There is also danger that they may bite and break 1t, An ordinary mouth thermometer may be used for tak- ing rectal temperature If 1t is care- fully handled. However, a special rectal thermometer with a heavier and safer bulb Is wise investment for the family with small children. This is the procedure to be follow ed:
 1. Shake the mercury down be- low the nun1eral 96.
 3. oil the bulb with plain pe- troleum jelly, or cold cream, using h bit of paper tissue to apply 1t.
 3. Place the child on his side, partially covered to protect him from exposure.
 {. Holding him firmly to pre- vent his moving about, insert the bulb into the rectum about one inch and hold 1t there for five minutes. Never let go of the thermometer for one instantl
 5. Remove. wipe thermometer with dry cotton, read ana record the temperature at once on a piece of paper.
 6. Lay the thermometer on a clean piece of clean toilet tisse and place the child in a safe, comfort able position.
 2. Clean the thermometer by washing 1t from the tip toward the bulb, using a piece of cotton moistened with water and soaped well. Repeat several times to be sure it is clean. Rinse with cold water and wipe with dry cotton be- fore placing 1t back in the case.

just about nothing he can't get a dog to do in front of Q film camera. But for the first time Henry was stumped. He couldn't find an Eng fish bull that looked like e nonde- script mutt.
 "so," said Henry, T went to a friend of mine, Q film writer named Eleanor Grimm, and bor- rowed her dog. The dog wasn't much to look at, but he was Mayor of Little Willows, grand champion of his breed. He has won SO many silver cups and ribbons that Miss Grimm had to build him a special trophy room.
 East didn't know whether he could pass of the grand champion as @ mutt at the studio, but he was desperate. So he took M. of L. w. to RKO and, crossing his fingers, announced: Here's your niutt--the darnedest looking bull I could find"
 Studio executives took one look and said he was just the kind. A little stock girl who happened to be present shuddered and said, He's awful. I wouldn't even want to pet him."
 A GOOD TROUPER
 So Mayor of Little Willows went to work.
 "The whole studio is raving about Nipper's performance in the picture" East said.
 Trainer East also offered some interesting information on what you might call a black market in dogs. Seems once a dog makes a hit in the movies people all over the country immediately start of- fering for sale sons" and "daugh- ters" of the famed one in Holly wood.
 Ever since Asta clicked" East said, i've heard he must have at least two thousand sons and daughters"
 Just the other day, East said, he heard about a woman who was selling Asta's sons and daughters. "It turned out" he said, that she was selling the pups of Asta's stand-in." -.a

time they are l7 or l8 many girls know that marriage is the only career they want, So they are glad to settle down in homes of their own.
 But the boy who Inarries when he is under 20 will come out of the war faced with the responsibility of supporting wife, and perhaps 8 child. Chances are he won't be trained for any job in which he can get ahead, and the necessity for going to work immediately will keep him from getting any train ing. He'll have to put his nose to the grindstone and keep 1t there the rest of his married life. ROBBED OF CAREER
 So the girl who rnarries a boy un- der 20 is really gypping him and herself in robbing him of his chance to get his job or career training be- fore he takes on the support of a family.
 The marriages in which there is @ boy husband are going to have to have harder going than the marriages in which there is a girl bride. Yet 1t Is the girls who get all of the concern,

His performance is the outstanding triumph of his career. Maureen OHara as Louisa Cody Is nothing short of superb. She plays the part with a fire and warmth that easily marks 1t as her greatest DOT. trayal.
 Linda Darnell in the role of Dawn Starlight, the beautiful Indian girl who loved Buffalo Bill above all else, gives a thrilling and unforget- table performance. Thomas Mitch ell as the newspaper man who made Buffalo Bill a national figure; Ed- gar Buchanan as Sergeant Chips: and Anthony Quinn as Yellow Hand, give outstanding performances as do Moroni Olsen, Frank Fenton. Matt Briggs, George Lessey and Frank Orth. Never before has the history of a great adventure and the conquest of a woman's love been told 50 ma jestically so colorfully and so excitingly. All of which means that Buffalo Bill" deserves top spot on your must see" motion pic- ture list.
 The co-hit on this big program is "Jamboree" with Ruth Terry and George Byron.

Beduties' Hints
 These Touches Give Last Years TOgS New Flavor
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Tricks to make last summers clothes win your favor all over again are good to know, if you are Q bit tickle but would like to keep these faithfuls in service Suggcs. tions come from the alteration ex. pert of one of New York's swankiest shops, who says 1t Is neglect of the little deails that keep good clothes out of the running
 Best trick, she says, to give an old dress a new lease on life is to re-hen1 it. Even it up, re-measure the length. and tack with care.
 Fit your dress to your this-year's figure, if your weight has changed. A good fitting job will give your dress new attractions that will charm you all over again
 Change the buttons. Sometimes it's Q good idea, even if last years crop is intact and in good condi- ton, because new buttons -particu- larly if you'll look around for ex. citing ones-will revive your in- terest.
 Freshen the neckline of the dress. That may mean only new bind- ing. But if that's not enough, splurge on some fancy neckwear.

= IN Hollywood
BY ERsKINE JOHNSON NEA Staff Correspondent

Tripping over a leash on a film set today we accidentally uncov- cred the dog -gonedest scandal in the history of Hollywood'S Super- elite dogdom.
 A grand champion was imper- sonating a mutt It shouldn't hap pen to a man.
 Said his trainer, Henry East, Even the studio executives don't know about it."
 The grand champion-a white English bull named Mayor of Lit tie Willows - blinked his eyes yawned and said nothing. After all, he was probably @ little mor- tifled to be portraying a mutt named Ripper, even If he was earning a nice salary opposite Cary Grant.
 Mayor of Little Willows prob- ably was wondering what the judges would think the next time he went to a dog show. Or what other dogs would be saying be- hind his back.
 It happened, trainer East said, like this:
 RKO needed an English bull to play Cary Grants dog in the film version of Richard Llewellyn's novel "None But the Lonely Heart" The studio wanted a non- descript mutt. So they telephoned East, who has been training dogs for the movie cameras for 20 years.
