Central FreS5 Writer on Beauty
SOME TIME ago, friend of
mine told me that cold cream baths
were excellent for softening and
smoothing the skin. The skin of
my body is very dry and rough,
and 1 would like to take these
baths. However, l do not know
exactly what the correct proceed
ure is. Could you enlighten me on
this point? CATHERINE"
The cold cream baths that you
refer to are the same as regular
oil baths, with the exception that
cold cream is substituted for the
pure olive oil or sweet almond oil.
The cold cream baths should be
taken Immediately before sretiring
at night. After you have emerged
from your usual warm, cleansing
bath, smooth a generous amount
of cold cream over your entire
body, and massage it well into the
skin.
Then wipe off any excess, don
your nightie, and hop into bed.
The next morning, take a luke
warm shower or plunge, and fol-
low it with cool rinse. Finish Off
with a vigorous rundown WITH a
rough Turkish towel. This proceed
ure will make the skin of your body
soft, smooth and velvety.
MY hair is my problem. Fool
ishly enough, l bleached it. and the
present shade of it does not be-
come me at all. Is there anything
that | can do to remove the bleach
and to restore my hair to its nat
ural color? GRETA.
To my knowledge, there is no
sort of a preparation that will re-
move a bleach from the hair. A
bleach, you see, does not color the
hair. but. rather. extracts color
from it. If you wish your hair to
resume its natural color. you will

Giantism
Exception
ToAverage
Exceptional Growth
of Pituitary Gland
Is Cause
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

by LOGAN CLENDENiNG, M. -.
OUR AVERAGE humanity va
ries within quite narrow limits. In
herd we look very much alike as
to size, height, weight and color
alton. Any striking exception. such
as a dwarf or giant, creates i'm
mediate notice on the streets, un-
fortunately for the poor people who
happen to be afflicted.
There is an interesting book pub
lished about so years ago by Gould
and Pyle, called Anomalies and
Curiosities of Medicine, which re-
cords all the exceptions to the gen.
eral human rule. 1t is little out
of date, and I understand my
friend, DR.. Morris Fishbein, is COM
piling a more modern record. The
measurements today will probably
be more accurate than they were
In the days of Gould and Pyle.
Another friend of mine, DR..
Charles Humberd, of Barnard, Mo-,
has been making some studies on
anomalies. I have before me his
record of the young schoolboy
giant at Alton, Ill. This boy is now
1872 years old and is eight feet
three and one-fourth inches tall DR..
Humberd says that his height ex-
ceeds that of every other docu-
70. 4 Md in
literature. However, O'Brien, the
Irish giant whose skeleton is in the
Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, was eight feet four inches in
height, and John Middleton, born
in 1852 in Lancashire, whose por-
trait is in Brasenose college, Ok
ford, measured nine feet three
inches. Perhaps DR.. Humberd does
not consider these accurate, but
it is hard to question SO simple
thing as the measurement of
height.
The Alton giant weighed eight
and one-half pounds at his birth,
and began to grow rapidly from in
fancy. He was five feet four
inches tall at five years, and as tall
as his father when he was eight
and one-half years old. He never
had any growing pains.
Life Complicated
Life is very complicated for him,
He naturally has to have clothes
and shoes made especially. He has
to have a special bed and armchair,
but they seem too small for him.
He cannot appear on the street or
go to the movies without exciting
more attention than the actors.
The expense of being a giant, on
account of these special clothes and
furniture, lis considerable. 1t is
said that the boy at Alton makes
his pocket money by posing for
photographs. He is very resentful
of his fate, for which nobody can
blame him. He says, ut isn't my
fault that I am this way" and Il
didn't have anything to do with
my getting to be like this
The cause of his exceptional
growth is undoubtedly an increase
in the function of the pituitary
gland. If such increase occurs be-
fore adolescence, it results in giant
ism. If it occurs after normal
growth has been completed, 1t re-
suits in condition known as aero
megaly, in which the bones of the
hands, feet, jaw and face become
enlarged The appearance of this
young mans face, compared with
earlier photographs, would indicate
that an acromegalizing process is
beginning He is. however, still
growing, and there seems to be no
indication that he will stop.

Today's Sport
 Parade
By HENRY McLEMo ORE tunIted Peuus staR Correspondent.

During the time 1t takes the Buckeye team to play Its eight or nine games the world, insofar as Columbus Is concerned, is encom- passed in the chalk boundary lines of Q gridiron, and such matters as war and relief are secondary to forward passes, off tackle slants end runs and charley horses.
 The town is very ga-ga today, what with Texas Christians beau- tifully named and powerful horned frogs here to open the season. This Is without doubt the top game of the day, bringing together as 1t does two of the nations strongest teams. I would not be surprised to see the game develop Into quite Q head-knocking every-inan. .for-him self melee, because I heard rumors on my recent trip to Texas that there was no love lost between the rival coaches = Dutch Schmidt of Ohio State, and Dutch Meyers of the Texans.
 Before coming to Columbus, Schmidt coached ct T. c. U. and Meyers was one of his assistants. don't know how much truth there is In 1t, but I was told that when Schmidt arrived in tho midwest he put the old blaSteroo on southwest football, saying 1t was good enough, he guessed, but the quality of coaching was 6 bit on tho ordinary side. Brothers Meyers, Q Houston critic told me, burned c bit when he heard this, and said that some day he would like to have c whack at one of Schmidts mid-weStern clubs.
 We'll, he gets 1t today, and the re. Sultant action should be merry bit of business. The horned frogs certainly are big enough to take care of themselves. The line aver. ages well over 200 pounds, and the backs are nearly as bulky. There Is Q belief down In Texas that the frogs are too big, and will be harassed to death by any fast quick striking team. Ohio State has that sort of ball club. Still. l like those teams that have Q mission--ard the frogs have one, l believe--so, in my first football pick of the year, I name T. 0. U.

Girl TrOtting Driver Breaks World Records

Lexington, Ky, Sept. 25-(UP)- Veteran drivers today found the record breaking performance of an ll-year-old girl driver hard to be- lieve.
 The child, blonde, blue-eyed Alma Sheppard, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Lawrence B, Sheppard who owns the Hanover Shoe Farms at Hon. over, Pa, smashed nearly every trotting record yesterday when she drove Dean Hanover--the horse her father sold at auction for $40 and rebought last summer for $20,000-- to new mile mark of one minute, 58ls seconds at the inaugural nf LeXington's Grand Circuit meeting.
 The 90-pound, flve-foot tall Alma first broke the world record for three-year-old trotters, drove the fastest mile ever accomplished by a woman driver, and established a new all time mark for amateur drivers of either sex and all classes,
 Best previous time for the three year old bay colt was 2:00-l-4, but with Alma at the relns, he shaved the record of l:60-i-4 for three year olds held by Protector and March ioness by Z of a second.
 Previous fastest mile by a trotter driven by woman was the i:5o-A set by Mrs Wallis Nichols with Margaret Castleton here last year. Fastest mile ever made by e pacer with a lady handling the reins was the l:5o-l-4 made by Mrs. Y. Ro- land Hartman at Goshen, N. r., with Highland Scott.
 Little Alma's great l:5e- X mile puts her way out In front of all feminine competition at either gait.
