THE IXDIAXAPOLIS STAR, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1930. NEW OFFICERS. WASSON'S City's Unemployment Situation Is Serious, Social Worker Says BY KATHRYX E. TICKETT. RICHARD CADBURY of the Family Welfare Society said yesterday that the unemployment situation is the heaviest in the history of the society and that January relief work was twice as heavy as that a year ago.

Mr. Cadbury addressed a luncheon-meeting of the Indianapolis Council of Women at the Brookslde United Brethren Church in response to a letter from the council concerning the relationship between the Community Fund and the society. One hundred and seven members attended. I If Your Legs Are This Short Why Buy Hose This Long and forceful to carry us for seventy-eight years through the vicissitudes of peace and war, and all the great industries of our state, and all our rights and liberties have been shielded and safeguarded under its protecting care." In response to a letter that had been sent by the council to Representative Louis Ludlow asking him to help bring the new veterans' hospital here, a letter was read from Mr. Ludlow assuring the women that he would do all in his power.

Mrs. A. B. Glick, president, presided. The Rev.

Forrest A. Reed, pastor of the church, gave the invocation. Mrs. Logan Hughes, a member of the education and child welfare committee of which Mrs. I.

E. Rush is chairman, told of the work that various Parent Teacher Associations are doing in the way of providing hot luncheons at some of the schools and milk at others, and aiding in the care of a number of needy families. Opposed to Convention. Franklin McCray, attorney and former judge, expressed opposition to holding a constitutional convention. "Our constitution has been in force since 1852," said Mr.

McCray. "It has been sufficiently flexible, with few amendments, to meet the emergencies arising in the most progressive age the world has known, and yet, it has been sufficiently concrete Would you deliberately buy "opera length" stockings today Would you want hose that are so long- they have to be folded over, and over to fasten them? Would you want the constant struggle of keeping them up? Of course not! You know that long stockings are a nuisance and short stockings are uncomfortable. You want your stockings to fit in the length as well aa in the foot size. And that's why Gordon makes Individually Proportioned Hose! They took thousands of measurements to determine the three types of women, and made stockings to fit them. There are Regal hose for tall women, Princess hose for average women, and Petite hose for short women.

to another one of Maggie's red-plush dinners this night. Not with Dinty Moore's kitchen within reach. Caviar, pate de foie gras, little frilly dabs of this and that. Ugh, his soul and, hungry tummy rebelled. Just then something happened.

Up from the scullery wafted a gentle aroma. Jiggs, incredulous, stopped in his tracks. The frown on his face faded and in its place there spread the beatific smile of one of the angelic host. His eyes looked unseeing into space and were filled with the calf sweetness of Rafael himself. Peace and joy overspread his countenance like the rising sun o'erspreading the sea.

"Liver and onions." His nose twitched in happy anticipation. Then his joy outburst in its bounds and he rushed to embrace Maggie. "Maggie, me darlin'," he cried. "Liver and onions. Ain't ye the sweetest." A young woman asks: "What is the difference between an old maid and a bachelor girl?" It is psychological.

It Is a state of mind. It Is the difference between I can not and I will not. It is the difference between taking your choice and balked desire. It is the difference between being envied and being pitied. The old maid, as a species, is almost as extinct as the dodo.

Of course, Maggie may have done just that. Maggie couldn't be all red-plush, do you think? Don't you imagine she sometimes secretly pines Tor the plain old dishes she u'sed to delight in before she acquired a butler that had to be lived up to? I feel sure of it.

But being on such intimate terms with Maggie all these years, and having had her most secret thoughts and soul-yearnings, as it were pictured in such detail, we wonder if liver and onions on Maggie's table was not the result of the new place of importance which liver enjoys in the hierarchy of loods. it really has turned out to be a prince in disguise, you know. Value Discovered. There has been no discovery in the field of dietetics within the last decade which can approach in importance the discovery of the almost miraculous value of liver. In children's hospitals I have watched little waifs of the rich and poor alike come in with feeble, wobbly little pipestem legs, long listless dangly arms, sunken bloodless faces from which looked out quiet eyes that were haggard and old and world weary.

Underweight, undernourished, subnormal, anemic little bodies which could not be made to grow and blossom and dance with the joy of childhood. And I have watched these same little bodies, fed with liver and liver extract, begin to expand and glow, the little legs grow plump and sturdy and begin to run. The scrawny arms grow round. The faces prow round. The faces grow rosy and dimply and the eyes dance like merry elves on a sunlit meadow.

The same miracle is performed by this homely magician for the grownups, too. There are the extreme tion proclamation. a woman had no way of making an honest living for herself. She was forced to be the fringe on some family that did not want her and she was supposed to need a chaperon up to her ninetieth birthday. Such being the case, it was obvious that the chief aim and object of every woman's life was to secure a husband as soon as possible, and when one failed to marry the inference was that she was so lacking In attractions that no man would have her.

Thus did the term "old maid" become a stigma that was even as the brand of Cain on a woman, and the old maid come to be looked upon with mingled pity and contempt. The old maid was a product of the past. The bachelor girl Is the output of this sophisticated modern age. It is significant that the appelation "old maid" has become practically obsolete and one rarely hears It used except In rural communities. Neither is she tagged as a girl bachelor.

Her marital state Is so unimportant It Is not even mentioned. The old maid, then, was a woman whoVanted to marry but couldn't. The bachelor girl is a woman who for good and sufficient reasons of her own does not desire to marry. Perhaps she is a woman who is celibate by nature. Perhaps Mr.

Right has not come along and she will not take any makeshift husband just for the sake of being married. Perhaps she prefers to espouse a career to a husband and would rather make a name for herself than to take any man s. Perhaps making money appeals to her more than romance.

SPROULE, chairman of the picture committee of the Indianapolis branch of the Indiana cases which bear the title of pernicious anemia. These are the poor, bloodless dears who have been drinking daily quarts of milk and gorging quota of butter and eggs and cereals and thick steaks in an effort to build up. But it seems to no avail. Every day, it seems, they are weaker and paler and more gaunt. And every visit to the laboratory shows fewer and fewer of the precious red cells in the blood.

Borderline Cases. Then there are the borderline cases. And aren't they legion? Those many, many of us who are tired all the time, and listless, and yawny, and and a little hard to get along with. Those who feel that the slightest effort of body or mind requires a gigantic effort of the will. Those to whom life is a struggle scarcely worth while and its most profound philosopher our little dusky friend who maintains "There ain't no use o' nothin' nohow." The liver diet changes all that.

For the sufferer from pernicious anemia it offers the one most certain avenue of escape. Through its use he will be enabled to assimilate the eggs and cereals and steaks and gradually the little figures in the laboratory will change and the precious red cells will be there in new found thousands. It isn't vain oratory to say that he will have been snatched from the grave and these others the weary hordes who aren't quite equal to their tasks, and to whom the world is always faintly overcast with blue they, too, will take on a new vigor and a new philosophy of life. I dare say even Maggie's uncertain disposition would soften and grow sweet and her knees and cheekbones a little less knobby. In my next article I shall explain just how this miracle is performed by the use of liver.

The beauty of the hair depends absolutely upon the supply of rich, healthy blood to the scalp. Many complexion blemishes, sallowness and flabbiness can be overcome only when the blood circulates freely through all parts of the body.

It takes imagination for the average woman to see that a poor, sallow skin, lusterless hair, facial wrinkles, dull eyes and lack of pep and mc-cess in her daily work are traceable to lack of regular exercise, insufficient fresh air and improper breathing. The right sort of exercise and fresh air and relaxation ward off old man Time and keep the body and mind alert and youthful. This is the reason why all professional beauties, screen stars and successful business men and women exercise regularly. But muscles that are unused to vigorous exercise should not be forced to do a great amount without previous preparation. If they are, they become stiff and sore, so that one is ternnted to give up exercise.

It is better "to start with a few simple exercises every day until the muscles are and stronger before attempting 'ne more strenuous Ones.

Mrs. Herbert Warfel of Chicago, 111., music lecturer and pianist, gave the program last night for the annual dinner-meeiing of the Century Club, held at the Propylaeum. D. T. Weir, president, presided and covers were laid for forty-five members and guests.

"Opera Highlights" was the subject of Mrs. Warfel's entertainment, in which sh3 discussed "different operas by means of historic sketches illustrated with songr. "Many of the groat melodies of opera are as familiar to us as "Dixie" and "The Star-Spangled Banner," but we are unaware of their operatic origin," Mrs. AVarfel stated. She also sketched the history of the opera movement from its beginning in 1600, when a group of noblemen met in Florence to discuss heightening the expressiveness of dramatic action by the use of music, to modern American opera.

She illustrated the lecture at the piano with selections from many operas including Handel's "Larso" from the opera "Xerxes," excerpts of "Don Giovanni" by Mozart anri familiar melodies by Donizetti, A'erdi, and AA'agner. "It is not easy to determine the first opera created in our country," she said in tracing American development in opera. "In the earlier operas many of the songs were fitted to melodies already popular as folk tunes. As early as 1750 there was a growing tendency toward works by individual composers.

She ts free to go and come as she pleases and to set up her own home without fear of scandal, and because everybody knows that she could either take marriage or leave it, the fact that she remains unmarried is no reflection on her charms. The old maid was often sour and disgruntled, one in whom all the milk of human kindness had turned to clabber, and she was filled with a bitter enmity toward the men who had passed her over. Also, she revenged herself on a society that made her a jeering and a hissing by stabbing it in the back with a malicious tongue that cut shaper and deeper than a two-edged sword. Hence, the old maid was feared and disliked and about as popular as a pot of poison. Far otherwise Is it with the bachelor girl.

She has chosen the role In life she preferred and is happy and content with her lot. She cherishes no grudge against men, and while she does not want to marry any one of them, she values and enjoys their comradeship and Is a man-lover rather than a man-hater.

You will find no women more alert, more entertaining, jollier or more agreeable than the bachelor girls and none who are more sought after by hostesses for dinner parties. The old maid was a firebrand In every community. She ran a gossip manufactory. She was the self-appointed mentor of morals. She made mountains out of molehills and widened the rift between friends into an unbridgable gulf.

Having no business of her own, she made everybody's business her affair. Having no Interests of her own, she listened at every keyhole and poked her nose into everji -trnrS secrets. The bachelor girl is too much occupied living her own life to have leisure to regulate any one else's. She is so busy going somewhere herself she hasn't time to watch the step of hor neiehbors. She isn't half so con- cerned about how the Thompsons get along together as about how she can get along with a crotchety boss.

The old maid was regarded as a total loss to her family. It was because Mary would be a millstone around the necks of the family as long as she lived if she didn't marry that made families rush a girl Into the arms of the first man who looked willing. Every married brother and sister looked forward with dread to the time when father and mother would die and they would have an old maid sister wished upon them. The bachelor girl is not looked upon as a liability, but as an asset, for not only does she refuse to go to live with her married brothers and sisters, but she is an ever-present refuge in times of trouble, and it is to her that they appeal when they are behind with the rent and the baby needs new shoes and the grocer is getting ugly. And it is the Aunt Sallys and Cousin Sues with no husband or children of their own who are putting a lot of ambitious boys through college and buying party frocks for pretty girls.

And, lastly but not least, the difference between the old maid and the bachelor girl is that girls used to marry men that they didn't love to keep from being old maids and now a lot of girls are turning down men they do like because they prefer to be bachelor girls.
