Then came the fatal third
which Gus Zernial opened with
q single. Hank Majeski sacrificed
him to second and Dave Philley
singled Gus To third.
/ Then Suder walked to fill the
bases, but Teller struck out Tip

Pitcher Morris Martin was the
next man up and he sent long
high fly back near the right

hands on the ball but dropped il

P aiuled Skulls
Exhibited

WASHINGTON, ID. C-t4,---
An exhibit showing an unusual
treatment of the dead has been
installed in the U. 5. National
Museum here.
The exhibits include four abor-
iginal skulls from Australia COW
cred with complex, painted de-
signs.
The collection represents
phase of an expedition to Austria
liza sponsored by the Smithsonian
Institution, the National Geogra-
phic Society and the Australian
Government in l94S.
The painted skulls, says Frank
M. Settler, head curator OF an
thropology for the National Mu-
scum. are often carried about by
close relative of the deceased,
or suspended from a tree limb
near a camp.
The belief is that possession OF
the skull will attract the dead
persons spirit.

table. Standing dizzily on tiptoe, steadying
himself by clutching the curtain, he could
just touch the bowl.
Art, his pencil poised over the intrepid
Major Mallory, muttered and jotted: Battle

to spies hideout, old Spanish CASTLE
As Major Mallory, favoring broken ankle,
scaled the castle wall, Mallet-Head teetered
perilously on the edge of the dining table.
His hand went inside the sugar bowl, came
out with a cube He slid down from the chair,
almost plunged head foremost, saved himself
and made the descent to the floor just as the
Major, less fortunate, fell into dungeon full
of crocodiles.
A FEW minutes later Pauline came home,
her arms full of bundles. Have any trou-
ble?" she asked

She sighed. The newsreel had shown
two-year- old child down in Florida who could
chin himself on tree branch. Il just wish -
well, that he could do something she said.
Il love him, and wouldn't trade him for any
fifty other children, but wish he had some
sort of distinction. Billy Plimsoll gained four
more ounces last week"

in an Office downtown. but actually most of
his ideas came while he was baby-sitting on
week ends.
Presently inspiration buzzed, and he began
making notes: Spies get formula, Army new

beam Major M. pursues in PIT boat. :. "
Behind Art, Mallet-Head was building
tower with his blocks. His eye wandered to
the sugar bowl on the top shelf of the china
cabinet Dragging chair next to the cabi-
net, he mounted, and reached for the bowl.
1t was still beyond him. Squirming off the
chair, he tugged and pushed at the dining
table, and succeeded in getting it next to the

push her cart past the two doting mothers.
"Oh, excuse me-" said Pauline. Il didn't
realize we were blocking traffic" Her eye,
however, and Ruthie's too was caught by
the cart the blonde was pushing. 1t contained
very small girl in overalls, whose blue eyes
and pale skin made her miniature of her
mother.
Aren't you Mrs. Taylor?" the blonde
asked. I'm Mrs. Applegate, I live in Birch
Manor too" The voice had slight Southern
tinge.
How do you do" Pauline introduced
Ruthie.
How old is your little girl, Mrs Apple
gate?" Ruthie asked.
Mrs. Applegate turned her languid eyes on
the child. How old are you Honey Lamb?"
twenty-five months" =" said the little voice,
as clear as bell.
Stunned, Ruthie and Pauline moved aside
to let the Apologize ladies by.
Ruthie stared after them. Tiny little
thing for twenty-five months she whispered.
1T WAS not long after the meeting in the
supermarket that Pauline, Ruthie and Georgia
Applegate were spending most of their after
moons in each others company Sometimes
Pauline would put Mallet-Head in his stroller
and take him over to Ruthie's, where Georgia
would presently arrive. Sometimes they
would all go over to Georgia's; sometimes
they would meet at Pauline's. While the chill
dren played, the three mothers watched,
lynx-eyed.
Billy Plmsoll was solid. sturdy lad, fond
of breaking furniture. He can eat absolutely
anything and he's simply never SICK" his
mother liked to comment. A month after
Pauline and Ruthie met, Billy-Boy. as Ruthie
affectionately called him, had overtaken
Mallet-Head on the scales.
He weighed twenty-nine and three quar-
ters," Ruthie announced jubilantly. And
Dr. Snork's Superior Child weighs just
twenty-seven at twenty months"
who is DR.. Snorks Superior Child?"
Pauline asked.
Don't you know DR.. Snork's book, How
To Raise Better Than-Average Children?
Why, he's the most famous pediatrician there
is. He's the expert on superior children -
I'm surprised you don't know about him.
Well, mean I'm not exactly surprised -"
Pauline nodded gfumly. Il guess Billy is
fatter than Mallet-Head," she admitted
Soldier" Ruthie corrected swiftly.
There's not an ounce of fat on him. Just
feel him!'
Pauline gave Billy reluctant pinch, and
was rather gratified when he roared with pain.
At this moment Georgia Applegate arrived.

followed by Honey Lamb. Hi, girls" called
Georgia, her expression of languor echoed by
that of her little girl.
The two little boys were playing in the
sandbox. Honey Lamb regarded the two with
an expression of disapproval.
''Sing your song for the folks" Georgia
commanded.
Honey Lamb promptly turned to face the
adults and sang, in piping treble:
"A birdie with yelloW bill
Hoped upon the WiadOi0 siH
Cooked his shining eye and said:
'Aint y0v sh0ned, you sleebyheGdp"
Pauline and Ruthie listened with ill-dis-
guised impatience.
''She seems to be real musical" said
Georgia. ''I'm going to send her to dancin'
school soon. DR.. Snork says dancin' school
is good for superior children"
''Oh. do you read DIR. Snork, too?" Ruthie
asked
I'VE swear by him. Accordin' to Dr.
Snork. the superior child at Honey Lambs
age can compose three-word sentences. Last
week she made one with five words: Dolly
frowed up her breakfast.
At this point Mallet-Head, who had OBJ
served Honey Lambs performance with in
terest. suddenly scrambled out of the sandbox
and began to emit succession of bizarre
noises, reminiscent of a pig squealing or a
piece of badly oiled machinery.
What the matter with your little boy?"
Georgia asked, knitting her brow.
He's - er - singing" said Pauline help
lessly. Il think he's tone-deaf. like his
father"
What's he singing?"
ITS song they used to sing at Arts fra
ternity. It's called, Don't Spill the Gin,
Mother" /"
Mallet-H Head, his number apparently fin
ished. climbed back into the sandbox and
began to dig. Seized with an idea, he held out
a spoonful of sand to little Honey Lamb.
Here" he said.
''Oh no. dirty" said Honey Lamb.
Look, he wants her to eat that sand"
Georgia said. isn't that silly?"
Mallet-Head turned to Billy-Boy with the
spoon. Billy regarded it for few seconds
without expression.
Look, now he's offering it to Billy" said
Ruthie But Billy has too much sense ever
to eat - oh! Billy No, no! Spit that out

TINE Hollywood dish of the

luscious new RKO starlet (see
oover) who looks like calendar
art Indian girl and is actually
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Walsh, of Los Angeles.
Judy Walsh Cher real name is
Helen) was supposedly dis
covered by an RkO scout who
caught a glimpse of her on the
main street of Palm Springs,
where she was vacationing. and
persuaded her to return to Holly
wood forthwith. The story is
probably true: even one glimpse
of Judy is eye-hlling.
She is extremely we'll
stacked, as the saying goes.
Whether she can act or mot
is of secondary importance.
The studio scout apparently
didn't even ask. AS a matter OF
fact, Judy majored in drama at
Arizona State College.
Because of her high cheek
bones and deep-tan ooloring. it
was almost inevitable that in her
first real part in pictures - in a
film called The Half-Breed"
she should be cast as an Indian

Nero burned Rome in six days, but
it required twenty-four nights for
M-G-M to recreate Romes destruc-
ton for the spectacular Technicolor
picturization of Quo Vadis".
Twenty-four nights to film single
sequence! And the burning OF Rome
is only one of the many amazing
scenes which give Quo Vadis
scope and splendor unapProached in
the entire history of motion pictures.
The famous novel, Quo Vadis'',
tells of the romantic adventure OF
handsome warrior of ancient Rome
and a lovely Christian hostage and
is played against one of history's
most colorful and exciting eras-the
Rome of Nero with its triumphal
professions, It's bacchanalian ban
quets, It's amphitheaues.
To bring 1t to the screen-with
hundreds of sets to be designed and
built, $4,000 actors to be selected,
costumed and uained-demanded
preparation and organization as
complex as that of modern army.
Only studio such as M-G-M,
with les vast resources and Produc-
rion experience could hope to
accomplish it.
The filming of Quo Vadis'' was
completed last November in Rome,
where the entire picture was made.
Since then the huge task of editing
the $50, 600 feet of film has been in
progress. Later this year it will be
ready for the screens of the world
a picture such as those. screens have

maid. Her bosses, however, do
not want to limit her to such
infrequent roles - there is alto
gether too much there for type
casting so they have been
trying to persuade her to stay
out of the sun.
This has not been easy. be
cause she is distinctly the out
door type a robust and sassy
young lady who resents her sexy
appearance, of which she is well
aware.
Whistle 8ait
LIKE many a girl with obvious
allure, she is alternately fiattered
and annoyed by the kind of at
tention she gets. She cannot
resist a sidelong glance in the
direction of a whistle; and then
up goes the naughty resentful
shoulder. AS a matter of fact, the
come-hither look is probably due
to her near r-sightedness (note her
glasses).
The one thing she needn't
worry about is her career Lana
Turner sprang into film fame on
the basis of a provocative walk
across the screen. Judy needs to
do even less to capture attention.
Even without having seen her on
the screen, I'm ready to pre-
dict you'll be hearing plenty
about her. LOUIS BENG
