CLOSEST ASSOCIATE IN BUSINESS
WRITES SERIES ON WILL ROGERS

ing and Hoover and Roosevelt" he
said. land I'll kid any President of
the United States. They let me get
away with it, George It's because
there amt no malice in my heart,
and everyone knows it,"
Although Rogers continually
scoffed when people commented on
his acting ability. the fact remains
that he was the top man of all
screen players In Hollywood.
Il amt smart enough to act" he
used to grin. IF they can find a
| role that's sorta like me, I'm okay."
Last year, 5000 theatre owners all
over the country voting entirely
from a box office angle on the
amount of money brought in by in
| dividual players, overwhelmingly
ranked Rogers as Public Favorite
No. l.
His first talking picture, They
Had to See Paris" was released in
September, 1919, and since that
time there have been 18 more Rog-
ers productions shown throughout
the world. None of them brought
in less than $1,000,000 and many
much more than that, and 1t is
estimated that in the six years he
has been active on the talking
screen he earned his company no
less than 25,000,000.
Leads All Beauties
This is a far greater sum than
all the Carlos and Shearers and
Harlows and other queens. of the
screen combined have every brought
in, proving that home-spun virtues
and homely comedy have a very
tangible market value after all.
In his many pictures, Rogers
never kissed any of his numerous
screen wives, except for an occas-
ional peck on the cheek. He stead
faStly refused to "go into clinch,"
saying, Il never kissed nobody but
Betty Blake in my life, and I amt
goin' to start now" Betty Blake,
of course, is Mrs. Rogers.
Rogers was fond of calling him
self an ambassador at large, and
wrote numerous magazine n d
newspaper articles about his anus
ing experiences in various parts of
the world. While he always cloaked
his observations and Shrewd COM
mentS under a sugar coating of hu-
NOR, there is ample evidence that
his ideas received serious consider
alton in the chancellories of the
world.
His humanitarian is we'll known
no person in Our life time has
given so literally of his time and
talents as Will Rogers to better
conditions of his fellow men. His
philanthropy, while carefully hid
den in all cases under the cover of
anonymity, reached tremendous
proportions, even members of his
family having no comprehensive
idea of the many thousands of dol
lars he handed out to help less
fortunate ones along the path of
life.
His range of activities was tre-
mendous, so much SO that in a
short series of this sort only the
high spots of his career can be
touched on. Some of his more out
standing achievements will be de-
tailed in subsequent installments.

CHILD BORN
MINUS BRAIN

NEW YORK, Aug. 10. U.H - A
baby that lived 81 days without a
brain presented a challenge today
to important and universally &C
cepted theories of physiological sci
ence.
The child, a boy, defied all Or
thodox concepts of the functions of
the brain by eating, crying, NOV
ing and reacting to pain and other
stimuli. Science has held for CEN
turies that the brain directs such
actions.
Physicians of st. Vincent's hos
pital, where the boy was born July
Il and died Saturday, said there
was nothing in the cranial cavity
but fluid The hospital withheld
names of the parents.
A staff physician said the in
fant seemed normal when born, ex-
cept that its lungs were slightly col
lapsed, and it ate, moved and
cried normally to its sixth day of
life. On the seventh day it refused
food.
Its skin, starting on the face,
became BLUSH" the physician said.
"It apparently had no appetite, but
remarkably, it was sensitive to
pain. There was no indication at
the time of an abnormality and it
was impossible to tell, even then,
what was wrong"
The child weakened daily for
two weeks and in the last few days
of life its head enlarged notice
ably.
An autopsy performed a few
hours after its death revealed alb
sence of a brain.

He casually kept half a dozen
jobs going at a time with the ease

Still he had time to laugh and
play with his friends and keep alive
a thousand and one private charities
about which few, except those di-

Associate and friend of presidents

with the keeneSt minds of his day,

His good humor tipped with the
sharp barb OF satire when occas-

The only time he ever frowned
was when someone persisted in ad-

No one could hope for a more sin

A President, harassed by the

He reserved his keenest shafts of
devastating wit for the stuffed

loved him.
Many valued his lampooning and
the story is recalled of senator
