The Poor Man's Philosopher Tells How to Inherit Money By HAL BOYLE , NEW YORK UP) It Isn't true that everybody wants to make money. Everyone knows how to make money work hard, save half of what you earn and buy stocks whose profits multiply like rabbits. The fact that more people don't make money is proof that they are allergic to the first ingredient In the formula hard work. Others don't find the second in gredient palatable. They'd rather be shifty than thrifty. But one thing everyone likes to do is to inherit money. If you can't find money end every year there seems to be less and less of it left laying around loose the next best thing to do is to Inherit It. This is one of man kind's oldest daydreams. But no one seems ever to have devised a simple way of making these dreams come true. This is odd. We have a formula to ex plain the complicated workings of the universe, but no Einstein of finance has bothered to sit down and develop a foolproof formula for a simple thing like inheriting mono One popular way to Inherit money is to be kind and court eous to old widow ladies with a bank account that reads like the nationa' debt. . I tried this myself when I was 11 years old and delivered news papers. It seemed to me that practically every edition carried stories of dear old ladles expiring and leaving huge gobs of money to. little newsboys who had been polite to them. One of the customers on my paper route was a nice, white haired old woman who lived all alone in a big white house. Some how I got the romantic idea she was one of the dear old ladies I had read about, and would save me the trouble of working my way through school. I never hurled her paper from the sidewalk. I walked up to the porch and handed It to her and smiled and smiled, and asked about the chilblains she said were always bothering her. ' At that . . .

V-'.V age I thought her chilblains were relatives or maybe the name of some neighbors she didn't like. No boy was ever more polite to an old lady. I even petted her small spitz dog. a dirty-white, nasty-tempered beast that bit me in-the ankle at least once a week. But it all came to nothing. I was st nding there one day, smiling and smiling, and my dear old lady said snappishly: "Boy, don't you have anything more to do than Just stand there grinning like an ape? You make me nervous. Do deliver your pa Ders." So that dream ended. That Is the trouble with old la dies they're inconsistent. They are as likely to leave their money to a favorite eat, dog, or charit able Institution as a polite little boy. To inherit money you have to compete with all sorts of things human as well as non-human. Your biggest competitor is Har vard college. It has Inherited $159,336,499. Perhaps the best way to Inherit doug'.i is to marry a rich man and annoy him so much he'll pay you to divorce him. They call it ali mony but It's Just like inherit ing money.

Veterans Urged To Check Benefits State School Act With the fall school term ap proaching, World War II veter ans are advised by the state de partment of veterans' affairs to check into educational benefits of $35 a month ottered through this agency to those who resided In Oregon one year before entering service. "Frequently we run Into vet erans who are not aware that the state of Oregon offers this bene fit to its ex-servicemen who are attending academic or vocational schools," according to Edward T. Taggart, department educational officer. He pointed out that the act Is proving beneficial chiefly to stu dents completing high school, and those taking night classes as well as to those in the fields of pre medicine, theology, and work on a college graduate level, w ho are saving their federal CI benefits for advanced studies, inasmuch as the state and federal benefits cannot be used concurrently. The applicant must have had six months of active service be tween Sept. 16, 1940, and Dec. 31, 1946. Payments are based on the number of months In service, to a maximum of 36 months. To draw the full $35, the student must attend classes 40 hours a month. To date, 2138 Oregon veterans have received state aid, for peri ods ranging from one to 27 months, and have been paid ap proximately $329,000 since the fall of 1945. Greatest number receiv ing benefits In any one month was 689, while the average is about 400, Taggert said. Applications can be made through the schools, the veterans' county service officer, or the De partment of Veterans' Affairs, State Library Building, Salem, or 416 S. W. 11th Ave., Portland.

Pure Food Officials To Probe 'Master Cell' Claim BOSTON, Sept. 13 WrV-The New England Jivision of the Pure Food and Drug Administration studied evidence today to deter mine whether Farmer John Brown violated any law in dis tributing his so-called "Master Cells." The Mlddleboro farmer has claimed that the "cells" a col loidal solution encased In porous cement matrices will make crops grow faster and combat usually fatal diseases In poultry and animals. Cyril C. Sullivan area director, said he will refer the matter to the office of the U. S. attorney If there have been any violations. Brown, a retired pharmacist, declined comment on a report made yesterday by the Food and Drug Administration in Washing tun that preliminary tests Indi cated the "cells" had no healing value. Brown claimed by placing the matrices in wells or soil the heal ing qualities of the cell passed Into the metabolism of poultry, animals or plant life.
