potentialities get ON the market and are as
promptly driven off by the commission. Or
perhaps this takes another form-such as
wildcat physical culture correspondence
schools"
In one instance the commission encountered
an institution which advertised that through
its course of instruction "puny weaklings may
be converted into physical giants in 80 days"
The private opinion of the commission was
that any one simple enough to swallow a dose
of this sort should go in for brain rather than
body development, but, nevertheless, operations
were terminated.
Another concern of this character was
found to be operated by one man and a cou-
pie of clerks, despite flamboyant ads that pic
tured group of figures prominent in the ath-
letic world as being associated with it,
Sometimes this kind of thing has gone from
the Iudicrous to the pathetic.
In one case turned up by commission invesH-
gators a young, undersized girl in Philadelphia
sent money in response to an advertisement
which stated: mo one need remain small and
undersized; by my wonderful new and scientific
method I guarantee to increase your height
and make you tall and commanding 80 that
you will have no difficulty in securing @ good
position-you take no chances. If you are not
satisfied, I will return your money
The girl wrote that she had followed the in
structions faithfully, and in bitter disappoint-
ment, she patheucally appealed for the return
of her money, saying she had borrowed part
of it from her old and sick grandmother and
some from kind neighbors with the promise
she would repay them all after she had been
made tall and commanding woman and Sc
cured good position.
The commission probers got after the famed
doctor" who was behind this scheme, and found,
among other things. that that gentleman's
height was scarcely feet. Incidentally, he
was ON his way TO do stretch" tn prison ut
last accounts.
Along this general hne too. come the aids
to beauty-and the appeal is not alone TO
women, though the sex Is responsible for
good part Of 1T.
There was a cream guaranteed TO put flesh
wherever 1t was needed; sort OF a finishing
touch for nature. The only requirement was
that 1t be rubbed on the particular spot where
a pound or 80 pickup was desired.
Evening star., 1932-01-24

A careful analysis of this compound de-
veloped that as grease for the hub of auto
mobile 1T probably couldn't be improved upon,
provided the motorist didn't object to pink
tinted fabrication
Another cream also to be rubbed on trou-
bled areas was held out as a sure elminator

preparation to remove the "outer layer"
Of skin leaving the with brand-new coat
also was uncovered during the course Of the
commissions probing. 1t was presumed that
this worked in manner comparable to that
employed by nature on snakes, but the Federal
agency feared that disaster might follow its
application, SO out it went.

color back and tonics that would make "oaIo

And it may be bad news to a lot Of people,
but never has the board encountered single
thing that offered any possibilities for doing
anything about badness.
OOURSES of instruction in lines destined 20
~ Lead to vast financial opportunities
sponsors are speaking-are watched carefully
by the commission, and every once in a while
it becomes necessary to act, particularly where
quick placement IN positions at fabulous
salaries Is held out as lure.
Amy turn of affairs-even death-which hap
pens to center attention a person associated
prominently with some line of endeavor is SUI
ficient TO stir in others the belief that they
may emulate the late spotlight occupant and
it is on this frailty that the nimble- -witted
trade.
The death Of Caruso furnished q good ex-
ample The funeral was hardly over when a
= concern came forth with the announcement
that the secret of the great Italians voice had
been solved, and all those aspiring to operatic
careers could have this knowledge-for q con-
sideration, Of course.
The story was that the hyo-glossus muscle
produced the golden strains which millions had
applauded; hyo-glossus muscle that had been
well developed according to a formula with
which the concern in question was familiar.
1t went further and said that a post-mortem
examination had proved this.
First Of all, commission investigators de-
termined that there had been no post-mortem
performed.
In the second place, expert testimony
adduced to show that the hyo-g -glossus muscle
serves no possible function IN voice tone pro-
duction
Explaining its findings, the commission
said that the hyo-glossus is one of a group
of swallowing muscles intimately connected:
its isolation or separate development is physio-
logically impossible: its function is to depress
the tongue and draw down its sides, so as TO
render it convex from side to side.
And the commissions reward was fine lot
OF abuse from letter writers who, hearing Of
its action, spent two cents to say that they
had been training their hyo-g -glossus and were
doing finely
The money back If NOT satisfied" guarantee
accompanying SO many of these promotions
only serves as another come-on.
One outfit naively explained the working of
Its offer of refund in 80 days if its product
proved unsatisfactory in this way:
II it was returned before 80 days, the custo-
mer hadn't given fair trial. so he didn't get
his money.
II 1t was returned after 80 days, he had "ia-
jured" it, so again, he didn't get his money.
In other words, it had 10 be returned on ths
date ending the 80 days.
Which simply constituted reaffirmation of
the old principle: Never give a sucker an
even break"
Occasionally the commission will encounter
a case that smacks strongly of ancient
yoodooisn, when it is called upon to halt the
sale of such intriguing items as lucky stones,
lucky bags, wishing bones, snake powders,
scientifically mated" lodestones, lodestone
powders, attraction" powders. money drawing

But Not Bridge

It's pretty stiff proposition to
plan to do the yearly improving of
the house in the spring of the year,
and find that the family cash reg
lister will not register the slightest
approval of such an expenditure of
money.
We'll, you may do one of two
things: You may go ahead with the
work and get into a heavy debt. or
you may let the work alone and
find the house in twice as bad a
condition next year, when you go
over it to see what needs to be done.
That is where Alvin Porter comes
in handily to your assistance. II the
job of improvement is paper hang
ing and painting and interior decor
ating, then Mr.. Porter can show you
how it may be done, easily and to
Your satisfaction. You see, in addi-
ton to papering or painting your
house, he will finance the job for
you. and there is the solution to
your problem.
