'Rock 'n' Roll' Records Decline From
National Mania To Only Small Group
New York U.R) "Well, it
was fun while it lasted, but
rhythm and blues or call it
"rock 'n' roll" has gone from
a national mania down to a
cult.
The popularity polls in Tin
Pan Alley trade papers told the
story this week. Up at the top
the . s" titles were in plain
English and as wholesome a
collection as you'll ever find
"Dance With Me, Henry," . . .
"Cherry Pink and Apple Blos
som White" . . . "Davy Crock
ett"'. Not Hiding Relief
You had to look way down
toward the bottom of the page
to findr the kind of titles that
dominated the list a few weeks
ago "Bo Diddley," "Chop
Chop Boom," "Flip Flop and
Fly" and "Bop Ting-A-Ling."
Oldtimers in the music busi
ness are not hiding their relief,
although popular record sales
are in a slump. "Nothing in the
way of a fad has come along to
take the place of rhythm and
blues," said one publisher.
. Though they no longer dom
inate the best-seller lists, R&B
tunes still have a following
among energetic teen-agers and
others who haven't found any
thing better to dance to.
Their record-buying is ex
pected to keep many R&B mu
sicians from going hungry in
months to come. Most record
companies plan to continue to
bring out new R&B titles as long
as the cult remains faithful.
Millions Sold
TheV'rock 'n' roll" craze in
volving blues music with heavy
beat and words that didn't nec
essarily make sense sold mil
lions of records and put some
struggling independent compan
ies into the black. But it also
. gave the industry a black eye,
temporarily at least.
Criticism of suggestive lyrics
or "leerics" hit the R&B
songsmiths three months ago. As
a result, the whole of Tin Pain
Alley promised to be more mind
ful of double meanings, and doz
ens of disc jockeys took public
pledges to keep certain records
off the air.
Death of Youngster
Being Investigated
South San Francisco, Calif.
(U.R) Doctors performed addl
tional tests today on the vital
organs of a 4-year-old girl who

The girl, Susan Ruth Little-
field, fell to the ground uncon
scious moments after her father,
Robert, gave her permission to
play with the other children yes-
j terday.
Artificial respiration and oxy
gen were administered for 15
minutes, but the family physi
cian pronounced the child dead
Her parents said Susan, who
attended Sunday school an hour
before her death, had been in
perfect health.
SPORT PLANES COLLIDE
Pavia, Italy (U.R) The "Tour
of Lombardy" rally was damp

Famous Trichologist Tells
Truth About Saving
And Improving Hair
This new method of horn
treament of saving and grow
ing thicker hair will be dem
onstrated in Medford. Oregon,
Wadnesday only. June 1.
These crivate individual
demonstrations will be held at
the Jackson Hotel on Wednes
day only, June 1, 2 P.M. til
9 P.M.
OKLAHOMA CITY May 28
In an interview here today D.
Russell Collins, internationally
famous trichologist and director
of the Collins Hair and Scalp
Experts. Inc., said. "There are 18
different scalp disorders that
cause most men and women to
lose hair. Using common sense,
a person must realize no one
tonic or so-called cure-all could
correct all the disorders," he ex
plained. GUARANTEED
"The Collins firm, recognizing
that most people are skeptical of
claims that hair can be grown on
balding heads, offers a guaran
tee." Collins said.
Once a person avails them
selves to the Collins treatment
his skepticism immediately dis
appears. To insure this, we offer
this guarantee. '"If-you are not
completely satisfied with your
hair progress in the very first
30 days your money will be re
turned." HOPELESS CASES
DISCOURAGED
First the Collins specialists are
quick to tell hopeless cases that
they cannot be helped. But the
"hopeless" cases are few. Only
if a man is completely, shiny
bald is he in this lost category.
If there is fuzz, no matter how
light, thin, or colorless, the Col
lins firm can perform wonders.
Everyone is given a complete,
private examination to deter
mine the condition of his scalp,
and cause for his hair trouble.
FREE EXAMINATIONS
This examination is very thor
ough and highly technical, it re
quires 20 to 30 minutes. There is
no charge for this examination
and no appointment is necessary.
After the examination he is told
the required length of treatment
and how much it will cost.
After starting treatment, he
makes regular reports to the Col
lins firm in Oklahoma City, and
a trichologist will retrun to
check his progress periodically.
To spread the opportunity of
normal, healthy hair to the
thousands who are desperately
looking for help, the Collins
frim is spending specialists to
various cities throughout the
United States to conduct exami
nations and start home treat
ment. , .
' NO CUREALL
"We have no cure-all for si;ck,
shiny baldness," Collins empha
sizes. "If there is fuzz, the root
is still capable of creating hair
and we can perform what seems
to me a miracle.
There is one thing Collins
wants to be certain every man
and woman knows. If a recession
appears at the temples or a spot
begins to show up on the crown
of the head, there is something
wrong and it should be given
immediate attention.
HAIR FOR LIFETIME
"If clients follow our direc
tions during treatment, and aft
er they finish the course, there
is no reason why they will not
have hair all the rest of then
lives," Collins said. "Our firm is
definitely behind this treatment,
it all depends on the individual
client's faithful observation of
a few simple rules."
HOWS YOUR HAIR?
If it worries you call Tri
chologist S. M. Carey, at the
Jackson Hotel in Medford,
Oregon on Wednesday only,
June 1, 2 P.M. til 9 P.M. The
public is invited. You do not
need an appointment. The ex
aminations are private and
you will not be embarrassed
or obligated in any way.

On The Side
By E. V. DURLING
(Distributed by King Feature
Syndicate. Inc.)
The idea of the frankfurter
and roll, including the popular
shape of the roll, originated in
Germany. It was introduced to
this country in Brooklyn by
Charles Feltman in 1871 at his
Conev Island restaurant. How
ever Harrv Stevens did more to
nonularize the frankfurter and
roll than Feltman. He intro
duced it at sports events. It was
the brilliant cartoonist, Tad Dor-
gan, who nicknamed the com
bination "The Hot Dog."
Luck
"Lucky" Baldwin, picturesque
California character, died worth
$36,000,00. Until the end Bald
win objected to his nickname.
He maintained there was no
such thing as luck. That a man
success depended on how he
handled situations. I don't agree
with that. Luck frequently en
ters into a man getting an oppor
tunity to show how he can
handle a situation.
Passing By
Andrea Leeds Howard, erst
while cinema luminary. She
once held the record for being
kissed the most times in one
dav during the production of
film. That was when she was
kissed 437 times in one day by
four leading men. This record
was broken when Piper Laurie
was kissed 524 times in one
day by leading man Scotty
Becket.
Get It Right
Note "The Perils of Pauline
referred to as "the first film
serial." That's wrong. Fir si
was "The Adventures of Kath
lvn." starring Kathlyn Wil
liams, produced in 1913. Second
was "Dolly of the Dailies" star
ring Mary Fuller. Third "Lucile
Love" featuring Francis Ford
and Grace Cunard. Fourth was
"The Perils of Pauline" featur
ing Pearl White, Paul Panzer
and Crane Wilbur. Fifth was
"The Million Dollar Mystery'
with Florence LaBadies, Mar
guerite Snow and James Cruze
Turned Down
That truly great actor, John
Barrymore, was married four
times. Every time to a very beau
tiful woman. However, the very
first women he proposed to said
"No." That woman was Evelyn
Nesbit, who shortly after mar
ried Harry K. Thaw.
Sidelierhis
As to the most interesting
women in the Bible, a feminine
subscriber names: 1 The Virgin
Mary, 3 Eve, 3 Mary Magda
lene, 4 Naomi, 5 Salome,
6 Delilah, 7 Bathsheba, 8
Sarah ... At one time during
her operatic career Mary Garden
weighed 169. She took on
pounds by working out on a
rowing machine, drinking lemon
water and substituting for her
usually large dinner a meal con
sisting of the tails of six craw
fish.
Foraolien Men
Near the top of the list oi
'Forgotten Men" are the first
husbands of celebrities. For ex
ample, who was the first hus
hand of Joan Bennett? How
about the first spouse of Joan's
sister. Constance? Who was the
first man to marry Gloria Swan
How about "Gineer" Rog
ers? What was the name of the
first man who hopefully accom
panied Greer Garson to the al
tar?
Brief lr
...
Are vou familiar with Cho
pin's "Polonaise in A flat"? Of
the recording maae of this by
Tturhi? Over a million and a
half coDies have been sold . . .
How d you start your letters
to your wife? Don t answer me.
It is none of my business. But
George Washington started his
letters to his wife: "My dearest
. . . Of all the racing colors I
have seen, the Whitney colors,
"light blue, brown cap," are my
favorites.
Keeping Young
People past 40 who want to
look young and feel likewise
should stay in bed one full day
in each month. That's what the
experts on the subject maintain
It is also advised that seekers
of an extended period of youth
should wear young looking
clothes, sleep in the raw, get
nine hours of slumber nightly
and fast one day in each month.
Asides
To the list of picturesque
street names must be added:
Johnny Cake Road, Baltimore,
Md. My favorite street name,
however, is still Sawmill River1
Road ... It was John" Gay who
Daily's U-Drive
Medford 'Airport
said, "I must have women. There
is nothing unbends the mind like
them." John made that observa
tion over 200 years before Rodg
ers and Hammerstein wrote the
song titled "There's Nothing
Like a Dame."
Passes
Am asked what was on the
card of biblicar quotations P.
T. Barnum gave to people re
questing passes to his circus. The
card reads as follows: "In those
days there were no passes given.
Search the scriptures: 'Thou
shalt not pass.' Numbers 20-18.
'Suffer not a man to pass. Judges
3-28. '....one shall pass. Mark
New York Harbor boasts 24,
000 annual arrivals and depar
tures of ocean-going vessels dis
charging and picking up cargo
and passengers, more than any
other port in the world. Each
month 1,000 ships sail away.
13-30. 'Beware that thou pass
not.' Second Kings 6-9. 'Neither
any son of man shall pass.' Jere
miah 5-43. "Though they road yet
they cannot pass.' Jeremiah 5-22.
'So he paid the fair thereof and
went.' Jonah 1-3."
