 This, by observation of the re- turns, has kept the registrars buster than several of that variety of paper -hanger which Is used to H. lustrate how busy paper-hanger can be, given one arm and an af- fiction. Not to mention, of course, the extra work the registrars have with the enlargement of the voting districts from 20 to 32.
 So far as the ruling of the attor- ney general is concerned regarding elimination from the lists of those convicted of various offenses, il changes the picture somewhat by making the penalty of disenfran. chisement apply to those merely convicted, and not jailed, for the specified offenses.

When Nazi Agent Said
 'Wiedemann' He Very
 Nearly Said Adolf Hitler
By NEA Service

name of Fritz wiedemann was brought into the Nazl spy trial here, the testimony was getting very close to Adolf Hitler himself.
 Widemann is not only iFftler's ad- jutant, but one of his closest ad- visers. Gustave Rumrich, confessed spy for Nazi Germany, testified that when Captain Wiedemann came to the United States last fall, one of the people he talked with was The odore Wiegand, alleged higherup in the spy ring.
 When Wiedemann arrived in November, he told reporters that he was on a vacation. This polite evasion was not taken seriously. verything points to the fact that Wiedemann is a personal sounder- out ut-of-situations for Hitler. MYSTERY
 MAN
 Little is known of the tall, athletic straightforward-appearing captain, even in Germany. With Hitler's other two adputants, his office Is in the Chancellery in the Wilhelm platz in Berlin. He takes care of the blizzard of personal appeals, special reports, pleas for this and that, which always shower thrones of the mighty. He usually accom- panies the Fuehrer on his many trips about Germany.
 Capt. Friedrich Wiedemann is a strange fellow to be at the right hand of Adolf Hitler. The tie is personal rather than political. Wie- demann was Hitler's company com- mander during the World War. As a courier, Hitler was in constant touch with the officers, and was as close to Captain Wiedemann as the regulations of the Kaiser's army permitted between officer and en- listed man.
 After the war, Wiedemann took no apparent part in the swirling politics of revolutionary or republi- can Germany. He retired to . farm in his native Bavaria. Known to be a monarchist and retaining his contacts with the old army officer clique. Wiedemann neverthless took no interest in the Nazi movement fostered by his former dispatch bearer.
 But when Hitler took power in 1883, one of the men to whom he turned was his former captain, and lac ,@ape,,aAaA yXyiadA dAFa anYa "a aV1favs the Chancellery as his adjutant. CLOSE
 TO ADOLF
 Wiedemann's pleasant personality and excellent comand of English made him a natural selection for the trip to the United States h November of 1887. What he report ed to Hitler is not known, but it undoubtedly included an estimate of the attitude of the United States toward European affairs.
 London was Wiedmann's next port of call. He made one trip in the spring of this year, another just before the Czechoslovakian ad- venture.
 Wiedemann is a sportsman, ar excellent rider and fencer, a dar. ing race driver. His army connec' tons are undoubtedly valuable tt Hitler in maintaining relations witt that powerful German group. Des' pite the fact that Wiedemann < no idol of those whose career ir Nazi Germany have been made ir more exclusively party channels his advice is believed to go as fai with Hitler as any mans.

Furthermore, the political leaders who ordinarily support Barkley are a bit riled at him for assertedly temporizing with the Chandler or ganization.

FOR ATMOSPHERE
For The Empire

The boudoir doll has come back She may not talk back like a radio ventriloquists dummy, but she cer- tainly can give atmosphere to a room, whether she reclines, in Ma dame Recamier style on the chaise tongue, or whether she reigns over the bedspread
 Now very obligingly, she adapts her costume to the period of the room style-and to its color scheme.
 Most women prefer the fluffy doll-with billowy flounces of soft taffeta, a fitted blouse with puffed sleeves and ruffled at the neck, and with a large picture hat to match. Streamers, hat bow and flounce binding, are of one color. Pantalettes are of organdy edged with fine lace, matching the foun- dation skirt showing coyly under the flounces..
 Organdy or dotted swiss, with a foundation of tarlatan or stiff lawn may be used if they go better with the room-or satin.
 If you like to sew, you will find opportunity for skill and imagin- ation in a new boudoir dolls out fit And there is printed pat tern that fits a 30-inch doll and gives every detail of cutting and sewing and amount of materials needed. You can pick the doll which is best suited to your tenn perament at most art needlework in the large stores.
 For the early American room. your doll may wear tight-fitting basque with long sleeves, and a full skirt trimmed above the hem with rows of rick-rack braid The costume may be of chintz, cotton print or topped off with ker- chief over the head and tied un~ der the chin.
