This idea of beauty may not be their personal opinion, but in d ing in terms of the photoelectr cell they must think in the se of the contrast of lights and shad- | ows. | Thus the ideal television girl would be short and shapely, have red hair, flashing eyes of any col- | or, flawless teeth and bold facial| characteristics. | There must be none of the baby- | doll feminity with its china-like | moulded features and startling blond hair. However, because the red topped | miss televises so well does not mean all others are out. Even the blond is acceptable if she is of the me- | dium type and has the features in which contrast predominates. In fact, all of the varying shades and types through the brunet also may | be satisfactory. The “‘television type” may best be | explained in the words of Morti- mer Stewart, television program di- rector of WGBS-W2XCR, New York's radio -movie-stations. “The television girl must have distinctly large features” he said, “have large sparkling eyes of any color, flawless teeth and hair with what he termed plenty of high- lights. The hair also must be in sharp contrast to the facial char- acteristics, which should be bold in the full sense of the word. “Speaking of types the preferred is the good old fashioned redhead.| Buyt both blonds and brunets will | televise well if their type is not too pronounced. | “We have found that short girls are better for television than tall ones and that shapely girls outdo their more slender sisters. “In fact, what we are looking for is contrast.” .

At the age of ten the future lawyér was not one to argue with the police, so he de- cided to quit Cincinnati. He took the first road out of town. It led him through Indiana, Illinois and Missouri and, working from farm to farm, after seven years, he arrived at Tabor, Towa. There he got another farm job, the proprietor of the place being a Jjudge. Is Sent to College The judge decided he had picked up a bright choir boy and sent him to Tabor College later taking him into his law office. By 1873 Leh- mann, then 20 years old, had won a Bachelor of Arts degree and aft- er a short term in the office of His benefactor, Judge Epenitis Sears, he passed the examination for admis- sion to the Towa bar. Lehmann immediately demon- strated a seemingly inbred capac- jtv for the law. He practiced at Tabor only a short time, went to w.uney 1n the same state, where he remained a year, and then trans- ferred to Nebraska (City, Neb., where. he stayed three years. By this time he was well ecstab- lished in his profession and he sought a wider fleld for his activi- ties. He decided upon Des Moines, the Iowa -capital. He practiced there until 1890, when he made his last move and went to St. Louis. In Des Moines, Lehmann became one of the attorneys for the Wa- bash railroad. There too, on De- cember 23, 1879, he married Nora Btark and became the father of three sons, Sears, Frederick and “The Last Service Is THE CHAS. W.

Supported Greeley Lehmann and his friends were Greeleyites and thought it was a]yision beauty. pity that there was no one on hand to answer the criticisms of their candidate. “Say, Fred, you go to college; you answer that fellow,” said Lehmann’s friends. So, with- out mentioning his lack of years, Lehmann answered the Grant man. His friends said that his first speech was like all his subsequent ones—good. Lehmann first attracted state- wide attention in Towa politics in 1882, when he led the campaign that resulted in the -clection of Gov. Boies, a Democrat. The Re- publicans had nominated a prohi- bitionist for the place, much to Lehmann’s chagrin. He was cred- ited with having persuaded Boies to run and he said afterwards that | parent was too strict, and left|,, soleoteq Boles as a fit anti-pro-|cruise in Southeast Alaska waters, hibitionist candidate because the latter neither smoked nor drank. Thus established as a Democrat, Lehmann’s party affiliations chang- ed in 1896, when he supported Mc- Kinley against Bryan because of the latter's advacacy of the free coinage of silver. Thereafter, until 1922, Lehmann was generally found supporting Republican candidates. In the latter year, however, he ‘announced publicly his intention to vote for Senator James A. Reed, Democrat, who was seeking re-elec- tion in Missouri. He gave as his reason that Reed stood for the principle “that government is best which governs least,” a Jefferson- ian precept that had long been a slogan of the Democrats. Despite this switching from par- ty to party, Lehmann’s personal politico-social faiths never changed with the years. He was steadfast in his opposition to prohibition, al- ways advocated state rights and disapproved centralization of pow- er in Washington . MRS.

Fitger and a party of friends from California put into Juneau Sunday on the yacht West- ward. A large brown bear was slain in Tenakee Inlet last week {by Mr. Fitger, and full bags of ducks and geese have been Ob- tained. Good fishing has also added to the pleasure of the trip. Thé Westward, a ‘Campbell Church yacht now under her fifth charter of the season, left Seattle on her present voyage August 19. She is scheduled to be back there October 6. She proceeded north leisurely, and came here after a visit to Sitka and neighboring wat- ers. She will depart for Glacier Bay tonight. She plans to go to Lisianski, where those aboard will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Cann for a few days. Further bear hunting is planned in the vicinity of Lemesurier Island. Mr. Fitger is a Los Angeles mil- lionaire. This is his second yacht cruise to Southeast Alaska, his first having been made two years ago. He operates at Los Angeles a factory which extracts mineral values from sea kelp. He is ac- companied by Mrs. Fitger. Thelr guests are Mr. and Mrs. M. K. Miller of Los Angeles, Dr. and Mrs, Frank Nuzzum of Santa Bar- bara and Herrick Nuzzum, son of Mr. and Mrs. Nuzzum. Joseph Ibach of Lemesurier Island and Patrick Hollywood of Ketchikan are the guides. Capt. Roe Dykeman is master of the Westward.

He must be having a dismal time with head- strong Ina, they said. And Cukor was amazed. Dismal time? Why? Ina was great. She never caused delays by being late. She worked and enjoyed working. She never wandered off the set be- tween scenes. She wasn't tempera- mental at all. And Ina Claire gave a beautiful performance that brought her back to Hollywood with a United Artists contract. Cukor’s next assignment was with an actress supposedly as “difficult” | as Claire—~Tallulah Bankhead. Tallulah arrived in New York from London with a reputation for temperament made to order. There were those who shivered as the time approached for her lo begin “The Tarnished Lady.” Stories emanated from the set to the effect that Miss Bankhead objected seriously to visitors. She was reported to have ordered even Adolph Zukor, head of the com- pany off her sacred stage. But Cukor went ahead and, de- spite rumors of clashes and not-, in~the-script scenes, the picture was complted on schedule. “Tallulah must have been a handful,” someone sympathized, “Tallu? Don't be an ass,” he fe- plied. *“She was splendid.” Two at a Time Maybe that’s why, now he is in Hollywood, the director has been given the job of directing Lilyan Tashman and Kay Francis in “Girls About Town.” Now there would seem to be a real job—having two women, with equal billing, in one picture, and both of them supposed contenders for the title of “Hollywood's best- dressed woman.” POOR SLEEP DUE TO GAS IN UPPER BOWEL Poot sleep is caused by gas press- ing heart and other organs. You can't get rid of this by just doctor- ing the stomach because most of the gas is in the UPPER bowel.
