A. A. U. W. Opposes Shortening Of School Term for Children

In State’s Rural

Sections

Times Special

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., March Association of University Women

2. — Opposition of the American to curtailment of the educational

program for rural children or shortening of the school term during the war was pointed out recently by Mrs, Ward G. Biddle of Bloomington in a letter to the state board of education. Mrs. Biddle is corresponding

secretary of the state division of the The organization’s members, she wrote, “believe that any curtailment of the educational program at present, for the benefit of those who seek to profit from the labor of children, should be deplored and opposed. “The boys and girls will need all possible preparation to cope with the problems which they will face in the future.” In reply, Dr. Clement T. Malan, state superintendent of public instruction, commended the A. A. U. W. for concurring in the recommendation of the last meeting of the state board of education which urged that the school term not be shortened. A bulletin sent to all city, town and county superintendents of schools in Indiana as an official notification of the action of the state board of education on this question reads: “The state board of education sees no emergency at the present time which would make it advisable to shorten the terms of the’ public schools either by adding more days to the week or more hours to the day or by reducing the number of days of the school term below the established number.”

8134

Enchantingly different, here is a design which suggests a new way to make up a soft, pretty, sheer cotton—in a frock of devastating charm. From neckline to hem this model is completely simple and in good taste—yet picturesquely effective with its snug fitting bodice and flaring, tiered skirt and single note of contrast in the ribbon sash at the waistline. It is a dress the younger girl can easily make herself —for her own springtime parties and good times. Pattern 8134 is in junior sizes,11 to 19. Size 13 requires 4% yards 35-inch material, 2 yards ribbon for sash. For this attractive pattern, send 15 cents in goin, your name, address, pattern number and size to The Indianapolis Times Pattern service, 214 W. Maryland st. Planning new clothes for spring? Then send for the fashion book, our cajalogue of new pattern styles —it shows sizes oo far all the family.

Voters’ League to Distribute Tax Information as Part Of War Time Service Plan

Public distribution of a broadside on taxes is being started by the

The broadside, “Bigger Taxes Are

Better Taxes,” has just been received from the league’s national office.

Since members of the league, in its more than 20 years of exist-

broadside’s contents. Distribution coincides with the congressional tax hearings scheduled for early this month and with payment of federal income tax by March 15. The broadside presents answers to such questions as: “Why big taxes? How big? How many must pay? How shall we pay—sales or income tax? How will increased taxes help control inflation?” The publication, third in a series issued by the league, was preceded by “Why Buy Defense Bonds?” issued in January, and “The Importance of Voting in Wartime,” which also dealt with voter registration and absent voter ballots for men in service. The latter was issued early last month.

On Tax Problems

The new publication sums up the tax problem and the citizen's stake in it in these words: “The amount and kind of taxes that are levied this year depénd upon what congress is willing to do. This will depend in part upon what congress thinks the country will accept. “And this will depend upon the extent to which people understand the measures that are necessary td pay for the war and to prevent the

tion.” Dissemination of the information contained in the broadside will be a continuance of the league’s wartime service program created to

mental problems.

We, the Women—

Wars Are Not Won With Sour Faces

By RUTH MILLETT HER FACE is a mile long. No matter what conversation anyone else starts, she squelches it with some gloomy prediction for the future. She looks right down her nose at the women who still find a little time for fun and still have a taste for it. She just doesn’t see how any one can enjoy anything in times like these. She feels that she is doing her part by taking the war hard. Actually all she has done is find a good excuse for being gloomy, cynical, and for spreading alarming rumors. She is

Ruth Millett war

as an exdoesn’t want to do. She has entirely cut out entertaining with the self-righteous explanation, “I just don’t feel like it with things as they are.” That woman’ is making everyone she comes in contact with feel depressed and fearful of the future. And yet she thinks she is more intelligent than her sisters who still can enjoy an evening of fun, and who are just as gay and lighthearted appearing as they ever were. ” tf J » FORTUNATELY there aren't .a lot of women like her. But there are too many. One Sourpuss Sue can scatter depression among a whole group of people. Think of that the next time you are tempted to outdo the next woman when she starts predicting a dark future, or painting a sad picture of some family that is separated by war, or passing on a “They say” criticism of the way things are being run. There aren't many spectacular things that women can do right now - to make things better. But they can all smile—and they ought to—for the duration.

Musicale Will Present Opera

Presentation of the opera, “The Bartered Bride,” will form. the monthly musical program of the Indianapolis Matinee musicale at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon in Ayres’ auditorium. Mrs. William H. Morrison Jr. will act as narrator for the story of the opéra. Members appearing on the program will be Miss Ocie Higgins, soprano; Mrs. Robert W. Blake, contralto; Farrell M. Scott, tenor; Virgil H.
