Hartford, Conn, April 2.-CUP) Governor Wilbur l.. Cross today proposed to the senate appoint ment of Senator John c. Blackall, d.. Hartford, as insurance commits sioner to succeed Howard D. Dun- ham, Wethersfield.

 The other appointments are for similar terms.
 Only senate approval is neces- sary and the senate referred the nominations to its committee on executive nominations. Early &C., ton was expected.

CHAPTER XII

When the guard brought Jean Dunn back to the house, she felt as If some queer paralysis of the spirit had descended on her, mak- ing t impossible for her either to think or to feel any longer. She moved her legs automatically, duly conscious of extreme weariness but unable, somehow, to feel that 1t mattered very much.
 She knew the worst, now. She was in the hands of the Red Jack son gang-the most notorious, dan- gerous and vicious gang of man. killers on the continent-she, Jean Dunn. who had thought 1t a wick edly-exciting lark to poke her nose inside The Golden Feather night club! She was in their power, and the man she had promised to marry was one of the gang, and there was no possible chance that she could ever get away.
 She stumbled along, until at last they came out of the woods into the clearing. The old house loomed up, dark, insanely- designed shad- ow against the star-f -fiecked sky, the few lights in its roms gleaming dim ly through the night. Beyond 1t the surface of the lake was a black pool, 1t here and there by a touch Of reflected star shine. A breeze was rising, and there was a gentle rust ling of leaves in the trees, a silky wash of wavelets on the beach.
 The man conducted her straight to the house and marched her up the steps and into the hall. He stood there with her, his gun under his arm, and waited. A door opened somewhere. and Red Jackson came toward them.
 He looked at the guard coldly. "What're you doin' in here?" he asked. T thought you were sup- posed to be a lookout, up the road. Whats the idea coming in here?"
 The man hastily gestured toward Jean.
 "Oh. you figured" said Jackson. If I can ever get some of you pin- heads to remember that I'm sup posed to do the figuring around here . we'll, let it go. Go on back there now. lunkhead, and the next time you find anybody else wandering around loose give us a call-don't come in yourself.
 The guard departed. obviously re- lieved to get away with no worse rebuke than this. Jean was left alone. facing Americas Number One public enemy.
 He eyed her coldly. his washed out eyes seeming more lifeless than ever in the dim lamplight.
 Just where was you going?" he asked her.
 She gestured helplessly with one hand.

 But times have changed.
 Nowadays girls learn to cook with can openers. This is not to deprecate the value of canned goods because I will show later what their usefulness in nutrition really Is.
 Foods have become sophisticated. Thirty-five years ago the average American had choice of three cer.als for breakfast; today there are several hundred cereals from which he may choose.
 Once we ate only with the idea of putting energy into our bodies. Nowadays we eat for health and for growth.

 GIorifying
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

It is 8 bad idea indeed to use too much makeup this year. Lips that look caked and eyes which are cov- cred with heavy coats of mascara and eyeshadow simply aren't fash ionable.
 Wherever you go. you're bound to notice that the smartest women wear enough makeup to enhance their natural beauty and dramatize their best features. but certainly not enough to make their compilations look painted.
 At the National Horse Show gold or silver flngernails in sight were conspicuously by their rarity. Most of the nail polish was quite light and natural looking. When @ darker shade was used, lip stick matched 1t fairly well. A good many wore polish over the en- tire surface of the nails, completely covering tips and half-moons.
 Extreme hair styles provided striking contrast to the conserva- tive makeup. More swirls than curls were used across the bac.; of the prettiest heads. CurlS, often lacquered. were used at the sides and on top, however. One especially attractive brown -haired society woman had two rather shallow waves all the way around her bobbed head and the hair was swirled from side to side. In other words, 1t swept backward on the left and showed her ear, followed in the same direction across the back. then shot for ward in front of the right ear and covered partsof her cheek.
 Another girl--blond and rather fragile-had a coiffure that looked as though 1t had been brushed up- ward from the nape of her neck to her forehead. It was straight and lacquered in place. Bangs were curled in tight ringlets and lacquer ed, too.

Ambulatory Treatment Of
 VaricOse Ulcer

The reason why varicose ulcer does not heal as readily as an or- dinary wound is the reason why the ulcer happens in the first place, namely, poor nutrition of the tis- sues of the leg. The stagnat!on Of blood in the enlarged or dilated veins retards nourishment of the cells and tissues through the circu- lation.
 Every doctor encounters cases of varicose ulcer of long standing, the patient complaining that 1t has re- mained unhealed for many years Notwithstanding all the remedies s'tried" from time to time, and yet, if the patient can be persuaded to stay in bed for a week, perhaps with the leg elevated part of the time, the ulcer heals with aston- ishing celerity. Provided, of course, there is no proud flesh, that is, exuberant granulation tissue, in the ulcer; or if there is, 1t is aseptically trimmed down to skin level.
 Sometimes, though. it is great hardship for a breadwinner to re- main In bed a week. Well. there is good alternative treatment avail able for the varicose ulcer sufferer who can't lay up for treatment. l hope it will not annoy the old guard if I call this ambulatory treatment. Something about that word ambulatory seems to arouse animosity among the old timers reckon 1t means to them more pa- tients going to better doctors, say for treatment of hemorrhoids. or hernia.
 The ambulatory treatment of varicose ulcer is as follows:
 First gently bathe' the ulcerated area with plain soapy water agree ably warm. Rinse away the soap with tepid and then cool water con- taining a heaplng tablespoonful of salt in the gallon. Gently dry the raw place and surrounding skin by hlotting with clean freshly ironed snft cloth. Then cover the ulcer with e pad of Q dozen or more lay- CTS of fine cheesecloth freshly ironed or surgical gauge from a sterile package. Over this apply Q

PARENTS
Your" Children
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Jack came to me with his prob- lem. He was tired struggling with college, and he just could not see two more years of 1t.
 Dad and mother kind of feel that if I quit this year the money they've spent so far is wasted. But I'm so muddled now I hardly know what it is all about"
 "What, for instance?"
 "Oh, everything. hate math and languages and English and all the rest of 1t. I'm always be- ing conditioned and trying to catch up. Dad wanted me to study political economy, but it's just not up my alley. I want to live my life, not spend 1t living what other old fogies discovered or wrote up. If I was good and 1t came easy I wouldn't fuss, but it's just pure agony, that's what 1t is. Agonyl"
 John Lacked Substitute Plan
 Now time and again have said to the parents of such @ lad, Why don't you let him of? Why not let him go at the thing he really wants to do?" But Jack had no such plan. He was grouching be- cause the world wasn't amusing enough for him. Once out, knew he would not look at a book if he could heip 1t. He was still too young to expect job and some way I felt that if he licked this 1t would put something in him he needed. He was looking at 1t from the study standpoint, but l had something else in mind.
 My best course, thought, was to encourage him. "There is some- thing odd about school" ventured.
 "Oddp What2"
 "Why just this. You learn more than you think you are learning" :"
 T know darn well what I'm not learning and that's plenty"
 Listen, Jack. About half the boys and girls who go to school, any school, think of lessons as some sort of pennance they have to endure. They aren't at all inter- ested and get out of doing every thing the, can. Then too, the work is always @ stretch ahead. They are usually cracking their brains trying to understand why in the world all the stuff is wished on them.
 "No kid ever looked over his first algebra or Latin or French grammar, or chemistry book or even an English grammar with out thinking to himself, What have got to study this for? It's all crazy And then further along they feel the same about all the

clements in the diet reveals itself in extraordinary malformations in body structure and in unusual dis eases.
 When the Queen of France heard that the people were crying for bread, she said, "Let them eat cake.' That was bad advice.
 A slice of bread costs less than piece of cake of the same size and offers more in the way of nu- tritional elements; but bread dif- fers from cake in lacking appetite appeal.
 The queens advice to her people was a good deal like most of the advice peddled nowadays on the subject of food. Everyone who has suffered from indigestion considers himself an authority on diet.
 Most people take diet for grant, ed. They think back to the time of their childhood. They remember

Dining Room
 Curtains

Curtains go far in the scene of decoration of the dining room. It is impossible to get away from the repetition of forms in straight chairs and tables, and we need di- version. Often a pair of long, col- orful chintz or linen curtains will redeem the room from utter dull- ness.
 Not every window can stand hav- ing its curtains draped or looped back, but where this is possible, an- other nice bit of decorative interest has been added. Likewise, the care- fully proportioned and shaped val- ance adds decided interest that the simple shirred-on valance never gives. It is very entertaining to see what possibilities the dining room windows have for decoration.
 The question is often asked whether 1t is correct to use cotton, chintz or linen draperies in rooms where other furnishings are more or less elaborate. Yes <. in many cases. For example, a well-known decorator has used this season a modern fabric-a simple cotton chintz in a bird and basket design in a charming breakfast room in which there were a number of rare antique pieces. The walls of the room were painted clear light yel- low and the woodwork was painted in one of the turquoise shades. On the white ground of the chintz the design showed just the right tones of turquoise and clear yellow, with 6 little brown, little orange, a little rose, for accent. These cur- tains were made unlined. so that the light might shine through and throw out the simple beauty of the pattern. A pleating of turquoise chintz finished the edges and the curtains were caught back simply at @ high point with tie-backs.

 "But they plod along, feeling like martyrs to @ useless cause. They forget, or think they do half of what they read. Only the word must drive them to get any of 1t at all.
 "The funny thing is that years later they suddenly remember things they had in school. Things they may have flunked in, too. It's true that when you are studying you get more than you know you are getting. And for this reason I'd go on. Muddle through some way. It gets clearer after you're out"
 Jack is converted. He's going on ito learn in spite of himself.

Ho7O To Keep WeU
 By DR. WILLIAM BRADY, MD.

rubber sponge about 3-4 inch thick and an inch larger in diameter than the ulcer. Keep the sponge in place by an elastic bandage applied to the leg from the toes to the knee. That's all. Now you must walk about every day, to get the gentle massage effect which helps the circulation. Or If 1t is against your political principles to walk, with gasoline so cheap and every thing, then you must do some reg ular exercises every day-and one of the best is lying on your back and juggling a barrel, real or im- aginary, with your feet.
 Remove the dressing, wash ulcer as before, and reapply, every two days.
 It is useless to apply this treat ment or any other If there is proud flesh in the ulcer. That must be removed first, and only the doctor can safely do this. It is unwise to attempt to burn" 1t out with caus- tic.

 What Grade Milk?
 Is grade A milk as beneficial to health as grade A irradiated milk? We cannot afford to buy certified milk. N. N. O.
 Answer-Irradiated milk is any milk that has been exposed to ul- traviolet light, usually from a car bon arc lamp, for a few seconds This imparts to the milk the vita man D influence required to pre- vent rickets in infants. Grade A milk which is approved by your family physician or your local health officer. is pure and whole some. Grade A Raw milk, from tu- berculin tested herd, is second only to Certified milk, in my opinion Grade A pasteurized milk is always safe. If you are not certain about the purity ofthemilw
