SIMILARITY BETWEEN
 ROASTING COFFEE AND COOKING FOODS
"A Little at a Time" Is the Secret for Securing the
 Finest Flavor

Foods generally taste better when cooked in small quantities. For then the cook can mix her ingredi- ents properly, also control the heat.
 When coffee is roasted in small quantities, the same thing is true. But when coffee is roasted in bulk --as most coffees are-exact con- trol is lost. Under-roasting and over-roasting very easily occur. This method being so unsatisfac- tory, caused Hills Bros. to look for some improvement-some way to roast their rare blend to uniform perfection. They experimented for years, and eventually invented and patented Controlled Roasting.
 As the accuracy of the hour-giass depends upon an even, continuous flow :. a little at a time so the fine, uniform flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by Controlled Roasting-the patented process that roasts evenly, continuously -. little at c time. Marvellous un- varying flavor results in every pound. For no berry IS underdone nor overdone.
 Hills Bros. Coffee is always fresh. It is packed in vacuum cans. Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is removed and kept out of these cans. Ordinary, "air-tlght cans won't keep coffee fresh. Order Hills Bros. Coffee today. Ask for 1t by name, and look for the Arab trade mark on the can.

Redl,ead Girls Best Teleuision Type
 But BIOnds and Brunets Haue Chance

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Televis- ion program directors do not pre- fer blonds. At least as a general rule they don't.
 This idea of beauty may not be their personal opinion. but in deal ing in terms of the photoelectric cell they must think in the sense 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 it's china-lik 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 brunei also may be satisfactory.
 The "television type" may best be explained in the words of Morti- mer Stewart, television program di- ec tor 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 l 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 4 But 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.
 Tn fact, what we are looking for lis contrast"
 These were the factors taken into consideration when models were selected for the television fashion show put on with sound and sight by WGBS-W2XCR
 1 Of the young women chosen to go before the television camera, two successful ones, who were not redheads were Anne Dunn, short and brunei, and Kay Weir, tall and medium blond.
 Similar characteristics are to be found in Dorothy Knapp, former "Vanities" feature and winner of a beauty contest, who has been signed by the National Broadcast company for series of television studio tests. She is a brunei who has the features and the other 1 requirements for the 1881 tele- lvision beauty.

John D. Lehman. Years later, in St. Louis, all three went into law partnership with their father.
 Although active in politics from his youth, Lehmann was never strictly regular as party man. Ir Iowa, he was regarded as staunch Democrat in Missouri, as a R,- publican; but in neither state would he support a party candidate to whom he objected personally or in principle.
 Lehman made his first political speech in the summer of 1872 be- fore he was old enough to vote. Be- tween terms at Tabor College, he had been working as sheep herd CT and with a group of friends he went to political rally in a near by village The speaker, discuss ing presidential candidates, praised General Grant and criticised Hor- ace Greeley.
 supported Greeley
 Lehmann and his friends were Greeleyites and thought it was a 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, Lehman 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 Iowa politics in 1882, when he led the campaign that resulted in the election of Gov. Boies, Democrat. The Re- publicans had nominated prohi- bitionist for the place, much to Lehmann's chagrin. He was cred tied with having persuaded Boies to run and he said afterwards that he selected Boies as fit anti-pro- 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 advocacy 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" Jefferson ian precept that had long been a slogan of the Democrats.
 Despite this switching from par lty 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 Ter in Washington

The second signature was that of John w. Davis, former solicitor general, former ambassador of Great Brit ain and former presidential nomi- nee of the Democratic party.
 Feared Policemen
 MT. Lehmann's. long and brilliant legal career was the indirect out growth of his fear of policemen as boy.
 He was born in Prussia on Febru- ary 28, 1853, and christened Fred erick William. His parents brought him to America when he was two years old, but his mother died in Cincinnati before her son was old enough to remember her. He lived with his father until he was ten when he decided that his Prussian parent was too strict, and left home.
 Fixing out an existence by selling newspapers, the boy at night slept in any handy barn or vacant house Several times the police came upon him and they warned him that they would have to arrest him as juvenile vagrant unless he found permanent home. At the age o1 ten the future lawyer was not one to argue with the police, so he de- cided to quit Cincinnati
 He took the first road out ol town. It led him through Indiana Illinois and Missouri and, working from farm to farm, after sever years, he arrived at Tabor, Iowa There he got another farm job the proprietor of the place being g judge.

 By this time he was well estab lished in his profession and h. sought a wider field for his activi ties. He decided upon Des Moines the Iowa capital. He practicet there until 1890, when he mad' his last move and went to St Louis.
