GENIINI

This is popularity called the
twin sign" and astrologically
describes anyone born from May
22nd to June 22nd. These people
often have two interests or de-
velop two careers at the same
time. A business man born here
may pride himself on also being
an authority on tropical fish or
scientific weather forecasting
Let us carry out this double
idea in our Christmas gift. For
one harmonious present cor
responding to this personality
take a glass from your jelly
shelves. In this you will have
delicious dark Concord grape
jelly.
Then take a glass of light

crabapple jelly, but either will
be acceptable to the Gemini

Frances Modern.
'Du Barry Dies
In Auto Accident

LONDON, July 26 (UP)-The
death of Frances modern Madame
Du Barry" was reported today. She
was the Countess Helene De Portes
and was credited with having had
great influence over former Premier
Paul Reynaud at the time of
Frances collapse and capitulation
to Germany.
The countess was killed in the
same automobile accident in which
Reynaud was injured. 1t occurred
June 28 near Montpelier. Reynaud
and the countess planned to marry
this fall.
Reports of the countess death
were received from the French en-
bassy in Washington which report
edly had been instructed to notify
her two children who had gone to
the United States.
The diplomats said her sympa-
thies were with the Petain- Baudoin
group and that she may have weak
ened Reynaud's determination to
continue the struggle against Ger
many, from north Africa if neces-
Sary.
The countess was a friend of Paul
Baudoin, a little known business
man who influenced her political
views. She repeatedly persuaded
Reynaud to make him under secre-
tary for foreign affairs and also had
hand in other important appoint
ments and dismissals. She was said
to have been anti-British and took
a strong dislike of William C. Bullitt,
United States ambassador to France.

Voters Who viii Decide Presidential
Election Haven't Yet Made Up Minds

WASHINGTON, July 26 CUP)-
The independent vote with variable
party ties will determine the pres
idential contest between Franklin
D. Roosevelt and Wendell L. Will
kie but has not yet made it's choice,
the first of the post-national con-
vention polls indicated today.
The magazine Fortune reported
that Willkie, Republican president
1al candidate, was a substantial fav-
orite over President Roosevelt in
northern, eastern, midwestern and
scattered states which combine to
cast preponderance of electoral
college votes.
But Mr.. Roosevelt won 44.3 per
cent of the nationwide expression
or favor in the Fortune poll-he
was high in the south-to 40.8 per
cent for Willkie OF the remainder,
eight per cent preferred other can
didates, refused to answer or said
they would not vote and SO per
cent were undecided. That SO of
indecision would be enough to win
for either candidate.
The president piled up big marg-
ins of favor in south Atlantic
states, the east south central and
west south central areas. He tied
with Willkie in the mountain states
poll and trailed the Republican
nominee elsewhere in states with an
aggregate electoral vote majority.
Fortune reported that analysis of
the poll revealed Willkie weakness
among farmers and labor and sug-
gested that it might develop dis
astrously for the G. o. P. ticket
but concluded that the 81 don't
know" vote still holds the 1910
Balance of power.
The poll was accompanied by
further twitching but no great
