A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
by MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

FORMULAS for keeping young are presented to the
4 middle aged American woman in an ever in
creasing array But why do We wish to remain
young?
1t is enough to explain that we hope by our ex-
traordnary juvenescence to make an impression on
the family, the friends the public but unless you
happen to be in the show business no such impression
will ever be made. The family will soon become
bored with your obsession and your friends will
envy you to the point of positive dislike.
Do we want to stay young to keep our hus5andsP
1t is SO said However, have long since become dis
illusioned on that score because some of the most
devoted husbands I know are faithful to women who
have let themselves grow middle-aged without re-
greet and who spend more time cultivati1g friend
ship than beauty
Along with millions of others of my sex once
thought that could be held by the frail tendris
of physical loneliness I believe so no longer since
have watched so many men walk out on ladies of
most distractng loneliness with persons in whom I
could discover trace of charm.
The flower of passion grows in all kinds of soil
and there is no accounting for masculine tastes
Neither poet nor philosopher can explain why we
love this one and not that oe for love goeth where
it listeth"
There remains but one sensible reason why
women SnOuu desire TO remain young-So we can
work. 1t is our sole legitimate excuse for wanting
perpetual youth. And at bottom dare say it is the
only one, though few of us realize it.
Women who make valuable contributions to
family society never engage in these desperate
hand-to-hand combats with time, but they are
always young. Remember Marie Dressler She never
took prizes in beauty shows, but how vivid and
charming and ageless she seemed Carrie Chapman
aft Marc SapU
their age? No, and they do not worry about getting
old. They are too busy doing something for human
ity In smaller spheres each of us might initiate
them.

GIVING TOWNSEND A CUE

THE obvious reluctance of the Bell Committee to
- cite DR.. Townsend for contempt of the House
indicates that the committee has come to recognize
something that it might well have recognized earlier.
1t is that the good doctor walks the boards in the
national theater in the role of Messiah. The role
is more apparent now that he has drawn about him
the cloak of martyr and intoned the plea of per-
secution
Although the Bell Committee has turned up some
pertinent evidence in proof that the motives of some
of the Townsend promoters were somewhat less pure
than driven snow, nevertheless the head hunting
spirit which animates so many congressional nvesti-
cations has not been absent from this one.
The technique which this committee has followed
is similar to that employed successfully by Sem
ator jim Reed in investigating election frauds few
years ago. and for while employed successfully by
Senator Black, first in investigating and air.
mail frauds end later in investigating utility lobby
iss but not SO successfully when he raked through
the private as we'll as public activities of various New
Deal critics.
Unlike the Black Committee, the Bell Committee
so far we can see, has not gone beyond its legal
powers. But it apparently has overplayed its hand
at least to the extent of creating atmosphere in
which Dr. Townsend could stalk with a martyrs
tread away from the witness stand leaving the COM
mittee not knowing what to do about it,
The Black Committee got in wrong ny ignoring
TIE Bill Of Rights. TIE Bell Commi~tee got into
tough spot by misunderstanding the art of drama
The prosecutors technique was nept. We hope that
some day congressional investigators will learn their
limitations
As for the Old-Age Revolving Pension Plan, the
martyr act may cause resurgence of Townsend
sentiment, which recently has shown signs of weak
ton to sustain the movement.
Despite our disbelief in the economics of his $780,
amonth pension plan and despite distlust of the
motives of of his associates We have always
considered DR.. Townsend sincere advocate. If his
plan is fundamentally sound he contends it is he
would get further in the long run by using logic
rather than dramatics.

INDIANA BANKERS

MEMBERS OF the Indiana Bankers Association,
Ava concluding their fortieth annual convention
here yesterday, were given reassurng picture of
the nations basic financial soundness by Mariner
S. Eccles. chairman of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System
While Mr.. Eccles' statements to the bankers were
"of the record" it is betrayal of confidence to
say that he was optimistic about the future and
undismayed about the hardships of recent years.
He frankly admitted that changing economy is
accompanied by mistakes, both in government and in
private business activities He spoke as public
official, but also a man who has made distinct
success in the banking business
This same confidence in America was reflected
by Indiana bankers. Arthur " Brown president
of the Indianapolis Clearing House Association and
of the Indiana National Bank, told his colleagues
that the United States is in the best condition of any
country in the world.

tank. therefore, when the Interior Department
appropriation bill was before the House, Rep Lam
nam OF Texas secured amendment authorizing
the Bureau of Mines to sell its supplies at cost, or
around IS, to doctors and hospitals
When the bill reached the Senate private heliun,
interests OF Kentucky got busy Backed by Senator
Barley they filed protest asserting that such re-
auction OF costs would injure their business. The
Senate committee threw out the Lanham amend
ment

quently repeated adage that truth
is stranger than fiction. Legend has
assigned nine lives to cat but
science has proved that certain but
terflies are born seven times.
Austin H. Clark, distinguished
biologist of the Smithsonian Institu-
ticn, has made a detailed study of
the life of the butterfly known as
the gold-banded skipper, rather
rare butterfly found in early sum-
mer in the damp Maryland and Vir-
GINA woods.
This creature, after emerging
from the egg as tiny chrome-yel-
low caterpillar with an extremely
large head, goes through SIX addi-
tional changes or metamorphoSes.
In each stage, it is a creature diff
fering from. the other stages in APP
pearance, physical structure, color,
and way of life.
The life pattern of the gold
banded skipper roughly approx
mates that Of other butterflies, Mr..
Clark says, although some have
fewer stages or metamorphoses.
During the first five weeks of its
life, the gold-banded skipper goes
through five .rebirths," each time
crawling out of its skin and emery

from the previous stage.
Then comes the final radical
change, the period of pupation. dur

pended animation in the cocoon. At

MIR. Clark, like light lavender-tinted
snow.

nod;
Honeysuckle Hill, you're so close to
God,
That every tiny, ripping rill
Brings me an added thrill.
Twas on Honeysuckle Hill that ]
found love-,
And here I thanked every star

Twas here that I held her tight
When the breezes blew at night.
On Honeysuckle Hill she cried,
With all her charming little heart
That she loved me, loved me
From the very, very start.
So now the wedding bells are ring
ing,
And every little bird is happy sing
ing,
For there's to be a lifting, loving
thrill.
IT'S wedding time, mating time on
