IL II the "vamp" or the ''brainy
woman" who is to get ahead in poll
tics? Omaha women who. are ardent
politicians declare that brains count
for everything in politics.
Smiles and artful wiles, coupled
with dashing clothes. are not going to
help the women win in the political
game, they say. Personality helps in
all walks of life, they agree.
Women with the best interests of
politics at heart wouldn't think of
using their charms to further their
interests" said Miss Gladys Shamp,
chairman of women in industry for
the Nebraska League of Women
voters. Miss Shamp has been active
in politics ever since her graduation
from Central High school in 1914.
Brains Count Most.
women who are now In politics
are not the kind to stoop to using
their personal charm to get there.
They are too high minded. A woman
with the most magnetic personality
may get votes but to stay in politics
It takes brains, Just az anything else
worth while does. It II only the
brainy, capable woman who holds Of
flee.
Mrs. Draper Smith, delegate to the
republican national convention in
Cleveland, declared that action ac-
complished at the convention was
cut and dried and that women there
presided intelligently at the meetings.

about charm to get ahead in politics,
but the big women of today are not
catering to the men, said Mrs.
Smith. THE earnest women in poll
tics make the men lose out by COM
parison. One woman at the conyen-
ton who took everyone by storm
when she mounted the platform was
not at all dressed up and as large as
a man. The house was silent when
she spoke and she finished in three
minutes of the five allotted her. 1t
is absolutely not the woman who
relies on charm who gets there: It
Is the one with brains. Personality
may be beauty but 1t is not beauty
of face. Personality Is stronger
when 1t includes brains.
No "yamps" In Politics.
"As for the vamp, It Is not women
of that caliber who take an interest
in politics.
Personality without brains doesn't
go far" declares Mrs. John W.
Welch. another Omahan interested in
politics. 1T makes little difference
If a woman is homely when she has
brains that make for charm"

lIEALTHFIL REDUCING

IEAlrHFlI REDUCING To any ono who is seriously con sidcring the job Of taking off from 90 to 100 pounds Of non working fat it must seem n herculean task.
 But hcalthful reducing Is just as easy as any other routine work faith fully carried out.
 All of you considering any reduc- ing program must thoroughly under stand one very important thing. How much are yom to reduce and still be hcalthfu and strong for your daily tasks? I advise careful health rX- animation by real physician before any reduction is attempted,
 No one dict win suffice for all. The diet Of fat person Of 25 or 30, who Is doing inside light labor or house. work. must vary from tho dict Of a person DO years Of age, weighing 225 pounds and employed In outside work.
 Any reducing by boys or girls nndcr i9 or 90 years Of age should not be attempted without tho care ml advice Of dietary expert or your own physician.
 In all attempts ai reducing the amount Of calorics demanded by a normal working body should not fall very far below the average 2560 or 5000 per day X reduction of 1000 calorfps day would be excessive except in unusually strong bodies. trourright, 1924, NEA Service, Incl

 l consulted my wrist watch hastily and made d mental calculation. ] he had not been unGtlly delayed Al fed Durkcc. as my driver Lad said N.srld have had time to get to tho plcc had designated. 1 auswcrt , ( man hastily in th" aairmat,\" b l h, gave no 'irr of hearing m" 'o. 1, was alr"aLt tcdding his al uch through the park.
 By the reNc'st on that tn" pursuit b. dreaded was on" of his own per so,lal enemy. he had rolicNcd my f"el tat the dot-cti,c hunting the liar r'son children had discovered my whereabouts. But the knowledge that my driver was in actual peril Of his lfe---for h. was distinctly not tho type of youth to imagin" danger oI to finch from it-made m" almost as nervous as if I. myself, were in jcop- ardy l guessed that my presence complicated his problem Wo"fully Left to himself. l imagined that h' would have welcomed an enc sutcr with his enemy. but Mrs. Bird had put mo in his charge and to his loyal soul everything els" was subordinatcd to that fact.
 I mulled over the possibilities of continuing my "rrands by myself. and letting the man return to Flush ing, but I knew that time was the commodity I must not squandcr in this frantic effort to get the Harri- son children safely beyond pursuit of their mercenary relatives. There fore, I contendcd myself with resolv- ing to plan my itinerary so that the driver should not be compelled to stop more than q few seconds at any one spot.
 Alfred Is Bewildcred
 With this determination in view. I lost no time in talk with Alfred Durkee when upon again emerging into Fifty ninth street from Colum- bus Circle. l saw him standing upon the curb in a waiting, watching at titude. With a hurried direction to the driver. I swung open the door of the battered old car as it drew up to the curb in front of my friend.
 Get in here quickly, Alfred" sdih iShS'is' " 'Apliil ait'i ward"
