Enlisted Men First
3 Grades Entitled
To transportation

Numerous inquiries directed to
the Post Red Cross Office of which
Mrs. Marion Wethers is executive
secretary, have disclosed that there
are many enlisted men of the first
three grades stationed at Fort Hua-
chuca who are not aware of full de-
tails of transportation furnished to
them by the War Department.
Army Regulation 55-120, Para
graph states that: &c. When any
officer, warrant officer, or enlisted
man above the fourth grade is or
dered to make permanent change
of station. the United States will
furnish transportation in kind from
funds appropriated for the trans
portation of the Army , for his
dependents.
Details of this authorized trans
portation which will be of especial
interest to enlisted men at this sta
tion are:
"If transportation is furnished as
prescribed above and such military
personnel is later transferred to
permanent station not within re-
stricted zone, dependents may be
furnished transportation at Govern
ment expense from the place to
which they were sent, to the new
permanent duty station. or from
any point to the new permanent
duty station upon payment of the
excess cost if any,"
For military reasons, for the du-
ration of the present war, this au-
thorized transportation is restricted
to only one such movement of de-
pendentS is authorized at Govern
ment expense on and after Septem-
ber l, 1912.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

A sergeant and a private were
court-martialed for kicking a colo
mel, just as the latter was stepping
into his car in front of hotel. The
sergeant, asked for an explanation,
said the colonel had stepped on his

control of his reflexes and had
kicked the colonel unintentionally.
That seemed logical to the Board
of Inquiry. They called on the pri-
vate for his explanation. He just

British Nurse, Bride Of Blinded
Yunk, Eager to Live in U.S..

Pvt. Huttenen lost his eyes and
one hand in a mine explosion in
North Africa.
The couple asked that their ages
not be disclosed. They look older
than their years, in the way people
do whom the war has really touched.
Mrs. Huttenen has three brothers
in the British. Army, one sister in the
Women's Land Army, another in an
iron foundry and a third In an
army boot shop. She was a nurse
almost from the time the war be-
gan.
Pvt. Huttenen has learned to read
Braille with his remaining fingers
and also operates a typewriter.
No, don't have any relatives
over there" Mrs. Huttenen said,
"but I've seen so many movies
about the country it won't be en-
tirely strange"
Pvt. Huttenen was first treated in
a United States Army general hos
pital and then was transferred to
st. Dunstan's. world-renowned for
its rehabilitation of the war
blinded.
The pair were married at st. Pc
ter's Church In Lowick, where the
bride has been a member since
childhood.
One Of her brothers was the best

man highly i'll at ease before g
camera and reads his lines as II
he might choke on the next word
None of this, however, disturbs the
Sinatra fans who laugh at his every
spoken word and shrek at his sing
ing ones. 1t is all quite incompre-
| henSible.

Higher and Higher" which has
numerous engaging people romp-
ing about it's wacky premises, is de-
signed to give its vocal star chance
to wrap his melancholy baritone
around several sultry ballads deal
ing with love. ''I Couldn't Sleep
A Wink" he croons to Michele
Morgan, who takes it much more
philosophically than the members
of the audience. "a Lovely Way
to Spend an Evening"" he huns
more optimistically later in the pic
ture. Still later, he comes up with
the semitragic realization that "The
Music Stopped" and it virtually lifts
the roof off the Earle while leaving
Miss Morgan wonderfully COM
posed.
The story which provides the
foundation for Sinatra's singing is
the familiar, simple minded one
that is typical of movie musicals.
It's principal figures are an elderly
society dipsomaniac who has lost all
his money and who makes deal
with his servants to recoup his for
tune by feigning that his pretty
kitchen maid is his debutante
daughter who shall marry the ham
diest wealthy young man.
In their ways, they are a rather
engaging lot of people. Miss Nor
gan, glamourized from top to toe,
makes rather funny thing of the
maid pretending to be a debutante,
especially in a sequence in which
she makes speech at the annual
buffers ball. Jack Haley is another
who contributes bright bits to the
action in his role as the master mind
of the plot to wed the girl to wealth.
The dancing Hartmens, who dance
a minimum in Higher and Higher"
demonstrate that they can be funny
outside of their milieu, he as stuffy
butler, she as a dizzy first maid in
the menage. Others who add
brightness to the frame for Sinatra
are Leon Enrol as the bankrupt
roue, Marcy Mcclure, as a passion
ate disciple of the crooner, angular
Mary Wickes, as a hard boiled social
secretary, and the pianist t-comedian
Victor Borge,. who plays the part of
a suave confidence man.
Higher and Higher" has been
produced by RKO with a definite
eye to making it suitably rich

LONDON, Mar. 1S.-There's going
to be high tea, in the British fash
ion, in the steel-making city of
Warren, Ohio, when blind Pvt. Otto
Huttenen gets home soon with his
Red Cross bride.
You can tell them I'm British as
far as tea is concerned" Pvt. Hut
tenen said on the eve of his de-
parture for home, and he has his
|reasons.
One Of them is Mrs. Huttenen, a
British Red Gross nurse who said
yes" to his proposal after she had
nursed the blinded and manned SOL
dier for IA months in st. Dunstan's
Hospital Another reason is that
Pvt. Huttenen met his bride at a
hospital tea, and every day at 10
am. and 4 pm. there's going to be
tea at the home they'll make in
Warren, to remember that meeting.
Pvt. Huttenen, a onetime farm
worker, and his wife, the former
Ruth H. Curtis of Lowick, North
amptonshire, were somewhere in
Britain" awaiting transportation to
America.
I'm certainly eager about our
new life ahead" said Mrs. Huttenen.

Id always have that urge. So we
went to town! We took the biggest
most costly furnished house on the
rental list.
What joint! Twenty biz
rooms. The furnishings reekeo
with wealth. We had a formal
garden that only horticultural
expert could care for. There was a
terrific swimming pool, heated and

Not a dime. Every cent spent was

The years lease up, Eddie and
his wife took stock. They had
nothing in the bank and a flock of
bills to meet. They decided on a
drastic change in living conditions.
They found the little cottage on
the wrong side of the tracks and
rented it. Later they put down
payment on it. Now it's all paid
for.
The money we are now saving
would have burned a hole in our
pockets If we hadn't had that first

went on. Now we know what that

want to touch it again. Further

first arrived in movietown. He had
reached Hollywood by hitchhiking
all the way from New York, pam
handling at back doors when he
was hungry.
ut was cold October night
when I arrived in town." Eddie
recalls. Il tried to sleep under a
tree at the corner of Sunset and
Vermont boulevards. Next day, I
looked up Junior Durkin, whom I'd
known in New York. His family
took me in. I thought I'd need
only couple of days to land a film
contract. Huh! I stayed two and
a half months. I couldn't even get
inside studio. They wouldn't
have me. So when I got an offer
Of carfare back home, I certainly
accepted" Xxx
Once back in New York, Eddie
began getting stage offers, but his
first hit was long time in coming.
He says he was in 80 f1ops before
landing in TOO Many Girls"
which brought him to Hollywood
on a Pullman train-as a big shot
star.
Today. Eddie is being hailed as
one of the funniest fellows in pic
lures and recently scored his
greatest success in The Miracle of
Morgan's Creek" Currently, he is
being featured with Veronica Lake
and Sonny Tufts in Bring On the
Girls"
Il look at guys now who are
having their fling at the high life
and think how happy I am that
