STRAND

For those who like their drama replete with thrills, excitement and new ideas "Wings In The Dark" which heads the new program at Warmers Strand theater tomorrow, should be marked on their list as one they "must" see.
 A love story laid against tho timely and topical plot of 8 pilot who dares death in the perfection of "blind-flying," 1t stars beauti- full Myrna Loy and Cary Grant. az a pair of flying daredevils. And although it is impossible to gain say the excellence of Miss Loy's recent pictures, she seems to excel even the best of her past perform ances in her breezy, down-to-earth and sympathetic role in ,." ,."Wings in the Dark" #
 Cary Grants characterization Is equally gratifying. His very dif- ficult role is superbly handled, and he gives a powerful performance which should be remembered for 0 long time. Deprived of his usual good looking clothes, he is Q leather-Jacketed pilot almost throughout and proves that he can hold his own admirably as an actor.
 The story is q very ably con structed one of an inventor pilot who perfects instruments for blind flying. He is actually blinded be- fore he can hop off on the flight which will prove his instruments.
 This turn of affairs involves him and those around him in a series of exciting situations. But he works on his instruments so that, even while blind, he can fly with them.
 The last half of the picture builds to one of the most thrilling climaxes that has ever reached the apronn

 When the North Haven sailed from San Francisco on her coloni- zation mission, she carried 300 carloads-6000 tons-of supplies, ranging from spare collar buttons for the men to complete machine shops and knocked-down radio stations.
 The commissariat for the iso- lated Wilkie's and Eastern bases was of formidable proportions. More than 5000 pounds of frozen and smoked meals alone were put aboard the North Haven to be dropped at these bases.

CHANGING LANDSCAPE

There's a decided change in the outdoor scene, lust the last few days appeared the first green of buds finally getting their chance To open up and generally enhance landscape that was so brown and drab That nature lovers felt moved to crab. Now one may gaze on the greening hedge While in the woods cabbage-weeds allege That the season is well on it's way to flower, Encouraged now and then by passing shower.

colonization project begins. Unable to anchor close to the tiny island because of coral reefs, the ship will stand outside for IS days while the cargo is discharged and chanical crew pitches in to con- struct the base.
 When the North Haven sails, 25 construction men will remain to complete the project.
 One Isle Inhabited
 The Midway group achieves prominence only because 1t Is mid- way between America and Asia, the northernmost islct of the Ha- waiian group. Surrounded by an 18-mile coral reef, only one of the group is inhabited.
 Seventeen men maintain cable station in. the Pacific system to the Philippines. Eastern Island Is 1 IA miles long, 12 fe.t above sea level at it's highest point, and is covered by coarse grass and bushes. Stills for drinking water have had to be provided.
 Then heading for tiny target in tho Pacific, the North Haven sails for Wilkie's Island in the Wake group-120O miles west and south. This entire group Is ap- proximately mile square, rearing In splendid isolation in mid -oceap. 1t has never been inhabited.
 Forty-fye working days are scheduled for construction of the base and airways radio station on Wilkie's Island and at expiration of that time the North Haven will move on.
 A permanent crew of 13, con- sisting of an airport manager, three radio and weather experts, a chief mechanic and his two help CTS, and doctor, will man the base.

First stop of the North Haven was Honolulu. There five men disembarked to superintend crec- ton of base and radio station by local labor. The radio station was set up in three days.
 The airways crew included an airport manager, a radio and weather man, his assistant, and two mechanics. Equipment for the first base had already been shipped through regular marine channels.

 Between visits of the clippers oh their flights between California and the Orient, the airbase crews will occupy their time with multi pie. duties, with time off for rec reation.
 It is evident that Pan American expects its staff to go in for gar dening in a big way, as the list Of seeds to go ashore is a large one. There will also be card games. books, and supplies for indoor pas times as well as outside.
 And, of course, there will rs radios to make audible the long. wave programs of American as well as Asiatic stations.
 With completion of these bases, Pan American's program to coE- quer the Pacific is nearly realized. Several test flights remain to be undertaken and, finally, the start of regular-schedule flights to tho Orient.

 Because Columbia is experiencing its poorest season under Coach Lit ties tutelage, the fine brand of ball Ed Furey has been playing at end has not been fully appreciated by any but the coaching staff. Amerino Sar- no has played his tackle positions with a dash and finesse that ordi- narily would insure him place on almost everyone's all-America team, but because Fordham has enjoyed indifferent success his efforts have been for the most part overlooked.
 Harvard Has Adzigan
 You won't find such names as Ike Kern of Colgate, Joe Meglen of Georgetown, Dick Tuckey of Man hattan and many other fine football players on many all-America elevens but that does not mean that they are incapable of holding their own in any company. Had their teams better records to set off their individual deeds anyone of the group might well have been a headliner.
 Even the fair name of Harvard has not been enough to focus atten- ton on the deeds of John Adzigan, an outstanding ball carrier if ever there was one.

SPORT SLANTS

The football spotlight, quite nat urally. is focused on the big teams with the best records. So it is to be expected that the lads performing on the successful elevens should re- ceive lions share of the praise. After all, the sports world loves a winner.
 But while these heroes are basking ill the limelight it is well to remem- Der the hundreds of youngsters who go on playing fine football week after week. You don't hear so much about them as possible all-America candidates and most Of them are lucky to find their names even on sectional all-teams but that does not alter the fact that they play the game, and in many cases better than the "s.ars" who reap the headlines.
 "One Man" Teams
 Football is ssentially game O. team play And wien you see a chap rise to heights without the support Of his mates. you have to admit that he has something. A fair back often looks great when his line is giving him the opportunities to sparkle. But ball carrier who has to depend almost entirely On his own speed, elusiveness and power to gain pre- cious yards in losing cause needs that extra something to be outstand- ing
 An exhibition such as Jay Der wanger, Chicago's great back, flash ed against Ohio States powerful sleven should entitle any back to equal rating with the best in the country.

 TOLD, ADDRESS
Dr. Ales Hrdlic ka Gives Lecture Tn Washington
 Regarding Work

In a lecture delivered on Novem- Der l3 in the National Museum at Washington, DC, Dr. Ales Hrdlicka explained the purpose and results of the recent anthropological ex- petitions in Alaska. Dr. Hrdlicka has been directing excavating at numerous locations in the Terri tory for several years; the work being sponsored by the National Museum under the Smithsonian In- stitution. During 1885 exploration was carried on in the vicinity of Larsen Bay on Kodiak Island.
 From Asia to Alaska
 Dr. Hrdlicka showed that the work of the past summer tended to confirm the generally accepted belief that man originally found his way to the American Continent by way of Alaska from Asia, and the direct indications are that he migrated along the route of the Aleutian Islands as well as across the Boring Straits. Strata of silt accumulated through many ages were removed and searched at the site of the Kodiak Island explora- tion for indications of human resi- dence. The results were very grati- flying to the expedition as many artifacts showing a considerable degree of culture by their makers were recovered. Most of these were objects such as lamps, utensils, tools and arrow-heads carved from granite rock and bone, and small CT number from ivory.
 Evidence Is Found
 Indisputable evidence that these early inhabitants even had some surgical skill was shown by skull recovered by Dr. Hrdlicka on which a trepanning operation had been performed; the growth of new bone structure showing that the owner had probably lived for many years after the operation. One stratum that was encountered, showed that in the distant past the region had had a change in climate covering many years during which very little rain fell, and then for some un- known reason the climate changed abruptly to the rainy climate that prevails today and which lower strata showed had prevailed before the beginning of the arid period.
 The articles recovered by the ex- pedition have been placed on ex- hibition on the main floor of the National Museum.

STAND ON OIL SANCTIONS

LONDON, Dec, 5.-'Sir Samuel Hoare, British Foreign Secretary, de- livered a pronouncement of the Brit ish stand on oil sanctions against Italy, when he told the House of Commons today, We must be ready to play our part" He said Great Britain, as well as the League of Na- tions, has already agreed to the oil embargo in principle.
 The question to be decided is whether the actions of non-member states would render ineffective the action of member states. Further light has recently been thrown on this important question, with the re- suit that it is now possible for the Committee of Eighteen to have further meeting for the purpose of discussing the actual application of this form of pressure" said the Brit ish Foreign Secretary.
 Japan Is Warned
 The Foreign Secretary also sound ed warning to Japan against furth- CT aggression in China. The North China situation, he said. might be harmful to Japanese prestige among other countries unless she quickly clarifies her attitude.
 T can only regard it as unfortu- nate that events should have taken place which, whatever the actual truth of the matter may be, lend color to the belief that Japanese in- fluence has been exerted to shape China's internal and political devel- opments,' said the Foreign Secre- tary.
 Administrative arrangements, or anything which tends to create this belief, can do only harm to the pres tige of Japan, and will hamper de- velopments of those friendly mutual relations between Japan and her friends and neighbors which every one desires"
