The movie also stars Dante, the magi cian, in a mixture of magic, comedy and gangsters. It’s ‘“A-HAUNT- ING WE WILL GO”, a praise worthy picture in the typical Laurel and Hardy manner. The story selected for this latest venture by the old masters of slapstick and pantomine is subject to praise for its attempt at orig inality and also subject to criti cism for the confusing elements the attempt introduces. To those who enjoy this comic pair’s brand of nonsense, the picture should prove very entertaining. , Dante, the Magician, whose rou tine of illusions is amusinb, seems to detract from the humurous theme of the script. Laural and Hard take jobs as Dante’s stooges in order to escape a gang of crooks with whom they have become in volved. The attempts of the two to escape the gangsters, added in with a mixture of magician’s props, bodies and caged lions complete the show. The Lowdown:— Hectic Hilarity in a Haunted House. The story of a pair of twins in old Corsica is told in “CORSICAN BROTHERS,” showing at Guion Hall Tuesday and Wednesday. Stars of the movie are Doug Fair banks, Jr., Ruth Warrick and Akim Tamiroff. Fairbanks plays a dual role as the two twins, sons of Countess Franchi. At the birth of the twins, the entire Franchi family is wiped out by their feuding enemies with the exception of the new-born twins. For safety’s sake, friends of the family separate the twins, bring one up in the Corsican for ests and the other in Paris. Twenty-one years later the twins meet in the firest and set out to avenge the deaths in their family caused by the Colonnas—their feuding neighbors. But these are not ordinary brothers. They are so bound together in their souls that each feels the emotions, pain and suffering of the other. Both brothers are in love with one girl, Ruth Warrick, as is their arch-enemy Akim Tamiroff, head of the Colonna family. One of the Corsicans comes through all the fighting and blood-shed and wins the hand of the fair lady. The Lowdown:—we dare you not to like it. Condensed Rations Enable Fliers To Prevent Starvation After Crash If Uncle Sam’s airmen are ever forced down in jungle or wilderness while in flight, they will be able to subsist on specially prepared rations until they can get to a populated settlement. The brand-new rations, called Parachute Rations” by the Wright Field Army Air Corps test and research center at Dayton, Ohio, were produced by the Quar termasters Subsistence Research Laboratory at Chicago. In describing the new rations in a General Electric Science Forum address given in co-operation with the U. S. Army Air Forces, Dr. Everett W. Thatcher of Schenecta dy, co-ordinator of civilian pilot training at Union College, said that a day’s food contains 3500 calories. The rations are wrapped up in sturdy, moisture-proof packages. According to Dr. Thatcher, the breakfast ration has four ounces of pemmican biscuit, two ounces of modified malted milk, one three- ounce can of veal loaf, two soluble coffee tablets, two cubes of sugar, and one slice of gum. The noon-day meal ration has eight more pieces of pemmican bis cuit, as well as a tube of bofuillon extract, a package of 15 dextrose tablets, a tin of ham spread, and a piece of chewing gum. The package of “D” ration for supper consist of chocolate, su crose, dry milk, lemon powder in a little cellophane bag, some more chewing gum, three cubes of sugar, and a tin of sausages. “Recently, a 14-man expedition made a hundred-mile hike across the hot desert sands of New Mexico just to test out this new ration,’’ Dr. Thatcher pointed out. “The expedition was composed of three officers who were attached to the Aero Medical Research Laboratory at Wright Field, seven enlisted men fro mthe Wright Field Medical detachment, and four college pro fessors. “They flew to Albuquerque, New Mexico, in an army air transport, and early the next morning be gan the hike across the desert. Most of the trip was made through the big Santa Fe National Forest, following the wanderings of parch ed, shallow Jemez Creek. “It was pretty warm, which was hard on the men, but fine for the purposes of the whole experiment. The highest temperature during the trip was 127 degrees Fahren heit. Official air recordings for the same day were 90 degrees in the shade. “The party went along steadily over rough country, at altitudes ranging from 5000 to 9000 feet above sea level. And the daily mile age was from 13 to 21 miles.” “The ration worked out very well, and the men thrived on it,” the speaker continued. “The 3500 calories a day which it provides are about one-half more than the average sedentary person needs. “Because of the hike there were weight losses, as much as three pounds a day during a day’s march, but these weight losses were blam ed on the excercise, the heat, and the lack of water. Certainly, it was no the fault of the food. “Each iman was weighed twice daily, before breakfast and at the end of the day’s trek. Blood tests were also made each morning be fore breakfast and at the end of the day. “Except for a few blisters and sunburn, the men wound up in much better physical shape than when they started off.” To begin with, most of the men were in just average shape, ac cording to Dr. Thatcher. Many of them were laboratory workers rather than men acustomed to hard physical exertion, he pointed out. “In flight, pilots and other air men would carry the feed in their ‘jungle kits’,” he said. “A jungle kit is a pack attached to the para chute pack, and it contains a wel fare of the men who fly Uncle Sam’s airplanes,” Dr. Thatcher continued. —INTRAMURALS— (Continued From Page 3) E. department, states that all freshmen who need P.

Spike White requests that all men interested in officiating in tramural football and basketball games are asked to meet in the Intramural Clubroom in the north east corner of the gym at 6 p. m. These men will hold NYA jobs and will be paid accordingly. Prof. Gregg M.
