Gould Be Stevenson
Little White House
By the Assoeio'ed Press

SOUTHERN PINES. N. c., July
.26.--If Gov. Adlai Stevenson is
elected President the little White
House may be log cabin neal
here.
The cabin is the home of his
sister, Mrs. Ernest Ives, who may
be the official White House hostess
| if her divorced brother is elected
President. She had been the
governor hostess in the executive
mansion at Springfield.
The Illinois governor nominated
by the Democrats has frequently
visited Mr.. and Mrs. Ives in the
last few years at their quaint
log cabin on their Paint Hill farm
He rested there after the 194s
Illinois election campaign.
The cabin is not the rustic type
of the pioneers. It's been fixeo
up into a tasteful home of three
or four rooms and is filled with
antiques.
Mrs. Ives is president of the

% years old. have a pretty good
job. want to marry, but don't
seem to attract men very much.
You warn girls against being ag-
gresSive; and I'm certainly safe
on that point. You say they

that is where I fail. / always feel
particularly inadequate and in
ferior after I've been to the
movies. The actresses are such
warm. ardent creatures! can't
blame any man for falling for
them: but I'm just not like that,
DR.. Popenoe."
Perhaps you should be glad that
you're not just like that, Gladys.
The motion picture actresses can
hardly be taken as a normal pat
tern; and if they marry they
don't always make a success of
it. People differ in their emo
tional responsiveness just as the
differ in size or coloring. Test
yourself on this scale:
/. You enjoy dancing more than
playing cards.
2. You like the idea of being
a nurse better than the idea OF
being a bank teller or librarian.
8. You are an active member
of several social organizations.
4. When watching q play or
movie. you often become deeply
moved.
S. You sing or whistle q good
deal when you are alone.
6. Children, or weak and help
less persons, appeal to your sym
pathies and you, enjoy doing
things for them.
Z. You become enthusiastic and
excited when watching football
game or similar event.
8. You conf1de freely and easily
in friends.
g. You often telephone a friend,
or write a letter, to express ad-
miration or appreciation for
something said or done.
10. Your parents were demon
stratively affectionate with each
other.
No one of those items has to be
taken very seriously; but if you
answer Yes to most of them, you
probably have a warm and out
going disposition. If you answer
no to most Of them, you need to
work little harder on the job of
getting along with people and
making them like you. Cordiality,
or what psychologist Roswell H.
johnson called expressive warm
heartedness," can be very defin-
itely cultivated. He has prepared
a mimeographed sheet of de-
vices to increase low cordiality''
which will be sent to you with the
compliments Of this newspaper if
you enclose a stamped, self
addressed envelope when writing
me for it. Practice in this line
would make life pleasanter for a
great many men and women.
But remember, Gladys, that all
kinds Of people can make success
full marriages, if they know how
and really try. Even if you don't
behave like a movie star, you can
give husband a great many
things that he will appreciate
for example, understanding, COM
radeship, emotional security and
support, good management of the
home, and children.

possible for many of us and there
ARE some other things we can 40
which are helpful.
Here are a few:
l. If you find stockings hot try
painting makeup on your legs.
2. Wear a lightweight summer
girdle. This can make a great
difference.
8. Bubble baths are very cocl-
ing. So are cool showers.
4. Have your hair short for the
hot season or sweep it up of of
your neck. You will look more
attractively cool and you will GER
tainly feel cooler.
S. Cut down on the energy and
heat foods carbohydrates. Eat
less very rich. fatty food and
more lean meat. fresh fruits and
green and yellow vegetables.
6. Lose that extra weight. When
you are overweight you are really
wearing an inner lining.
z. Nothing is more cooling than
exercise. After a workout during
which you work up a good per-
Spiratlon, you will feel cool for

Georgia 10 Back Ticket
Ialmadge Indicates
By the Associated Press

ATLANTA, July 26.-Although
their names won't be on the ballot,
Gov. Stevenson and Senator
Sparkman probably will get
Georgia's Democratic vote in the
Presidential election.
Gov. Herman Talmadge, whose
presidential electors law bars the
names of candidates from the bal
lot, told the Atlanta Journal Con-
Istitution today he expects Georgia
to support the national Demo-
cratic nominees.
Since the law makes free agents
of Georgia's electors, many people
had wondered whether they would
know for whom they were voting
when they cast their ballot this
November.
Both the Democrats and Repub-
Ilicans will have states of electors
on the ballot under the party
names, but the G. o. P. has never
carried this Democratic strong
hold.
Under the electors law, the
Democratic electors will not be
bound, legally or morally, to sup
port any particular ticket. But the
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, which is controlled by Mr..
Talmadge. can be counted on to
name elector- or-candidates who will
