IS FAT S0' IS
 EXCELLENT SHOW
Poi Players Star in Prize
 Ring Comedy
(By Herald Reviewer)

A better comedy which embodies the latest slang and typical New York east side dialect is hard to imagine than "Is Eat So," this weeks offering by the Poi Players in Hartford.
 While all of the cast do excep- tionally well in this fast-moving comedy. the principal honors go to Vincent Coleman and Harry Fischer cast as manager and lightweight boxer respectively. They have many rich dialogues and both do some re- markedly fine pantomime acting. The play opens with Coleman, as Hap Hurley, manager of Chick" Cowan, boxer, riding" his protege hard for losing bout Then en- ters C. Clinton Blackburn, played by Robert Perry, with an elegant jag. The trio become acquainted and manager and fighter agree to take positions in Blackburn's house in or der to train Blackburn so that he may be able to whip his beastly brother-in- law.
 From this point on the play moves at a fast pace. Comedy is real, situations are not overdrawn to the extent that they bore, and until the end the piece is one continuous scream of laughter. Other favorites, well cast. include Edmund Abbey, Frances Williams. Adrienne Earle. Walter Scott Weeks, Patsy Ann O'Neal. John Burns and MT. and Mrs. Jay Ray. Little Master Jackie Campbell, boy of probably 6 or z years, also makes quite . hit.
 This play can well be recom- mended as one that will provide the maximum laughs and with its con- trast of east side and Fifth avenue talk and manners it also gives q cross section of Gotham life.
 Next week, the concluding one Of the season. the players offer She Couldn't Say No"

NEW BID IS MADE l 0N MUSCLE SHOALS
Described as Better Than That
 of Henry Ford

Washington. Jan. 74 R1Endors- ed aa better" than the Henry Ford offer. . new bid by the American Cyanamid Company of New York, for the governments Muscle Shoals properties in Alabama, was submit ted to congress today by Represen- tative Madden. republican, Illinois.
 He said he had drafted . bill to carry out the proposal and would press for early consideration after it's reference to the house military committee.
 The offer Of the Cyanamid Com pany. as set forth in the bill, is a better proposal than Henry Ford's" he said. The original Cyanamid offer provides for the production of fertilizer containing 10000 tons of fixed nitrogen, the same as Fords offer. but under my bill the Cyana- mid Company agrees to produce fer tilizers annually containing not less than 4S,o00 tons of fixed nitrogen, an increase of 20 per cent over the Ford offer; and this increase is equal to more than half of the fiXer nitrogen contained In Chilean ni- trates we imported in 1914.
 "The Cyanamid Company pro- poses to furnish all of it's patented processes for producing fertilizers, free of any royalty charges. Ford's offer did not propose to do so."

Curiosity About Life After Death Proves Too Strong for 20 Year Old Medical Student at Uni versity of Wisconsin.

Madison. Wis. Jan. 24 (UP)- The veil never yet known to have been barted by man had been drawn today over the reckless attempt of w. Cassels Noe. Wisconsin Univer- sity student, to find out what lies beyond the grave and to keep a ghostly tryst with a friend who died three weeks ago.
 Noe, who was 20, sent a bullet into his brain yesterday and left a note promising fraternity brother to communicate with him after death.
 His effort to explore the mystery Of death was another of the recent suicides of young intellectuals in various parts of the country who have become disgusted with life.
 It was linked by friends of Noe with the suicide on Jan. 1 of Joseph w. Moore, University of Illinois stu dent. who was said he was 'too tired to live" Noes friends said they thought Noe and Moore had dined together the day before Moore killed himself, and that Moore told Noe his spirit would return if he died
 It was thought possible that Noe and Moore had an implied compact under which they would endeavor to meet as spirits and discuss the secrets they had learned.
 On the back of paper taken frcm a psychology notebook. Noe penned a note, evidently just before he died, to one of his Delta Kappa Ep- silon fraternity friends.
 'I'H communicate with you from the beyond and tell you what death is like and what it brings" the let ter said
 Noe, devotee of psychology, had been a constant reader of gloomy theories. That authorities believed today, had led him to form queer theories on the hereafter. He be- lieved that there was no God in Heaven; but that the spirit returned to wander aimlessly about the earth when the coropreal life was ended, his friends said today.
 "A man who believes 1t is useless to live should kill himself and is a coward if he does not" Noe told his friends constantly. He argued with his parents that his life was his own to do with as he pleased.
 Noe was one of the most popular students on the campus. He wrote for the literary magazine and was socially prominent.
