are too immature to be running loose in Washington.
 Sending them home would solve the problem so far as Wash ington is concerned-but it won't solve the problem of the girls safety. For if the girls can't take care of themselves in Washington there is no reason to suppose they won't get in trouble some where else, even, perhaps, in thelr own home towns.
 Girls aren't safe anywhere these days if they are trusting enough to let themselves be picked up by service men, if they run around alone at night, if they run around alone at night, or if they let themselves be talked into go- ing to parties in hotel rooms, oi drive out to some roadside joint with a crowd they know nothing about.
 PRACTICAL SOLUTION
 It seems the most practical thing that Washington could do at this point to safeguard the young girls in government service is to see that a personnel worker has a private talk with each young girl employe, telling her in no un- certain terms what kind of be- havior is dangerous.
 It wouldn't do any good to talk to the girls in a group-for they would most likely respond with the superior attitude freshman college girls take when the dean

STRAND

The difference between top-notch long hair and jazz musicians is the same as that between a good cook and great chef"
 Benny Goodman was holding forth with little impromptu lecture on music between takes" for his new picture, Sweet and Low-down," the 2oth Century Fox musical now play ing at the Strand theater.
 "A fine cook" he went on, "fol- lows recipe. He can make anything in the book, but good. A chef, how ever, is an improviSer, an originator He dreams up the dishes, then the cooks prepare them"
 Lynn Bari, Jack Oaki and Linda Darnell, who are starred with Bnny in the film, urged him to continue.
 Its like this," BG explained. Good music is like good food, it satisfies a hunger. If you follow a score exactly as it's written you get good music, even great music, but it's still something someone else dreamed up."
 Packed with joy, tive and sweet romance, Sweet and Low-Down" tells the story of tn boys in mil- lion dollar band, and of the gals who swing to the beat of their rhythm and their hearts.
 The companion feature is "Dan- gerous Journey, thrilling pictorial expedition into darkest Africa.

 But the average girl would pay more attention if the interview was a private matter. and if she were confronted with specific facts instead of vague generali- ties, and if the matter were ham, dled as a matter of her personal safety, rather than as a question of morals.
 The personnel workers doing such interviewing shouldn't be chosen because they are motherly looking-but if they are to i'm press young girls they should be young. good looking women themselves.

NEA Hollywood Correspondent
 Hollywood, Dec. 26-Hollywood' s show of shows in year marked by stupendous box office receipts and spectacular, gigantic, colossal pro- auctions, was a simple honey story that cost little to produce and sur- prised everyone by crossing nearly $12,000000.
 Yes, your first guess is right. The picture was Going My Way in which Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald scored superb hit. Paramount expected 1t to be just another Bing Crosby picture. It cost only $987 900, which is con- fetti in Bagdad on the Pacific.
 The year was scrappy one for the movie capital, with stars fighting each other and their bosses. But the battles which warmed Hollywood S heart took place at the box offices, where record crowds fought for seats. Receipts were the greatest in 50 years of the galloping tintypes, an estimated billion dollars.
 The years No. super-dooper, Since You Went Away" cost s. 000, 600, but will be far down on the list of the 10 biggest money makers Others in the top ten include "A Guy Named Joe," Two Girls and Sailor," Wilson, "Pin Up Girl', This Is the Army" MT. Skif- fington," Destination Tokyo" |" Gas light" and "The White Cliffs of Dover"
 But with everybody going to the movies without the lure of free dishes and automobiles, even had pictures made money in 1944. There were no sensational Hops and even duds like the highly touted Hitler Gang" and the Cray Grant picture, Once Upon TiIne," showed small profits.
 Gary Grant didn't have to worry, though. He was Hollywooo's 1944 money making king, along with Headman Louis B. Mayer of MGM and Bing Crosby.
 Working on salry nd percent age deal, Grant collected nearly a million dollars. His percentage of films released over two-year period was $180, 900 in one month of 1914 alone. But when you have to pay a tax of $927. .000 on a million dollars net, you ain't millionaire, CROSBY COLLECTS

SCAAAOA
 precocious, studying as little as nec- essary = careless of the great gift of health that was hers. She got up at 8 o'clock, just in time to catch the latest possible bus for school. Breakfast was 8 coke and melba toast between classes, swallowed in three minutes by her wrist watch.
 When she began having head aches and complaining of her eyes, the school nurse persuaded her to see the family doctor, who recom- merded more rest and better diet, and sent her to have her eyes test ed for glasses.

 If you're going to enter a school of nursing next year." he advised, you'll have to start taking care of yourself. You wont last through the probation period if you don't"
 Grace's mother couldn't under stand why she had failed in teach ing her daughter the value of health She had belonged to study groups, had even started home nursing class since. but she had allowed her children to manage her instead of the other way around. Grace's nutri- ton troubles had started in her high chair when her mother let her push away her strained spinach and tip over her milk because she wanted chocolate candy.
 Mrs. Williams was model house. keeper in the opinion of her friends. Grace's room was redecorated every spring, and the Williams parties were gala occasions, but it took the doctor and the Cadet Nurse to show Grace that health was a resource that was worth great deal to her in gaining her objective in life.

dozen actresses shared box office and salary honors. Tops financial ly and with the fans were Greer Carson, Ingrid Bergman, Irene Dunne, Ginger Rogers, Caudette Colbert, Bette Davis and Betty Grable. All averaged around $250,- 900, which was small compared to CIaudette's $450O0O take in 1942 But Claudette, poor thing. had to struggle along on only $100,000 this year, working in only one picture.
 Oddly enough. Americas high est paid entertainer of 1944. Frank Sinatra, earned only $100,000 as a film actor. But with records, radio and personal appearances. this brought his weekly take to around $3O,OOO (catch me, I'm Swooning) which ain't bobby socks.

BEAUTIES HINTS
 Use Two COlOrS For Perfect Lips
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

A charm depoiler often over- looked is a pale border around mouth which separates lip tissue and face flesh, and which some women never seem to be able to keep covered.
 A slick trick of plotting out this pallid rim is the using of a dark lipstick shade for outline and bright color shocker inside, discov7 cred by Peggy Badey, glamorous model top-notcher, who passes it on.
 Says Peggy: Use brush to draw dark rouge for lip outline and also to transfer the brighter filler-in to your mouth. If you don't want to invest in a lot of lip- sticks pairs, see that the two shades harmonize and go with everything in your wardrobe
 Her choice, she says, is a dark Parisienne- inspired shade for the initial trimming; shade as bright as red pencil for the makeup effect.

Fulton Sees
Deep Drilling
Era in Sight

BILLINGS.-W. NJ. Fulton of
Shelby, a figure in Montana oil
circles since 1912 and who brought
in the Pondera oil field in 1927,
predicted in an interview here that
more oil will be found in the state
through deep drilling than has been
located by the relatively shallow
wells put down the past.
up to the present we have pro-
duced all the shallow oil we could
sell, but the demand for domestic
and war purposes is creating a
shortage, and will require deeper
drilling" he said
Fulton said encouragement for
the hope of production in deeper
sands in countless structures"
throughout Montana is supported
by production in the Ten Sleep
sands in the Elk basin field, on the
Montana-W Wyoming border, and in
the Gage dome field near Roundup.
There is every reason to antici-
pate that a lot of structures drilled
to shallow depths and abandoned
during the past 30 years now will
be drilled to deeper sands and that
fair percentage will prove pro-
ductive," he declared.
