Capt. Thomas j. Jackson, AZ, arrested
yesterday on a charge of attempted
criminal assault upon a Takoma Park
woman, was released in custody Of
Army officials at Walter Reed Hos
pital today pending the disposition Of
his case by Montgomery County au-
thorities.
States Attorney Stedman Prescott
ordered Capt. Jackson turned over to
the hospital authorities after Lieut..
]. H. Davis of the Takoma Park police
force said he had been advised the
officer had been under mental obser-
vation for some time" but had never
been confined to the institution.
Has Lists of Women.
Meanwhile, Washington police are in
vestigating two lists Of girls and wom-
en- ranging in age from II to 80 years,
which are said to have been taken
from Capt. Jackson last night and to-
day in an effort to determine whether
any additional complaints will be
made against him.
Police said Capt. Jackson, posing
under two aliases of Richard jackson
and Richard Manley, had secured the
women's names through an advertise
ment for a governess to care for two
small children.
Mrs. Ethel La Quay of 5o2 Flower
avenue, Takoma Park, who engineered
Capt. Jacksons arrest at her apart
ment late yesterday, told police the
officer had attempted to crininally
assault her September Is after she
had responded to the advertisement.
Police quoted Mrs. La Quay as say
ing that with the consent of her hus-
band she wrote an answer to the ad-

Made No Advances.
He made no advances at the time,
police said they were told. He is said
to have promised to let her know
within the next few days whether or
not she would be selected for the posi-
ton and returned to the La Quay
home the following afternoon. With
out any preliminaries, police say, Capt.
jackson opened the door and strode in.
Finding the woman alone, police
say, the officer seized and attempted
to assault Mrs. La Quay. She strug-
gled out of his grasp, however, and
ran to the street.
A warrant for Capt. Jackson's arrest
was obtained at the time.
A male acquaintance of the family
was visiting at the La Quay apart
ment yesterday afternoon when Capt.
jackson reappeared. Mrs. La Quay
held the officer at the door for a few
minutes on a pretext while she in
structed the friend to telephone police.
Local authorities said Capt. jackson
had attempted to destroy the list of
names found on him yesterday by
tearing the paper into strips and
throwing them down a drain. They
were recovered and pieced together,
however. Both the first list and the
one found this morning, containing a
total of approximately so names, bore
the ages and addresses of the women
as well as remarks regarding their
appearance.
Capt. Jackson, reported to be a
graduate of a Washington law school,
was said by police to be an officer in
the infantry. with II years of service
to his credit. He was wounded in
France during the World War.

pect were arrested in Boston last
year, but escaped from court room
where they were arraigned as fugitives

made a telephone call which lured {
woman employe of the bank away
from her desk long enough for the
theft to be accomplished.

What 90 Years In Hollywood Has

HOLLYWOOD, June 22.-Fate
enacted no stranger scene than

Beaudine was called upon to assist
Dell Henderson in directing a pic

Kindly parents hate to cast
shadows over little lives. 1t
seems cruel to expect the little
ones to share our burdens of
worry. We like to think Of
childhood as happy, unclouded,
free of care.
And yet should it be?
Preparation
Personally, I think not.
Childhood is, after all, prepara-
ton for life and the boy or
girl who grows to adulthood
believing skies are always
sunny is in for a rude shock.
AS parents we must, Of
course, protect our children.
But we must also prepare them
for living in a grown-up world
of hazards and possible enc
mics. Hard knocks are part
of life and to shield our chill
dren from them entirely is to
unfit them for practically
living.
If the children see us bear
ing our burdens cheerfully and
courageously they will learn
one of the first secrets of true
success.
Realities
In frontier life the children
shared with the adults the
hazards, the privations, even
the tragedies of existence. And
were better men and women
for the experience.
In life people suffer from
illness, from hunger. Men
and women die On land and

Beauty Queries
And Answers
PIMPLY BACK

Question: Will you please
advise me as to what treatment
to use in order to rid myself of
blackheadS and pimpleS? They
appear on my back and ShOul-
ders. 'In a recent article for
whiteheads you say steam the
face and then apply warm
muscle oil. Could warm olive
oil be used with the same re-
suits? 1 notice small lines are
beginning to appear around my
eyes. What is a good treat
ment?
would also like to know the
name of a good astringent as q
good lotion to refine the pores.
Also advise treatment for hands
and elbows. Thanking you SO
very much. II. r.
Answer: My Dear H. P: When
you take your nightly warm
bath, use a long-handled brush
and scrub your back thoroughly.
Then rinse thoroughly and pat
your back with a heated boric
solution. Then gently press out
the blackheads. Rinse with
clear cold water and pat your
back dry with a towel. Then
finish by patting yourself with
Witchhazef or a mild skin tonic.
The treatment for white
heads and blackheads is differ
ent, as you see Muscle oil is
heavier than olive oil and is
better for whiteheadS. Pat a
skin food around your eyes
every night after you have
cleansed your face. Be sure
to use an upward and outward
stroke. Witch hazel is good
for refining the pores of the
skin.
Now for your hands and ell
bows. Try to keep the hands
at an even temperature. In
other words, avoid putting
them in water that is too hot
or too cold. Use a hand lotion
after you wash your hands.
Soak your elbows regularly in
heated olive oil and if the skin
is discolored. bleach it with a
solution of peroxide and lemon

Grim Reminder
We have seen many a grim
reminder of this remiSsness in
childhood training in the past
few years in adults who have
not been able to take it,"
Our children are entitled to
the type of training that is
basic and lasting. Training
that does not extend beyond
the protecting boundaries Of
the home has no right to the
name.
1t is right that we should
give our children a sense of
security. But that security
should be based on the warmth
of our affection and under
standing. Not on an unreal
picture of life that will last
only so long as we are there
to make it do so.
