HOLLYWOOD, Oct. ll-D EAR STAFF: The next time you go to a UCLA-versus-S o m eb dy football game (al.d I know you will despite the story about a personal emerg- ency that youIl tell mel, take a good look at the youngest guy on the UCLA bench. I mean Joe E.. Brown, No. rooter and official god- father to the University of Califor- mia at Los Angeles athletic teams.
 To me, there's always been heart-tug in the background of Joe Els passoniate devotion to sport devotion as boyish as that of any 15.year-od kid. You see, he came up in show business the hard way. When he was just a title tyke, he joined a tumbllng act In vaudeville, back in the time of the flve-a-day grind. His adolescent life was coEl- pletely dominated by the most gruelling kind of work. He practiced five or six hours a day and worked on the stage another seven or eight He had none of the pleasures that ordinarily go with youth.
 Then, at the end of long, long trail of toll, came success and wealth. And Joe B. Brown, released from the grind, set out to recapture his lost youth. Lots of men have tried to do that. Many of them have spent millions in the attempt, but Joe E. Brown is the only one I've ever known who succeeded.
 There's a room in his Beverly Hills home that's lined with show. cases. Joe, if you know him well enough, will take you in there and almost reverently show you the con- tents-the bat with which Babe Ruth hit a home run that broke up Q World Series game, the football that was used in some never-to-be. forgotten gridiron classic, the let. terman's sweater that UCLA gave him, and Q hundred other sports souvenirs. And when he's displaying his treasures, you'll see, if you look with sympathetic eyes, not the face of man in his fifties, but that of a boy in his teens.
 As said before take look at the youngest guy on the UCLA bench. He's quite fellow.
 JIMMIE FIDLER.
 
 DEAR BOSS: We can't argue with you if you voice praises for Joe B. Brown, but we have one observation. There are plenty of movie stars who collect bats in the effort to stay young, but he's undoubtedly the only one who specializes in the kind you hit baseballs with.

BEAUTIES HINTS
 It's High Time You Ignored These Old WiDes' Tales About Beauty
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff writer

Let's take a debunker's hammer to those beauty sliperstitions or 'old wives" tales which can hold Q girl back in her pursuit of good looks.
 When, for instance, you fall for this one-that hair. shouldn't be- washed oftener than once Q week you may find yourself away be- hind others in the race for beauty.
 Hair can be dunked daily, if you LIKE 1t that fresh and if it's THAT oily. Many q screen lovely appears before the camera with locks that are shampooed daily. Of course, you wouldn't if your scalp were dry, and ditto your hair. Tn that case you would shampoo less often and apply oils or poHnades to your scalp just as you do cream to your skin to coun- teract dryness.
 Beliefs Debunked
 old wives tale No. 2 that needs to be knocked down is the ancient one that warns you to pass up lanolin face cream if you don't want Co become as hairy as the bearded lady of the circus. If that were true, bald-headed gents, who long ago would have used lanolin cream to grow hair, would be as extinct as the dodo.
 So, stop allowing this silly be- lief to keep you from using one of the best friends e dry or aging complexion can claim-a lanolin. base cream which many chemists and doctors claim can penetrate the skin and is tops for soften- ing 1t.
 Whooping up the eye.lashes? Stop wasting your time putting stuff on to make them grow thicker or longer. Spend 1t step- ping up the Vitamln A content of your diet, if It's deficient. If It's not, master the technique of threading in few phony lashes to run handson1er awnings out over your lids.
 That tightly drawn top-knots will make you bald, or that per. manents or hair-dyes used on your hair will make it stop growing, are two more fallacies that need de- bunking. Screwlng hair Up into . bun won't scalp you, and perms, dyes or bleaches used on it won't halt or slow down its growth.

FAITH HEALERS
IGNORE WARNING
BY HENRY LESESNE

ST. CHARLES, VA, July 28-(P
A religious sect headed by a
mountaineer preacher prepared to-
day to 60 ahead tomorrow with a
national convention demonstra-
ton of snake handling despite
warning by Governor Colgate OAR
den that steps would be taken to
halt the rites.
IF they put some of us in Jail,
others will carry on with the cere-
monies' said the Rev. Bill Par
sons, a coal miner by trade.
Faith healers from Virginia, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Ohio
and Alabama have been invited to
attend the ceremonies, which Par
sons said would include the hand
ling of rattle and copperhead
snakes, fire baths and perhaps
taking doses of strychnine. -
Parsons was a little under the
weather-still feeling the effects of
bite from a copperhead during
demonstration last Sunday.
Commonwealth Attorney Robert
S. Ely said he would cooperate
fully in the execution of whatever
edicts which Attorney General A.
P. Staples issues to enforce the
governors mandate.
A decade ago a faith healer
by the name of Teester in the
mountains of North Carolina let
rattlesnake bite him to test his
faith. For week newspaper read
ers wondered whether faith heal
err by the name of Albert Teastai;
would live or die. He lived:
Since then such practices have
become more or less common In
many parts of the country-so COM
mon, in fact, that the sanke cult
lists are holding the national con-
vention" tomorrow at Stone Creek,
near St. Charles.
81 see no reason why practices
so dangerous to human life should
be permitted under the guise of
religious freedom" Gov. Darden
said.
Retorted Parsons:
eff Mr.. Darden tries to interfere
will send a wire to President
Truman in Berlin demanding we
be permitted to enjoy the rights
our sons are now and have been
dying for. -
The snake rituals resulted in two
deaths in southwest Virginia last
summer. Several others occurred
in previous years, in Virginia and
elsewhere.
Air tends to destroy vitamin c,
so it is better to cut vegetables
into big pieces rather than lot OF
smaller ones.
