WHAT MAKES A BETTER picture of health than a strapping lifeguard. with one of those million dollar sun tans? Can you think of anything?
Rud unt beat me. tothe -punch and say a shapely
young lady with the lifeguard emblem on her bathing suit, because today we're going to be scientific. With my little light meter I ent to search the municipal pools for the lifeguard with the best sun tan. My mission was a success from many angles. So let's hurry on to Willard park where my first tests were made. Ah, ves, Willard park where Rosemary Bergman and Patty Meyer stand guard for that first sign of distress. 1 explained to Patty that I was searching for the guard with the best tan in the city. The selection would not be haphazard. I would trust nothing to my eyes alone except the light meter reading. Rosemary said she understood. 1 hope so.
A Beautiful 200
THE LIGHT meter has a scale which is marked from zero to 1600. It is placed about 12 inches from the surface to be tested. The darker the surface the lower the figure and vice versa. Would Rosemary please stand with her back to me while I took the reading of her sun tan? She would, and I read a most beautiful 200. Those kids in Willard park don't know how lucky they really are. But let's get on with the business, Patty stepped up in a sporty aqua suit that knocked my—that made the light meter quiver. She was checked in at 285. Now 200 and 285 might not mean much. But think of those two numbers and try to visualize what 430 would be like beside them. That's what the light

took & 185 plus. To the question of how. does one
acquire such a tan, Ed said you just get it. Head guard Bill Clark stepped down from his perch and immediately the scientific eye could see that he was really well done. The light meter hesitatingly crawled up to 160 and stayed. Bill had the sun tan of champions. Buttoning my collar and rolling down my shirt sleeves, I asked for some inside dope on how to get tanned, not burned. “All I do is use a little oil at the beginning of summer and then forget it," Bill said. As easy as that? Yes, with a little caution thrown in.
Ah, back to my favorite type of lifeguard, Bar-| bara Prim hit the light meter for 195. Incidentally,
you users of sun tan oils and the like, Miss Prim takes her sunshine straight. On her it looks good.
At Broad Ripple pool men stand guard. Science plowed straight ahead, No reflections on the men at Broad Ripple except that the feminine figure goes,

The Baby Oil Tan
RHODIUS PARK lifeguards also got a quick
check. All science with Juan Hummel and Bob Lehr. They co-operated with my project but there was no
use to hang around. Juan had 210 points of. sunlight
in his epidermis and Bob had almost 200, The freckles on Bob's back probably confused the light meter a little. On to Garfield park. Bill Clark's 160 was still the best. vio ; Dodging playful youngsters who dripped with water I made my way to the lifeguard stand, Were my eyes deceiving me? Was the heat getting me down? Should I jump into the pool and holler for help? No. My all for science. The young lady removed her sun glasses and calmly told me she was Rosemary Bergman's twin sister. The name was Rosalind. How did I ever pass up studying to be a lifeguard? When we finally got around to science, Rosalind fairly dripped with sunshine and made the light meter read 170. Thirty points lower than her sister Rosemary. (Rosalind uses baby oil on her skin.) Lifeguard Walter Stahlhut had 185 points of sunshine. So, to Ellenberger park goes the distinction of having a lifeguard with the best sun tan. Now, where's my bathing suit? Where shall I swim, Willard, Garfield or Ellenberger?
Big Game Hunter
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—Virginia Brooks, 14, i mighty glum about it. She must pack away he elephant gun and hurry home to graduate from the eighth grade. “I've still got to pass mathematics and history, sighed brunet Virginia, “and theyre my toughest subjects.” But Virginia, from Memphis, Tenn. didn't dc badly with the math when she ran smack into a -full grown bull elephant out in Kenya Colony, East Africa. She took a deep breath, multiplied by six, divided by two, and—wham-—the big fellow was dead all over. “And his tusks weighed 10§ pounds,” said Berry B. Brooks, Memphi¥“potton merchant and sportsman ~—and Virginia's proud father. / The Brooks family, including Virginia Sr. who acted as scorekeeper for her husband and daughter, is resting up at the Waldorf-Astoria before heading for the deep south with their animal booty. Mr. Brooks, an expert marksman, knocked off

A Phenomenal Shot VIRGINIA JR. had never fired at a live animal in her life when we made the safari,” Mr. Brooks said. “She knew the fuidamentals of shooting and that's about all. In two weeks, she developed into a phenomenal shot.” Just to prove it wasn't beginner's luck, Virginia ooolly killed a rhinocerous, a lion, a baboon, a bateared fox, a jackal, two hyenas, a small horned creature called a dik-dik and numerous other-animals, “I thought it was just luck myself,” Mr. Brooks gaid. “Until junior went after a cheetah. They're extremely fast animals. He was steaming up the side of a hill, 250 yards from us. She stopped him with the first shot.”
Just Kepi Firing “I WASN'T FRIGHTENED at all,” Virginia said. “It took me three shots ta bag the rhino, but I didn't worry. I knew if I pulled the trigger long enough, he was bound to drop.” Mr. Rhino was only about 35 feet from the girl ~and headed her way—when he quit running. “1 shot an eland (a horned animal),” Mr. Brooks said. “We were in buffalo country and I didn’t want to use more than one shot. I saw him stagger and decided to follow him until he dropped. After about

I don't know what I would have done if he had waited for me to catch up.” The Brooks took more than 3000 pictures, both still and movies, and they never fired at any animal that stopped long enough to get his puss in a snapshot. Mr. Brooks, it seems, is a true southern gentleman, “Oh,” he said, “I would never kill any animal that! was nice enough to pose for me. After all, it wouldn't be polite.”

Fancy Swimming Pool
HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 22.—Anne Baxter just lost 25 pounds—at the studio's request—and has promised to maintain a strict diet from now on. Virginia Bruce is back at Paramount for “Night Has 1000 Eyes.” Virginia made her first film there as an unknown 16 years ago. She admits to 39, but doesn't look it. “Key Largo’ will be the fourth co- starring film for Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Hollywood swimming pools are getting fancier. June Havoc is building a heart-shaped one. There's still no answer to why the studios film winter scenes in the summer and summer scenes in the winter. The sight of Joan Crawford wrapped in a mink coat and sitting in front of a roaring fire on the “Daisy Kenyon” sel was terrifying. The temprrature outside was 90.
