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

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.
