is more limited than your taste and imagination, you can work out charming effects with white daisies, geraniums or petunias.

Both Holidays Mean Fireworks

In Hawai, Visitor Here Asserts

By MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS

Christmas and Fourth of July

A great show of fireworks is tropical country where she lives. “Turkey, dressing and cranberry sauce are as out of season on Christmas in Honolulu as they are in Indianapolis on Independence Day,” she says. “So we celebrate both big days with a boom of cannon crackers!” Miss Lanham, who is spending the summer with her grandmother, Mrs. James Lanham, 315 N. Walcott St., approves of the climate variations in the ~States, although she shivered a bit during the recent cold streak here. In all of her 16 years Miss Lanham has been here to visit her grandmother only once, at the age of four.

Movie Stars Familiar

When she arrived in San Francisco June 5 from Honolulu on the 8S. 8. Lurline she walked the same gangplank with Robert Taylor, the | movie idol. “He had gone to Honolulu to get away from it all,” she explained. “But, it seems, when he arrived there he found more people clamoring after him than he had left behind in Hollywood. So after two days spent in the tropics he made a right-about-face and returned to the movie colony.”

celebrations are one and the same

thing to Miss Eloise Lanham, visiting here from Honolulu.

the order of both holidays in the

cinema actors and actresses, Miss Lanham reports. Bing Orosby was one among them who used to bicycle past the Lanham home every day for a few weeks last summer, she said. Wins Scholarship

Miss Lanham was the one lucky girl from Honolulu who was awarded a scholarship to Southern College, Petersburg, Va, this year, and she is to enroll in the fall Before the school season Tolls around she plans to visit a pen friend who also has the name of Lanham. Miss Dorothy IL.anham, West Virginia, has invited her correspondent to he her guest. Eloise

saw Dorothy's name in a U. 8. newspaper one day several years ago and the letter-writing started. Today Miss Lanham is spending her first Fourth of July in this country at Bass Lake. She was accompanied there by her cousin, Richard Sprague, Jr, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Sprague, Golden Hill, . . . and she hopes that this trip will bear out the truth of those Honolulu fishing-prowess stories

Blackberry Roll Sauce Is

For easier going, try blackberry

Blackberry Roll (8 servings) One and one-half quarts blackberries, % cup sugar, % cup brown | sugar, 114 tablespoons butter, biscuit dough. Combine berries and sugar and stand 15 minutes. Lightly roll out dough to 14 inch thickness, and keep it in oblong shape. Spread the sweetened berries over the spreadout dough. Dot with butter, Curl up a little of the dough around the

from rolling out. Then roll up the dough. Use a well-buttered shallow | baking dish. Place the roll in it. Bake in hot oven (400 degrees F.) for % hour, basting frequently with the berry juice which oozes out. While still warm, serve from the dish with hard sauce,

Fluffy Hard Sauce

One-third cup butter (use sweet butter if. possible), 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon brandy or 2 teaspoons vanilla, Oream the butter, then beat until very fluffy, A little at a time, work in the powdered sugar, beating steadily until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the flavoring a little at a time, beating it in. Blackberries need well dererved care in handling. Don't wash them until you are ready to use them, Then place them in a colander in the refrigerator where the air can circulate around them. In making berry pies, remember that the crust should be sufficiently deep to prevent overflowing of the Juices, A couple of pieces of uncooked macaroni in the center of the pie will induce the juice to

bubble up through it. Remove the macaroni after the cooking period. Prevents Soaking A prebaked undercrust done to a very pale brown will prevent the soaking of the crust. This undercrust should not be pierced in the cooking. To prevent crust bubbles, lay another pie tin on top of the crust while baking. Another way to prevent undue juiciness is to heat the berries about 3 minutes, long enough to start the flow of juices. Then pour off the juice and thicken it slightly when cool enough. Turn the berries about three minutes, long ened juice and put the mixture into the pie crust, Use flour for thickening if berries are very acid, other wise use cornstarch, A final word on they are the “berries” lings.

MONDAY, JULY 5, 1987 Danger Seen

In Reducing With Drugs

Starvation Diet Also Held Harmful Way to Take Off Weight.

By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor American Medical Association Journal.

80 much harm was done to peopla who endeavored to reduce their weights with dinitrophenol without adequate control that there exists throughout the United States today a definite apprehension of reducing weight by taking drugs of various kinds. Many of the proprietary weight reducing remedies contain innoecs vous herbs and weeds which are of little importance. Some con= ‘tain. thyroid extract which should never be taken except under the advice of a doctor and only with a carefully controlled test of metas bolism at the same time. For a person whose thyroid gland is efficient in relationship te the functions of his body, the taking of thyroid extract is a menace to life and health. Drug Ts Dangerous

Dinitrophenol has been found exw ceedingly dangerous, since it pros duces cataracts in the eyes of som#® people. It does have the power of stimulating the burning of calories in the body, but it is questionabls whether anyone ought to take the chance of reducing weight by such technics. Bome people promote the starvas tion diet as a means of weight rew duction. The chief danger of stars vation diets is their failure to supw ply the body with the necessary vitamins and mineral salts, with tha result that resistance to disease iM definitely lowered and the blood ime poverished. The same applies to all of the one=sided diets which depend on the eating of a single gubstance or one or two substances per day. The hu= man body does best with a well bal« anced diet. It is quite possible, as will be meen from the menus als ready published, to eat a wide vas riety of foods and still to keep tha calories well below the amount for maintaining or even for decreasing

weight, Milk “Cure” Useful |

[ The milk cure is useful when uns | det medical control. On the other hand, the stomach and the intess tines require a certain amount of activity in order to maintain their tone. A fluid diet results eventuals ly in harm to these organs. Most dangerous of all perhaps are those symptoms of weight res duction which depend on constant frritation of the intestional tract by the taking of strong eathartics, Balts are prescribed each moins ing and phenolphhthalein or vege= table catharties at night so as to keep the bowels constantly in acs tion so that the food does not hava time to be absorbed. Such diet may produce an irris tation or secondary infection with a resulting chronic inflammation which may be impossible to cure.

Solution to Previous Problem By WILLIAM E. M'KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary OUBTFUL grand slam contracts are rightly condemned, because they risk too much to gain little. Much better a fulfilled small slam

grand slam, and later a lost rubber.

However, closely bid hands present the most interesting problems, because they often require the ute most precision in the line of play adopted. Today's hand is a fine example of a close grand slam bid. It was played in a rubber game at the Whist Olub of the Oranges, East Orange, N. J, by Walter Buswell, who will be one of the officials at the coming National tournament at Asbury Park, the week of Aug. 2. Of course, North had an enor mous hand, opposite an opening bid, but a conservative player would have been content with the small slam. North, however, had confidence in Buswell, who sat South, and went the limit, The first trick was won with the &ace of hearts. Three rounds of trump were followed by five rounds of clubs, and then declarer, seeing that the hand could be made only if West held the king and queen of diamonds as well as the heart honors, led his last two trumps.
