Politics Is

Women Told
ByTimes Special

By Times Special
ANDERSON, Ind, May 7.-An
appeal calling women into active
participation in affairs of govern
ment and politics was sounded by
Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, former
Governor of Wyoming. and at pres
ent vice-chairman Of the Demo-
cratic national committee, in an ad-
dress here Wednesday at the meet
ing Of the Indiana Democratic
Women's Club.
The technique Of politics is
something that must be learned, like
everything else" said Mrs. Ross.
She urged women to throw them
selves into the breach for the re-
turn of stability in national life as
they did during the World war.
Humanitarian service. through
the generations" Mrs. Ross said,
"has been a leading interest with
women. They have organized to es-
tablish charitable enterprises Of all
kinds and have gone up and down
the streets begging for funds to keep
them going.
Realize Their Power
Women Of vision now are begin
ming to see the possibility of using
their political power to establish
policies that will lead to the sub
stitution Of justice for charity.
There are hundreds Of thousands
of women who. now are alive to
their duty, earnestly wanting to
make their citizenship count for
the good of humanity, but they
don't know how to make themselves
effective"
Scores Of Democratic leaders in
Indiana, both men and women, at
tended the meeting.
r. E. Peters, Ft. Wayne, was a
speaker. Strides taken by women
in politics in recent years indicate
their equality with men in leader
ship and service" he said.
mo factor surpasses in irnpor-
tance the activity of women, and
since. the last election no group has
been more insistent upon strict
accounting from public officials"
Peters declared.

WHAT'S IN FASHION?-
Comfort on Sun Porch

ATEW YORK, May There's
L Y many husband, well wager,
who's going to spend next Saturday
afternoon getting the sun porch
furniture out of the storage room.
And many another viii be taken
firmly by the hand and led to the
nearest stores sun porch furniture
department.
Both these ways Of spending a
Saturday afternoon are good ones.
Because the sun porch certainly is
an important room Of the home
Just about now.
1t has almost all the advan-
tages OF living outdoorS-and none
Of the inconvenienceS. instead
modern sun porch furniture being
what it is-it's one of the most
convenient and comfortable places
any one can be.
Sturdy Fiber Kind Best
Most Of the furniture that's going
to spend the summer on the porch
Will be that sturdy, good-looking
fiber furniture upholstered in Gre
tonnes SO gay they make you think
you're sitting in the middle Of
garden.
Three-piece sets are good way
to start if you're getting new sun
porch furniture. That means a
sofa. and two chairs.
It's easy to add to this later, if
you want to, because there are ia
bles and chairs Of many kinds, all
OF the same general design and
construction.
Some folks prefer a glider in
stead Of sofa. A glider, as you
know, is really a sofa-sWing, made
Of metal and canvas. And one of
these with tvs fiber chairs is Just
as practical a beginning as the
sofa set.

Rattan and Willow
Rattan is the name for those
large, fat sticks with what appear
to be burned spots in them. They're
usually bound together with bright
strips Of cane.
Willow is smaller sticks. 1t looks
softer than rattan and isn't abso-
lutely straight. And several sticks
are bound together to make one.
Reed is the heart of rattan and
is usually combined with rattan in
this summer furniture.
Reed, rattan and willow furniture
tend to nodernistic designs. The
pieces are low-slung and deep
seated. They look like some of the
modernistic metal furniture.
Generally they're upholstered in
modern looking fabrics-plain col

Girl Scouts
TO Observe
Cookie Day

Plans are being formulated by
fifty three Girl Scout troops in In
dianapolis for observance of annual
Girl Scout Cookie day Saturday,
May %.
1t is expected that troop members
will sell 10000 dozen cookies, at 20
cents dozen. It is hoped that the
sale will exceed the 5000 dozen
sold last year by at least 5000.
Proceeds will be used for capital
expense at Camp Dellwood, the Girl
Scout camp located two miles west
Of the indianapolis Motor Speed
way.
Following are the committees who
are arranging for the events: Mrs
Henry Sellnlan Jr., leader group;
Mrs. Edward Gardner, finance; Mrs.
G. Willis Adams, motor corps; Mrs.
Theodore Vonnegut, downtown
booths; Mrs. Joseph Miner, pub
licity, and Mrs. Cecil Calvert,

LITTLE SIMULATED BOLERO
A little touch Of contrasting on a
cotton wash frock is charming.
Take the applied bands on this
one, for instance, cleverly arranged
to simulate a bolero. The neckline
and sleeves repeat the trim and
achieve just the smartest effect ever.
This dress of yellow and brown
printed batiste uses plain brown
bands.
Style No. 283 is designed for girls
of 4, 6, 8 and 10 years.
Checked and plain gingham, two
shades of linen or shirting with the
stripes used on the bias for trim are
smart ideas for this French model.
Size requires 2 yards 35-inch,
with 4 yard 35-inch contrasting.

money, or to base ones likes or
dislikes upon the condition of a
purse.
A ND what does it matter, says
IN he, "if you miss the ecstasies
Of life SO long as you have the
luXuries"?
Well, it matters a very great
deal, as he might find cut if he
watched the behavior of women
who have married for money alone
and who spend the rest of their
lives seeking what they have
missed.
Another flaw in this masculine
reasoning lies in the assumption
that there are as many rich men
in the world as intelligent girls.
With happy unconcern, Mr.. Lin
coin leads us to suppose that
wealthy eligibles grow on trees,
ready for the plucking, like
peaches in a good season.
The smart girl these days knows
better. She knows, for instance,
that very often poor men become
rich ones and rich ones poor ones.
She knows also that marriage is
not worth two whoops TO any
woman who is not ready to make
sacrifice toward its success.
The true marriages are those in
which husband and wife have
climbed upward together.

Every
Day
Sense
FIREMAN LINCOLN. son of

T7REEMAN LINCOLN, son of
n well-known author, says that
the proper thing for girls to do
these days is to marry for money.
He continues with these remarks:
''My intelligent girl will not
marry any rich man who comes
along, but she will choose one for
whom she has a genuine liking.
She will like his friends, his fam
lily, his habits, and himself.
"She will recognize his good
qualities and have a very genuine
tolerance for his faults. And while
she may miss some of the &C.
stasies of life, she may also miss
some of its sharper miseries."
All this may sound like very
good sense, but it isn't.
Mr.. Lincoln's girl is a very un-
pleasant young lady according to
that picture, a snob, a sycophant,
and something Of fool, if you
ask me. It is not a mark of in
telligence to overlook a persons
faults merely because he has
