be the occasion for an outburst of cocky hosannahs by Jim Far ley.
 But the burly PING had noth- ing to say.
 Throughout Sinclair's race, one of the big arguments raised against him, was that he was too visionary and impractical to hold high public office.
 But there was nothing in the way he conducted his campaign to sustain that claim. Even Jim Farley had to admit priv ately that Sinclair was a great strategist.
 During the San Francisco gen. eral strike, Sinclair was asked to state his position. As an avowed laborite, his opponents figured they had him in a trap. But he replied:
 elf I am governor, there wouldn't be a general strike."
 On another occasion he was heckled regarding his alleged "Communism".
 q am not a Communist" Sim clair replied, "because I am an American, first, last, and all the tiIne."

Senator George Norris is summering in a small lakeside cottage which he built largely with his own hands.

They de- scribe the place as a Summer mansion The University of Tennessee has a unique way of getting it's football coach.

Waterbury Is Honored

Waterbury is honored in the nomina- tion of Mayor Frank Hayes for the post of Lieutenant-governor by the delegates to the democratic state convention. It was foregone conclusion that the city would be given some place on the ticket, but just which one was a matter of conjecture right up until the moment that His Honor decided to allow his name to be presented to the convention. That he was nominated by exclamation only goes to prove that he is highly respected among the democrats of Connecticut.
 There is no question but what Mayor Hayes could have had state honors prior to this had he so desired His one ruling thought in the years that he has been chief executive of this city has been to guide it through the perilous times It was uppermost in his mind when he went down to New London that he should not allow himself to be blinded to his duties at home by any other political honors which were extended to him.
 It was this belief, highly commend able one, that led him to keep his name out of all discussions of various offices in the past That he finally consented to be- come the nominee for lieutenant-governor indicates to this writer that he considered it highly imperative and in the best inter- ests of the party. Mayor Hayes has been and will continue to be a party worker. In that respect he differs from a great many who come before the electorate seeking votes.
 The city is proud that it's chief exec utive has been chosen to run for office side by side with Governor Cross, Repre- sentative Maloney, and the other distin- ruished members of the ticket. It is go- irr to make every effort to see that the entire ticket is returned victorious at the polls in November. We have the double incentive of working for the party and also for the leader of the party in this city and an acknowledged state leader. What more do we need to get out and se- cure the vote?

Paris Letter

Paris (UP)-How to keep young and fit like Cecil Sorel and Mistin- guett-is no easy job, according to the Dame Aux Camelias and the owner of the most beautiful pair of legs in the world.
 Both of these celebrated expon- ents of the theater, more particu- larly of the drama and the dance, are past 60 and going strong on the vaudeville stage.
 Madame Sorel, who in private life is the Countess de Segur, says, An artist must live like jockey; if she puts on weight she cannot act. Every morning when I get up l go through a series of physical culture exercises, for the body must be sculptured before it can be dressed.
 Dancing Limbers Up Muscles
 After that I dance a few min utes to make my muscles Timber and then I am thoroughly mas saged." And here, she explained, is where the rub (literally) comes in. This is painful. but it has to be done. Deep breathing and ab- dominal exercises require greatest of all care, for if they are badly performed, they do more harm than good"
 Appetizing Meals Tempting
 Then I lie down and read a book" she adds, T never eat bread. My meals consist of grilled meats. glass of high-grade Bordeaux wine and fruit. When dine out I admit I am tempted by all the appetizing dishes I see, but if indulge, the next day I have to punish myself by diet which consists of drinking only a little warm water with a squeeze or two of lemon in It."
 And the Follies Bergeres' head line attraction, Mistinguett. cor roborates these bitter facts.
 ''An actress life is nothing but pure hard labor. When my mus cles begin to get stiff after dancing I have to go through veritable torture"
 But those million dollar legs must be preserved at any rate in cash or pain. Her leg insurance amounts to so much that it has to be distributed amongst several well known companies.

Washington, Sept 7.-The re- suits of last weeks primaries contain far greater significance than people have realized.
 The significance has not been lost, however, on democratic leaders close to the president. Privately, they admit, they have much food for thought. And for this reason:
 In three widely separated states-California South Caro- lima, MississIppi = tremendous popular support was manifested for candidates who, while run ming as democrats, proposed per- sonal platforms far to the left of the New Deal.
 If these test ballots present a fair cross-section of Ameri- can sentiment, administration advisers are leaning toward an unacceptable conclusion:
 That there is consider able body of public opinion, which feels Roosevelt's "left of center'' policy has not gone far enough.
 LEFT-WINGERS
 Regarding the wingedness of the three winning candidates there can be no doubt.
 In California: Upton Sinclair, former Marxist Socialist, ran away with the democratic gub- ernatorial nomination on cate goric pledge to lend poverty in California"
 In Mississippi: Theodore G. Bilbo, former governor, more re- gently $6,O00 a year AAA news paper clipper, put himself into the runoff race for U. s. sena- tor on the promise to raise more hell than Huey Long,"
 In South Carolina: Olin D. Johnston, former mill-hand, self made lawyer, won the lead posi- ton in the gubernatorial run-off against ex-Senator Coleman Blease-in his day no conserva- tive-on the straight-out plat form of unionizing textile work CTS. This may sound tepid enough in other sections, but in South Carolina it is next to revo- lutionary.
 The result of all this is that some old-line Administration Democrats who have been pounding on Hoosevelt's door for a more conservative policy, are wondering if they didn't make a mistake after all.

Selected Poem
SNOW ON THE MOUNTAIN

Beatrice Holman in The Christian Science
 Monitor)
 White on the green of mountain scene The summer snowstorm gleams and shines, cone of white in two sharp lines. Down in the valley. the old men nod And mend the runners on their sleghs- An early winter the mountain says. High in the hills, the asters burn, Spreading forth their amethyst gems To purple bloom on tall green stems. Along the road, the dust is gone: The three-fold lane is smooth and brown, Solid hardpan packed close down. Deep in the woods a birch has seen The sign on the mountain far away And turned it's leaves to gold today. Tonight. in my fire. the soot will burn On the darkened bricks behind the flame; And the wind will whisper winters name.

It is astonishing the number of summer vacationists who take pets to shore or mountain resorts, such as dogs and cats, yet give the animals no thought when 1t comes time to return home. Any number of them have been abandoned this year just as in the past. All manner of pleas have been voiced by humane groups, health authorities, and the like to take care of the summer pets. Some of them are left behind purposely; others are just overlooked in the rush. Those that live within committing distance of their sum- mer homes should endeavor to return and collect their dog or their cat before it becomes public nuisance. Local author ities have only one recourse in cases of this kind. They must destroy the ami mals. That's not fair to the cat or dog you petted so affectionately weeks ago.

Plans for perpetuating the likeness of Lou Stone, the man who put Winsted on the map, are now in progress in the Laurel City. The present program calls tor erection of a granite boulder on the Stone property at Highland Lake on which would be affixed an appropriate tablet, containing, it is hoped, the likeness of Connecticut's Baron Munchhausen. When better nature tales were told it was always to Winsted newspapermen looked. Some recognition of this might be incorporated in the memorial.

 A At, the sending end, radio sjenals are created by means or a .nhofo-e electric cell which converts the light waves of the photograph into electric current.

Drought cattle arriving in Massachu- setts are said to be no thinner than some of those now ranging the Bay State pas lures. It's not to be wondered. We don't suppose that our idea of fattened calf would correspond to the western view point. And if the western cattle seem fat to us now, what will they be when lush grass has extended their bellies.

Wet or dry, it's certainly an
ensemble season. The indoor
sport of matching everything
from leather shoes and hand
bags to shades of lipstick and
nail polish, which probably all
started when the first cave
woman ensembled a couple of
leopard skins, has a new rabbit
in it's tall silk hat. The latest
trick of the year is to ensemble
your perfume with flowers on
your frock.
Six new perfumed eau de
colognes has just been brought
out by a French perfumer to
match the flowers on six of the
most adorable printed silks you
ever sewed into a fine seam.
Each floral odor expressed the
particular fragrance of one Of
the flower patterns. And the
shops are showing them to-
gether, so you can't go wrong.
For the girl who cares about
lies-of-the-valley in a big way,
there is lily-of of the-valley per-
fume to use with a print that
shows conventionalized lilies
and leaves. An asphodel and
gardenia bouquet matches pat
tern of life-size gardenias. One
wriff of that exciting odor with
an evening gown of the big

background would be enough to
dissolve the stag line this sum-

GOOD NAME AND VINTAGE YEARS ARE RELIABLE GUIDES PURCHASING
Boston Terrier Is

Pet
By LIZ HUME

Judging from the number Of
pictures of Boston terriers
have received, it is safe to wa.
ger that this breed has greas
lead in popularity. Today l arr
introducing Mike" American
Kennel Club registerite belong.
ing to Mrs. William C. Rough.
ton. Mike is six months old.
The Boston originated in the
vicinity of the city whose name
it bears mot hard to guess. It
is, therefore, distinctly Amer.
lean and in half a century has
become a real leader in popular
ity.
The Boston is the result of a
cross between the bulldog and
the old-faShioned brindle and
white bull terrier.
Alert and Devoted
The purpose of the cross was
to produce a dog that had the
symmetrical body, alertness and
activity of the terrier with the
impressive head and features of
the bulldog. All that could be
wished for has been accom-
plished.
The Boston terrier is today
one of the smartest and most
companionable of dogs: alert,
Watchful, cleanly in habits, de-
voted to his masters.
When Choosing
Here are some DON'TS for
those DESTROYS of owning one of
this breed:
Don't buy a Boston that is
all black, black and tan, liver,
mouse colored or dudley-nosed
Don't take one with flat sides,
narrow chest or sway back.
Don't look at one with loose
shoulders. sunken eyes or pop
eyes, and avoid those which
have protruding teeth, weak
joints and domed skulls.
Markings
In addition to the small BoS-
ton terrier, we have the heavy
weight Boston terrier, exactly
the same in every way as the
more miniature variety, except
for the slight difference in size.
Exhibitors of show dogs gen.
orally prefer the smaller type.
while the larger is usually
found among the purely pet
dogs and guardians.
However, many breeders Of
show types prefer to use the
larger females for mother dogs.

Betty isn't hard to look at.
Of course, she isn't much for
dressing any more. But then,
as she laughingly explains, that
doesn't really matter, around
the house. And then it costs so
much for the girls! But it
isn't just the dressing.
Other little things. He's a
cad to even notice them, but
they certainly get his goat. The
slow way she moves. Taking
everything so easy. Never quite
on time.
But that isn't the worst. It's
the dullness. Mi-gosh, how dull
a home is. after the office! I'm
less somebody comes in for

Betty says, "It's fun, just us
two alone, darling. Here's my
chance to give myself a good
cold dreaming and read that
new serial. Wonder if she really
is going off with that fellow?"
Maybe Betty's right. Maybe
he ought to be content, quiet
nights like that. Sitting talk
ing about the children, night
after night-maybe that should
be enough. But it isn't.
Things are so exciting, now
adays! Down at the office,
everybody wondering about the
NRA. Always an argument 60
ing on about something. These
new codes. The latest strike.
Fierce-the way a fellow feels
let down when he comes back
to a perfectly nice home! May
be that's why some fellows quit
go off with some snappy lit
tie number.
