CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
WIDOWS NAME


Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"After a wOman's husband dies,
should she not carry His name
until her death, or re-marriage?
For instance, Mrs. George Brown,
whose husband has just died, says
that she should receive her mail
as Mrs. Grace Brown and that she
should always be referred to as
Mrs. Grace Brown. Am / wrong
in believing that she should be
Mrs. George Brown even after her
husbands death? "A. N"
You are right. A widow should
use her husbands name just as
she did before his death, unless
she remarries. If she wishes to
have envelopes addressed to her
as Mrs. Grace Brown, it shows
that she doesn't know what's what
socially. When a woman is a Mrs.
"a married woman, a widow, a
divorcee-she should avoid as she
would a plague, the use Of her
first name in her formal name. A
married woman Is Mrs. George
Brown. A widow is Mrs. George
Brown. A divorcee is Mrs. Smith
Brown.

The easy method of eating all
you please and then taking some
thing more to reduce is highly
questionable. Before taking any
thing to induce weight loss, ask
your doctor about it. His approval
usually means that it has been
passed by the American Medical
Association as safe and sane.
The entire popular conception
of reducing has gone conservative.
We still reduce to improve appear
ance, but we are taking no chances
with our health, for health is the
real basis of beauty.

 the program. Hoover day" just happened. It began happening in mid-n1orning when crowds wel- conned MT. Hoover from Chicago train. It continued deep into the afternoon as handshakers beamed on him and. recalled old times.
 Hoover Night . Humdlnger
 But Hoover day" was nothing compared to Hoover night" Hoo yer night" was an occasion, @ vin- dication, reconciliation and Q good goodbye all in one. The Hoover speech tipped the delegates into the first rackety uproar of this markedly restrained gathering. They whooped and shouted, lugged metal-heavy state standards in jostling parades around the hall, refused to subside on the call of their chairman and finally were sent home like unruly children by Q motion to adjourn which was put and carried almost by ruse.
 Sears May Be Healed
 I think most of the scars of 1882 were healed in the sunbath of es- teem which drenched the former president It is just less than four year ago in this same hall that President Hoover appeared on this platform en route to Q most awful icking. He and most of his audi ence knew what was cominng, al- though not realizing how little faith the people had left in his administration.
 Worried, unhappy, and yelling, already with the tears that flowed on the next inauguration day, MT. Hoover stood in tragic solitude.
 The bitterness of 1892 was long in leaving MT. Hoover but 1t may be gone now. saw him through four dark years across his squarish desk on White House conference days and I watched him out of Washing ton that March when the Roose- velts arrived. He was beaten man.
 Pains Must Have Gone
 But somehow he salvaged some- thing and last night when the crowds were yelling the pains of lc32 must have finally departed and the end seemed good. It was his political end because in 24 hours or SO a young man in Kansas will supplant his as titnlar leader of the

republican party.
 It would be foolish to suggest that 34 minutes of mighty bowling could change the outlook of Q man or untwist the tortured fragments of his wounds. But the aimless out- burst did restore the former presi- dent to Q place of party honor with aS loud and emphatic Q "yea" as any man could desire.
 Will Cherish That "Yea"
 MT. Hoover was in Q frame of mind to accept and cherish that "Yea." I have seen him from time to time in the past few months, first in Palo Alto where had Q Thanks giving dinner at his table, and later in New York, and on each re-en- counter have observed notable lifting of the shadows. The con- trast between Washington on in- augural March 1, 1883, was start ling. The. weeping man was smiling. There remains deep sense of an injustice suffered at the hands of @ congress which MT. Hoover be- lieves refused to cooperate with him for the nations good in 103l- g. There is bitter resentment against President Roosevelt, partly because of personalities in speeches of the 1882 campaign and on the scope of non-cooperation by the president-elect when the banks and the country were going to the devil in the first months of 1883.
 Never VIII Forgive
 Mir. Hoover never will forgive some big New York figures for the nature of their approach to nation- al problems when he was in the White House. He has scattered through the country some men for whom he will not light any friend. ship fires. But many enemies are forgiven and lightness is in the Hoover heart.
 "What are you going to do rext7" I asked him last night.
 I'm going fishing" he said. It was obvious there was no place he would rather go--and that in- cludes the White House.

 Faced Trigger Man
 The five were brought face to face Wednesday with Dayton Dean, trigger man" of the night riders, who is held for trial in the staying of Charles A. Poole and who, his estranged wife charged Tuesday, was placed as a spy in the Union for Social Justice, headed by Father Coughlin, in an effort to "get" the radio priest.
 When "Coloner Roy Hepner, one of the alleged arsonists, denied knowing Dean, the latter burst out: "You're Q liar, you know me. You were in charge when I got IS lashei for missing Q meeting"
 Described Fl0gging Prosecutor Duncan 0. McCrea said Dean continued to give c vivid description of the fiogging, adding that the flesh of his back had been shredded by the lash.
 Hepner confessed the firing of Mollenhauers home only after long grilling in which he and the others at first denied any membership in the legion. He broke down, McCrea said, after "Regimental Clerk" Al- bert Swanson confessed and named ''Lieut. Col" Clarence Frye aS the arsonists' leader.

 Convention feet" if you don't know, is the ailment that hits all delegates, spectators, and reporters of Q political convention on the third day of the meeting. It con- stitutes the refusal of your "dogs" to mush you about the streets, hotels, and halls, anymore. If not treated, convention feet" spreads rapidly and you wind up with "con- vention ankles" or convention shins," an dare forced to wear high, button (congress) shoes the rest of your life.
 Nice Things About You
 Next to being buried, there is no better way to have nice things said about you than to be nominated for four years of free board and room in the White House. Once that noin- mating speaker clumps up on the platform and gets Q "track clear, weather fast" signal from his ton- sis, his man becomes c mixture of little Lord Fauntelroy, Galahad, Florence Nightingale, Moses, Lin- coin, and Q guy who puts 20 per cent of his earnings in savings bank each week.
 It's pretty hard to swallow these speeches. You just can't work your self Up to believe that there is 6 man living who never did anything wrong. After ali, in every mans life there must have been c time when he refused to stir the fudge for his sister, pump the sewing ma chine for mama, or run upstairs for grandma'S knitting.
 Frankly, believe the T1ominat- ing speeches make mistake when they daub their men with such thick coats of whitewash. A little suggestion of devilment would help. The American public, I feel, would have war rnsympathy for q can- didate who had proved his human touch by smoking corn silk cigarets,

 '"The delegations for me. there fore, are at complete liberty to use their judgment"
 Many Seats Vacant
 There were big blank spots in the space allotted to delegates. Many of them were four blocks away in Cleveland hotels arranging and helping in the surrender of Lan- don's rivals.
 Shell called for the report of the platform committee.
 "Your chairman" Shell said, "has just been informed tat the resolu- tions committee will not be ready to report until this afternoon. Ac- cordingly, we will proceed with the next order of business"
 Backmann Unhappy
 Carl Bachmarn, Borah's caH1- paign manager, arrived at the hall and said the Idaho senator wanted all his delegates to "do as they please"
 Would Borah accept the vice presidential nomination2" he was asked:

 Bachmann appeared to be unhap- py.

the recommendation for a tax and made no provision for financing aid to the aged and infirm.
 Advised of the change by his aide, Landon insisted the tax provision be reinstated.
 Are you in agreement on the so- cial security plank?" Langworthy was asked.
 T am sure that's all settled" the white-haired Kansas City lawyer replied with Q smile.
 Meantime, on a hotel floor above the resolutions committee room, Sen. William E. Borah, R., Ida, who yesterday forced the inclusion of his views on currency, foreign rela- tons and monopoly into the plat form, looked on the document with approval.
 A short time before he released Wisconsin delegates from their pledges to vote for him, Borah told newspapermen there were some blanks that could be stronger but on the whole he was satisfied.
 It was learned that he gave close scrutiny to the social security plank. He said he had thought of propos- ing 8 revision in the Landon pro- gram which. would have given all persons over the age of 60 a. pension of $60 a month.
 T thought, however, that the economic system could not bear such pension to take care of the old people," he said.
 The United Press was advised that while Landon was not cheering over the Borah blanks, that he proposed no substantial or fundamental revi- sions in them when they were read to him over long distance telephone by his aides.

Landon- -Wadsworth banner. He was given approval.
 Rumors are prevalent here today, however, that Wadsworth is out of the picture as far as second place on the ticket is concerned. Senator Steiwer. who delivered Tuesday evenings address, looked good to some of the Connecticut delegates. If Wadsworth looks weak there is @ possibility that the Connecticut vote will go to Steiwer for the Vice-presi- dental nomination.
 The delegates from Connecticut discounted the possibility of Pulp fisher Knox being given the second place on the national ticket because he is Q resident of the middle west just as is Governor Landon. Knox owns Q New England paper but this is not believed sufficient to warrant him Q place on he ticket with Larl- don.
 Conn. Cheered Hoover
 Connecticut's delegation cheered heartily for former President Hoover when he entered the convention hall last night despite the fact that the Nutmeg State program eight years ago called for Q "stop Hoover" set- up. There was no coolness between Hoover and State Chairman Rora- back when they shook hands on the speakers rostrun. They appeared to say Let bygones be bygones-- let's get the voters voting republi- can once more."
 Today'S session was opened amid intense heat and all delegates were praying for an early close of the ses- sion tomorrow. If adjournment takes place tomorrow the Connecticut delegates will go home by way of Niagara Falls, enjoy sightseeing stop, and arrive back in their home state Sunday morning.

 Change In Teachers
 Numerous changes among teach- CTS are also reported, with Q large number of names being mentioned as among those involved. pr. Thomas J. Condon, superintendent of schools, declined to comment on the reported changes today and pointed out that any proposed changes had to be approved by the board.
 A number of changes among teachers will be necessary in view of the school boards recent decision to close parts of several schools and to make transfers of students from one school to another.
 Rumors Buzzing
 Rumors of one or two of the principalship changes have been buzzing about in teachers circles for the past several days, but 1t was only today that a complete list of the reported changes among principals could be secured. Observ- CTS would not be surprised if there were from dozen to 20 transfers and changes among grade teachers.
 Mrs. Bailey-Platt, who is reported to have resigned, has been popular figure in South Waterbury for a number of years. She was at the school when HopevilIe district en- tered the city's school system some years ago.
