Grew Thirty Inches In Just Three Years The first experiment to save a woman from remaining the size of a ten -year-old child is report- ed to have been an unqualified success. In 1949, the bone structure of a 141/2 -year-old New York school- girl was no more developed than that of girls ten years and nine months old. Her height was only 4 ft. 5 in, Doctors injected somatotropin, a hormone which had produced astonishing results with stunted animals. Now, at 181, the pa- tient is a petite, but adequate, young woman, five feet tall. The announcement was made by Dr, Ephraim Shorr at a recent joint meeting of the Diabetics Asso- eiation and the Endocrine Soel- ety. Somotoropin is a hormone of the pituitary gland; it makes the body efficient at its job of turn- ing food into living tissue, The case of a girl who had grown 2 ft., 6 in. in three years, by the use of somatotropin, was also reported, "LITTLE WILLIE" Willie minced his Uncle Choever With a butcher knife and cleaver, Mother said, "He shan't be shut ups He always was a little cut.up." Bald -Heald* Organize An aasociation Of "Bald -Pates Of the U.S.A." has been founded in Port Arthur, Telma. The asso- elation's purpose Is mainly to en- courage bald -heads who, it says, more often than not tend to suf- fer from an inferiority complex. Another of its aims is to create an international link between bald -pates in countries all over the world. The members of this new association are universally men, labourers, merchants, com- pany directors, chimney sweeps. At their first meeting recently, with heads uncovered, the mem- bers of the club marched through the town, accompanied by maids Of honour. They carried large bannera.and transparencies with ouch inscrip- tions as "Girls prefer heads with- out fur," "We are free from the hairdressers' tyranny," "There is no law to cover your brain with straw," and "Don't hide your head under a bushel." While on their march, a bold hairdresser tried to sell them wigs and hair -growing remedies. But the man was quickly relieved of his goods, and saw them burn- ed afterwards on a huge pyre by the contemptuous "baidies.' Each year the association in- tends to elect the man with the most shining head as their mas- cot. The regulations for this com- petition forbid the use of polish. Mrs, Peggy Jekins, a widow, has been made honorary presid- ent of the association, because in a marriage advertisement she had written: "I am looking for a marriage partner with a bald head, as all men of good charac- ter are recognisable by their mirror-like skulls." Now, with so many men to choose from, Mrs. Jenkins finds herself on the spot. Ate The Evidence Brasillian lawyers are stili laughing at one of their col- leagues who succeeded in get- ting his client acquitted on a counterfeit charge and then ac- cepted five one -hundred dollar billa for his fee. When he took them to the bank he discovered they were forged. Almost as funny was the case Of the Tokio taxi-driver who had his cab stolen and hailed another to take him to the police station. Once inside he realized that he was riding in his own taxi. Because his rivals were adver- tising their cars at "glve-away prices," a Vancouver dealer of- fered a model as "a theft at one thousand and seventy. dollars." Ile did not see it any more after the first night. A detective watched Mrs, Do - =gala walk off with eight rolls from a Detroit baker's shop. The joke was on him when he got her to the station to charge her. She had eaten the evidence on the way. But the story which amuses everyone in Monte Carlo, except the Casino authorities, is of the suicide who walked off with the money. When the run of suicides has been too high for a period, offi- cials have been known to race out into the gardens when they hear a shot and fill the dead man's wallet to prevent another "broken gambler's suicide" story reaching the papers. They slipped twenty-two thous- and francs into one young man's pocket just as the police arrived en the scene. The "corpse" jump- ed up, wiped tomato juice from his face and walked off with the money and police protection. Puff, Puff, Puff — This nicotine machine consumes approximately 15 cartons of cigarets daily in quest of any harmful agents in tobacco smoke. Dr. Alvin I. Kosak watches the puffing perform- ance of the smoking demon. Relaxing Rulers—Like many a Canadian businessman, Emperor Hirohito of Japan relaxes after work by chatting with his wife, Empress Nogako, and reading a paper. The royal pair are shown above at Hayama Imperial Villa in Tokyo. Television -. .,.,rens acs t s .p Rough 8°' Shoplifters . tG'rs Rough days are ahead for shop- lifters around Cleveland. An un- seen eye (o TV camera -viewer combination), has been perfect- ed as an aid to help detectives match wits with sleight-of-hand artists in department stores. The first dry run proved successful with the store detective nabbing the "criminal." The camera was pointed at a department which is often a target of the thieves. Seated in front of the TV cam- era, in an office, was W. J. Boll, head of the protective division of the Retail Credit Men's Asso- ciation. Acting as the villain was .1. H. Brennan, who slipped the locket underneath his coat when the clerk turned her head. Before the "shoplifter" was out of the store, Boll tapped him on J. H. Brennan, acting as the department store "shoplifter," the shoulder. If the gadget snatches the locket and hides it under his overcoat while ... catches on, Cleveland will be a bad "channel" for the light- fingered clan.
