ATHLETIC ROMEO
BY this time it is generally
known that a freshman at V.
MI. Is affectionately known as
"Brother Rat" It is a deScrip-
tive of endearment rather than
contempt. In hilarious caricar
ture this comedy depicts some
of the difficulties that confront
students who try to mix edu-
cation, via the military formula,
and romance.
Bing Edwards, star pitcher for
v. M. l., and a shy, but honest,
disciple of young love, is the
dominant character in Brother
Rats" latest Interpretation. He
Is played by Reese Alsop, with
such a consummate touch OF
self.pity and fortitude, the ath-
lete emerged last night with the
high honors of three rib tick
ling acts.
Edwin Phillips is the new cam
puS daredevil. When he has ac-
quired a better knowledge of
timing lines and enunciating
clearly fast speech, he may be-
come the outstanding character

GoofY Comedy for Capitol

Laughter, spontaneous and
continuous, promises to sweep
through Loew's Capitol Theater
next week when Connie Bennett
and Brian Aherne open in
"Merrily We Live" labeled the
grand successor to Topper"
These two popular stars romp
through the varied moods Of the
story to turn in two Of the most
brilliant performances Of the
year.
Miss Bennett appears as the
spoiled and spirited daughter Of
the Kilbourne household, as
curious, eccentric and lovable a
group of characters ever to lodge
under one roof. Her bright and
pointed delineation Of a modern
girl is both amusing and appeal
ing. Connie proves once and for
all her ability as q master come
dienne by her adept manner Of
casting dignity to the four winds
if the occasion demands and
entering into all sorts Of mad
capers with an infectious gayety.
Brian Aherne's role Is much
broader in comedy value than
he had ever before attempted.
His entrance as a tramp with
tattered clothes and a two-day
beard forecasts q mix-up in iden-
titles and around this feature is
built a series of events that
stamp this romantic and pol
iShed actor as a light comedian
Of engaging quality.
Much Of the hilarity Is fur
thered by the inclusion in the
cast Of Alan Mowbray and Patsy

v. M. I. men are uniformly
enthusiastic about the play.
They believe that it presents a
slant on the flippant side Of
life at their alma mater, and
they like it most because they
say audiences leaving the thea
ter always take with them a
kindly sentiment for the school.
The institute itself has natur-
ally reserved any official COM
ment.
OKAY WITH V. M. /.
Actually, alumni say Brother
Rat" makes v. M. I. appear a
much sprightlier place than it
really is, but they contend that
this is an effect to be desired,
since it counteracts the eStab-
Lshed belief that military col
leges are drab, dreary strong
holds of militarism, with en-
phasis on bed Stats and faScism.
When the play was first pro-
duced, the only dissenting opin-
ions that came from alumni con-
cerned the fact that the insti-
tute might hitch it's wagon to
Brother Rat" and actually be-
come a bit too frivolous. But
such fears have long since
faded into nothingness, for
Brother Rat" had already
hitched its wagon to v. M. I.
and both the institute and
George Abbott are too success
full in their respective fields to
start putting their carts before
their horses at this late date.

'GIOrityng
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

A protective foundation lotion or cream for daytime, a rich night cream and plenty of hand lotion are the most important items for the winter sports enthusiast to take along on her vacation at some northern resort.
 She'll cleanse with cream rather than soap and water in the morn ing and during the daytime and if her skin is very dry she'll remove the second coat of cleansing cream none too carefully, letting what remains serve as a protective foundation for makeup.
 Before dinner, after cleansing with cream, she'll smooth on layer of night cream and pat it in with upward and outward strokes. She'll remove it with tissues, apply skin tonic or plain witch hazel before putting on foundation and makeup.
 It's a mistake, do remember, to wash your hands with hot water when they are very cold. Rinse them in cold water first, then wash with lukewarm. Massage with hand lotion immediately after drying. To keep wrists from getting rough and chapped, put foundation lotion and face powder on them before you go out to ski or skate. At night, mas sage them with oil or your regular night cream.
 Don't forget to take sun glasses i the best ones you can afford. See that they fit so they'll stay on as you glide and twist and turn. Wear them onstantly-ot otherwise, the glare of sun on snow will make you squint. And squinting causes fine lines and wrinkles at corners of eyes.
 Even though she isn't planning vacation at 8 northern resort any girl who lives where the cli- | mate is fairly cold will find a sooth- ing body lotion invaluable in keep ing her legs, arms and shoulders soft and smooth. The best types are of hand lotion consistency These are absorbed quickly, leave no greasy residue on the skin. They're to be patted on after bathing, or course.

the baby from the age of IF to 5 months of age, a teaSpoo1ful or more of wheat germ flour or meal mixed with a bottle feeding or with any cereal gruel or stewed fruit pulp or with well ripened banana, every day. Or feed the baby a teaspoonful or more of pasteurized dried powd- cred brewers yeast daily, in similar fashion. Purpose, to give the baby the boon of better vitamin B complex ration, on which infants thrive.
 Nearsighted
 I am slightly nearsighted but am not wearing my glasses constantly, as they annoy me if wear them too long at a time read that eye exercises can cure eye trouble. (E. W.)
 Answer-Beats all what we can read, doesn't it? I advise you to wear your glasses or leave them of only as your oculist (eye doctor) directs. Eye exercises so-called, are possibly of some value in certain conditions, but the supervision of the physician is as essential as it is in respect to exercises for the heart. If you had weak heart would you monkey with special exercises prescribed by some merchant who never saw you?
 FibrOid TumOr
 Have you any information to give on fibroid tumors of the uterus? Can they be cured without sur- gery? co. c. R)
 Answer-Fibroid tumor, otherwise called myoma, not rarely occurs, in unmarried women around thirty-five or forty, without seriously affecting health, except by flooding or un- usual pain or other mechanical dis turbance due to the enlargement. X-ray theatments in skilled hands will bring complete cure in most cases: surgical removal is the pre- ferred method if the woman still has hopes of maternity.
 Greens
 This year we raised carrots leeks, onions and parsley in our own gar- den. We only eat raw greens be- cause we thought they were good for us. Is there danger from insect eggs or bird droppings? It is prac- tically impossible to wash in the cracks of parsley and carrot tops. Would it be better to cook all our green foods? (Mrs. w. J. W.)
 Answer-The dangers you mention are insignificant. Ordinary wash- ing of green leafy vegetables is suf- ficient. By all means eat them raw. It is contamination of raw vege- tables by human excrement or by human germ carriers handling them between field and table that in- wolves some risk. You need have no fear of that in vegetables grown in your own garden and handled only by yourself.
 Impacted Wisdom Tooth
 Will impacted or interrupted wis. dom tooth affect the eyesight and in time liable to cause blindness? (R. K. S)
 Answer--Nearly half of all adults over 25 never cut from one to all four third molars.
