Henry Hammel feeds a three-year-old at a 'battalion party for children of Wakamatsu Ryo Orphanage, near Camp Gifu, Japan. The men presented clothing, food -and toys to orphans at the party. Grew Thirty Inches In Just Three Years I 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 ].949, 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- ciation and the Endocrine Soci- 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 ease 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 Chewier With a butcher knife and cleaver, Mother said, "He shan't be shut up; He always was a little cut-up." Bald -Heade Organize An association of "Bald -Pates of the U.S.A." haw been founded in fort Arthur, Texas, The uaso- ciation'e purpose is mainly to en- courage bald -heads who, it saye, more often than not tend to suf- ter 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, merchant!, 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 banners and transparencies with such 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 these 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 "baldies," Each year the association in- tends to elect the man with the most shining head as their mas- cot. The regulations for this come 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. She Ate The Evidence Brazillien lawyers are stUl laughing at one of . their col- leagues rileagues who succeeded in get- ting his client acquitted on e counterfeit charge and then **- opted -cepted five one -hundred doio bine 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 war riding in his own taxi. Because his rivals were adver- tising their ears at "give-away prices," as Vancouver dealer of- fered a model as "r theft at one thousand and seventy dollars," Re did hot see it any more after the fl ht. first night. r g A detective watched Mrs. Do- mogala 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 1111 the dead man's wallet to prevent another "broken gambler's suicide" story reaching the papers. They ;lipped twenty-two thous- and francs into one young man's pocket just as the police arrived on the scene. The "corpse" 'jump- ed up, wiped tomato juice from his face and walked oil with the money and police protection.
