OFFICIAL SPEAKS ON
CHILD WELFARE

Representatives of several Indian
apolis organizations interested in
child welfare heard talks yesterday
by Miss Agnes K. Hanna, Wash
ington, director of the Social Service
Division of the Children's Bureau
of the Department of Labor.
Miss Hanna spoke at a luncheon
meeting of the Young Women's
Christian Association, which was at
tended by a group of women from
many organizations.
She also addressed the Indian
apolis Council of Women in Ayres'
Auditorium. Miss Emma Pusch-
ner, chairman of the National Child
Welfare Department of the Ameri-
can Legion, introduced the speaker,
and also spoke in behalf of the child
labor amendment.
Miss Hanna urged ratification of
the amendment and advocated SIM
%plification of welfare work through
a county welfare department. The
council named Mrs. Fred J.. Brown
a member of the board of directors
and head of the Welfare Committee,
and favored the passage of the
child labor provisions of the Ma
tional Industrial Recovery Act by
the coming session of the Legisla-
ture.

next, deliberately setting up the
king and queen in Vests hand.
Miss White had to get the ace
of spades out of her hand so that
she could discard her two small
spades on the two diamonds in
dummy.
The ace of diamonds was played
next, followed by the jack, which
was overtaken in dummy with the
king.
On the queen of diamonds, Miss
White discarded a spade and West
had to let go his queen of spades.
Now the ten of diamonds was
cashed, the jack of spades being dis
carded by the declarer and West
was helpless.
If he discarded a club, Miss
Whites three clubs would be
good. If West discarded the king
of spades, this established dummy's
ten of spades for the needed thir-
teenth trick.

Dear Jane Jordan-I am a mar
ried man 38 years old and have a
lovely daughter of Is. I am get
ting tired of my wife because she
turned out to be a fiat tire. I like
to dance and drink and go to wild
parties. My wife refuses to 60 to
these places with me. When I
go to these places, the women
seem to flock about me, asking me
to dance. I'll admit I'm a good
locker. My wife is terribly jealous
of me and looks wild when 1 come
in late. I sure get a thrill out of
dancing with pretty girls, espe-
cially blends. I don't know if this
is the right thing for me to do or
not and I'd like your opinion.
My wife is a good housekeeper
and manager and stays home to
tend to her own business. I've
promised her faithfully that I'd
never go out to beer parties again,
but when I think of all those
blends and pretty girls I can't re-
Sist the temptation. Please advise
me. I'm up a stump.

Dear Jane Jordan-I am in my
teens and have been going with a
boy a year my senior for nearly
eight months. He has never as
yet told me that he loves me, al
though he has shown all indica-
tons. 1 love him dearly and hate
to drift along like this. I have
tried in every way possible to show
him that I love him, although 1
do not believe in girls being too
bold.
AS he works in another part of
the state, we do not get to see each
other more than once a month but
we write regularly. Don't you
think thai if he is just bashful
he would overcome it after we
have gone together as long as we
have? Isn't there something I can
do to change the order Of our
friendship? IMPATIENT.
AnSwer-If this young man ever
does get around to proposing I i'm
agine he will mean it. If he is a
sober and serious type he is not
going to get himself engaged to a
girl before he is ready to assume
the responsibility for her. Since
you're both in your teens he shows
rare judgment in not making
grand declarations of permanence
for what may easily be only a boy
and girl affair.
The way you sign your letter
reveals your chief fault. You want
to settle your whole adult future
while you're still in your teens.
In this the young man has more
sense than you have. I think your
friendship is delightful and do not
see why you car not enjoy it with
out being so hot for certainties."
Dear Jane Jordan-I am a girl
of Is, very much in favor with a
boy of 10. We have been going
together two months but his COM
munity friends r always inter-
fering. I believe he listens to these
friends too much. Do you think
it is right for me to go with him
when they tell him not to go with
me? Should a girl. if she loves a
boy we'll enough, do anything in
the world for him? DIMPLE.

encouraged the girls in their playful

sketching Of scenes they visited on
the trip.
When the party visited Taos.
N. NJ. an artist invited the girls TO

them bits OF advice in ~sketching
landscapes and from that day on,
the girls intensified their efforts IN
reproducing the scenery.
When the girls, Patty, Susan

turned from their vacation and
enrolled in school. they decided to
continue their drawing activities to-

couldn't be of any particular merit.

work. Fayette AIMS portrait Of

Ruth's father, Clyde Osborne, IS
a dog fancier and hunter, and her
model Of a settlers head is the
favOrite piece of many club mem
bers' work.
The girls delight in sketching
each other and they are their own
severest critics. Members of their
families and their pets come in for
their share of posing.
Houses Drawn
Often the young artists draw
imaginary houses, modelled after
their ideas of ideal homes and they
sketch gardens which they would
like as settings for the houses.
With pen and pencil they often
sketch modern young women of
fashion and design their w~ardrobes.
Early in the fall the club met on
Tuesday afternoons in Ruth's studio
in the back yard of the Osborne
home. The whitewashed walls are
hung with sketches made by various
members of the club. Later in the
afternoons, the girls decided on
some place to go for refreshments.
This winter the club has been
meeting at members homes and
last week they celebrated the holi-
days with a progressive dinner party

no you know that I really be-
- lieve there are more points lost
on the 15O-ace hands than are
made?
You deal the average player four
aces and a few picture cards on
the side, and it is a pretty safe
bet to say that the contract will
get too hign. However, bold bidding
has taught many players the finer
points of the play of the hand.
Here's a hand I watched Miss
Helen White, one of the women
national champions, play in a rub
Der game recently. Miss Whites
bid of seven no trump may be
termed optimistic, but as the re-
ward for a vulnerable grand slam
bonus under the present scoring is
2250 points, it vas we'll worth the
gamble.
When West opened the jack of
clubs. it looked as if it would be
impossible to make the contract, as
West was certainly marked with
four clubs and the king of spades
by his double.
Miss White sized up the hand
and could see that. if West held
not only the king of spades, but
also the queen, she could employ
the Vienna Coup squeeze play. Sc
she played the hand as follows:
