u. S. Girls Don't
Sympa+hize With
Eno|ish Women
By RUTH MILLETT

Great Britain is alarmed over the
rise in illegitimacy in that country
since Allied soldiers have been sta
toned there. There was a SO per
cent increase in such births in
England and Wales in 1943, compar-
ed with figures for 1888.
The question is what are America
and Canada, as we'll as England, 60
ing to do about the protection and
support of these children after the
war is over and their fathers go
back home?
If American women were asked
to decide on policy for America
to follow in regard to children born
cut of wedlock to English girls and
American fathers, it probably would
be Let England look after them"
Because American women-stirred
up by such stories as that of quad
ruplets born to an English girl and
the husband of an American-resent
having American homes broken up
by girls in other countries.
THEIR LOOKOUT
IF they are going to make a
play for our men, then let them
take their chances. And if they find
themselves with illegitimate babies
that is their lookout" is likely to
be the most typical reaction of FEM
inine America.
That may not be minded or
big hearted or even neighborly. But
it's human The wives and sweet
hearts of American service men, who
are sitting at home waiting for
their return, couldn't be expected
to have much sympathy for the Eng
lish girls who have affairs with
American servicemen and find
themselves with illegitimate children
to look after and support.
So it is probably a good thing
that the question of what to do
about the illegitimate children of
English girls and American service
men isn't left up to American wom-
en- to decide.
They wouldn't make an impartial
jury.

Don't Force Baby
To Walk Early

If you want your baby's legs to
be straight when she grows up, don't
fence her in while she's in the
crawling stage.
Limited to the narrow confines
OF a play pen, she'll pull up to see
what's going on beyond it. But
given free scope to roam and salts
fy her adventurous soul, she'll stay
on all-fours until little legs are
sturdy enough to carry her around
in fine, upright fashion.
And don't try to force her to walk
just because her contemporary next
door, who is able to get around on
two hesitant feet, makes her seem
like slow-poke.
Allowed to crawl until she takes
to her feet of her own sweet will,
she'll master the art of walking
and on legs that will be plenty stur-
dy to sustain her weight without
bowling out.

What is not known about Watson
to many current residents of WASH

OF non-Winners, Joan Crawford and

Joan's Mildred Pierce" is fatten-
ing box offices and bringing the vet
eran star better notices than any
received since "Our Dancing Daugh-
ters," and that's a long time back.
Bergman's "The Bells of St.
Mary's" won't be released until the
Christmas holidays but a few pre-
critical peeps reveal job by the
Swedish actress that will be rated
superior to anything she has ever
delivered.
One scene alone will be worth the
price of admission. 1t is where
Bergman as st. Mary's Sister Supe-
rlor dons boxing gloves and attempts
to tutor one of her pupils in the
manly art of elf-defense. The kid
let's loose with one that rocks the
nun back on her heels.
Two takes on this will be put up
to preview audiences for their deci-
sion. One is where Miss Bergman is
knocked fiat, the other where she
only staggers. Director Leo Nc
Carey will show the former to
Catholic audiences to see if they
think it bad taste.
He's hoping for a knockdown ver-
dict because that shot is a laugh
