Early inquirers of the Stafford camouflaging method were executives of Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd. Biggest recent job is the great Short Bros. aircraft works, 30 miles east of London, where Imperial Airways flying boats are built. London's $25,000,000 drainage plant will soon look like a village of criss-crossed highways, farm buildings, fields and forests. Easiest to camouflage, says Mr. Stafford, is a flat-roofed building in wooded countryside, over which a continuation of the woods may be painted; hardest is a tall building by a river, especially one with a big smokestack. Impossible to make...
...must include among the scholars, the research experts, the technicians on our faculties, men who can bring past and present into meaningful relationship, restore to past works of art their lost context and meaning, relate art to the common run of experience, override the compartments we have built for convenience, recognize the present as a legitimale subject for investigation, and cultivate in themselves and their students an intellectually alert relation to the kinds of experience which not only the past has bequeathed us, but which also the present makes possible...

Whether the crew regained enough of this during the holidays is yet to be seen in the first race, against Rutgers and M.I. T. on Saturday the twenty-second...
...persons of Cary Grant, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and Victor McLaglen; the same vicious tribesmen, now worshippers of the goddess of blood; the same melodramatic story--these form the skeleton of "Gunga Din," Hollywood's latest version of "The Lives of A Bengal Lancer." Yet about this skeleton has been built the flesh of humor, and into the whole has been breathed the breath of life by fast-paced direction and some excellent acting by the principals. Novelty; too, enters, for there is an interesting portrayal by Sam Jaffe of Kipling's celebrated water-boy; and Mr. Kipling himself even pops...
