PAGE 8 State Delegates to Federation Meeting to Vote on Policies Women’s Clubs Council to Convene in Miami April 27 to Decide on National, International Problems. Timr Sprrial WASHINGTON, D. C , April I.—lndiana delegates to the General Federation of Women's Clubs council meeting, to be held in Miami April 27 to May 1, are to have a voice in resolutions or. matters of national and international policies. The resolutions are to represent the attitude of approximately 3,000.000 women affiliated with the Federation through their local clubs. Attending from Indiana are to be Mrs. Frederick G. Balz, Indiana Federation of Clubs president; Mrs. Edwin I. Poston, Martinsville; Mrs. Robert A. Hicks, Cambridge City; Mrs. George R. Dillinger, French Lick; Mrs. Allan S. Courtney, Fort Wayne; Mrs. Paul C. Miller, Mount Summit; Mrs. Arthur Jacques, Poseyville, and Mrs. George A. Van Dyke and Mrs. W. C. Bartholomew of Indianapolis. One resolution is expected to urge that appropriations for the state de partment be increased, “as a para mount necessity to combat the in creasing threat of war.” Another is to call for wild life conservation and restoration through "co-operation with state and Federal govern mental agencies in concrete, con structive action” and through the promotion of a “definite education program.” Disney Bill Support Urged Indorsement of the principle and general purpose of the bill intro duced by Rep. Wesley E. Disney (Okla.) to establish a National Academy of Public Affairs to edu cate and train women and men for public service in national and in ternational affairs also is to be asked. Adoption of the uniform vehicle code, indorsed by the National Con ference on Street and Highway Safety is to be recommended to the various states in a resolution which further is to recommend the study and adoption of the model traffic ordinances plan, as indorsed by the same conference. Three resolutions are to deal with crime prevention and correction. One is to urge member federations and clubs to work for the adoption by their state legislatures of inter state compacts for co-operative ef fort in enforcement of criminal laws. Indorsement Is Asked Another calls for indorsement of a four-point program for reorgani zation of correctional institutions and agencies. The program calls for the abolition of the old Jail sys tem, substituting adequate houses of detention and industrial farms under state control. It asks also for rehabilitation of prisoners through classification, edu cation and industrial training, and maintenance of the principle that the prisoner shall receive all profits accruing from his labor after de duction of the cost of his keep, and a provision that prison products shall not enter into unfair compe tition with products of free indus try. The fourth point of the program asks a parole system for the prison er whose release will best serve the interests of society, under such su pervision as shall .insure to him a fair chance of becoming a law abiding member of the community. Study to Be Advocated Member federations and clubs also are to be asked to study their community facilities, and endeavor to overcome inadequacies of agen cies for crime prevention, and pro mote full co-operation of all such agencies. In addition to voting on these resolutions, delegates are to be asked to reaffirm their stand on other measures. One is favoring United States membership in the League of Nations "with the pro vision that the United States shall not be obliged to adopt measures which might involve the use of armed force, or be contrary to our commitments under the Kellogg Pact.” The pending Child Labor amend ment, already indorsed by the Gen eral Federation in principle, is to be voted on again. Subtle Makeup Required With Spring Colors BY ALICIA HART Chinese reds and greens, impor tant in the fashion picture for spring, call for subtle, almost pale makeup. Since these shades are vivid, it seems to me that it would be a mistake to try to rival their brightness with flamboyant cos metics. Your powder should match your natural skin tones, of courae, but rouge ought to be the shade your cheeks become after a few minutes of light—not strenuous—exercise. Lipstick ought to carry out the same subtle theme. It may be worth while to try orangish East Indian rouge and lip stick shades with your ga.vly colored dresses. They are flattering to some skins. Anyway, they certainly won't steal any of your costume color’s thunder. With the new spring yellows, especially tulip, vivid makeup prob ably will be Just right. Try bright rouge, skillfully applied, and even brighter lipstick. If your skin has a good deal of yellow in it. get foun dation lotion and powder which do not emphasize these tones. Better pick types that play down the yellow lights. Or else don’t buy’ a yellow dreskt Nary blue and black are becoming to almost all women. However, both are more flattering if trimmed with white collars, jabots or other white next-to-the-face touches. Unless you are a tall, very sophisticated type, black, completely unrelieved, is rather difficult, often tending to bring out every shadow and line. However, with a white lingerie col lar, a black dress always is smart. Rushees Entertained Rusheea were entertained by Beta Zeta Chapter, Lambda Chi Omega Sorority, last night at a dinner in the Sheffield Inn. Mrs. William Watts, chairman, was assisted by Mrs. Harold Jackson, Mrs. Norman Wampoer and Miss Sadie Rhinefort.

BY PROF. C. H. NISSLEY Extension Horticulturist, N. J. College of Agriculture and Experiment Station, Rutgers University. THE real key to growing fine vegetables lies in the seed cat alog. High quality seed purchased from a reliable seed house will make those hours spent in weeding seem time well spent when your meals are en hanced by fresh peas, tender beans, and firm, sweet tomatoes, fresh from the vine. Cheap seeds may be so old that there is no life left in them, or they may be of a badly mixed va riety unfit for LI || M Dr. Nissley , , ‘ planting. Since it helps to know the names of varieties which other gardeners have found satisfactory, some of them are listed here. Hybrid sweet corn varieties like the top cross bantam or golden cross bantam are resistant to a common disease called “wilt.” The ears are 7 to 8 inches long and have golden kernels. The bountiful bean is tender and flat, and the tendergreen is a string less round-podded variety. If you have a fence for it, the Kentucky wonder is a good climbing variety. The crosby s Egyptian beet is an early spring beet of quality, and the Detroit dark red is a late or fall variety. v m m THE marion market cabbage is resistant to the dreaded “yel lows” disease and matures early. Where the disease is not serious, the golden acre variety is pre ferred by many. Late varieties of cabbage, as the danish ballhead or flat dutch, should be selected for kraut or for winter storage pur poses. If your ground is heavy, a short growing carrot like the oxheart should be planted, and if your soil is a loam to a sandy loam, then a longer type carrot, such as the chantenay, will grow well there. A few hills of cucumbers in the garden will supply an ample quan tity for the family. The early fortune or any of the w r hite spine varieties will grow fairly large for slicing and salads. They make good pickles, too, if picked young. Dependable very early varieties of lettuce are the New York or wonderful, an iceberg type, and the big boston, the butter type. The grand rapids variety will ! supply your table during the hot i summer months. This is a loose- i leaf lettuce, and generally can be grown during the entire season. • m THERE are many varities of peas, but the world’s record, the Little Marvel, and the Laxtonian, are the most popular of the small growing varieties. it comes to peppers, the Co-eds Take Home-Making Seriously in Their Butler Management Class inis n I I • v ** c "*' * I ’9f9BIpL- - p ...

BY ELIZABETH CARR A family’s evenings shouldn’t be given over to nagging or telling the children what not to do. They should be concerned with discus sions of what kind of a vacation the whole family can have on $25 or where Junior and Mary should go to college. Students in Miss Ida B. Wilhite's household management class at Butler University are agreed on these points, and one other: That girls need training in managing a home as well as in English gram mar. •^WWIPft'-^^gisft:>gggS3flßSS£3Bßßßß3^S3gßai world beater and the California wonder are good producers. The scarlet globe radish fqj early planting, and the icicle variety for summer and early planting are rec ommended. Spinach is a spring and fall crop and can not be grown during the heat of the summer. For a spring crop, the regular Savoy variety is recommended, and for the late crop, the Virginia Savoy or the Old Do minion varieties. Tomatoes of the highest quality are the Marglobe, the Pritchard and the Rutgers. For a pink tomato, the globe and the acme are good. The Pritchard variety does not lend itself to staking purposes. Turnips are a good family vege table. They mature in about 50 to 70 days and may be stored throughout the winter. The purple top globe is a white-flesh variety; golden ball or Aberdeen are yellow-flesh varities. Next—How to start plants early. Prepare for Home Show A man’s idea of a man's garden is to be exemplified in the Haw thorne Garden Club's exhibit at the Indianapolis Home Show April 16 to 26 in the Manufacturers’ building at the Fairground. Clyde Bower is ar ranging the display. Themes have been selected by nine other garden groups. Monday, April 21. is to be State Garden Clubs’ Day, according to Mrs. Eu gene Foley, garden committee chair man and member of the Home Show board of directors representing the garden clubs. Indianapolis garden clubs are sponsoring advance ticket sales. Clubs, exhibit chairmen and themes are: Arbutus. Mrs.. Carl Helm, “Trail's; End’’; Emerson Grove. Mrs. H. P. Willwerth. "The Peaceful Garden "; j Forest Hills, Mrs. Rex. P. Young. “The Moonlight Garden”; Marigold, Mrs. David Fox, "Wildflower Gar den”; Neophyte, Mrs. R. H.

They pool their ideas about what they want to study and what they be lieve they should know to manage a household properly. “The object,” according to Miss Wilhite, home economics depart department head, “is to bring to the girls realization that housekeeping is a business regulated by economic and social laws. “It requires a study of the na ture of countless managerial deci sions that must be made, study of Contrast in choice of seed. Up per picture shows what happens when poor seed is used. The beets are poor in shape and color, and some turned out to be Swiss chard. The radishes in the lower picture are from high quality seed, healthy and uniform in shape and color. Mrs. Minor S. Goulding, “The Mir ror Garden”; Spade and Trowel, Mrs. A. G.

What should I know about managing a home? What should I k low about co-operation of the family in pleas ure and in work?” the girls ask. And they mean to find the answers. Department stores are the labo ratories for learning the procedure of “better buymanship.” The group, accompanied by the instructor takes a trip to a store. Here the clerks show sweepers, refrigerators, stoves and other articles of use in the home and tell the girls just what to look for in buying such merchandise. Study Income Management Income management is another step. One class member knew four girls who contemplated setting up a group household. The class took it over as a project —investigated the housing situa tion, worked out an equipment and a grocery list and a tentative budget. Collateral reading in magazines, newspapers and books and lectures on linens, clothing and other fea tures concerned with homemaking enter into the program. The first part of each lesson is occupied by a talk by Miss Wilhite, followed by informal discussion of problems or current events bearing upon class topics. “This is the third year for the elective course,” Miss Wilhite ex plains, “and the methods vary with each group. Perhaps one class takes up projects in great detail and an other won’t have any use for de tail. But they all take a sane at titude toward home-making.” Gordon Crystal Clear Hosiery 3 Pairs $2.25 $ Ton’ll like the I sheerness and | attractive shades .*£,. ;3 T| presented by this ™ / famous maker of durable and fashionable bos iery.

Urges Federal Cabinet Position for Fine Arts Times Special NEW YORK, April I.—Mrs. John Alexander Jardine, Fargo, N. D., National Federation of Music Clubs president, who is attending the organization’s convention here, is to repeat her request for a Fed eral secretaryship of fine arts when Screen Player Has Food Tips for Hostesses “Three-decker sandwiches for tea time is an idea for the worried hostess who is looking for something new to serve her guests,” declares Ann Harding, star of the forthcom ing film drama, “The Witness Chair.” “Sandwiches to be served at a party should have color and variety,” the star explained. “Color is fairly simple. Use many kinds of bread, white, whole-wheat, dark brown and nut bread. Garnish them with olive slices, nuts, pimiento. “Variety, however, is a little harder to achieve. That is why I suggest three-deckers. They are a little un expected at tea. Use very thin bread, remove the crusts and cut the sandwiches quite small.” Thick sandwiches also have their place at tea, according to Miss Harding. She cuts fresh bread in cubes measuring a trifle more than an inch on each side. Round “wells” are cut into these cubes and filled with peanut butter, cheese, meat mixtures, jam or jelly. Then the cube is toasted. “Here is another sandwich I like,” the star continued. “Prepare a mix ture of sugar, chopped nuts and some spice, possibly cinnamon. But ter the bread, dust with this mix ture and brown. Serve hot.” Parking your motor car needn’t be such a problem!
