The only member of the family who suffered was the house cat, who was bitten, and whom Mr. and Mrs. Armour afterwards put to death. Hearing a call for help from the front yard, Armour dropped a hoe with which he was working in his back yard garden and ran to where he saw the dog running about in his yard, snapping at Mrs. Armour her nine-year-old daubhter, Vivian, The dog rushed at him, but he sidestepped, picking up several bricks as he did so.

Meanwhile Mrs. Armour nfter see- Ing the fate of tho family cat, had hurried to take their own dog into the house out of danger. If he had had his hoc with htm, Armour might have had an easier time defending himself. However, lie decided to do his best with the bricks ho had In hand. Throwing ono of the missiles at the dog.

he missed. The second hit tho animal in of the head, knocking him down. Armour, thinking he had killed the dog-, secured a piece of rope and be gun tying It to the animal's IPK. in tending to drag him away. No sooner had ho tied the knot, linwuver, than the dog came to lite and usnlii began circling about, the yard, snap ping on each side, and rushing his assailant.

Armour ran Into the house and back out again bringing with him a shot gun with which he shot at the dog. The load used was too light to do any immediate damage, but Ar mour believed that, combined with the damage ho must have done when he hit the dog's head with the brick, may have caused the animal's death late on. The dog disappeared down the Mil ton road toward William Wlckon hausor's farm, and has not been seen since that time. Armour believes tha it crawled Into the weeds along the roadside and died.

Holly wood'Is overcrowded, and many a beautiful girl goes or goes hungry because there are so many like her, there usually Is room In the movies for those who are willing to start at th bottom and work up. It is true thai thft central casting bureau through which Btudloa Wre their extra talent discourages any further registration of beautiful girl applicants, but that Is because they are trying to break in at the top.

Infants six months old seldom find the registration book closed against them. The reason is simple. No matter how many slx-months-old babies are registered today, they cannot portray slx-months-old baby roles for more than a few months. The supply of infant actors must be constantly renewed or the studios will find themselves desperately short of babies who look really new. Since authorities frown on the use of infants under six months.

It is important to have enough of those on hand to pinch-hit tor new-born bahes and Infanta, which should not look more than several weeks Old. Among the five-year-olds, the competition is far keener, but even here the opportunities are numerous com- peared.wlth those open to young men and women. Children's features change so rapidly that casting directors must be. constantly on the lookout. Even Juveniles whose names have acquired box-office value cannot hold back the clock.

years ago Virginia Lee Corbin, Loretta Young, Lu? cttle Rlckson, Buddy Messenger Madge Evans were featured child -play- crs. Today the child faces film tans remember belong to Mary Ann Jackson, Phlllipc de Lacey, Allan Hosklns (Farina), Junior Coughlan, Dorothy Brock, Joyce Coad, Jackie Coogan. Mickey McBan, Yvonne Pelletler, Maurice Murphy and others. In a few more years the present group of popular youngsters will-have been replaced by newcomers In their respective age groups. Just who the newcomers will be Is anybody's guess, but it Is safe to say they will include a few who began at the bottom as babies.
