Why bald barbers all of a sudden? Well, Some printed matter emanating from Northwestern University passed through my hands on the way to a wastepaper . basket, The first paragraph instructed a reader to “count the number of bald barbers, who have access to all the tonics on the market” if the reader ‘was tempted “by cosmetic ads for the cure of ordinary baldness.” Ordinary baldness is no concern of mine. (Pardon me while I knock on wood.) There is plenty of stuff upstairs for

* & » THE interesting angle was the printed uppercut to cures for baldness and the conclusion that shiny pates were hereditary, Dr. Otto Rattner, professor of dermatology at the Northwestern

University Medical School, was the man responsible for the remarks.

He thinks mysticism and superstition have clouded the subject of falling pe Dr. Rattner 8coffs at the old belief that baldness is associated with superior mentality. Hair follicles screamed “Daddy” when Dr} Rattner mentioned a favorite ancient Egyptian salve for a receding hairline composed of equal parts of the fats of the lion, hippopotamus, crocodile and serpent. Poor Egyptians. From a dusty barber's manual, Dr. Rattner Quoted a cure: “Ashes of little frogs, applyd suddenly, ¢ureth the fall of hair.” ‘ eo @ HE ALSO mentioned rubbing an ailing pate with the middle bark of an eim tree, a water cress and onion massage followed by an application of honey and boxwood. Dr. Rattner says, to all this and modern treatments, too, pish-posh. Baldness, the good doctor says, is hereditary. “No effective cure has yet been found to remedy

NEW YORK, ' June 16—I've flipped . . , as they say around Broadway. I've become a delirious Virginia Gilmore fan—because she's not a sweet dame type. Sweet? Say, dig this bit about the beautiful blonde wife of Yul Brynner. “Expelled?” echoed the busy actress (who looks a little like & younger Alice Faye) when I asked about her being bounced out of San Mateo, Cal, High School three times on the way up to rendwn. “Suspended,” she corrected. “I was trying to get expelled. My girl friend, -Jane, said the only way to get out. of school and become an actress was t

“How I tried. I smoked a : cigaret in the commissary at Mr. Wilson the teachers’ table. They suspended me. I tried dyeing my hair, We got some peroxide and went up into the hills. It was the wrong kind of peroxide. We poured it on my head and all it did was foam. x “I ran away from school and worked in a ghastly little dress shop. “Mother didn’t know I wasn’t in school.

son will be bald. Why the daughter isn’t bald, Dr. Rattner doesn't explain. What does a bald barber think of Dr. Rattner’s theory? Roy Robinson, barber at the Sheets Barber Shop, 145 E. Ohio 8t., who has been barbering for 46 years and has been Bald for 35, is in Tull agreement. “If I could do something to bring back my hair, I'd certainly do it, wouldn't I?” asked Mr. Robinson. “He’s (Dr. Rattner) absolutely right.” L SE SE

THE BARBER didn't rule out diseases of the scalp and physical ailments as causes of baldness. And he is a firm believer in keeping the scalp clean. But, he is equally firm in his belief that if granddad and dad were bald, Junior Is going to be bald and there is precious little that can be done about it. Once the hair is gon

that he has cut,’ Mr. Robinson recommends a mild castile soap, brush and comb and a shampoo once a month unless you're a coal miner. M. H, Lowe, co-owner of the Ballard Barber Shop, 206 N. Delaware St. disagreed with Dr. Rattner and Mr. Robinson. “There is a specific reason for every case of baldness,” said Mr. Lowe. “I lost my hair in World War 1.” He said if each case of baldness was traced, a particular cause would be discovered. Fortythree years of barbering, latest scientific findings, lectures have taught him that.

eS Sb CURING baldness was hair of another color. Mr. Lowe suggested counting bald doctors. If doctors knew of a way to grow hair they would do it. If he knew a way he'd be a millionaire. “The majority of cases of baldness are due to the influx of old age,” concluded Mr. Lowe. Anyone in the balcony ever have luck with growing haip? What happened to you gentlemen in the front row leaning on the runway? Do I hear any testimonials for ashes of little frogs, bark of an elm tree and oil of crocodile?

Oh, oh, a hair is loose and . . . thar she goes. _

It Happened Last Night

Virginia Gilmore: No Sweet Dame Type

“I decided to go to Hollywood and try to get a contract. It was crazy. “I had buck teeth and short hair and was very fat. But my mother knew an agent. “The agent knew A. C. Blumenthal. He was going to Sam Goldwyn’'s for brunch. He said he’d take me along as a gag. Somebody lent me a dress. Somebody else lent me a fur piece.

“Well, Goldwyn went for it, but he said my teeth were so awful I'd have to keep my mouth shut. “Dapa Andrews and I-hoth had our teeth straightened at the Goldwyn studio ,at the same time. >

“Later on I got to hate Goldwyn. At: night .

NEW YORK, June 16—It-seems to me that one thing should be made clear, this year, before personalities get involved. That is a complete, public, and honest physical check on the health of the candidates involved for the presidency, once they've been duly nominated. Franklin D. Roosevelt was a dying man when

for age and you peer around for traces of the glanders and spavin. They make you pass a physical to be a private in the Army. When you buy a slab of real estate you get special lawyers to check titles and preen over old landmarks. They slap a special brand on the steak you buy and a special grade on the milk you drink, and, by. golly, this time I wish no potential invalids as candidates for the most important job in the world. The presidency, as every man knows, is a killing task, When you elect a President, the
