Fence-post arms, cantaloupe biceps, a bull peck; a shoulders always have been my secret y ever, the only thing appearing on the horizon is a pot. . So you can understand how overjoyed I was when Kenneth J. Galm Too! Co. placed a cardboard million-pound weight in the window. There was a chance to show off a bit. All in good fun.

EVER VISIT Muscle Beach in Santa Monica where the gods of rippling muscles play day after day? ‘The loafers would have blown steel gaskets at the sight of a peewee hauling so much iron. Might have driven a few of them into defense factories. The black cardboard weight was perfect, tipping the scales at 41; pounds. I could lift that much with one hand and have power to burn. ,

On the corner of Maryland St. and Kentucky ?

Ave., just as I stepped out of Galm’s, a driver of a tractor-trailer, big and burly as usual, almost knocked the spotlight over as - he watched “Muscles” instead of the angle of the corner. the weight, knowing it to be a fake, didn’t prevent me from getting a tremendous charge at seeing the trucker gape. You know how big and strong you feel with a baby in your arms. I felt like grabbing the front bumper and bouneing the tractor a few’ times to carry out the illusion.

PRACTICALLY EVERYONE on the sidewalks had a comment. Old men laughed. Younger men shouted - surprised remarks. Young women locked smug" with disbelief. High school boys asked to carry the black: weight. A state police officer jokingly warned me to stay off the highways or I would be picked up for overweight. 3 An elevator operator protested that much weight on her lift. Passengers snickered. A couple #numbled they would use the stairs. With all that attention, the padding in my suit felt real. Instead of being 5 feet 11- inches tall, I was well over 6 feet. Power surged through

my arms, If only a wild bull were loose on the.

streets so he could be rendered helpless. If only a truck got stuck in a chuckhole so it could be lifted out. If only a big pully picked on a little orphan, Would he get a surprise, Biff, bang, crash, After about a half hour of hauling the “million pounds,” my back developed a slight pain. Four and a quarter pounds is slightly more weight than I'm used to totin’. A quart of . . . buttermilk or milk is about as big a load as I ever carry. :

Americana By Robert C. Ruark

NEW YORK, Mar. 7—The popular image of the American hero of entertainment has changed abruptly in our time—I guess from now in you got to wear a crew haircut and bone-rimmed specs to raise the goose pimples on the girls. Also, if you are skinny and can’t sing good it helps.

Seems that every time I fall into a nightclub or switch on the television I am confronted by a crew haircut. You know what is a crew haircut. Yale men, advertising men, some sissies, and a great many people in television wear them. Likewise radio and motionpicture stars, A crew cut looks as if the owner's head had just been browsed by an undecided sheep. If your head is round, the crew job makes it look rounder. Same for pointed. It never improved anybody but the boys that flaunt 'em say it makes you look younger. We even have crew cut toupees on television today, which is stretching pretty far. And glasses. People used to shun glasses as a curse to popularity. Now they seem to be high style. A young guy named Russell Nype has parlayed horn rims, crew cut, and skinniness into fame as an unheralded star of “Cal Me Madam,” and a lucrative nightclub job. This is a fair score, even for New York

. Oo

IT SEEMS that being unpretty is a decided boon today. Look at Godfrey, which is inescapable, but look at him. If this is any part of palatable my name is Robert Q. Lewis, and look at him, too. Horn-rimmed glasses. Look at David Garroway, Glasses. Hair that is halfway between cowlick and crew cut. Look at Crosby. No hair, except ersatz. I will not suggest that you look at George Kaufman and Abe Burrows. Talent, there, for sure, but beauty went around the corner for a short snort,

STRONG MAN—A loafer got a lift from carrying a "million" pounds on a balmy day.

TYPICAL of the remarks directed at the strong man were: “Hey, Muscles, I'll bet you couldn't figh! your way out of a paper sack.” “Why don’t you garry another million pounds in your other hand. Whatsa matter, no Wheaties this morning?” ° ? “what's inside that box, fertilizer?” “Come over. to our house on Saturday, Muscles. My wife will -have more tha a million pounds to carry.” ¥ “Don’t drop it on the street. chuckholes as it is.” “What did you train on, cream puffs, Muscles?” “If that’s a million pounds I'm 50 féet high in my stocking feet.” I made the mistake of playfully growling at a fellow 30 or 40 pounds lighter and possibly four inches shorter than I am. : “Do that again and I'll wrap that million pounds around your neck,” growled the little fellow. No sense of humor. ® % % A SURPRISING observation was noted. Many persons mistook 1,000,000 for 1000. In this day and age with billions on every tongue, we must have forgotten about the measly figure of one million. But a thousand pounds wouldn't bg any-

thing to sneeze at and lift. It sure wis a beautiful day to be out killing

This Is Golden Age of Ugliness

Douglas. Paul has a face that seems to be suffering from housemaid’'s knee. But he is a romantic smash. Consider the stage. Who is a hero? Sam Levene, in “Guys and Dolls.” Sam is pretty? Although I will say in behalf of both that neither have come down with the crew yet, and this is retroactive to Burrows, who owns 50 few hairs that chewing them would make small

point. The crew cut has even infected the females. Miss Mary Martin is a right pretty Texas girl but she has been affecting a.crop job for a couple of years, now, in “South Pacific’ and has sponsored the erosion of the female coiffure all over the country. You have to ask for a draft card to tell the boys from the girls. I have noticed, on the TV screen, that the bagged eye is very popular now, especially with female stars. Nobody could be so unchivalrous as to name names here, but, kids, that camera is merciless on the pouched eye and the sagging chin-and-neck department. You .can count the crowfeet, by * *

THIS is all kind of nice, of course, because there are so many more unbeautiful people than there are beautiful people. There is hope for everybddy . today. It is the golden age of ugliness. Singers do not have to sing. Romantic leads can be over 60. Money can be made from being mildly repulsive. Actors do not have to act, and you can prove that for yourself by atténding movies and watching TV. * > The situation halfway tempts me to a career outside the newspaper business. 1 got two chins, no hair to speak of, can't sing, can't play, and am roughly as intelligent as the average contestant in a quiz show. If this doesn't make me a candidate for distinction in the-arts (and money) I am Sherman Billingsley, the only successful television actor with a : half-bald toupee.
