Regardless of who wins the cleo

bound to come out on top if pre-
election campaign pledges are any
indication, as shown in the current
issue of The Merit Man, official
publication of the Connecticut Merit
System Association.
Statements of four candidates for
governor, soundly pledging them to
the extension of the Merit System,
are quoted in full. A close race is
predicted between the three major
candidates and all are urged to
vote.
Results of a poll of all candidates
for the General Assembly show: an
overwhelming majority in favor of
the general merit system principals;
decided opposition to the solicitation
of state employees Tor party cam

MURPHY HAS
HARD FIGHT
Michigan nearly always has been
a strong Republican state and Re
publicans claim to be confident they
can beat Murphy. whose friends are
worried although they think his
chances lately have been looking up.
Murphy won by only $4,000 two
years ago while Roosevelt was car
rying the state by 100000. Michi-
gan since has had it's sitdown strikes
and Michiganders, according to
Republicans, have grown hostile
to John L. Lewis and G. I. o.
Murphy managed to have the
strikes settled without bloodshed,
but Republicans and business men
connect him with them and say he
should have been firm against
the strikers. Fitzgerald attacks
federal and state spending and has
support of numerous Townsendites
but not of many WPA workers
Farmers are largely for him be-
cause they dislike low farm prices,
C. I. o. and New Deal spending.
Murphy benefits from Roose-
Velt,s popularity, from record OF
y clean, efficient administration.
C. /. o. is working hard for him
and he has A. F. of L. support,
although c. /. q. lost the Detroit
moyOralty election to a city ma
chine which is helping Fitzgerald.
Murphy boasts he settled the sit
down strikes without bl0odshed
ard says he is no killer. He dis
plays letters from Alfred P. Sloan
and other motor magnates prais-
ing his handling of the strike sit
uati0n. His defeat would be both
a personal and political blow to
Roosevelt, who would promptly
offer him a high New Deal post
perhaps the present supreme
cOArt vacancy.
BENSON TARGET
OF CONSERVATIVES
Benson of Minnesota, whose
friends call him "a fine, honest,
idealistic fellow with no political
sense" suffers from detection of
right-wing Farmer-Laborites some
of whom tried before the Dies COM
mittee to connect him with Com
munism. All 'big business" elements
are against him, which may help or
hurt. Stassen is a better campaign
er and attracts conservative Farmer
Laborites as well as conservative
Democrats.

The newest beauty preparations
OH the fall market appear TO have
been designed to simplify the
grooming routines Of smart women.
Some are exciting-for example an
unusually thick lipstick in an en-
erald green case which Is in itself
a decorative accent for purse OF
dressing table. Others are so prac-
tical that users will appreciate anew
the fact that meticulous grooming
depends more on time than money.
In the latter category, little pads
which bring quick relief to tired,
aching eyes are news. These are
to be placed on eyelids from five
/ minutes to an hour, depending on
the amount Of time you have to
spare, to relieve temporary strain
caused by hours Of reading, writing
watching a football game or just
walking or riding in the wind. Bust
ness women, looking for pick-me-
ups that will eliminate the drawn
look that O days work can put
around eyes and brow, will appre-
ciate these.

MANAGEMENT OF MORNING
SICKNESS


Having held for two weeks the
complete manuscript for new, en-
larged edition of 1.-THE Medicine
Cupboard" finally let 1t go to press,
but something tells me that by the
time the new booklet is issued I will
remember what important item was
overlooked. 1t seldom fails. Only a
week ago a newly revised edition. Of
the booklet Preparing for Mater
nifty" was published, and coincident
with the release of the revised ma
ternity book came this letter to re-
mind me of what I had forgotten to
mention in the booklet:
Dear DR. Brady:
During my pregnancy my husband
has been very sick to his stomach.
Is 1t true then that sometimes the
husband suffers instead Of the wife?
I have never been sick as yet and
1t is now the seventh month. Is
there a remedy? If so, am anxious
to know about 1t. Gratefully yours.
For prevention and relief Of morn
ing sickness, at least in the distaf
side of the family, 1t is well to make
a practice Of eating some sweet fruit
such as orange, banana, grapes,
raisins, dates, figs, or If fruit is not
available then some candy or other
sweet last thing at night or in the
middle Of the night If wakeful or
first thing every morning.
For the prevention and relief Of
more serious nausea and vomiting,
which sometimes amounts to path
illogical complication, the prospect
i've mother should receive an optimal
daily ration Of vitamin B complex to
supplement her diet, say four tea
Spoonfuls Of syrup each teaspoonful
containing $50 international units Of
vitamin B, or to 8 vitamin B COM
pick tablets, each tablets containing
$50 units Of vitamin B.
The anxious, worried expectant
father may share with his help meet
In these nutritional correctives. In
such cases as the correspondent de-
scribes the poor mans wife should
endeavor to cheer him up with the
reminder that a hundred million
other men have gone through the
ordeal successfully, and she should

Short Fur Jackets Prove to Be LO
In Popularity For Late Fall Weal
OLD-FASHIONED
NORFOLK MODE
IS NOW NEW"
BY MARIAN YOUNG
NEA Service Staff Correspondent

ANAGAAN1AAAN
NEA Service Staff Correspondent
New York-Short fur jackets con-
tinue to dominate the late fall
fashion picture. Smart women Ike
fitted and untitled versions Of them
for evening as well as daytime. The
popular lengths vary between short,
pert little boleros and the three
quarters types.
Precious and semi-precious furs
as well as casual, quite inexpensive
ones are used. And there's some
thing utterly fascinating about the
idea Of having snowy white ermine
or sumptuous mink in boxy, COM
Portable jacket, the design Of which
is as simple as the fur is elaborate.
These, of course, are great deal
more youthful than the long, flow
ing ermine capes Of yesteryear. Not
that the latter are not dramatic.
Far from it. They just happen to
make ones figure seem more ma
ture.
LUMBERJACKS
ARE YOUTHFUL
Lumberjack jackets, with the
pelts used horizontally to the
waistline and there finished with
band of matching fur, used ver-
tically, are new. They're for the
young or at least slender hipped,
and they, too, come In mink and err
mine, white fox and white rabbit
for evening and In less precious
furs, such as skunk and opossum,
for daytime.
New right now in fur depart
ments is the double-breasted
Norfolk jacket-like the ones
your grandmother wore. One es-
pecially nice model, in black Per-
sian lamb, is three quarters
length, has wide revers and
gives the figure an hourglass
look.
Incidentally, more and more
designers are setting wide, girdle-
type belts Of fabric into coats Of
fur. These eliminate all bulkiness
at the waistline and make fur
coats as flattering to slender fig
ures as fitted ones of fabric.
A trim little three-quarters coat
of softest Australian opossum has
set-in girdle Of fine supple suede in
a shade to match the fur. A hip
length jacket Of black skunk has one
Of black grosgrain that ends at the
front In ties which can be Topped
or fashioned into bow.
SHORT-HAIRED PELTS
FOR BOXY JACKETS
Last year, the boxy jacket seemed
to look best in long-haired furs.
This season, however. fully cut ones,
In short-haired varieties, such as
beaver, muskrat, Hudson seal,
sheared beaver and kidskin are
popular and equally flattering.
If you bought a fur Jacket in
stead Of a regular fall coat Of cloth,
you probably know by this time how
simple 1t Is to build an entire
wardrobe around the little coat
Slim or subtly flared skirts with
sweaters or interesting blouses are
an excellent start. Furthermore, I'M
less the fur definitely comes under
the heading Of sports-raccoon or
muskrat, for instance-youIl wear
the jacket over dinner and perhaps
evening gowns all winter.
