Beauty
Get Sun Tan
Gradually
By DONNA GRACE

We know there is the urge now
to go out and feel the effect of
the sun and summer winds, and
if we go about it as we do every
year it won't be long before we
see a change in the compilations.
Out of doors life in summer is
good for us in moderation, but
there is frequently a little too
much of it for the girl or woman
who spends the rest of the year
in heated rooms.
The sensitive skin does not ad-
just itself to the change as we
expect, and the results are not
always satisfactory. This is al
ways the case when the skin is
dry and thin, so if you are plan
ming your vacation with all the
sunshine you can possibly cram
into those few weeks, please per
nit us to warn you again to pro-
tect your skin and let your Ia
hitian coloring be acquired grad
ually.
The only point in changing
complexion is to improve your
looks. so let us be sure firsG we
are the type that tans well.
The oily skin can endure a
great deal of exposure to the
sun, and it is usually the kind
of skin that takes on the nice
copper tones, but even the hardy
ones should try their first eX-
posure in from three to five
minute periods. and that only
three or four times on the first
two days.
Use dark glasses when in strong
reflected lights, such as on the
beach and for other sports. You
known the sunburn is usually on
the shoulders and arms-so why
not put on extra heavy protec-
tive oils on these parts and renew
it frequently?
We have never had such nice
oils and good makeup founda-
tions as we now have, both for
town and country. Use a cape
or towel on your shoulders and
arms, if you are out long, and
wear a large hat.
Avoid swimming at midday
early morning or at sundown are
the preferred times.
You may have personal advice
on this subject if you wish. En-

muuIluS'
One very natural arrangement
is that whereby several girls COM
bine in renting a flat, dividing the
expenses both of the flat and OF
whatever light housekeeping they
may be moved to go in for. To
us lookers-on, this seems friendly
and delightful, evening if the cor
ners don't all get swept or if some
of the meals lack balance.
What do girls themselves think
of it?
In general, I am convinced 1t
is deservedly popular way of liv-
ing, and a fine substitute for the
cramping horrors of the hall bed
room. However, I have just re-
ceived a letter from Helen H, the
main points of which I feel
obliged to share with you, just by
way of warning girls to select
their flat-mates carefully.
SPOIL SCHEME
For a year past" Helen tells
me, Il have been keeping house
with a bunch of girls. Sometimes
there were three of us, sometimes
four. We had no end of good
times-tOo many, probably, for
our health and for our pocket
books. I'm going to be married
now, but I'd be through with this
sort of life in any case. For take
it from me-One girl, if she's self
iSh, may spoil the scheme.
Girls aren't always square
with each other about their boy
friends. DrOveS of boys came to
our flat. first and last. Well, one
girl proved to be the snake and
felt free to annex any boy, no
matter whom he came to see. So
that there were a few mix-ups,
and some hard feeling, too.
"After a while. some of us
learned to meet our favOrite boys
at a movie or somewhere instead
of having them come to the house.
But who likes to do that when
you are supposed to have a home ?
There are other things. too. For
instance, some girls are always
borrowing your clothes a d cos
meticS. They hand you out some
swell reason, but it's really be-
cause they want to save their
money. And when it came to wash
ing dishes, you fairly had to fight
your flat-mates to get them to do
it,"
BE CONSIDERABLE
I'm sure Helen has summed up
the possible disadvantages Of CO.
operative living for girls. but if
you get together the right group,
it is a hundred times better than
boarding. But if you are not nat
urally hard-boiled enough to be
sure of holding on to your own
possessions, pecuniary or roman
tic. you'd better consider Helen'S
testimony and prepare to guard
yourselves carefully against the
one she calls "a snake"
However, my own guess is that
most girls aren't nearly so hard
to get on with as Helen would
have us believe. I think a repre-
sentative group of business girls
could be counted on to be fairly
considerate of each other. I'll
admit that it's always hard in
any such group. not to oVerWork
the one who can cook.
AS to disagreements and jeal,
ousies about boy friends-they
aren't easy to rule out of life al,
together, whatever ones manner
of living be.
Who has a practical suggestion
in regard to this subject?

TAFT TO OFFER
 STUDENT PRIZE
Scholarship for Elm City BOy-LOCaI Youth Also
 May Get Stipend

New Haven, March 25.-Announce ment of the designation of a scholar ship at the Taft school in Water town, for boy from New Haven, was made here yesterday by Paul Barnett, 8 graduate of the school. The scholarship is one of thirty regional scholarships established by the school this year to be granted to boys from different sections of the country and New Haven is in the first group of cities selected to nominate candidates. Boston, Providence, Springfield, Hartford, Bridgeport and Waterbury are also included in this group.
 Under the provisions of the plan, committee of local Taft alumni is to recommend one or more boys to compete for the scholarship on the basis of scholastic attainment, quail ities of character and leadership, and financial need. The competition is open to all boys twelve years of age or over who are qualified to en- ter 8 high school grade next fall. While the award is made for only one year at a time, once a boy has been granted the scholarship, it will be renewed each year that he re- mains at Taft and meets the pre- scribed requirements. When he has graduated, another candidate will be named.
 The Taft school was founded in l 1QQn ot Dotha,1, AHapar Nau, vorly by Horace Dutton Taft, brother of the late Pres. William Howard Taft. It was moved in 1893 to Watertown and for many years has been one of the leading college preparatory schools of the country. At the end of the present school year MT. Taft plans to retire from active direction of the school after forty-six years as headmaster. He will continue to serve as chairman of the board of trustees. The election of Paul Fes- senden Cruikshank, headmaster of the Romford school of Washington, Connecticut, as MT. Taft's successor was announced recently.
 In making the announcement, MT. Barnett said, MT. Taft has always believed that 1t was @ primary duty of the Taft school to make generous provision for boys of outstanding ability and character, who could not otherwise afford preparatory school education in getting ready for college. The wisdom of this policy has been amply demonstrated by the number of scholarship boys who each year exert the finest influence on the student life, who continue their good record in college and who become loyal alumni of whom the school is proud. Taft alumni in New Haven are gratified that the board of trustees has seen fit to designate one of the new scholarships for our city. We shall do our best to select worthy representative"
 MT. Barnett, who is chairman of the committee to make recommen- dations for this scholarship, grad uated from Taft in 1897.

DENTISTS TO AID
 D. OF J. IN WORK
Cooperation Planned for Identification Pur-
 poses

New England dentists are expect ed to provide full cooperation with the Department of Justice in it's ef- forts to have more uniform records kept as a means of Identification of criminals and their victims.
 This matter will be one of many under discussion at the 72nd annual meeting of the Massachusetts Dem tai society to be attended by some 5000 New England dentists at the Hotel Statler in Boston, April 28, %, 30 and May 1. Dr. Hartman'S desensitizer is also expected to ob- tain official approval at this time.
 More uniform records of dental work would provide positive proof of Identification comparing favor ably with that of finger printing" /" said Dr. Victor H. Carpenter of 99 Bay State Road, Boston, Publicity Director for the society. Any den- tist would recognize his own work, but to have definite record of this work, together with com pletc x-ray report, to corroborate his statement offers a double check. Many dentists already keep uniform records. We hope others will CO., operate. The data needed for a universal file is not complicated but

in the adjustment of family and 3. To assist in correlating all health and social programs for the welfare of the family and the community; 4. To assist in educating the com- munity to develop adequate public health facilities.
 The public health nurse, she con- tinued, does not work as a private individual but represents either an official or a private health agency. Her services are available for every individual in the. community re- gardless of race, creed, age or finan- cial status. She interpretes public health to individuals, to the home and to the community. She pro- notes health through her visits in the school and in the home. She teaches healthful living during the maternity, infancy, preschool and school periods of life. Tn her teach- ing is included the prevention and control of acute communicable disease, the care of the sick, and the general protection of health. Registered nurses, giving one or all of these services, employed by offi- cial and private agencies, boards of education, industries, and other community agencies are all called public health nurses. Their programs are developed under the leadership of the health officer and the medi- cal profession.
 To gain the benefits to the fam flies in their community of such work, towns with small populations can frequently join with another town and together invest in a nurs- ing service. Througs legislation passed in 1929, many towns which now do not have the service of a public health nurse may be rein- bursed through state aid for pub- lie health nursing work, and this re- imbursement is obtainable through the state department of health, Miss Taylor said.

New York, N. Y, March % - Volume of business transacted by the American Brass Company, of Waterbury has gained greatly dur ing the past year, according to the annual report of the parent company, Anaconda Copper. Anaconda Wire and Copper, another unit, also showed 8 heavy gain.

very simple and would not entail any great amount of effort by den- lists.
 Dental records would have solv- cd the perfect crime which was revealed last year in Vermont when two skeletons were found with bullet holes in their skulls. In fact, dental records were the only possible clue. Finger prints were impossible.
 "Would universal dental records lead to compulsory extraction of all teeth for criminals who wanted to escape Identification. Perhaps 1t would be as good thing if 1t did - an added deterrent to crime and punishment for those who still per- sisted. But even an individual who had lost all his teeth could still be identified by dental X-rayS and, of course, by his plate.'

.LAWYERS' PROBE EXPECTED HERE
Results of Investigation May Become Public
 Shortly

The spotlight of the probe of New Haven county lawyers is next ex- pected to turn to Waterbury, fol- lowing the citing of five prominent New Haven attorneys yesterday to show cause in superior court why they should not be permanently dis barred or otherwise disciplined. Irl- vestigators assigned by the state su- preme court of errors have been at work here for months, but no re- port of their findings has yet been made known.
 Charges against the five New Ha- ven lawyers were filed by the griev- ance committee of the New Haven County Bar associatoin, of which Attorney Patrick Healey of Water bury is a member. A further re- port to be filed by State Referee John K. Beach is expected to attack conditions in New Haven, and to list at least 18 more lawyers charged with unethical and llnprofessional conduct.
 The five named yesterday in New Haven are Corporation Counsel Da- vid Mccoy and Attorneys Daniel Puzzner, Benjamin Chapnick and Milton and Charles Harrison. They arc given till April 2 to show cause, and, following usual procedure will be given 8 20-day period after that date. It is expected that the trials will take place in New Haven su- perior court in May. The present. ment papers served yesterday were signed by Judge Patrick B. O'Sulli- van. Attorney Loren Willis. assist ant states attorney for Fairfield county, will act as special prosecu- tor.
 Attorney Mccoy is charged with misrepresentation of funds as well as other counts. All five lawyers have numerous counts lodged against them.
 Instance of a point that will be hammered on by the five attorneys in fighting disbarment was given last night when counsel for one of them charged that the investigation had been unfairly conducted, and that the investigators who went out to secure evidence were fin the employ of insurance companies.
