We the Women—
Denies Hate
Is Necessary To Warfare
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Times Special Writer ; IF A CAT may look at a Xing, perhaps it is permissible for a woman to chide a general. To me the words of ‘Lieut. Gen. Lesley J. McNair recently broadcast to all American troops were shocking and unnecessary. “We must hate with every fiber of our being,” . he} said. “We must lust for
our enemies have lighted the way to faster and crueler killings.” Aren't those soul -shrivelling words? Certainly they are not a fitting slogan for the allied nations which are supposed to be fighting to set up justice and mercy on earth. They repudiate our whole war purpose. They deny the very ideals for which we are willing to sacrifice and die. Besides, no one has ever proved that hate is the best incentive for the soldier. This country endured a cruel, bitter, internal war and the intelligent people on both _ sides fought without hate because their people were blood brothers.
THE MEN AND WOMEN of the North did not hate the men and women of the South. They slaughtered each other, but not because of individual or sectional animosity. They fought, as decent men have ever done, for one thing only—the preservation of an aca) in which they believed. To be convinced that soldiers l= dom hate their foes you need only talk with men who have lived through one or. many military campaigns. National hatred is nearly always centered in the civilian classes. Paradoxical as it seems, those who are engaged in the business of actual killing usually feel immense pity for their victims. This makes sense because war is the army’s business—for the soldier it is a job to do—and so to wage a war successfully it is best that emotions be kept: under control. This much is true at least. When hate is lauded as a virtue many of us realize more keenly how necessary it is to hold fast to common sense and love so that we may not become as evil as our enemies. We can be sure of one thing—those enemies will fall, and their ultimate destruction will be caused by the violence of their own hearts’ hate.
Maennerchor Society To Attend Luncheon
The annual Christmas party and luncheon of the Indianapolis Maennerchor Ladies society will be held at 12:30 p. m. Friday at the Athenaeum, Mrs. ‘Hortense Rauh Burpee will be guest speaker and Mrs. Anton Scherrer will tell Christmas stories.

To Heat, Place Cans Sideways in Pans
When heating cans in a porcelain enameled utensil, do not ‘stand them upright on ‘the bottom of the utensil. Place them sideways, or use a rack. : Always use moderate flame or electric current. This will result in a relatively short over-all fooking time, because porcelain enameled utensils save heat and cook thoroughly. . ;

“By MARGUERITE YOUNG . ‘Times. Special Writer’ NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—Christmas will not find every Mary and Johnny fighting mock battles with jeeps of ambulances. It will find millions of them minding their baby dolls, training and cuddling animals, building the well-planned towns of tomorrow. True, rubber dolls are made no more, there are fewer toys to be had with steel and other nowprioritied parts, and distribution is so uncertain that it’s practically impossible ‘to point to any particular toy and say, “That will be available everywhere up to Christmas eve.” However, there are more than enough of practically every KIND of toy for the early shopper to do a tidy job of providing traditional playthings and newer play-with-a-purpose equipment. 8 8 » TYPICAL of the changing traditional toy—dolls, There are still a good many with composition face, elastic joints, Hedy Lamarr clothes. The doll of the future, already replacing the glamour number, is a stuffed, cloth baby, but she’s limp as a rag doll no longer. Surprisingly shapely limbs, composition hands and face, yellow cotton curls, and good, handpainted eyes make her lifelike, Wood, plastics, and laminated cardboard with good color make the traditional mechanical and builder toys in great variety.
