GREAT deal has been accomplished in reducing the num- | [ber of deaths of babies under one ti |year of age, but this has been done largely after the first perilous month of life. Deaths in the first month still remain unduly high. If we are to make further prog-|-ress in the reduction of infant mortality we must attack the causes which lie back of the earlier deaths. This is largely a matter of good preratal and obstetric care. The leading cause of death in the first year is prematurity. Premature infants are considered

Code Hoover's investigation of subversive activities was commended by the clubwomen in another resolution. A small group of individuals has condemned and criticized the Bureau for “violating constitutional rights of the in‘dividual,” the resolution said. The resolution said that the clubwomen believe those criticisms to be unwarranted and untrue and that they expressed full confidence in him and his representatives. The Federation will ask the Marfon County Council to appoint a nurse for the Juvenile Detention Home immediately. The district board earlier had requested the appointment. The district delegates this morning added the “immedi-

Urges Soil Preservation

< “We must see that plant foods are returned to the soil as fast as they are taken out by cropping; that the soil itself is held in place by the confrolling of erosion; that the forests are held on the steep slopes; grass on the less steep and that plowed land is retained by terracing, contour tillage, strip cropping, rotation; that swamps, ponds and marshes are not needlessly drained. ~ “In “short we must keep land, water, plants and animals at par and cease living on our dynamic “capital.” : “Happy Birthday,” a play written by Mrs. L. H. Millikan and Mrs. Joe Rand Beckett, was to feature the afternoon session today of the Golden Jubilee Festival of the Seventh District Federation of Clubs.

JANE JORDAN

+ + DEAR JANE JORDAN—As you read this letter you may think me a very conceited person. I am a man in the middle thirties and “have made my own way since I was 13. Life, though it hasn’t been ;easy, has never been very hard. For the first time I am asking advice of someone, although I have an extreme dislike for any person ‘who can’t take the bumps along with the good things. I was married quite young to a very fine girl. The marriage lasted 12 years, and though it was congenial, it was never a happy Jone. We just stuck it out that long as a matter of pride. There ‘was never any display of affection, nor did either of us enjoy living together at any time. I simply assumed all the obligations incurred in the making of the home until we separated. I never told any girl that I cared for her until recently. Nearly - 8 year ago I met this girl. She is 11 rears younger than I and has not been married. Do you suppose that any girl really would want a .man who had been married and divorced? : : This young lady is a good clean, wholesome girl of whom any | ~man should be very proud, but I wonder if in the future the ghost of this other marriage of mine would rise up out of the past to “wreck any chance of happiness we might have. Do you think it Iair to a girl who has never been married to marry a man who has? , Does any girl really want a man under these circumstances? I want to be fair, but I'm afraid of going the rest of the way alone. ‘I am just realizing that I'm fast approaching middle age and have missed the most important part of life, Will you answer this as

“honestly as I have written? “5 : : FRIEND OF YOUR COLUMN. ; ® = = 2 8 =» : '

< y N 4+ Answer—The young lady whom you love is the one who should answer your question. Your view that you are somehow besmirched ‘because you have been married and divorced and hence rendered unsuitable as a husband for an inexperienced girl is a little morbid. : Men may value youth, innocence and chastity in a woman, but these ‘are not the prime requisites which the average girl looks for in a <husband. What she wants is an adequate man, able to assume emotional and financial responsibility. ; . You are correct in taking the failure of your marriage seriously, ‘correct in examining yourself for the qualities which contributed to i this failure. Some people learn from their mistakes whereas others simply repeat them. If you are able to learn from experience, your former marriage should not prove to be a drawback. When a second : contrasts unfavorably with a first, it is cause for discontent, but when the reverse is true, there are no ghosts to walk. : Eleven years may or may not be a serious difference in ages. It “depends on the tastes of the people involved. An older man, dis.ciplined by disappointment, may be far ‘more appreciative of a satis:factory wife than a young, untried husband with excessive expectations of marriage. These excessive expectations are among the chief “causes of failure in team-work. Put your problem up to the young lady.. If you in the middle thirties, she is in the middle twenties. Very likely She is more

practical than you expect. For all you know your experience and RY way make men of her own age seem like callow youths in

PATTERN 129 There’s a double dose of good news in this tailored dress for matrons, for Pattern 129, a Claire Tilden masterpiece, is not only your old favorite — a shirtwaister — but it’s a smart button fronter as well!

And you can wear it all day long, confident of your neat, youthful appearance. The easy-fitting lines through the bodice are held trim at shoulders and waist with darts; the sleeves may be either long or short. Panelled lines of the front skirt give a nice slenderizing effect and make for extra flare, Don’t you like the clean-cut style of the reverscollar which may crisply contrast? This frock is so simple and becoming that youll want to make one version in a cool tie-silk for shoppimg or visiting, and another style in gay cotton, perhaps adding decorative stitching and novelty pockets. Pattern 129 is cut in women’s Sizes 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48. Size 36 requires 43 yards 35 inch fabric. Send orders to Pattern Department, Indianapolis Times, 214 W. Maryland St.
