Inside Indianapolis __ ... Doctors’ Assistants

By Ed Sovola

LOOK for some changes in doctors’ offices in our peachy town. The gals in white are organizing to be sweeter to you, the patient. " The American Medical Association started it by publishing a booklet entitled “Winning Ways With Patients” and distributing a it to the four winds with a mimeographed course in “Public Relations for Doctors’ Assistants.” Locally the program was tided and abetted by Blue Shield 4 and the Indianapolis Medical Association. Last July the Indianapolis Medical Assistants Association was formed with a constitution, by-laws, officers and 151 members, ¢ o o IF THE gals follow the prescribed AMA study program, every doctor's assistant will be a perfect angel, on the phone, in the office and the inner sanctum. In fact, after completing a course of study. an assistant should be able to evoke a smile from the patient when he pays the bill. Quite a goal.

Officers elected to guide the IMAA through its first year include Ruth Morgan, president; Dorothy Grumann, first vice president; Alberta Gowan, second vice president; J. Marie Theobald, recording secretary; Juliana Dober, ccoresponding secretary, and Jean Denton, treasurer.

Make us happy, girls, we're willing. Maybe we won't even have to see the doctor.

Americana By Robert C. Ruark

NEW YORK, Sept. 17 — My friend Missus Bophie Gimbel flang herself a big party the other night in honor of her new fall dress collection. I wish to blow a kiss at Mr. Adam Gimbel's lady, if he won't mind. Sophie is a rare thing in the fashion field. She thinks clothes should make a woman pretty, not ugly. This is rank heresy if you are a member: of the French school of £ couture, which believes down == to the last sissy he-designer that clothes were intended to make women ugly, because s0 = many of these boys are not interested in girls from a practical standpoint. For many a weary year, though, the Amerjcan dathes have faithfully followed the bad jokes on themselves, perpetuated by the foreigners, and have succeeded in looking remarkably foolish on many occasions. The popular fashion magazines, where the writers use pale green typewriters to turn out pale purple prose and all the models stand spraddle-

legged, have largely delighted in forcing the French atrocities on the American housewife,

SOPHIE HAS COMMITTED a flock of ununpardonable sins. For a start, all her models seem to be pretty, healthy looking gals, with their own chests and some meat on their bones. They do not look like the spavined scarecrows of the Paris salons, who are generally so thin that the consumption of an apple would make them resemble snakes with a gullet full of rabbit.

The only way you can tell Sophie's gals are models is that they walk as all models walk — as if momentarily expecting a kick in the pants— and they smile as all models smile—as if they were bravely controlling a mounting nausea. But they sure Jooked good in them gowns, 1 have the technical fashion knowledge of a hog, but I think I know what the fellows like to see dames wearing, and Sophie is right on. She figures that American women who are vLiostly large and well-nourished need a different brand of drape from the European belles, and has proceeded to provide it. The formal stuff is not so naked that you feel like you have stumbled into a boudoir, but there's enough chopped off the top to convince you that Madame is either true or falsie. The skirts are not hacked off so high that the poor gals look like vagrant ballerinas, but there's enough space between the hem and Soo to tell whether the

Mrs. Gimbel’'s Clothes Do Right by Our Nell

THERE IS A LOT of simplicity and a lot of black and white and rich color and some shiny sparkles and even an average dame might manage to look good in the stuff. Sexy enough, but not vampirish, and healthy enough, but not homespun or cornfed. While pitying the pathetic suggestibility of the American women to what she has been told is high style—they’ll wear anything if somebody tells 'em it's chic—I have been sorer still at the cynical style switches, from short to long, high to low, to spur the purchase of a brand-new wardrobe for Milady every year. It's been a racket to keep Mama dissatisfied and the old man broke. I don't know whether Sophie will consider this a compliment, but her stuff will look as good next year, or last, or five years hence in competition with any of the freak fripperies. It is high time the girls started dressing for the boys instead of for themselves, and I do believe Missus Gimbel has started a healthy trend.

Dishing the Dirt By Marguerite Smith

Q--Do you have any leaflets on philodendron? I am just trying to raise some. I was told to let them get quite dry between waterings, Is this right? Any other suggestions? Mrs, Edward W. Karpinski, 308 E. 19th. A--No leaflets on philodendrons. If enough readers are interested I will prepare a leaflet on houseplant tips. Drop me a line, or call, if you are, Philodendron is one plant that likes a lot of water, I rarely let my own get completely dry.

Read Marguerite Smith's Garden Column in The Sunday Times

And then it's usually because I forgot to water them, They are marsh plants, So you can keep water standing around them most of the time and they'll love it, But along with this be sure you have them potted in loose woodsy soil. Get some woods dirt, or mix rotted manure with good top soil or add compost to loosen clay if that's what you have to start with. QI started a violet from leaves last September. They grow awfully slow. Should I transplant them? Mrs. E. 8, 3550 Madison Ave. Also answering Mrs. Claude Duncan, Greencastle, A--If you potted the small plant in a too-big pot it may be spending all its energies making roots. Pot in rich soil, and with proper watering plants should grow on nicely. For further details send a stamped self-addressed envelope

WINS COURT FIGHT—

Eleanor Holm Trained For ‘Big Show’

By ANDREW TULLY Seripps-Howard Staff Writer NEW YORK, Sept. 17— Eleanor Holm Rose took her pretty brown hair down in an exclusive interview today and told how she “trained, like for a championship swimming race,” for her victoris ous court battle with hubby Billy Rose. The 38-year-old former Olympic swimming star said she sought strength in a strict daily regimen dur- i

snecaing last Wednes- - day's brief court appearance, At that appearance, Billy with-

drew-aH charges. of unfaithful- .

ness against Eleanor and let her win an uncontested separation decree. “I could never have survived that awful period if I hadn't stayed in training,” Eleanor said of the interlude of nearly a year when she and Billy were exchanging bitter charges of moral turpitude. “I handled this like I would a championship,” she said. “For the past few months I've been going to bed every night by 10 o'clock. I cut ’'way down on cigarets and stopped drinking.” “I went swimming every day ~—usually out at my folks’ place”— (in Long Beach, L. L). s » » “AND LET me tell you something very funny—you get in that water and you have no problems; everything seems so simple and clean-cut.” Eleanor said she was: going

‘Canned’ Souvenirs Save Canada Castle

OTTAWA, Canada, Sept. 17 (CDN)—It begins to look as if Moorside Ruins, Mackenzie King’s bequest to his fellow Canadians, may last awhile after all, thanks

to the ingenuity of its official custodians, The late former prime minister erected sections of stone wall, reclaimed from historic buildings in Canada and abroad, on the rough hillside farm he used as a summer homé and gave to the nation at his death, : The ruins include archways, doorways, columns and window frames salvaged from wrecked buildings like the old British House of Commons, a castle here, | a bank building there.

King set them up in the form of a rough rectangle, at a hign, point. Moorside turned out to be a

major tourist attraction as soon as the ruins were opened to the public.

But souvenir hunters were ruining the ruins. They were chipping off chunks of stone and carrying them away.

Officials were afraid they'd have to either mount a constant guard or close the place to the very people to whom King left it. Then they hit on a bright idea.

They had small-sized hunks of rubble from an Ottawa building scattered around the ruins. The pieces look as if they might have been scraps left by King during his building operations. They fit easily into a man’s pocket or a woman's purse, Mackenzie King's Moorside ruins have taken a new lease on life. The hunters are picking up their souvenirs instead 6f chiseling them.
