& SAAS “BEARD MAGIC—It's but in the clinch,

WE'RE ALL creatures of habit, whether we want to admit it or not. There's a sense of comfort apd well-being derived from doing certain things a ‘certain way, : Disrupt a routine, ruffle a ritual, shuffle a reflex and a man rears his ugly head and screams. That's what I did when Max Factor, maker of “cosmetics of the stars,” hit me in the puss with a thing called Lazy Shave.

Stubble-scraping is, to put it mildly, a curse.

nd my guard went up as oon as Max*Factor was going to show me “How to Miss a”Shave Without Showing It.” I knew of only one way: Gunny sack over the head,. Max suggested a “new kind of masculine grooming requisite.” It is unfair to make up your mind that your ag'in a new-fangled idea without a trial. But when you speak of shaving in a lazy way, missing a shave and not showing the bristles, something

LAZY SHAVE is applied to the face

a compressed talc. It is with a small bag which resembles a compact holder made of suede-like material. I've seen pancake makeup and I would say Lazy Shave comes pretty close to it. The idea of smearing the stuff on mv face was revolting. - Understand. I'm a razor. lather, witch hazel man. The sweet-smelling stuff has no place on my shaving shelf. Christmas gifts that have an odor strohger than castile soap are passed on or exchanged when possible. The talc is scented. Lazy Bhave is designed to “fill a long-felt need of men whose occupations keep them on the go at odd hours of the day by giving them a ‘fresh-shaved-look’ on a moment's notice.” Uh, huh. “It can be handily carried on the person, kept in a drawer or an automobile glove compartment.” Eveg the thought of carrying a cake of powder and dauber on my person gives me the whammies. What a ginger-peachy thing it would be to

It Happened Last Night

By Earl Wilson

NEW YORK, Oct. 13—0. O. MglIntyre used to write about New York being a small town and being made up of small-towners and out-of-towners. , : It still goes. Looking around at the Big Names I have to cover, I notice that it's the people from “away” that seem to have the drive necessary to lick New York and Hollywood. I got to noticing this again during the baseball playoff and the World's Series when we got real small townish here. “Sakes alive!!” . . . as we used to say—us Manhattanites got out our cars and put signs reading “Durocher for President” on them and drove around Broadway just like we used to do when we had “bellings” for newlyweds on Main Street. : Leo Durocher, by the way, is a small town boy—from West Springfield, Mass. Laraine Day Is from Roosevelt, Utah. You see, I sort of collect the home town of celebrities. : Maybe I"m sensitive to this because I come from Rockford, O., which before that was Shane's Crossing, O: I never got to a big city till I was The big city was Toledo and it seemed too

big for me. I vowed to stay in Rockford the rest of my life, > 9 + “WHERE you from?” I'm always asking people. i

“S8an Francisco,” Joe DiMaggio will answer . . which I knew anyway . . . but further questioning brings out he's from Martinez, Cal. I don’t know wheré Martinez is exactly, but I'd guess it's a nice pface with pleasant, polite and modest people living in it. And when you probe further, you find a lot of them have this other city or town in their background. - Glenn McCarthy and Houston are synonymous, practically--but they say he was born in Beaumont. Jane Russell, who is one of Hollywood's symbols lately, comes from Lake Bemidji, Minn Jersey Joe Walcott's from Camden, eh? Nope Rather yep. From Merchantsville, which they tell me {sa suburb. ‘ Russell Nype, a “Chicago boy,” pleads guilty to being from Zion, Ill. Big Hollywood box office star John Wayne is from Winterset, Iowa.

Americana By Robert C. Ruark

NEW YORK-—Oct. 13—-The big man belted the fat three-zero pitch and he swung from his old sore heels and he hit it the way he always

used to hit it and it shoulda gone for a triple.

but it was a beaut double, anyhow. It didn's make any difference that he got thrown out on Aa sacrificial bunt that day. He had been walked twice on purpose, so's the Giant pitcher could get at a guy who had merely won the semi clincher the day before with a basecrammed homer. And the walk - was the win, it turned out. And he had more or less taken the tough one Monday with the only homer that looked and sounded like a real one, this beat-up old boy who is just ‘about through. And I hope he is through. I hope this was the last tinte he ever swings a bat in anger, because Mr. Jaseph Paul DiMaggio, festooned in broken records, wound up what might well be his last season with pride, as he always worked with pride. All the pride of the man as seen in the eighth inning when he went for the fat pitch, sure and haughty, when he just as easy could have waited out the third walk. > & @

DIMAGGIO was weary of walks, the last day that put the finish on the series, and could be said to have also put the finish on DiMaggio. Twice they passed him to get to Gil McDougald, the Yankees’ best hitter—the man who set up the kill with a four-run homer which is so rare in a series that the honor is shared by only two others, That is respect, in spades, to a tired old fellow with a slow swing, who is generally *conceded to be all done.

get caught by a few of thy friends whipping out a cake of powder. I doubt if I would get out of the locker room alive. After-shave powder isn't objectionable and neither is shaving lotion. As all men know, there is a fine line of demarcation when it comes to the use of toilet articles. Men don’t do certain things, period. And yet I had to give Lazy Shave a whirl.

WONDERS NEVER cease. Lazy Shave was applied carefully. The effect was closely scrutinized. I didn’t look for the good points especially, I was out to find the flaws. had disappeared. Hmmmm. » Even with the bright sun shining on the mirror the effect was startling.” No matter what I did or how much the beard, which I knew was there, scratched my hand, it was necessary to admit the over-all effect was good. At 7 p. m., in the halflight of a dingy room where cocktails were being served, I could imagine excellent possibilities: On the verge of yielding to Max Factor, 1 thought of Lazy Shave's greatest drawback. A man might be able to cover his beard and make it practically invisible, What does he do should an occasion present itself where he must place his

cheek gently against a lady companion’s face? At

a dance, say. It is from experience that I speak, womén do not care for stubble. A lady fair will shun you for many reasons and a prickly chin is at the top of the list. You can get’away with a full beard and/or a mustache. You're a dead duck with stubble unless, of course, you happen to be married to the gal. Mr. Factor, Lazy Shave can pass many tests. In an emergency it will get a man through an evening at a church social. In a clinch, though, Lazy Shave lets you down. Thanks, all the same. Can you send me some razor blades?

DiMag Should Quit At Peak of Glory

The most rabid Giant fan, and by far the noisiest, that I know, a Miss Eileen Wilson, completed the wreckage of her vocal cords when Joe hit the homer the other day. Miss Wilson sells some sort of cigaret, by singing, when she i= not annoying me and the world with shrill screams in favor of the Giants, and she is intolerant of Yankee fans to the point of physical combat. But she turned to my one undeafened ear just before Joe hit the homer and said, quite honestly: “Please, God, let DiMaggio hit just one good one.” 1 told this misdirected thrush that she need not waste. her sympathy, her possibly spurious pity, on a good man. So Joe hit one, about that time, and I swear she hollered louder than when Stanky kicked the throw out of Rizzuto's fist. Then: she turned and et up some mild fellow who had the temerity to murmur that maybe the Yanks still had a chance. * Sb POINT IS that DiMaggio, on a very so-so season, and a from-hunger series in the first three games, finally delivered in the face of compassion tinged with contempt, and he quit it with a high head and all the honor that any athlete may accrue. For him no anti climax, pathos, as happened to Babe Ruth, when he left it too late. Joe, if he quits, quit real loud. You can always be wrong, but I think he wouldn't quit strong if he attempts to play regularly next year. Maybe they take him out of the clean-up spot. Maybe he is benched for a newer and fresher candidate. Maybe he begins to reap the boos, which had started already this year— and, what's worse, the pity, so that the opposi-

HENN

This is a message of hope. Drawn from progress being made by research teams in Indianapolis, the message is aimed at ‘the man who looks healthy but isn’t—the man who carries a pocketful

of nitroglycerin tablets and lives in fear of a fatal heart attack. For that man, for thousands like him suffering from heart trouble, and for countless thousands who face the threat of heart disease in the future, here's the message: Medical aid may be nearer than you think. White-coated men and women are working long hours at General Hospital and Indiana Jniversity Medical Center to find cures for high blood pressure and hardening of the arteries.

They are experimenting in scrubbed laboratories with injections of new substances,

looking for faster, safer reHef from heart attacks. They are patiently studying the life-giving pump inside the human chest, charting new paths for the keen-edged scalpel to follow in repairing malformed ahd damaged hearts. They can't promise success. In fact, they can’t promise

anything. All of them know the disappointment of weary failure after initial hopes. They give only . cautious . reports: This experiment looks promising," that one looks ‘“hopeful;” another shows “nothing so far.’ To forge ahead, they need more time. They need more trained co-workers. : But the goal is there. And there's a good chance of reaching it in Hoosierland, because Indianapolis has unusually good facilities for research and generous people to support those facilities. In his book-lined office at General Hospital, Dr. Kenneth G. Kohlstaedt works in a dual capacity. He is president of the IndianaHeart Foundation, an organization which channels donations by the public into grants for carrying on research. And he is director of Lilly Research Clinic, which is privately financed. Dr. Kohlstaedt has frequent contact with Dr. Charles Fisch, who works with members of

choline, an amino acid, will.aid persons who have deposits of crystals under the walls of their blood vessels. Blood clots tend to form over the crystal deposits. If the clots choke off the blood flow at an important point, a final, fatal attack occurs. Upstairs, in white-walled Lilly Clinic, Dr. Kohlstaedt follows the teamwork of doctors, technicians and dieticians who are fighting high blood pressure. A new drug is needed to dilate the

blood vessels and ease the agonizing pain of heart attacks, without bringing on the

throbbing headaches induced by nitroglycerin. Another program the

In the past 12 years, heart ! surgery has come a long way.: But there are still many cons. ditions for which no :corrective! operations have been developed. Of all heart malformations, most common is failure of the: dividing wall inside to close normally, leaving a hole in the, septum. i IU speeialists are trying to seal off the hole in animals by: sewing body tissue over it, just like sewing a patch on pants. ‘Though preliminary experiments show promise, satisfactory ways to anchor the tissue must be found and other problems solved before the oper ation is ready for trial in patients.

More progress has been made toward -closing this hole than’ in repairing leaky heart valves, a job which also calls for body: tissue to be used as a support, Tremendous strain on the transplanted tissue tends to break it, at least up to this point. Perhaps the operation: will some day be perfected here for use with human patients +. + +» perhaps not. Obviously, delicate heart surgery depends on a precise study of the heart and its functions. Dr. Paul R. Lurie, aided by an Indiina Heart Foundation grant, works in Riley Hospital research laboratories on an improved way to measure blood flow. He hopes to perfect a method of analyzing contents of the human breath, a method which up to now has been cumbersome and slow,

Others are measuring hundreds of hearts by X-ray. They want to set up a chart for doctors which will show what normal heart size and shape ought to be at differing ages. : The hunt for new techniques and new drugs goes on behind laboratory doors, where the average man has an important part in research. He's the one who contributes, whe finances the search. His money, given from the hearty goes back to the heart,

There's a Club Meeting Coming Up Here for Contest Fans

Hoosiers, who find it blessed to receive as well as give, like to enter contests, Some of them take the trail of the boxtop and soap wrapper so often they consider it a hobby. Naturally, birds of a hobby like to get clubby. Thus there exists an organization known as the Indiana State Contest Club, which will meet at the Washington Hotel Oct. 26-28. Miss Mary Carter, 1220 Park Ave., a charter member of the hope-springs-eternal group, says the convention is an excuse for inveterate contesters to get together for a chat about the prizes they haven't won. Won or lost, the prizes are considerable. To those who can write 25 consecutive words, or less, bighearted manufacturers all over the country vie for the honor and privilege of giving fantastic sums. By one estimate, at least $20 million is tossed out annually in national, state and local contests. Perhaps 5 million persons take an occasional flier at harvesting this manna. Only 10,000 or so consistently strive to promote baby a new pair of shoes, Miss Carter, who wins so little she has a regular job handling the payroll for Indiana Employment Security Division, is disturbed when the envious refer to persistent contesters as “professionals.” “A professional is- one who makes his living at his profession,” said she. “lI don't see how anybody could live on what they win in contests. It's too uncertain. Why, even if you won $20,000 at once, you might not win anything again for five years. And taxes are high on the big prizes.” “Contesting is a hobby,” insisted Miss Carter. “It's really

on the answer to. “What's Wrong with Hollywood?” “TI won $280 once, right here in Indianapolis,” said Miss Carter. “I guessed the exact score of a basketball game between the Indianapolis Jets and the New York Knickerbockers. But I don't consider that a regular contest.” Chief sport of contesters during the coming event will be

“Some companies, like Proee tor & Gamble,” said Miss Carter, “prefer the ‘plain Jane' kind of entry. It looks like it was dashed off impromptu, but it has a new idea or a new use for the product in it. “Some judges like ‘mystis three’ combination, like ‘no rubbing. no scrubbing, no tubbing.’ When a new idea comes along and wins a big prize, everybody tries it. Even after the novelty wears off, it's still good for local contests.”
