odist Hospital and Sunnyside Guild Has Fete at Sanitarium.

By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON : To become completely disabused of the idea that hospitals are places where quiet prevails we commend to you a Halloween party at Riley Hospital. For two hours yesterday afternoon the walls of the occupational therapy . shop resounded to the piercing squeaks of long horns, the « foggy tong of short horns and the rhythmic clack of

noisemakers.

The occasion was the Junior League's annual entertainment for the 150 youngsters who came in beds, frames, cripple carts and wheel chairs along with those who have two good legs to carry them. Black cats, witches, owls and pumpkins pasted on the windows, ‘lighted jack-o-lanterns, a paper skeleton dangling in a doorway, green cats and orange witches on the walls proclaimed revelry ahead to all who entered “Hallo-Inn.” Those who could walk pinned the tail on the cat while the others stuck eyes on a jack-o-lantern which made a circuit of the room.

‘Doc, Sleepy, Happy, Dopey, Bashful, Sneezy and Grumpy were shot-

~down in the Snow White and Seven Dwarfs shooting game. Ring tossing was managed from the edge of beds. Everyone tried guessing the number of beans in a jar. One baby, unruffled as a dish of gelatine in a flat calm, napped peacefully in a nurse’s arms.

Cheer Guild Distributes Favors on Trays

Chaos coagulated into semblance of order during the awarding “of prizes, managed during the comparative lull when ice cream pumpkins and cookies in the shape of cats were disappearing. Favors were masks made by the young patients earlier in the week, Mrs. William H. Wemmer, party chairman, was assisted by Miss ‘Josephine: Madden, Junior League Hospital chairman, Mesdames Frederic M. Ayres Jr., Hobson Wilson, R. Michael Fox and Miss Elizabeth Taggart. The Riley Hospital Cheer Guild followed its annual custom of distributing favors on the children’s trays. The White Cross Children’s Cheer Guild entertained young patients in the Methodist Hospital yesterday afternoon with a party in the solarium on the Thomas Taggart Memorial Children’s floor. Sunnyside Guild gave a Halloween party last night for patients at the Marion County Tuberculosis Sanatorium.

Christamore Project Topic at Luncheon

Plans for the Christamore Aid Society’s annual fund-raising project will be discussed at a picnic luncheon meeting today at the Blacksmith Shop at Laurel Hall. Hostesses will be Mesdames Paul R. Matthews, William Coleman Atkins, Ernest Baltzell, Edward E. Gates Jr., Philip Reed and Mrs. Russell W. Johnston. Mr. and Mrs. John B. Stokely will be hosts for the first meeting of the November Players Club committee tonight. Other committee members are Mr. and Mrs. William G. Sparks, chairmen; Mr. and Mrs. William E. Munk and Mr. and Mrs. John Bookwalter.

Self-Portrait Exhibit Opens at Herron

The results of penetrating self-scrutiny by more than i artists are on view at the John Herron Art Museum, where the selfportrait exhibit opened today. The showing of oil, water color, pastel and sculpture portraits, which is to continue through Nov. 13, is part of the local celebration of American Art Week. The canvases reveal wide scope in treatment. Convincing, alive and honest is Kurt Vonnegut’s likeness in blue business suit inscribed jn the manner of Holbein, “Aetatis suae—53—1938.” Constance Forsythe’s water color profile is bordered with a decorated mat with corner motifs suggesting the artist’s fondness for coca-cola, rag dolls, emeralds and mountains. Mary Lowry’s pastel on green paper is done in magazine-cover style with background suggestion in vivid urple. ! P Potable in the exhibit is Marie Goth’s oil portrait in which her black velvet gown is strikingly portrayed against a gold background. Flora Lauter has pictured herself in a rose-colored gown seated beside a marble-topped table on which stands a blue pitcher of flowers. Mrs. Emma Sangernebo, Indiana director of American Art week, is portrayed arranging bright zinnias in a glass bowl against a green background. : Earl Beyer’s reflection is depicted in a rectangular mirror held at arm’s length before a Venetian blind while on the window ledge lie a safety razor and bowl of shaving soap. Barry Wood's clear like ness in dazzling white suit is flanked by shadowy self-studies in different lights and moods. A dramatic background of jagged trees and breaking clouds distinguishes Charles Surendorf’s casual pose in white-striped blue sweater with cigaret drooping from his lips.

Council of Women Will Ask

pa

Further Use of Playgrounds

The recreation committee of the Indianapolis Council of Women will ask for the use of school playgrounds for children after school hours. Mrs. C. D. Vawter, chairman, anounced today at the Council meeting in

Ayres’ Auditorium. ‘She said the Council is attempting to increase the number of wholesome activities “especially in those sections of taprooms and taverns where there are less rooms for meeting places.” Churches also are being asked to co-operate, she said.

H. J. Anslinger, U. S. Commissioner of Narcotics, commended women’s clubs and Parent-Teacher organizations for their educational programs on drugs in an address to the Council.

Others Speak The local council for several years has pledged its support of an antinarcotic educational campaign. Other speakers were the Rev. Ellis

. W. Hay and Mrs. Myron C. Miller

of Anthony, Kas. : Indiana destroyed 5,032.398 acres of marihuana from January through " September of this year, totaling more than 10% tons, said Mr.

Anslinger. The new Marihuana Tax Act of -1937, he explained, requires all persons dealing with the drug in any way to register with the Government and pay a special tax, and restricts the use of marihuana or hemp to industrial, medical and scientific purposes. : Since this legislation went into effect, more than a thousand illicit traffickers have been arrested, he

Urges More Defense

Mrs. Miller, chairman of national defense for the American Legion Auxiliary, appealed for advancement of the national defense program. “It is -regretable that this country, previous to the National Defense Act of 1920, had never had a military policy of any kind,” she said. “We

need more army equipment, more naval and army planes and more air Mrs. Miller declared that the American Legion is “not a militaristic organization merely because it supports the Defense Act—an act providing for our country sufficient defense to protect us in the time of war.” : The Rev. Mr. Hay, pastor of the First Congregational Church, spoke this afternoon following the luncheon on “Why I Believe in America.” «It is not certain that dur democracy has been completely secured in America today,” he said. “Democracy is not so much a political scheme as a moral enterprise.” Speaking of the “stage of conflict, turmoil and upheaval the world is experiencing, considered by many

the Rev. Mr. Hay said that he did not believe in taking a defeatist attitude,

“I believe in America because of individual liberty, both religious and secular,” he said. “I believe in America because of equality of opportunity, social and economic, and because of civic democracy, Federal and local.”

Good for Campus Wear The college miss will like the freedom of movement and the warm coziness afforded by a hiplength, broad-shouldered, boxy coat of natural lambskin. The collarless neckline invites a length of bright scarf, the lining is a gay cotton plaid, the pockets generous. One of those casual garments so perfect for campus wear.
