LIFE
at A Glance
BY DAVID T

Sometime ago, seventeen years
to be exact, a doctor in France
began experimenting on rats and
guinea pigs, growing hair. Yes,
sir, the old scientist was quite
successful, growing blankets of
hair on the rodents and guinea
pigs. Naturally, feeling his in
vention was matured enough to
try it on some heads that have
been bereft of their moss, he adj
vertised for a victim. Strangely
enough only n man appeared,
and when he was asked about the
hazard he might be taking, he re-
piled casually. well, I haven't
anything to lose".
Did you know that some of the
most prominent male faces you
see in the movies wear false hair
to shade their faces? One scient-
ist recently stirred Hollywood by
saying bald headed men are more
manly, have more vigor. and are
usually hairy chested. If you are
bald it would seem that you are
classed in that group of real he
men,.
After all, youth means a tenn
permental predominence of cour-
age over timidity of the appetite
for adventure over love of ease.
Youth is not time of life. 1t is a
state of mind, and a youthful
state of mind often exists in men
of fifty of more, says a well in
the know psychaitrist. Come to
think about the thing, nobody
grows old by merely living a
certain number of years. People
grow old onll by deserving their
ideals. Years wrinkle the skin.
but self distrust, fear and despair
ali. But they are the things that
make you think everytime you
have a little pain. you are getting
too old to live. Good Prof. Reck-
on you are right. You are old
when you think you are old.

Bilb0 Investigation
Recalls POmzi Empire

WASHINGTON, (CNS)-Testi-
mony brought out during the in
vestigation of Senator Bilbo's war
time conduct reveals that in a
smaller and more confused way,
the senator has built himself a
financial empire that brings back
memories of Ponzi, the financial
wizard Of another era who finally
crashed-landed in Jail.
A Mississippi banker testified
before the committee, told of a
mysterious special bank account
carried by Edward Terry who was
secretary to the senator, and who
was sought far and wide by this
committee only to turn up in a
hospital back home. Terry will be
placed on the stand to reveal why
he held the account. and to whom
The Omaha guide., 1946-12-28

it belonged. The former secretary
will also be asked about his per-
sonal account which is believed
some of Bilbo's cash.
So confused have the commit
tee found Bilbo's financial deal
ings, it is almost impossible to
determine whether money that
flowed into his accounts were
personal gifts, political gifts or
loans. Top confusion in the Bilbo
dealings is the matter of the Jun
iper Grove Baptist Church, COM
plete with a five bathroom par
sonage. The church has been on
Bilbo's plantation in Poplarville
Mississippi, for years and the new
building is completed. The parson
age, however, lacks plumbing and
water facilities.

Great Negro Pitcher
Dies i'm Chicago

Chicago, CNS)-Water Ball,
who stood out at the beginning
of the century, as one of the
great pitchers in baseball died
here early last week. Ball pitched
for the Leland Giants, famed Sc
gregation, that preceded the A
merican Giants in the American
Negro Baseball League. Notable
among the many great perform
ances turned in by Ball was his
pitching duel with Three Finger
ed" Brown. Ball was on the knole
for the Giants in a classic game
against the Chicago Cubs in 1909.
1t was a tight session, and both
outfits were or their toes. Ball
pitched his heart out in one Of
the sharpest exhibitions of his
career, but he lost the duel, 4 to
2, to Brown.
The Omaha guide., 1946-12-28

It has been brought out that
every war contractor who had
even a slight acquaintance with
the Senator made a substantial
contribution to the church, yet
the parsonage is far from compile
ted. A few days before the pre-
sent hearings opened, Bilbo turn
ed the deed to the church and
property over to the deacons for
a S $1,000 consideration, but be-
cause the senator also had a deed
in escrow which turns the title
ever only in the event of his
death, the deed is invalid.
Adding to the confusion and my
stery was testimony that showed
a $4,000 fund ear-marked to de-
feat Bilbo was, at least for a
while, in the custody of Terry the
senator's private secretary.

Even if the United Nations pos

There is a great deal of hypo-

So while we may be thankful

Minor Mystery About
Sugar Rays Weight

New York City (CNS)-You
probably know already that Sugar
Ray Robinson lambasted Tommy
Bell of Youngstown, Ohio, all over
the ring at Madison Square Gar
den the Friday night before Christ
mas and that he is now the undis-
puted King of the welterweights.
Just in case you don't know it,
Bell might have won, and that is
really an upset for which most
Of us were unprepared. The point
of this item, however, is an cpl
sode that occurred at the State
Athletic Commission offices a few
days before the battle.
Both Robinson and Bell were
in the Commission offices for a
physical examination and follow.
ing the check up, Bells manager
suggested that the boys be weigh
ed in officially at the same time.
George Gainford, Robinson's man
ager, objected strongly to the
suggestion saying Robinson will
weigh officially Friday as requ-
ired". While, there is no ruling
that makes it necessary for a
fighter to weigh in days before
the fight, Gainford's objection did
create a slight air of mystery.
