Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
have always been proud of
my looks. Lately I have
noticed that I am getting
wrinkles. AS I am only in
my early 40s, I believe in
taking steps to prevent my
face from looking like my
grandmother's. I have been
hearing of this new chemical
treatment to remove wrin-
kles. Shall I take a chance?
Mrs. R.
THAT'S JUST what you
will be doing - taking a
chance. This treatment, of
applying chemicals and acids,
is a delicate procedure even
in the hands of trained der
matologists. If 1t we're per-
fected I'd say go ahead. But
it is only in its experimental
stages.
Yet, I have been receiving
letters like yours, from
women who have been prom
ised magical facial trans
formation by many medically
unframed persons who are
hopping on the bandwagon
in the use Of these wrinkle
removers. Don't fall for their
promises. All they want is
your money; they are not
responsible scientifically, and
all you may be getting out
of 1t is severe facial scars
that leave you much worse
off, and not even as good
looking as your grandmother.
/ am not being cynical or
hard about it. Mrs. r. MY
purpose is to shock you into
sensibility.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
grandchild is going on 6 and
she is pigeon-toed. her right
foot is worse than her left.
When she was younger a doc
tor said she would grow out
Of it. We haven't been to one
since. because she is other
wise a very healthy child.
To me it seems to be getting
worse, but I don't want to be
a meddling mother-in-law.
But I hate to- see her grow
I'D pigeon-toed. Is there any
thing that can be done?-
Mrs. M.
IN ADDITION to those
many other good attributes
(although standard jokes
don't seem to agree)
mothers-in-law often serve a
very useful purpose in stick
ing a pin into a complacent
parent who isn't doing every
thing for the child. At the
risk of offending, I would
not hesitate to tell the par
ents that the little girl de-
serves the attention Of an
orthopedist (bone Specialist)
He, too, may say that nature
will take care Of it. At least
you will be having a more re-
cent opinion. But if he can
help with special supports
and exercises, you will at
least feel that you are not
standing idly by.

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

CONSIDERABLE: Playwright
George Bernard Shaw found
his own plays irresistible.
Once, at the premiere Of
one of his comedies, his seat
in the orchestra remained va
cant throughout the perform
ance. Later. when the show
was over, the producer met
Shaw in the lobby.
Where were you?" he
asked. your seat was empty"
II was watching from the
balcony" explained Shaw.
"These lines are so funny, I
didn't dare sit up front. I was
afraid my laughter would up
set the cast"
DANGER: Humorist Robert
Benchley heartily disliked
the outdoors. Fresh air, as
with raw whisky, he went
to great pains to avoid.
One cloudlesS day in Holly
wood, a friend called on him
summing himself under a lamp.
why are you sitting under
that?" demanded the friend.
He pointed to the SUM-
drenched lawn outside the
window. why don't you sit
out there?"
And get hit by a meteor?"
said Benchley, recoiling.

Poor Limpy,
AMummoth,
Had Arthritis

RAWLINS, Wyo. (AP). -
Scientific detectives have
solved the case Of the Limp
ing Mammoth.
What stumped them at
first was not who killed Big
Limpy but. how did the kill
ers catch him?
Evidence was scarce. After
all. the killing took place H.
500 years ago.
The site was amid the sage
brush IS miles southwest of
Rawlins. A drag line oper-
ator was cleaning out a
spring for use by an oil drill
ing crew when his scoop un-
earthed a large bone.
That was a signal for
archeologists, anthropologists
and geologists to move in.
The initial University Of
Wyoming team was quickly
Joined by an 1l-man field
crew from Harvard.
The bones proved to be
those Of a young mammoth.
DR.. Brainerd Mears of the
University of Wyoming soon
found what appeared to have
been the lethal weapon. 1t
was a f1uted spear point
buried about 10 feet from the
animals skull.
From a scientists point Of
view. this in itself was an
important find. 1t associated
the animal with early man.
DR.. Mears says there are not
more than six sites in North
America where the remains
of mammothS and spear
points have been found to-
gether.
Big Limpy was young but
in some way lncapacitated.
He hobbled along as best he
could but he could not keep
up with the herd. When he
stopped for a drink at the
spring he was an easy mark
for hunters.
Big Limpy's bones were
sent to the University Of
Wyoming for cleaning. chem
ical preservative treatment
and eventual assembly. There
scientists discovered the clue
to the mammoth's trouble:
he was a victim Of arthritis.
Eve have found arthritic
bumps on some Of the bones
"a bit unusual since this is
a young mammoth" explains
DR.. George Agogino. Univer-
sity Of Wyoming anthropol-
ogy professor. Apparently
he went lame because OF his
arthritic condition"

The boy is IA months old and

speed, but If I departed
from Cape Canaveral the day
I was born. I would be 50O,-
900 years old when I arrived
at the nearest star.
And that's only one way.
After I arrived-you can bet
I'd be pretty tired Of all that
weightlessness and nothing
ness - I would be at q hot
sun, not a planet. If I wanted
to land in a habitable place
you know, one with a grassy
picnic grounds and ants in
the peanut butter - I would
have to fly on for another 2
million years.
The word for all this is
absurd. Nobody in his right
mind has 2 million years to
fritter away looking at space.
Speaking Of space, I'd settle
for some closet room around
the house. I'm not hard to
please. Small minds have
small goals.

friends. Just return your
tickets to the travel bureau,
or your local psychiatrist, and
get your money back. I had
thought. when everyone else
was buying tickets for the
first flight to the moon, or
Jupiter, or maybe Mars, that
I would find a nice quiet star
which no one else could spell.
So I picked Proxima Cen
tauri. 1t is just around the
corner. specially speaking
only 1876 light years away. A
good place if you like to
rough it on a week end. A
place where you could carry
a knapsack, q couple Of cans
Of beans, a package of bacon
and one bottle Of bourbon
and live like a king.
OF course. the space ships
aren't ready. Some Of our
missiles are missing. Every
body counts down, but so
few get up. Still, the Model

so that soon we will have
citizens traipsing around the

no less an authority than
DR.. Sebastian Won Hoerner-
who else?-that man may fly
around his own little solar
system. but he will never get
out Of the terrestrial back
yard. Never. That includes
Proxima Centauri, because
Prox just so happens to be
out Of this world.
Maybe Won Hoerner is. too.
but that's another quantum
question. DR.. SebaSt, as I
like to think of him, is holed
up in Heidelberg, Germany,
where he dreams UP reasons
why we can't do this and
that. Recently, he wrote an
article for Science, in which
ne pointed out that man may
soon snap off his pad to visit
the neig h oring planets
around our sun, but that we
will remain prisoners in our
own little world and never
get out of it.
Well. You should have seen
what that did to the morning
cornflakes. DR.. Sebast also
feels that some of us are
megalomaniacs. Science
knows that there are millions
OF suns, and that these suns
radiate warmth on billions
OF planets. Therefore, the
good doctor assumes that
there must be other sophisti-
Gated civilizations and, If
we are trying to get into
orbit now. others may have
tried it from far-away worlds
long ago.
ut would be megaloma-
nia," says DR.. Sebast, ito
think that we are the one
intelligent civilization in the
universe. On the contrary,
we should assume from our
present knowledge that life
and intelligence will have
developed, with about the
same speed as on earth,
wherever the proper sur
roundings and the needed
time have been provided"
Why, then, have they not
flown to us? Because it is
impossible. Won Hoerner SAYS
that If you can imagine our
earth as a single grain OF
sand, then the sun is a
cherry pit three feet away
The nearest star, my very
own Proxima Centauri, would
be 140 miles distant.
A light year is, roughly, 6

glumly.
This wasn't the sort Of a
game for the American Leagu-
ers to talk about. Not after
they checked the box score of
q 81 defeat and noticed where
they had been held to a paltry
four hits.
They couldn't put the rap on
the National Leagues fancy
pitching during the game. so
afterwards they switched to the
switch-hftting Wills and his
fancy strategy.

chance that Wills took" said
Luis Aparicio, who is regarded

One Wonderful Swing

STAN MUSIAL, APPEARING In his
I'D All-Star Game, took look at a couple
of strikes when he pinch-batted for Juan
Marichal opening the sixth inning Of a
Scoreless game. And then, with that won
derful swing, he blistered a single off
Carilo PaSeual and that tore it for the
American Legaue.
MuSial whose Introductory ovation was
greater than Casey StengePs, promptly was
retired for the day in favor of the National
Leagues No. 2 hero in that 81 victory
yesterday at D. C. Stadium. Musial is
everyhodys guy; Wills Is at least our own.
Maury, the kid who wasn't picked up
by the Senators during a tryout school
some years ago, is almost impossible to
throw out He proved it by stealing second
base on Earl Battey, no less, perhaps the
best throwing catcher In the American
League.
A moment later Dick Groat Of the
Pirates singled and Wills slid home safely
with flourish and it was 10. Before the
sixth inning was over, the National League
had added second run, which was all it
needed, but it was Musial, age II, who
opened the gate.

pretty spectacular after he got into the
