Unless Homer was much less of
an exaggerator than we suspect
he was, Polyphemus would lose a
load of conceit could he see Charles
Rigoulet, the professional French
weight-lifter in the modern day—
or Rudolph Ismayer, the chubby
German university lad, lift their
400 and 248 pound bar-bells re

Barbara Stanwyck’s latest pic

her through four ages of woman

of them. She is seen as a girl, a

woman. Adolphe Menjou and Ralph

lovers through her life. Barbara

by six 1500 candle-power lamps and
surrounded by 10,400 spectators
and a wall of fresh air provided
by eight large exhaust fans and
two intake fans. Preparations have
been made to cover the floor of

boxing and wrestling events, with
a 3-inch extra layer of hardwood to

G. Adams, director of the library
here.
“We have known what the Brit
ish officers thought of Washington
and his followers, but many of
them were prejudiced,” Dr. Adams
said in telling of the acquisition.
“The Hessian generals, however,
had no sentimental reasons for
disliking Americans and their let
ters Avere full of admiration for
Washington and his soldiers.”
400 Letters
Among the discovered manu
scripts are more than 400 letters
from Baron Wilhelm von Knyphau-
sen, commander of the Hessian
troops, and 60 other officers, ad
dressed to Baron Friedrich von
Jungken, minister of war of Hesse
Cassel.
Early letters, written shortly af
ter the arrival of the mercenary
troops in this country, express the
hope that “the rebels soon will be
conquered.” Later, however, the
letters assert that the war will last
a long time. Finally there is ex
pressed the frank belief that peace
will come only with American in
dependence.
Military Information
According to Dr. Adams, the doc
uments contain military informa
tion which will be of inestimable
value in adding to the history of
the Revolution. Descriptions of
Americans and the life of the coun
try at the time, he says, may be
of even more importance.
According to one young German
officer stationed in New York, “the
feminine sex here is exceedingly
beautiful and of refined education.
The women are dressed according
to the latest European fashions.”
Another officer told how the
British Commander-in-Chief Howe
wasted a whole winter in Phila
delphia with revelry.

Hall Wednesday night to two show
ings of the picture. Receipts from
this show will go to the purchase
of a refrigerated drinking fountain
for the campus. If everyone at
tends, it will be possible to have
the fountain installed before the
close of school. In true Fairbanks
style, Douglas and his three com
panions bring you thrills from
every corner of the globe. All of
the scenes were actually shot in
all the strange parts of the world.

The deadly sound waves are con
centrated in the large end of an
inverted funnel for killing pur
poses. Milk, containing thousands
of living bacteria, flows upward
through the concentrated sound
waves. When the milk comes out
the small end of the funnel most of
the bacteria are dead.
If found consistently practical,
the new device will probably in
time do away with the heat meth
od of killing bacteria in milk, since
the heat has a tendency to spoil
the flavor and food value of the
milk.

An Eye-Opener
“Weight-lifting, as it will be
demonstrated to the Olympic spec
tator,” says handsome Jere Kings
bury, assistant coach of the Amer
ican weight-lifting team, “will be
a revelation to the sporting fra
ternity.
“They will find that modern
weight-lifting, far from being the
sport of piano-movers and human
oxen, is a sport in which the fin
est type of speed, co-ordination,
and balance combined with strength
are demanded.”
Weight-lifters are classified into
5 groups—featherweight, light
weight, middleweight, lightheavy-
weight, and heavyweight; and they
compete only Avith men in the same
weight class. Each nation has two
men in each category, making a
ten-man team. Each of the husky
gentlemen get three turns at the
following lifts—two hands military
press, two hands snatch, and two
hands clean and jerk. His best ef
forts are added, and the total ob
tained is his score.
Prospects
Rudolph Ismayer, 162 pound
world’s middleweight champ, sim
ply dotes on the two hands snatch
in which he must, by dropping rap
idly under the weight, hurl his
world’s record 248 pounds of bar
bell in one movement to arm’s
length overhead. Rudy comes from
Germany where Hans Wolfram,
German all-round athlete tells us,
“we feel that the only thing which
can revive us is the athletic idea,
hence physical culture and the
playing of games has become a
necessity for us.”
The ordinary strong athlete
weighing 200 pounds or more, but
unaccustomed to lifting, would be
unable to lift a 248-pound weight
to the chest—let alone hurl it to
arm’s length overhead.
America, as a novice in the lift
ing events compared to some of
the nations Avhich have had weight
lifting entrants ever since the
Athens Olympiad of 1896, looks
to receiving the hardest competi
tion from Egypt. Pharoah’s de
scendants have lost none of their
lifting abilities inherited from the
pyramid-builders. They hold the
lightweight, lightheavyweight, and
heavyweight world records.

A Carbon-Copy Of Nature
In Sparta, according to hoary
lore, lifting -was confined to pock
ets when the young aspirants
could get away with it.
In Southern California, the Tenth
Olympiad of 1932 will find men of
all the world imitating on a minia
ture scale the forces of nature
which lifted the mountainous gran
deur of this region out of the
bowels of the earth.
This picture is given for the benefit of a refrigerated drinking
fountain at the Y. M. C. A. building. The Executive Com
mittee has kindly given permission for two shows—one at
6:45 and the second will follow immediately.
This is a first run picture and every student and faculty
member who attends will be getting the worth of his money
personally and at the same time making a contribution
toward a most helpful and worthwhile service to all the thou
sands who come the A. and M. way.
Wednesday, May 4th—Two shows beginning
at 6:45.
There will be two two-reel comedies, one Bing
Crosby in “Just One More Chance.” Laurel
and Hardy in “Any Old Port.” Each program
will be about one hour and fifty-five minutes.
