TABLE TALKSckme tees.
Beef is an expensive food all
night — but only if you insist on
using what are sometimes called
the "choicer" cuts.
Actually, those who insist on
such cuts are missing a whole
lot of tasty eating. That's be-
cause, properly handled, some of
the less expensive cuts of beef
have it "all over" the others for
goodness and flavour.
Just try some of the following
recipes and see if you don't
agree.

Open Wide, Please — Sgt. Henry Hammel feeds a three-year-old

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"

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

rileagues who succeeded in get-
ting his client acquitted on e
counterfeit charge and then **-

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

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.
