White Condemns
Sinclair Lewis

Miss Agnes Ferris, city librarian,
returned last evening from one
day conference of the sixth district
convention Of the California Ii
brary Association held at Ontario
on March ), attended by approx
matcly 800 Librarians from this dis
trict.
William Allen White, noted cdi.
tor of the Emporia Daily and Week
~ Gazette and author Of several
works of fiction including "In Our
Town. "A Certain Rich Man, -
1.-The Life Of Wilson, and "The
Life of Coolidge" and who serves
as one of the judges of the famous
"The Book of the Month club,
was the principal speaker of the
gathering. White bitterly con.
demned Sinclair Lewis most recent
novel "Elmer Gantry,' which de
nonnces orthodox religious beliefs,
as an anti-Christian work, charact-
erizing the book as "deadly,' and
declaring his belief that the novel
finishes Lewis artisticallv.
In addition to his discussion OF
many 0f the ultra -mOdcrnlSlS,
White criticized the authors who
waste their very considerable tai
cnts in pandering 10 the present
public taste for sex literature.
White named Villa Gather Dorothy
Garfield Fisher, Edna Ferber and
Zona Gale as leading American no
velists, also giving high praise to
Booth Harrington. Among English
novelists he chose John Galsworthy,
II. G.. Wells, Arnold Bennett and
Shelia Kaye-Smith as the most
noteworthy from, an artistic view
point.
Several other well-known literary
people addressed the gathering,
which featured a round-table discus
ton after Whites talk.
The afternoon session was devot-
ed to discussions Of the problems
that confront the librarian, and,
Miss Ferris believes, many points
were brought forth that can be used
to increase the efficiency of the To-
cal library.

Heel Protectors
BY HEDDA HOYT
United Press Fashion Editor


Women who drive AUTOMOBILES
will be interestd in the new heel
protectors for drivers. The woman
driver finds that the high heels OF
her shoes become scuffed when she
drives and for this reason a leather
heel protector has been designed
and is now on the market.
These heel protectors are merely
little heel-shaped pieces OF leather
with anklet attachments. The leath-
err protector fits snugly over the
shoe heel being held firmly by a
heel strap as we'll as by an ankle
strap. Models are shown in both
brown leather and black patent
There are two kinds of ankle at
tachments, one being a narrow
strap of leather with a tiny buckle
clasp and the other being a metal
slip-on anklet similar to those for
merly worn by men bicyclists.
Some women drivers wear mud
guards which we're worn upon the
streets this spring as protection
for the shoe and hosiery. These are
made of rubberized cloth and look
like half of a galoshe since they
appear at the back of the foot only
They are not as satisfactory for
driving purposes as are the regular
leather heel protectors designed for
driving.
It seems that much emphasis is
being placed upon heels this season
Stockings with contrast hnieelgm
stockings with contrasting heels
have become so universally accepted
that almost every one wears them
The gunmetal stocking with black
square heel is very we'll liked for
street wear. Parchment toned
stockings with light brown heels are
aslo popular. For soprtswear white
stockings with colored heels are
having quite a vogue. For instance
white stockings with black heels are
often worn with the black anc
white sports costume. We have seer
heels of pastel shade on white OF
nude stockings matching pastel
colored sports shoes.
Even the heel of the shoe is at
tracing attention these days. Many
shoes, have heels of contrasting
leather and some have heels of con-
trasting color AS a rule the hee,
corresponds in color with the shoe
piping or the vamp ornamentation
At present one sees many light tan
ish shoes with brown heels and
piping worn with nude hosiery with
square brown heels.

tage from distance, as one which
is painted white. Besides, paint pro-
tects wood and metal surfaces from
the deterioration caused by damp
ness.
Sometimes the well-house consists
of gabled roof supported by tree
like posts. Or it may be of the gen.
eral architectural style of the Chi
nese pagoda. Again, it is built along
the lines of an Italian pergola. There
is also the nid-Victorian well-house
with latticed walls and arched door,
ways.
What a charming picture is pre-
sented to the passing motorist by
a well-kept country place, with rose
trellis, grape-arbor or pergola, we'll

tractively painted as the house it
self, and gelaming markle-white

Girl Scouts
Use Barge
as School

Camp on a river barge winding
down the Kentucky River was the
scene of a Girl Scout regional train
ing school for seventy-two leaders
from Kentucky, Ohio and West Vir-
GINA. Miss Ray Mitchell, regional
Director for the Kenowva region OF
Girl Scouts, was the director.
1.-THE City of Irvine, the river
boat used, was towed down the
Kentucky River by motor launch
in charge of two experienced river
men. The students boarded the
boat at Ford, KY, and went down
the river as far as High Bridge and
back again. The trip was supple
mented with stops along the way
where the school landed and built
camps and lived in the woods OF
the Cumberland Mountains until
ready to move on again. Nature
study, pioneer camping, outdoor
cookery, and swimming formed a
large part of the program. They live
in small groups divided into three
troops and collected material on the
Kentucky folk lore and songs.
The evenings we're devoted to
camp fire programs when on land
and nights spent On board the boat
we're used to learn country dances
and handicraft work.
Miss Mitchell's staff includes a,
Red Cross Life Saving examiner as>
swimming instructor, dietitian and
Girl Scout leaders experienced in
pioneer work and camping.

: The well-house which enshrines
"the old oaken bucket is far from
being thing of the past. 1t is too
picturesque a feature to be aban-
doned by the progressive, modern
farmer, or the owner of a country
estate. If there is well anywhere
about the place, it is being made the
most of today, not only for practical
purposes, but also as a decoration.
The protecting roof over the stone
walled well is the ornamental fea-
ture. It's mission is to keep off the
blaze of the summer sun and to
some extent guard the water below
from falling leaves and dust. 1t is

How to Cook and
Keep Cool

Hot summer days, but the family
must be fed, just the same. To
cook and to keep cool should be
every housewives aim, for cook she
must and keep cool, she should,
but how is it to be accomplished.
The very best way is to plan ahead
and to do ahead. Planning ahead
means thinking of meals a day OF
two in advance, in other words,
knowing what you are going to do
with Mondays leftover on Tues
day. Doing ahead means cooking
enough on Monday so that there
will be left-overs to use on Tuesday
1t is just as easy to cook large
piece of meat as it is a small one.
Possibly no other meat responds
quite SO well to left-overs as, ham.
A whole ham may be cooked in the
pressure or fireless cookers and
there are all sorts of ways in which
it may be used.
Ways to Serve Ham
For the first meal it may be
served hot and the remainder used
to concoct all sorts of easily pre-
pared and appetite appealing dishes.
The delicate pink slices with their
white fat criSped at the edges make
an attractive border around
mound of potato salad. Garnish the
platter with radish roses and crisp
water cress, and no hot weather
jaded appetite will fail to respond
to this cool, crisp looking dish.
Dreamed ham as ham la King
is another attractive way to prepare
leftover ham. The ham may be
ground and set away in the ice box.
The white sauce, too, may be made
in the cool of thamorning and all
this dish needs is a little last min
ute relocating.
The creamed ham may be served
in pattie cases instead Of on toast.
Here is a recipe for creamed ham
that is different.
Creamed Ham in Br cad Cases
~ cups dried cold cooked ham.
/ Tablespoon minced pimento.
loaf stale bread.
In cups thin white sauce.
/ tablespoon chopped olives.
Salt and pepper.
Cut the loaf of bread in six pieces,
trim off crust, cut in squares and
hollow out the center. Toast the
bread cases or brown in deep fat.
Add ham and seasonings to cream
sauce and heat. Fill bread cases
with the ham mixture, garnish with
parsley and serve at once.
Jellied Ham
pound cold cooked ham diced.
! can pimentoS. cut fine.
3 tablespoons minced pickles.
l pint hot stock
/ tablespoon gelatine.
I bay leaf.
! slice onion.
Soak gelatine in cold water and
dissolve in the hot stock. Mix re-
naming ingredients and turn into
mold, slightly buttered. Pour
gelatine stock over all. The sides
Of the mold may be lined with slices
of hard-cooked egg, if desired. Set
away to chill. When ready to serve,
unmold and serve on a platter
garnished with parsley and lemon
slices.
