George Dennys Soon Are to ‘See Things’ Over U. S. in Custom Built Trailer Children to Learn First Hand What It Means to See Sun Set on Mountain Top, as They Travel Across Nation. BY BEATRICE BIRGAN Society Editor CHRISTOPHER and Linda Denny are going to learn first hand what it means*to see the sun set on a mountain top. They won’t have to visit a zoo to learn about wild animals; they are going to discover them in the countryside, and watch the creatures in their native haunts. Three-year-old Chris and year-and-half-old Linda are to come in lose rvmtact with nature as they travel across the country in a trailer witn their parents, Mr. and Mrs. George H. Denny, and their nurse. me Dennys avowedly are tired of "buying coal and then breath- 2*? ing it.’ “While we are young and before the children become involved in the routine of school, we ant to see things,” Mrs. Denny explains. “We are going to follow the sunshine. We aren't deciding on any route. We intend to stop wherever the scenery and the surroundings attract us. If we don't like it, we will move along.” Mrs. Denny nas experienced the excitement of a young bride planning her new home in suggesting ideas for their custom built trailer. The trailer isn’t an ordi- nary one. With the assistance of an interior decorator, she has furnished it with as much care as she would a permanent home. Miss Burgan The beds are disguised when folded by terracotta covers. The walls are dusk color, and the curtains are green, to soften the glare of the southwest sun. The linoleum covering the floor is of plaid design—green and terracotta. The cooking compartment is as compact as a ship-galley, with its 50-pound ice box, stove and cup- boards, holding bakelite dishes. The stove is capable of heating the trail- er to a temperature of 75 degrees when necessary. A 20-gallon tank is to provide the trailer with running water. Elec- tricity from the battery is to supply current for the percolator, toaster and iron, so that the travelers are to be independent of tourist camps. a a a The Dennys are fascinated by the gadgets and buttons which by push- ing and pulling turn things into something else. A panel conceals the wardrobe, with hat racks at the top and shoe racks at the bottom. "It was a problem to limit the wardrobe for five persons,” Mrs. Denny lamented. "But we think we have succeeded in providing cloth- ing for all types of weather.” The dressing table has a triple cut mirror. The lights are backed by mirror reflectors. A radio is to keep the travelers in touch with the world as they journey across the country. Brass screens cover the eight windows and the door. a tt a A telephone connection has been installed between the trailer and j the automobile to be used to tow it. I The Dennys are to include in | their luggage several favorite toys i for the children, a typewriter, a ! camera, a small reference library, a gun and fishing tackle. On their way to Florida, they expect to stop at Mobile to visit Marietta Johnson Progressive School, where Mrs. Denny once was a student. From Florida they ex- pect to motor through the south- west to New Mexico and California, ar and on through the dude ranch territory.

Solution in next issue. 30 Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League TO make six or seven no trump usually is difficult, unless there is a long suit to work with. It takes a lot of high cards to make 12 or 13 tricks. If one hand holds a predom- inance of high cards and partner has a long suit, the ten-ace cards of the shorter suits may be turned into tricks by the aid of a squeeze or end play. Os course, an end play can not be resorted to at a seven contract. In today’s hand, while North has a lot of high cards, he tan not do any constructive bidding until he finds out whether South has a real club suit and if it con- tains at least five cards, which :s shewn by the rebid of clubs. The opening lead is the three of diamonds. When East goes up with the king, South wins with the ace. Now, with the long club suit, it looks as though a squeeze should be developed, so declarer proceeds to run off the clubs. East has to retain three spades and three hearts: therefore he is forced to discard all his dia- monds. Now, the fact that East has not discarded a heart marks him with the queen, and declarer would be foolish to take the heart finesse. ?

Declarer’s best play is to cash his ace of spades and then lead a small spade to the king. Now dummy's last spade can be led. East is forced to win and, of course, must now lead into dum- my’s ace-king and jack of hearts, thereby giving declarer his con- tract. (Copyright, 1936, by NEA Service, Inc.)

BY ELIZABETH CARR Todays farm offers its boys and girls as great or a greater oppor- tunity than the industrial world, in the opinion of Horace E. Abbott, Marion County agricultural agent. The old saying of "more oppor- tunities away from home,” is being challenged by vocational agriculture, 4-H club activities and by records kept of farming projects. These, together with better roads, radios and more thickly populated rural districts, are conducive to making youth more content to stay on the farm, Mr. Abbott said. Emphasis is to be placed on these improved opportunities by Indiana Farm Bureau women in their an- nual meeting Feb. 27 and 28 at the Claypool. The program to be out- lined at this meeting is intended to induce young people now living on farms to remain there, Mrs. Lil- lie D. Scott, board chairman, point- ed out yesterday. Mr. Abbott called attention to the fact that within the last year there has been a greater tendency for boys to take up farming as a pro- fession, saying that during the de- pression, when farm purchasing power was not good, few boys chose fa ning as a vocation. ‘‘The younger generation realizes advantages of modern methods. Farm boys now keep records and grow varieties of farm produce which have a greater yield than those grown in former years. I know several boys who have produced twice as much corn as their fathers did on the same amount of land, with the same amount of grain,” Mr. Abbott said. Realize Farm Possibilities Several years ago the importance of interesting boys in farm work was not considered, but with rea- lization of farming possibilities in- terest has increased, Mr. Abbott pointed out. Two thousand boys and girls in Marion County are enrolled in 4-H clubs in which they discuss their farm problems, conduct contests, submit reports, hold business meet- ings and enjoy social activities. “Os course we need the boys and girls on the farms,” Mr. Abbott added, "but we don’t need them all. If a boy is more interested in air- craft, then let him take up that line of work for his career. Just bring before the rural youth the possibil- ity of farming. Then, if he isn’t [interested and doesn’t want to stay on the farm, he should follow an- other career.” St. John’s Lists Honor Students for All Classes Honor students for the quarter have been announced by St. John’s Academy. First honors in the jun- ior class went to Dorothy Schmitz and, Estelle Mayer- In the sopho- more class first honors were award- ed to Mary Kasper, Alfrieda Litzel- man, Rose Mary Odiet, Frances Wade, Margaret Wade, Margaret Wilson and Catherine Dwyer. Freshmen receiving first honors were Margaret McCarthy, Deette McGrath, Rita Fahy, Margaret Tay- lor, Evelyn Devers and Clara Burk- hart. Second honors follow: Seniors, Mary Dugan, Dorothy Smith and Pauline Taylor; juniors, Helen O’Brien and Anna Stritt; sopho- mores, Helen Van Benton and Mary Manley; freshmen, Catherine Love, Mary Cooke, Lucille Prieshoff, Flor- ence Fillenwarth, Dorothy Steiner, Anna O’Brien, Dorothy Hahn.

Indianapolis League of Women Voters’ executive committee today made a preliminary study of 15 gov- ernmental of public inter- est which are to be featured in the league's national program during the next two years.

Following a three months’ study by all local leagues formal action is to be taken at the national con- vention in Cincinnati April 28 to May 1, Miss Marguerite M. Wells, national president, has announced. Subjects Are Listed Included among the subjects are: Qualified personnel in government service; a co-ordinated Federal, state and local system of taxation; reorganization of government to promote efficient administration, in- cluding the municipal manager plan and county and state reorganization; sufficient and scientifically appor- tioned public funds for public edu- cation; larger units for school taxa- tion and administration, and child Brookside Club Meets "Indianapolis, 100 Years Old,” was Miss Julia H.

Marott Dances Arc Set Dinner dances are to be held at the Marott from 8:30 to 12:30 each Saturday night, George J. Marott, president, announced today. > MW DAY By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt , yy r HITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON—I had an afternoon reception yesterday from 4 till 5. The date and the time are of little consequence, but the people you meet are. After you have shaken hands with everybody, gone into the dining room and walked around, the casual conversations WRS& you hold are really entertaining. Sometimes it is just some nice person who takes you by the hand and says “Please tell the President how grateful we are for what he has done. 1 * Sometimes a lady catches my hand and says: “You really look nicer than your photographs.” Which is a little hard on the newspaper photographers, but very pleasant for me. Or you come to a group and have a conversation somewhat like the following: "I think I should like to live in the White House for one year. You look as though you enjoyed it so much, Mrs. Roosevelt.” I respond that I find a great many things of interest and my lady answers, “Well, you know. Mrs. Cool- idge was asked before she left how she liked it here, Mrs. Roosevelt and she said it had been a lovely experience.” I have lived here long enough to know that Mrs. Coolidge in all probability never made that remark, but if she did, it was a "chef d' oeuvre in the way of being noncommittal. A lady told me yeste 'day that she had a photograph of my father taken years ago in Abingdon, Va., and with a little girl I remember w'ell. Miriam Trigg was the name of the girl in the picture, and when I was eight I felt as if I knew her because she could ride her pony with my father while I was in the North at school. Then, too, people remind me about letters they have written. Luckily I have a fairly good memory for letters and am not often caught off guard. Now and then I feel a little as I did about a letter which came to me when my husband was Governor of New York State, and which began: “Dear Mrs. Roosevelt—l am the farmer's wife who wrote you last year about an old-age pension The farmer's wife, poor dear, I had several hundred farmers’ wives write on the same subject. mmim Did you know , . , the KEE-RAE Beauty Shop has moved into Ray- mond Thompson’s former location?

George Dennys Soon Areto ‘See Things’ Over U. S.

in Custom Built TrailerChildren to Learn First Hand What It Means

to See Sun Set on Mountain Top,

as They Travel Across Nation.BY BEATRICE BIRGAN

Society Editor

CHRISTOPHER and Linda Denny are going to learn first hand whatit means*to see the sun set on a mountain top. They won’t have to

visit a zoo to learn about wild animals; they are going to discover themin the countryside, and watch the creatures in their native haunts.

Three-year-old Chris and year-and-half-old Linda are to come in• lose rvmtact with nature as they travel across the country in a trailerwitn their parents, Mr. and Mrs. George H. Denny, and their nurse.

me Dennys avowedly are tired of "buying coal and then breath-

2*?ing it.’

“While we are young and before the children becomeinvolved in the routine of school, we ant to see things,”Mrs. Denny explains.

“We are going to follow the sunshine. We aren't

deciding on any route. We intend to stop wherever thescenery and the surroundings attract us. If we don'tlike it, we will move along.”

Mrs. Denny nas experienced the excitement of ayoung bride planning her new home in suggesting ideasfor their custom built trailer. The trailer isn’t an ordi-nary one. With the assistance of an interior decorator,she has furnished it with as much care as she would apermanent home.

Miss Burgan

The beds are disguised when folded by terracotta covers. The wallsare dusk color, and the curtains are green, to soften the glare of thesouthwest sun. The linoleum covering the floor is of plaid design—greenand terracotta.

The cooking compartment is as compact as a ship-galley, with its50-pound ice box, stove and cup-boards, holding bakelite dishes. Thestove is capable of heating the trail-er to a temperature of 75 degreeswhen necessary.

A 20-gallon tank is to provide thetrailer with running water. Elec-tricity from the battery is to supply

current for the percolator, toasterand iron, so that the travelers areto be independent of tourist camps.

a a aThe Dennys are fascinated by the

gadgets and buttons which by push-ing and pulling turn things intosomething else. A panel concealsthe wardrobe, with hat racks at thetop and shoe racks at the bottom.

"It was a problem to limit thewardrobe for five persons,” Mrs.Denny lamented. "But we think wehave succeeded in providing cloth-ing for all types of weather.”

The dressing table has a triplecut mirror. The lights are backedby mirror reflectors. A radio is tokeep the travelers in touch with theworld as they journey across thecountry. Brass screens cover theeight windows and the door.

a tt aA telephone connection has been

installed between the trailer and jthe automobile to be used to tow it. I

The Dennys are to include in |their luggage several favorite toys ifor the children, a typewriter, a !camera, a small reference library, agun and fishing tackle.

On their way to Florida, theyexpect to stop at Mobile to visitMarietta Johnson ProgressiveSchool, where Mrs. Denny once wasa student. From Florida they ex-pect to motor through the south-west to New Mexico and California,ar and on through the dude ranchterritory.

Solution to PreviousContract ProblemBY W. E. M’KENNEY

Secretary American Bridge League

TO make six or seven no trump

usually is difficult, unlessthere is a long suit to work with.It takes a lot of high cards tomake 12 or 13 tricks.

If one hand holds a predom-inance of high cards and partnerhas a long suit, the ten-ace cardsof the shorter suits may be turnedinto tricks by the aid of a squeezeor end play. Os course, an endplay can not be resorted to at aseven contract.

In today’s hand, while Northhas a lot of high cards, he tannot do any constructive biddinguntil he finds out whether Southhas a real club suit and if it con-tains at least five cards, which :sshewn by the rebid of clubs.

The opening lead is the threeof diamonds. When East goes upwith the king, South wins withthe ace. Now, with the long clubsuit, it looks as though a squeezeshould be developed, so declarerproceeds to run off the clubs.

East has to retain three spadesand three hearts: therefore he isforced to discard all his dia-monds.

Now, the fact that East has notdiscarded a heart marks him withthe queen, and declarer would befoolish to take the heart finesse.

East also has been protectingspades.

Declarer’s best play is to cashhis ace of spades and then lead asmall spade to the king. Nowdummy's last spade can be led.

East is forced to win and, ofcourse, must now lead into dum-my’s ace-king and jack of hearts,thereby giving declarer his con-tract.(Copyright, 1936, by NEA Service, Inc.)

Farms Offer !Youth GreatOpportunity

Farm Bureau Women toStress Possibilities

at Meeting Here.BY ELIZABETH CARR

Todays farm offers its boys and

girls as great or a greater oppor-

tunity than the industrial world, inthe opinion of Horace E. Abbott,Marion County agricultural agent.

The old saying of "more oppor-tunities away from home,” is beingchallenged by vocational agriculture,4-H club activities and by recordskept of farming projects. These,together with better roads, radiosand more thickly populated ruraldistricts, are conducive to makingyouth more content to stay on thefarm, Mr. Abbott said.

Emphasis is to be placed on theseimproved opportunities by IndianaFarm Bureau women in their an-nual meeting Feb. 27 and 28 at theClaypool. The program to be out-lined at this meeting is intendedto induce young people now livingon farms to remain there, Mrs. Lil-lie D. Scott, board chairman, point-ed out yesterday.

Mr. Abbott called attention to thefact that within the last year therehas been a greater tendency forboys to take up farming as a pro-fession, saying that during the de-pression, when farm purchasingpower was not good, few boys chosefa ning as a vocation.

‘‘The younger generation realizesadvantages of modern methods.Farm boys now keep records andgrow varieties of farm producewhich have a greater yield thanthose grown in former years. I knowseveral boys who have producedtwice as much corn as their fathersdid on the same amount of land,with the same amount of grain,”Mr. Abbott said.

Realize Farm PossibilitiesSeveral years ago the importance

of interesting boys in farm workwas not considered, but with rea-lization of farming possibilities in-terest has increased, Mr. Abbottpointed out.

Two thousand boys and girls inMarion County are enrolled in 4-Hclubs in which they discuss theirfarm problems, conduct contests,submit reports, hold business meet-ings and enjoy social activities.

“Os course we need the boys andgirls on the farms,” Mr. Abbottadded, "but we don’t need them all.If a boy is more interested in air-craft, then let him take up that lineof work for his career. Just bringbefore the rural youth the possibil-ity of farming. Then, if he isn’t[interested and doesn’t want to stayon the farm, he should follow an-other career.”

MW DAYBy Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt

,yyr HITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON—I had an afternoonreception yesterday from 4 till 5. The date and the

time are of little consequence, but the people you meet are.

After you have shaken hands with everybody, gone into thedining room and walked around, the casual conversations

WRS&

you hold are really entertaining.

Sometimes it is just some nice personwho takes you by the hand and says “Please tell the

President how grateful we are for what he has done. 1 *

Sometimes a lady catches my hand and says:

“You really look nicer than your photographs.” Whichis a little hard on the newspaper photographers, butvery pleasant for me.

Or you come to a group and have a conversation

somewhat like the following: "I think I should like

to live in the White House for one year. You look

as though you enjoyed it so much, Mrs. Roosevelt.”

I respond that I find a great many things of interest

and my lady answers, “Well, you know. Mrs. Cool-

idge was asked before she left how she liked it here,Mrs. Roosevelt

and she said it had been a lovely experience.” I have lived here long

enough to know that Mrs. Coolidge in all probability never made that

remark, but if she did, it was a "chef d' oeuvre in the way of being

noncommittal.A lady told me yeste 'day that she had a photograph of my father

taken years ago in Abingdon, Va., and with a little girl I remember w'ell.Miriam Trigg was the name of the girl in the picture, and when I was

eight I felt as if I knew her because she could ride her pony with my

father while I was in the North at school.Then, too, people remind me about letters they have written. Luckily

I have a fairly good memory for letters and am not often caught off

guard.

Now and then I feel a little as I did about a letter which came tome when my husband was Governor of New York State, and whichbegan:

“Dear Mrs. Roosevelt—l am the farmer's wife who wrote you last

year about an old-age pension ”

The farmer's wife, poor dear, I had several hundred farmers’ wiveswrite on the same subject.
