tormy Weather-Thats What This Army Outfit Is Seeking
By NEA Service


 The one outfit in the army which hopes and prays for bad weather, and which trucked all the way from Michigan to Camp Mccoy, Wiscon- sin, seeking it, is now being or ganized at the latter post.
 It is a composite regiment of the Fifth Division of snow patrol troops. And they need snowy, stormy weather to do their stuff-which is experimentation with equipment and tactics for winter campaigning. What they learn will become stand ard for all ski troops of the army hereafter.
 Just as Fort Knox devises the key tactics for armored divisions, and Fort Benning is developing para chute troops and aerial transport of infantry, so Camp McCoy's 1400 men are trying out every type Of snow equipment submitted to the army by sports goods manufacturers, in or der to pick the best for standard equipment. Col. Hayes A. Kroner has with him experienced officers of the Second Infantry, some of them with long Alaskan and north ern experience.
 Toboggans as supply wagons, !" skis, snowshoes, outdoor sleeping gear ammunition food, medicald equipment and clothing that must be light, windproof, and waterproof, are all bdng tried out.
 To make the tests practical, the worst weather is needed.

Not at all. They really take home a box of chocolates and read love stories by Faith Baldwin and Kath- leen Norris, according to Henry w. Miles, who has completed 27 years as Reno public librarian and who caters to the reading whims of Reno's divorce colony.
 Reno divorcees take out about 250 books a day to pass their time in winter. when horseback riding is chilly and everybody's gathered about the fireplace in the swank dude ranch houses.
 It requires six weeks residence before divorce actions can be filed here, and during winter, sports, except skiing, are limited to little night clubbing, gambling and reading.
 Night Clubs Quiet
 The night clubs are quiet during the long, snowy winter.
 Many divorcees find love stories more exciting, Miles said.
 About 25 per cent of our busi- ness at the library is with divor- cees," he explained. You can tell one a mile away. Of course know about everybody in Reno. but when the customer comes in wearing all expensive fur coat, Pekinese tucked under one arm and box of chocolates under the other, I know just what she wants.
 Today she wants Kathleen Nor ris or Faith Baldwin, or maybe, Ernest Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls - that's going strong now. They used to ask for Elinor Glynn," Miles chuckled.
 Some of them take out books on horses. One clamored for books on gold mining and enrolled in a min- ing course at the University of Nevada in Reno as a result. Books about Nevada's famous Comstock Lode at Virginia City, the subject of the motion picture Virginia City, too, are popular.
 Divorce-seekerS as a rule bring the books back; are easy to please if you know what to give them, and they don't ask for Gone With the Wind" any more, Miles said.
 Reading Tastes Change
 Gone With the Wind" has gone the way of Anthony Adverse" :" Miles recollected. It was spell binder but doesn't make conversa- tion any more.
 Among the prominent patrons of Reno in recent months have been Mary Elizabeth Giz) Whit ney who divorced multimillionalre snortSman John Hay Whitney;

John J. Mcclure. special agent in charge of the federal bureau of in- vestigation at New Haven, told the Lions club at The Elton yesterday that the Federal and local agencies are better equipped to handle es- pionage activities or other Subver- sive acts than they were in the last World War.
 MT.

This coopera- ton has proved to bring excellent results, he said.

 But those who have been un- lucky in love and don't particularly care about trying their fortunes at Reno's cards and legalized roulette tables. as a rule like to read just straight romance with little Hawaiian flavor or Palm Beach frosting, according to Miles.
 Maybe they like to compensate their own romantic misfortunes by reading the happy ending variety" :" he said.

|LoY AND POWELL IN COMEDY Al
 CAPITOL THEATRE
Frank M1Hugh, Edmund Lowe Support Team in
 Hilarious Play

A sure cure for the blues, rating a laugh a minute, opened at the Capitol Theatre yesterday for an engagement of three days in T Love You Again. co-starring Will liam Powell and Myrna Loy.
 The film, presenting fast-mov- ing. laugh packed series of situ- ations, deals with the plight of a man who suddenly recovers from an eight-year attack of amnesia and discovers that during that time he has acquired new personality, charming wife who is about to divorce him, spotless reputation as the leader of community called Habersville, a bank account anc. the managers berth in large pot tery firm.
 Powell has never had a happier screen role. The opportunity to portray a character decidedly dis- ferent from the suave, polished de- tective in the early portion of the film, is something to see. Imagine him, if you can, with a frowsy moustache, tight pants, white shoes and the hobby of amateur taxi dermy.
 Once again Myrna Loy is cast as his wife, but she's not the perfect spouse on this occasion. As mat ter of fact, the usual procedure is reversed, with Powell forced to chase after her instead of the op- posite A strong supporting cast turning in top performances in clures Frank McHugh as Powelps pal, Doc" Ryan, Edmund Lowe as a slick oil promoter, Donald Doug las as the rival for Miss Loy's af- lections, and Nella Walker as her mother. The film was directed by w. s. Van Dyke II.
