FUMED To FAME
Miss Hntton's talent for violence
in showmanship was discovered BY
accident and has rescued her from
oblivion several times since. One
evening in Detroit. when she had
lust turned Is. she sat in a night
club and fumed under the double
indignity Of having failed To crash
the Broadway stage and Of having
been told sternly by her mother
that she must return To school
So when the master of eere-
monies called on her for a song.
she went into The Dipsy Doodle"
with feeling Of almost hysterical
Illustration. She not only sang loud
and good. but she began cutting
the microphone. slamming around
the props and making threatening
gestures at the band leader. This
unorthodox behavior won her a
reprieve from formal education. a
job as an entertainer. and = week
later a S65-a-week contract to sing
with Vincent Lopez band.
The Lopez engagement lasted
two and a half years, being ter
minated by Miss Hutton under cir
cumstances so strained that the or
chestra leader sued her for $50, 900
for breach of contract. With jobs
in vaudeville and a 7-months' run
in Two for the Show" on Broad
way. the ebullient Betty managed
fairly well. But the lawsuit still
irked her. and one day she charged
into q lawyers office with denun-
Citations. demands. desk-poundings
and descriptions of what she
wanted done to Plaintiff Lopez.
The attorney watched her. fas-
cinated. and reached for the tele-
phone. To his friend, Buddy De-
Sylvia, he said, II think I've got
you a girl for the part Of Florrie
in Panama Hattie. Anyway, she's
certainly dynamic enough"
Miss Hutton was just what the
producer and the customers want
ed-especially in the number where
she hurled men around while sing
ing "All Gotta Get Now Is Ny
Man,
NOT GOOD PART
The show was still prospering
when DeSylva, having come to
Hollywood and moved up TO the
post of production boss at Para
mount, wired the bounding Betty
that he had terrific part for her
in The Fleets In" And in a
week or 50. with Mary Martin. she
begins a new picture titled Hap
py-Go-Lucky"
Her early development and pres

of playing strenuous games with
boys when she was kid. And
the reason played with boys. ="
she said, was because I was so
darned ugly. / had a big scar on
the cheek from getting pushed off
a dock. And for two years my left
eye was swelled up from getting
hit with a golf club. And my face
was loaded with freckles."
To these handicaps. add poverty.
Her Mother worked in an automo-
bile factory. but there were sea-
sonal layoffs when things were
pretty bad. Beginning when she
was II. and wearing a short or
candle dress. Betty would be taken
on rounds Of the 81 beer joints to

beers as Black Bottom" and @Di-

able to place faint marks on paper
but such pencils were not satisfac-
tory.
Good pencils did not come until
graphite took the place of lead.
This mineral makes a good black
mark when pressed against paper.
Graphite pencils date back about 400
years. They are known as lead
pencils" in memory of the time
when real lead was used.
At an early date store of graph
it's was discovered in the northwest
ern part of England. This was some
of the best ever found. Pieces of it
were cut into strips and were used
in pencils without being treated in
any way. That graphite became
famous, but the mines were worked
out 80 years ago.
The usual way of making pencils
today is to put the graphite through
a process. It is ground into a pow
der, and the powder is mixed with
water and clay. The result is a dark
mixture described as dough-"
The more clay in the dough the
harder the pencil.
Machines press the dough through
small holes, making long strings Of
graphite or "block lead" The strings
are cut to proper length and heated.
Wooden parts of pencils are gen.
orally made from pine OF cedar.
Grooves are cut into slabs Of the
wood, and the slabs are glued to-
gether after graphite is placed in the
grooves. On most wooden pencils it
is possible to find cracks which show
where the halves were glued to-
gether. To do so, however, you may
need to scrape away some paint.

ofnces where men and women work
there is widespread use OF the pencil.
When we think of all that it is
hard to see how people got along in
the old days. Two thousand years
ago there were no pencils Of the
handy kind we have today. A per-
son could make marks with a
charred stick, but there were trou-
bles about carrying such sticks
around. 1t appears that few per-
sons in ancient times made gray
marks with lead, but that was not
usual.
More common was the stylus, a
small rod with a sharp end. It was
used to make marks on wax-covered
boards.
In later centuries some persons
made pencils with the metal known
as lead. With this metal they were

Russian troops overcame German
resistance and advanced tn several

A generally optimistic picture of
the combat had been presented

Red Star reported, however, that
the invaders had made another
crossing Of the Don east of Rostov
and pushed south against strong
Russian resistance.
The Germans reached the western
