New Dealers Plunge
Cudahy's Name Info
Wisconsin Race
Make EIeventh-Hour
Attempt to Capture
Senatorial Nomination
Rv the Associated Press.

BY the Associs ted Press.
MILWAUKEE,, Sept. IA con-
fusing hodgepodge of issues was
served up today to Wisconsin voters
who will nominate candidates for
State and national office in the
State primary Tuesday.
For weeks the campaigners OF
the Progressive. Republican and
Democratic Parties stumped the
State, haranguing on the New Deal,
third term and foreign policy ques-
lions, as we'll as the matter of con-
tinuing the Republican administra-
ton of Gov. Julius P. He'll.
Into the maelstrom whipped by
the II formally-e candidates
for United States Senator and the
ii who aspire to the Governorship,
a group of New Dealers plunged
John Cudahy in an eleventh-hour
attempt to capture the Democratic
Senatorial nomination.
Cudahy, Ambassador to Belgium
during the German invasion, was
brought out yesterday-after the
ballots had been printed-so his
supporters ordered 100000 stickers
and started an intensive drive to
put him over as a write-in candi-
date.
Split With Roosevelt Rumored.
Although unconfirmed, rumor per-
sisted that President Roosevelt and
Senator La Toilette, Progressive, OF
Wisconsin, who is unopposed for re-
nomination, had split, apparently
over the Senator's opposition to ad-
ministration foreign policies. 1t
was reported that Cudahys can
didacy stemmed from this.
The President and La Toilette
were regarded as political allies in
former years and many Democrats
believed Mr.. Roosevelt favored his
reelection. Thus, they saw sig
nificance in the launching of
Cudahy's campaign "a hours after
the Senator had broadcast that the
nation was going down the road OF
1861"
James J. KerWin, seeking the
Democratic senatorial nomination,
saw it differently an undercover
attempt to prevent strong Democrat
ic opposition to La Toilette in the
November election.
Kerwin, who said ne approved
Mr.. Roosevelt's major accomplish
mentS and claimed to be the only
candidate espousing consumption
and the Presidents foreign policy,
remarked:
"Cudahv was brought out to de-
feat me, for the purpose of putting
up weak candidate so that IN the
election New Deal Democrats would
have to vote for La Toilette"
Two Other Candidates.
The other Democratic candidates
are William D. Carroll. the party's
State chairman who favored the
nomination of John Garner for
President, and James J. Finnegan,
former State Attorney General who
generally remained silent on the
Ne wDeal and third-term issues.
National Committeeman C. E.
Broughton, advocating Cudahy's
nomination, called all three of the
other candidates "avowed enemies
of the New Deal"
Seven entered the Republican
lists-Dr. Glenn Frank, former pres
ident of the University of Wisconsin
and chairman of the Republican
party's national program commit
tee; Fred H. Clausen, industrialist;

from batting your eyelashes at that
Harvard Junior to blink your ozbs
in the direction of the assembled
multitude. Which girls have grace,
poise and charm? Which ones wear
their clothes well, look well on q
dance floor and walk with grace
and stateliness that means more
than q good Zine" or the latest
shade Of npstick? You won't need
this column to tell you, but you'll
f1nd yourself automatically coming
out Of that "debutante slouch" and
stoop-shouldered sag when you
finally get the idea.
Never stoop
Or SLOUGH.
II you insist upon minimizing that
wonderful height, you can do it, not
by STOPPING but by wearing the right
clothes. Watch the lines of your
clothes and choose those which cut
your figure instead of giving it that
string-bean effect. Choose hats that
don't tower like Ounce cap, but
which sit firmly and securely on
your head. Incidentally, the little
skull caps, or "calots," are an ideal
choice for you. Wear low-heeled
shoes If your heart is set on it, but
don't be afraid Of high heels. Very
often it's better to add part Of an
inch to your height and have your
legs and feet look well groomed than
it Is to have your lower extremities
look drab and unattractive. Be
meticulous about your grooming at
all times. Have your hair arranged
In f1attering way and always look
nicely "in place" Most of all, feel
confident Of your carriage and bear
ing-and never, never apologize for
your height or be self conscious
about it! Haven't we told you it's
an asset?
And one more word to the older
people. Try to catch on that you'll
not be helpful or appreciated If you
make constant references to Anna
Marie's measurements in the vertical
direction. Such kttenish remarks
as, why, you're taller than your
mother" never fails to make Anna
Marie 60 Immediately into her slouch
and lurk around in corners hiding
what she thinks Is nearly . de-
formity. Remember that most
youngsters today are taller than
former generations, and, according
to science, it's good, proper and
healthy. II you must say anything,
make it. why, isn't Anna-Marie

Personality
Displaces
Glamour
'Oomph' Also Bows
To Latest Form of
Publicity Racket
BY DOROTHY DIX.

It's for crying out loud! It does
seem as If what with the war and
the depression and all, we have
about all the trouble we can stand.
but another afdiction is lying In
wait for us. Just as we thought
that the glamour girl and the oomph
girl had gone the way Of all flesh
and that life was going to be worth
nv1ng once more, the personality
girl has arrived to torment us. Great
grief!
Heaven knows that the glamour
girl and the oomph girl have been
hard enough to stand, and we have
felt that we were punished for our
sins beyond our deserts in not being
able to open newspaper or a maga-
zine without being confronted with
their deadpan pictures, and a de-
tailed account Of their clothes and
their dogs, and the night clubs they
went to and the men they were
going to marry. But these suffer-
ings were as nothing compared to
what we are going to have to endure
from the personality girl.
For, according to the way she is
being press-agented, she is viva
cious and impetuous and tempera-
mental and she glows." And il you
don't tremble in fear and horror at
That announcement you are a better
man than I am, Gunga Din, and the
worlds champion optimist.
OF course, what a few silly rich
girls do is nothing to get panicky
over if they keep their crimes to
themselves. If they want to glamour
and oomph, let 'em. If they want
to spend their money in buying
publicity, leave 'em do it. Let them
even exploit their personality II
they get kick out of doing 1t.
But the trouble is that their
example is as contagious as the
measles, and SO the millions of girls
who have spent the last three years
trying to look glamorous and Sc
ductive and mysterious are now
going to 60 into action and do things
which will make our hair stand on
end.
Our temperamental daughters will
be even more faddy and patronizing
and unpleasant to live with than
they are now, and when we think
OF a whole nation of girls trying
to glow We can only throw up our
hands in despair and cry: God help
us! We needn't think we will escape
the personality racket. We will not.
The American girl is the great orig.
lnal copycat. And if it is the thing
to be vivacious and impetuous and
temperamental and glow, our Sallies
and Mamies are going to be it, no
matter whether nature made. them
that way or not.
Which, Of course, is a pity because
originality In people is their greatest
charm, just as the something diff.
ferent in nature or in works Of art,
and in trying to be somebody else
instead of herself q girl throws away
her own line Of attractions and gets
nothing in return.

Acting as though there were moth
ing on his mind, the puppy assumed
standing position. His mistress
viewed him with hope in her heart.
Silently he moved, observing caution

where he'd be away before it realized
he had startedD All went well for
z yards 2 feet and 4 inches. The
boss stumbled and the canine was
jerked into the air.
He was furious! He leaped. He
bucked. He bit the thing which
entangled him with rules of con-
vention and dog books. With cred
liable rapidity he encircled his
trainer 10 times, overthrowing two
grocery boys, one dowager and q

forth to outrun his lead, the tie
which bound.
That's the story Of the boss break

For no matter how scrupulously you
observe the rules, the dog In ques-
ton is always different. You must
allow for interpretations of his own
and hold on tightly to the lead.
One may start breaking the baby
dog to his lead when he's about 3
months old. But don't expect COM
plete accord. Begin by using a very
light collar, a cat-sized one If he
has that sized neck. Just let the
puppy wear it around the house.
He shouldn't 60 out in bad weather,
anyway.
Having let him become accus-
toned to the light collar, fasten a
lead onto the same. Let him drag
it around just to get used to the feel
of the thing. Be careful that he
doesn't take a dislike to having q
lead trail him, though. Take 1t in
short spurts. Then tie long, stout

start walking around the yard.
