Efficiency i'm
GOOe1~n 7nent
on Program

Efficiency in government will be
the subject of interest to local
Leagues of Women Voters through
out Indiana, according to an an
nouncement today by Mrs. Walter S.
Greenough, Indianapolis, president
of the Indiana League of Women
Voters. Local league programs,
which are being received at the
State offices, show the September
October and November programs of
the leagues all deal with efficiency
in government subjects.
Prediction activities, including
candidates meetings, one-day citi-
zenship schools on election issues,
and ballot marking classes, will take
up most of the time of the local
leagues during the opening months
of the year.
Study groups on permanent regis
tration, conduct of elections and
legislative procedure and listening
in" to the broadcasting programs
sponsored by the National League of
Women Voters and the National
Broadcasting Company are also
scheduled for September, October
and November.
Peace Program Planned
December when good will to all"
is the prevailing sentiment, will be
devoted to a discussion of inter-
national cooperation to prevent war
committee of the. league, with en-
phasis on the multilateral treaty.
During the meeting of the general
assembly local leagues are planning
to keep in close touch with the pro-
ceedings, while the open meetings
will also treat Of such subjects as
women in inGu1try, child welfare,
legal status Of women, and living
costs.
The State convention will be held
in March and will constitute the
major activity of all leagues for that
month.
Uniformity in Work
In speaking of the local programs,
Mrs. Greenough remarked:
There is a surprising degree of
uniformity in the programs of our
local leagues this year. Since the
State and national leagues of women
voters have a very definite legis-
lative program, we try to keep the
programs all over the country
planned so that local leagues will
be we'll prepared to give informed
and therefore effective help on leg
islative problems as they come up
for action.
with this idea in mind the Indi-
ana league for the past three years
has published suggested monthly
programs for the entire year in the
June issue Of its magazine, The In
diana Woman Voter, with the result
that local leagues throughout the
State work together on the impor-
tant issues. Individual effort counts
for little, but when groups of women
all over the United States are study
ing the same problems at the same
time, their combined influence is
considerable"

. NEW YORK, July 28-Kids' kits
are the latest whim of fashion.
For the well-brought-up young
ster of today carries his clothes
himself when he journeys af1eld.
Luggage, suitable in size and kind,
now caters to the child.
Quite in line with modern
psychology is the new diminutive
luggage. 1t stimulates a childs in
terest in packing and carrying his
own things. And it develops a sense
of responsibility in him because any
child would be glad to look after
his own luggage when it is pretty,

colorful and just the right size.
New luggage for the very young is
all of that. Reds, bright blues,
green's, a yellow tan and lavenders
are all popular. Cowhide, pinseal,
alligator, cobra, pigskin and al other
staple and fancy skins are used.
There are smart luggage enSem-
bles for the young miss, of hatboX

-FOUR Child
Mother Earth
No COddler
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

BY OLIVE ROBERIS BARION
Allow your children to play or
the ground.
There is something about Ole
Mother Earth that they need. But
they'll have to get right next tc
her skin with no blankets or boards
under them to get the real benefit
I am sorry to say that Mother
Earth is no coddler and she is likely
to be damp and cold sometimes
Then, when she is i'll that mood
it is better to let her alone. Colds
and sickness may result.
But in the good ola summertime
no child takes much of a chance
by getting right down and cuddling
up as close to her as possible. 1t
is good for young and old alike. To
sit down, lie down, stay down, and
let Old Sol boil you out, is a good
thing for all.
In the newest and best hospitals
they have wards for sick and con-
valescent children where the sun
rays can shine directly down on
them through quartz glass windows.
Quarts does not divert the rays.
This is for winter, Of course.
Also the new apparatus for all
ing grown-ups is the "sun-machine.' -
When we have to buy the sun,
we think it marvellous When we
are handed it free, it isn't appre-
ciated.
The earth and the sun! Natures
two big cure-alls. 1t is difficult for
grown-ups to take the earth cure
unless they are some place in the
country or at the shore, where they
can flop down.
But it is easy for children, even for
city children. Have you back yard
or side yard or any yard?
Take up those bricks and put in
clean sand or make part of it into
a lawn. If possible try to get the
children to the country for a little
while or take them as often as pos
sible to the park, where they can be
on the ground.
Don't fuss about mud and dirt
Strength is more important than a
little dirt.
But not damp ground; let that be
repeated-nor cold ground.
Another thing. There can be toe
much sun. A shady place should be
provided for hot days, and little
children should wear hats.
Parents in apartments are be-
ing urged, if it is possible for then
to do so, to get a place where chill
dren are brought into contact witt
the ground and the sun and frest
air. All children need these thing!

now may proudly pack up a junior
Kit bag in tan cowhide, with double
strappings to hold it firm. If he
gees for a long trip, he may choose
a small Gladstone and a suit case,
in matching brown cowhide or dark
green or blue alligator.
Either sister or brother might
want just a travelling case for toilet
araticles and a few toys. These
come in the feathers and all colors.
In fact there are diminutive sizes
in practically all the adult luggage,
including gaudy Scotch plaid roll
bags. golf bags and so on.

Wants FngleSS Wife

Because his wife smoked cigarets
and would not stop at his request,
a Cleveland (Ohio) man recently
asked for a divorce from the smok-
ing wife. To be sure, couched just
like this, there is no ground for
complaint. Any woman today has
right to smoke. if she wants to-.
There are many wives, however,
who, while they rather like the little
white tubes, eschew them for some
thing which they believe is more
worth while-their husbands APP

Summer Breakfasts

Since appetites often fail in the
middle of hot days, breakfasts are
more important, in some ways. With

like hot cereals and milk. Grape
fruit juice is nice, for a change from
oranges.

,SO7-YO1US of
Deserted
Husbands
BY MARTHA LEE

You've read story after story in
the daily papers about wife de-
serters, child deserters and the like,
but it isn't very often you read Of a
husband deserter. I was beginning
to wonder if there was such a thing
and if so why. There is, but the
why is still an unsolved mystery.
Perhaps it is because men have
more innate pride that we do not
read of them being deserted by their
wives. Then, too, they usually ca
struggle along, some way or an
other whereas women so often are
left with little children to support
which means that they must resort
to the law in order to force the er,
rant mate to continue their support.
However, 1 had a very pathetic
letter from young man who ha
been deserted by his wife. He is 50
completely abject and the letter
such a glaring example of his be-
draggled spirits.
Here it is:
am young man and have been mar
ried. have one sweet little kid three
years, old: I've never seemed able to get

Well, Jimmy, your position is a
very sad one I will admit, but don't
you think you just little bit to
blame yourself? Why can't you hold
a steady job? I know that jobs are
hard to find, but I should think a
wife and child would be added in
centive for you to work your best in
order that your job might be perma-
nent. You speak of your wife work.
ing. Are you sure that it is any
harder for you to find a job than
it is for your wife?
1t seems to me that she either
loves you very much and is willing
to give you another chance to prove
yourself to her, or else she is very
tickle. If I were you, would buckle
down and find myself a job and
hold it against all odds. Before she
comes back again, see that the rea-
sons for which she left before are
entirely eliminated. Then you can
discover whether it is fickleness or
not.
vi: I have no way to get you the
information you wrote about
should think you could interest
some Of your friends in the idea,
especially since you have a tentative
booking.
A Mother: I would certainly
regulate the length of time I allowed
the peighbor children to stay in the
yard. Your children need some
solitude and the chance to learn to
understand each other.

Woman s Day
BY ALLENE SUMNER

A beauty expert prophesies that
there will be no homely women in
fifty years. The beauty of woman
will be as taken for granted, she
says, as the green of the grass or
the pink of the rose. Which means,
automatically, that there will be
no such thing in our barren lives
as the thrill that comes from see
ing a truly beautiful woman, for
beauty is in proportion to its rarity.
A world of all beautiful women
would mean that the ugly woman
would be the beauty. For what
would it profit a woman to have
eyes like purple or brown pansies,
hair like spun gold, cheeks like the
damask rose, and teeth like pearls,
if these attributes we're only the
taken-for- granted things of wom-
an?
But then, no such disaster will
ever come. A world of all beauti-
full women is as remote as world
with no poverty or sin.
