SATURDAY, FEB. 12, Raising a Family—
Try Turning Off Radio at
Study Time |
Homemade Bedlam No Aid to Concentration, Says Writer.
(Twelfth of a Series)
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
There used to be an advertisement that inquired politely, “What is home without a piano?” Today I am going to amend that to “What is a home with a radio?” Or “When is the house not a house?” Answer, “When someone turns the radio on full blast at 8 a. m. and turns it off only when all the stations go to bed. Mother, can you stand it? Maybe you cannot, but are scarcely aware of the fact. Can your children stand it? Oh yes, remarkably well. They would not be able to eat their oatmeal, get their prepositions or play anagrams unless they had a shag tune to help them munch, study, or play.
Homemade Bedlam
Every home should have a radio, that is true. “Be afraid of what vou miss,” is an excellent motto. Daddy needs his politics and mother her news, and everyone needs fun and music. But the way youngsters live and move and have their being, in some of the domestic boiler shops I know is quite as startling to me as seeing the sideshow chap knitting with his toes. : There isn’t anything pernicious in radio programs today, and I have little to criticize and a whole lot to + say “thank you” for, in their generous entertainment. There IS enough to pick and choose from to suit all tastes. Perhaps some of the thrillers are bad for children, but we haven't too many easily blasted voung ladies in our midst any more. Anyway, it is easy to twist the dial if Suzy begins to talk nights about monsters creeping up in the dark. My idea is that there is too much noise everywhere. And noise everpresent in the house does things to people. How about turning the radio off at study-time, the quiet postprandial hour when peace is a veal asset, so that each member of the family may pursue his study or reading, with nothing to intrude? Sound is unnecessary to concentration, although it seems to be in so many homes.
Conversation Disappears
Junior may be able then to remember his state capitals better, because not only will his whole mind be on one thing, but he won't be trying to surmount subconscious suggestion. It is true that we become reflex in our reaction to a radio turned on all the time and it is merely an accompanying orchestra to our drama. But with it on continually we try to remember our lines under a handicap. Besides, why not budget the voices of the air, with our own? It is nice to talk together once in awhile, without shouting. Just nice ordinary talk about the day’s affairs and tomorrow's plans. Conversation is largely left to debating societies, bridge tables and telephones. Where are the dear old days, when the cat could hear a mouse in the pantry? Gone and indeed forgotten. Mother, dear, I have been a bit caustic, but please understand. We have our own arguments at our house, too. I like Charlie McCarthy, and insist on him at the very instant someone else is all set for a symphony concert, or my husband is bent on hearing Mr. Fixit tell what’s wrong with the world. But one thing I don't allow at our house—the radio turned on full blast all day and all evening. Thus we can save the expense of barring the windows, for I should be the first one out.
NEXT—Just what is discipline?

Today’s Pattern
HIS afternoon and informal evening party frock for young girls has a blouse that is gay and flaring, with tucks for a smooth fit at the waist and cuffs. Sleeves push upward to give a stretched look to
the figure. The separate skirt is a four-gore model that flares prettily at the hem and can be worn with other blouses. For Pattern 8957 is at its best in stiff fabrics such as celanese taffeta or, for very formal wear, starched chiffon. It’ can also be made up in silk or rayon crepe. Its simple lines take well to accessory and jewelry changes. Interesting to those to whom sewing is not a familiar art is the sew chart that accompanies each pattern, telling exactly and with diagrams just how tc proceed. Pattern 8957 is designed for sizes 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 40. Size 14 requires 43 yards of 39-inch material, plus 13% yards ribbon for bow and belt and 12 yards bias fold for bottom of blouse. To obtain 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. Maryland St., Indianapolis. The new spring and summer pattern book, 32 pages of attractive designs for every size and every occasion, is now ready.

Verses not only reflect the new modernity but the design and color as well. Conventional flower groupings and the fussy detail of the old valentines have disappeared. No longer is St. Valentine a respector of tradition. Away with the red and
Mediterranean blue. Unexpected metallic touches are shown with the roses, for memory you know, but in the other hand, Dan Cupid is sure to clutch a more sophisticated offering of orchids and violets. There is nothing stereotyped about this year’s offerings. Cards are ad-
“I'm That Way “To My Darling” and “To a Wonderful Sweetheart on Valentine's Day.” Verses Unabashed This year’s verses come out unabashed with “I Love You,” without the inhibited reticence of the old days. Though affectionate, husband and wife valentines point out faults and failings, usually ending, however, with “I'm glad I can say you are One greeting says: Up to the clerk I walks and sez, “Give me a valentine,” Make it the kind that I can send To a real sweetheart of mine
You, Valentine,”
With beauty and grace and charm, The kind of a gal that looks real swell When she is hanging on your arm. Up speaks the clerk and sadly says, “That gal ain't true to life, Who in the world rates a card like that?” And I answer back “ME WIFE.” Young men about town may begin to wonder if it’s leap year when their Monday mail is delivered. One broadly hints “Hearts are trumps. but a diamond will win me.” This year's comit messages are a long way from the old unkindly ones. Instead, the humor is bright and peppy but never venomous. A poverty-stricken youth announces on one “I may not belong to the Economic Royalty, but I have a high yearning capacity for you.” Two frankfurters declare: “Hot Dog! 1 never sausage a small person as you! And that’s no boloney!” “Secret Pal” cards are the newest innovations. Club members draw names of other members and become their “secret pals,” sending gifts and cards—Valentine’s Day being something of a field day for them. There’s Donald Duck There is Donald Duck and Pluto the Pup for the children’s greetings. Others are practically paper dolls, whose arms, legs and eyes roll realistically. The origin of St. Valentine's Day is ascribed to a certain St. Valentine—perhaps a Roman priest or a | bishop whose festivals fall on Feb. | 14. The sentimental attachment is unexplained. Sorhe scholars prefer to explain the day's connection wijh the Latin | word ‘‘valens,” meaning valiant or gallant. An English dictionary says of the day: “About this time of year the birds chose their mates, and probably from this came the custom of young men and women exchanging greetings.” The first American valentine was made in 1850 by Esther Howland, daughter of a Worcester, Mass. stationer. Many of the old ones were notable for their delicate coloring and microscopic print.

Conserving the Sabbath
Text: Mark 2:23-3:6
By W. E. GILROY, D. D.
USTOMS and even sound principles tend to lose their reality when obedience to them becomes formal and conventional. They tend also in the same way to become and prejudice rather than of vital and intelligent
A distinctive institution of Judain the days o: Jesus was the Sabbath. It was a noble institution based upon a fine conception and a sense of human need. It was the precursor of the Christian Sunday, which many Christians prefer to call the Sabbath, linking it with the Jewish institution rather than with the pagan derivation from which the word “Sunday” comes. There is no doubt whatever that Jesus, as a sincere and devout Jew, highly regarded the Sabbath; but He found this noble institution given over in the minds of many people to purely formal observance, and to mere observance of a sort that utterly disregarded all sense of deeper human need and of higher human values. = » »
HEN He healed a man upon the Sabbath Day, instead of rejoicing that a fellow mortal had found health, the narrow people for whom observance of the Sabbath had become a matter of prejudice and bigotry found fault because the man had been healed on the Sabbath Day. Our lesson tells how the disciples, as they went through the grain fields on the Sabbath Day and were hungry, plucked the ears and began to eat the wheat, just as many of us, when we were boys, have done. With these disciples it was a matter of sheer hunger. Why should they not have taken the food that was near at hand and that required no work of preparation other than rubbing it in the palm of the hand and winnowing it? Yet the bigots complained that these disciples were breaking the Sabbath. ” » »
¥ was under these circumstances that Jesus asserted in the plainest way that “the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.” That is a principle that we might establish and practice in the whole range of customs and observances.

School Lesson
become exalted to a place where they supplant human values and human needs, it is time to protest in the name of humanity, and it 8 sound to protest in the name of God. In our modern world, of course, the whole matter is in a measure reversed. We tend today to have | Jost all sense of sanctity concerning a day of rest, to say nothing of the Jewish or Christian Sabbath.
n »
T will be recognized that in our modern complex world it would be impossible to arrange everything on a basis of old-fashioned or strict observance of Sunday. It would mean that vast numbers of people would be subjected to great inconvenience, and possibly even to hunger and distress. We could not stop and paralyze our whole mechanism of life at a certain hour on Saturday evening. Nevertheless, it is not for the good of humanity or for the world that we have so far abandoned the possible observance of Sunday as a day of rest, and above all, the spirit of the institution. If Jesus were in our cities today, I think possibly He might put the emphasis on a different place. We might think m as saying, “The Sabbath was e for man. Why doesn’t man make better use of it?”
