POLICE FAVORED
OVER INEBRIATE
Meriden Cops Will Not
Have to Testify Next
Day Against Drunks

A ruling made in Meriden police
court early this week which show
ed more consideration for the po-
lice and less for DRINKS" will be
of great interest to policemen in
this city, since the Silver City rul-
ing ends a situation which police
here, have long complained against.
Associate Judge Benjamin Tonko-
now ordered that in the future po-
licemen need not appear in court
the next day to testify against
drunks they have placed under ar
rest.
In the future, Meriden night po-
licemen need not have to worry
about missing their sleep by being
forced to appear in court shortly
after going off duty. If the prison
err shows a disposition to plead not
guilty the case will be automatical-
ly continued till the next day. II
he can secure bonds, the prisoner
will be released pending trial. If
the prisoner indicates he will plead
guilty. the policemen need not APP
pear at all.
Night policemen here have pro-
tested continually against the situa-
ton wherein they must report at
court as witnesses. many times
when their testimony is not even
taken, after being Off duty but a
few hours. Night men end their
work at o'clock, which means
they are not home until about 4;s0
or later, since no street cars or
buses are running. Then they must
be IN court by Q O'clock.
Judge Tonkonow said that II was
unfair 20 make night policemen re-
port IN court the next morning. He
declared; at Ia unfair 20 ask 0
policeman who has worked all
night % lose sleep IN order TO ap.
pear In court the f0iiowlng day on

MOther-in-Law

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you please tell me the
proper way to address ones
mother-in-law? Shall I call her
mother or should I call her
Mrs? j.
How one addresses ones
mother-in-law depends on ones
mother-in-law. what her wish
in the matter is. If she is
"motherly" in her point of view
about he daughter-in-law, if
there is a close bond between
her and her daughter-in-law,
then the name she would like
to have used by the daughter
in-law would reflect this devo-
ton. 1t might be Mother" or
Mother Allen"
If the mother-in-law does not
suggest a change from the Mrs.
Allen," then the daughter-in-law
has no right to change her form
of addressing her mother-in-law.
But usually this decision works
itself out easily, by a chat be-
tween the fiancee and the fl
ance, or between the wife and
husband, about the wishes of
the mother-in-law and the ap-
propriate form of address.

Choice Of Soap
Decides Skin
Beauty
By JULIET SHELBY

The choice of the soap you
use on your skin is as impor-
tant to your beauty as the
choice of your powders or
creams.
All but q few women can
stand a good face scrubbing at
least three times a week, and
most women can stand one a
day. A clean skin is a beau
tiful skin, and if you choose
your soap wisely, your skin will
take to washing without irrita-
ton. But cheap, hard soap will
ruin it.
If you happen to like scented
soaps, by all means use them.
but you must be certain that
you choose only the highest
quality, for, in many instances,
perfume is used in cheaper
soaps to camouflage inferior in
gradients.
A lovely, delicately perfumed
soap comes from England, and
few American women know of
its existence. 1t is beautifully
scented with the fresh tang Of
lavender. Having been kiln
dried, it makes a superior fine
lather in both hard and soft
water and outlastS from two to
four bars Of cheaper soaps.
The lavender fragrance Of
this soap is not a compound
as is so much of the ordinary
lavender. Since 1749 this soap
firm has been making lavender
toilet products and uses only
the genuine old English Law
ender.
So true is the fragrance that
EngliShWomen strip the soap of
its effective wrappings and, in
stead of sachetS, place it among
their linens and lingerie. If
you are a globe trotter, why not
pack a few bars of this soap in
your case? Then your undies
will be irresistible and, because
Of the soaps lasting power, you
will not run short before your
trip is over.
The soap comes in three sizes
the individual cake, hand size
and bath size. And bet you
don't know of many soaps with

A swell new kitchenette

Another good dish which I
recently discovered that lends
itself perfectly to kitchenette
cookery is the following:

Wrap each oyster in a very
thin slice of bacon, fastening
with a toothpick. Lay on broiler

or plain with lemon juice.

daytime, and two or three warm
sweaters, to be replaced later by
cooler blouSeS, are a fine idea.
Most people wear their tweed
coat in the evening when they

pool, so be ready. with your
swimming suit when you get on,
instead of waiting to get one

need elaborate beach things,
but pair of SlackS and a pull
on or jacket will come in well,
or if YOU prefer, button skirt
instead of the SlackS is quite
smart.
Hats Are Varied
Felt hats are best on the boat,
and a brown or navy, for your
tweed suit, can often be worn
later with dresses. White felts
or straw fabrics are both prac-
tical and smart for Southern
wear. There are some lovely
big hats Of coarse straw, too,
and some fine bakus and balli-
buntle. OF course they will be

PATTERN 2121

Every detail of this youthful
and charming afternoon frock
was designed with an eye to flat
tering the more matronly figure.
The soft gathers beneath the
shoulders, both back and front
of the bodice are not only fash

as well-the ripping double-j -jabot
effect emphasizes the nice V line
of the neck-and the way the

excellent for your first hat in
the spring, too.
You can start off in sports
shoes, with your tweed suit, and
later change to brown and
whites, or all whites. One pair
for daytime will do, if it is the
sort that will go with every
thing. If you expect to do much
tea dancing or to be entertained
by friends, you may need some
afternoon clothes and shoes, but
most people don't take them at
all.
Evening Gowns Needed
Dinner and evening clothes
are essential, and should be the
type that do not crush or wilt
under sea breezeS. Net is fine
if it is the sturdy kind, and
printed Satins and crepes are
more than lovely. Some of
them are extreme evening types,
some dinner dresses, and one of
each would be good to take.
Lace evening gowns are excel
lent travellers, and are very
much in the mode now. If you're
staying long enough it might be
worth while taking your other
evening gowns that will have to
be pressed, but most of those
mentioned above will just shake
out if they get wrinkled. AS to
daytime clothes, we've covered
them pretty thoroughly the last
two weeks.

The Washington times., 1935-01-03

The trouble seems to be q
complete lack of understanding
between the two generations.
In addition to this, there are
other factors:
Hard times, insecurity as to
employment, loss of savings
and the modern devil-may-care
attitude of youth.
Day Of Reckoning
Parents try frantically to
hold their children against the
modern lure of cars, drink to
be had on every block, sinister
men and women who make a
business preying on boys and
girls who are restless and dis
contented at home.
The way of the parent who
does not think is to try to
lock the door on these influ-
ences, to incarcerate their
children, as if home were an
old-fashioned penal institution
with a high wall around it.
Comes the day of reckoning,
when these over-careful mothers
and fathers realize the closed
door policy has been failure.
Either they have completely
broken the spirit of their chill
dren and have neurotic crea-
lures on their hands, or their,
boys and girls have taken the
bit in their teeth and gone the
pace as they've seen fit.
A wise parent tries to under
stand his child. He considers
his own ycuth-the impulses,
temptations, mistakes he made,
and how he came through them
with success or failure.
Other Dangers
Only a parental egoist imagines
lis children exempt from these
things and makes no provisions
for their legitimate expression.
Why should any sane person
imagine that the urge to live,
with it's prevailing and perverse
currents. should come to a
standstill with his own chill
dren? Yet thousands Of pa
rents take refuge in this selfish
form If blincnesS.
If boys ami girls are to be
kept from the more hazardous
forms of temptations, the solu-
ton is to make home more at
tractive to them.
Let the youngsters feel that
It's a home in the fullest sense,
a place where they're free to
have their friends, and such en-
tertainment as comes within
their means.
Home Club
Not long ago, a mother wrote
me a most sensible letter about
the rights of children, as she
saw them:
eve have no parlor, no living
room or anything like that-but
we have the incest kind of a
kitchen. Blue linoleum on the
floor, checked blue gingham
curtains at the window. China,
glass and cooking things, mostly
from the Five-and-Ten.
And my children feel free to
have their friends in at any time.
Our house is almost a club, and
I feel so safe to know the young
people my boys and girls are
