AT THE ARCADE
Madge Kennedy's 'latest Goldwyn
picture, "Strictly Confidential," a film
version of Jerome K. Jerome's humor-
ous story, "Fanny and the Servantj
Problem," will be shown at the Ar-
cade today and tomorrow.
This story was first made into a
play under the title of "The New
Lady Bantock," eitertaining thou-
sands of playgoers in England and
America. In its latest form, millions
will have an opportunity to enjoy the
many dilemmas of the 'young actress
in a touring company who marries an
English lord only to find that all her
servants are, her relatives.
As played by Madge Kennedy and
John Bowers, "Strictly Confidential"
is a delightful example of fine come-p
dy, so delicately played that every
shade of humor in the original story
is emphasized. with charm and comic
BAN ON WIRE LESS
STATION REMOVED
Word hast been received at the radio
laboratory in the Engineering build-
ing that the governme'nt ban on amia-
teur wireless transmitting stations is
now lifted and all amateurs are "at lib-
erty to send and receive at will. as
soon as they receive their licenses..
As the application of the engineer-
ing college for' a station license has
brought no results, te set is tempor-
arily closed for transni$gting, though
the receiving set may be used at any
time. The antenna has been up for
several months, and it is hoped that
the station may soon be opened for
work.
The station is well equipped for re-
ceiving on all wave lengths between
100 and 17,000 meters and includes not
only a three stage amplifier, but also
several portable vacuum tibe ampli-
fiers of the type used by the signal
corps. The transmitting unit. is rated
at ten kilowatts and did .a' great deal
of long distance work prior to the
war.
There are a number of good opera.
tors available for work at the station,
and the plan is to have a man on
watch certain nights each week. Any
student who is interested in the sub-
ject is at liberty, at such times, to
go to the station in room 103 of the
Engineering building and, if the oper-
ator in charge believes him capable
of handling'the set, he may do so.

in progress and half-clothed men and
women ran about in the snow, trying
to rake up enough grass and leaves to
start a fire. But now that it is warm,
we see more of those in need. Great
work is needed here and a long, hard
fight must be won before much can be
done to help the great mass of the
poor.

"Hello" Number
*t
Packed full of short, snappy rti-
cues, rapid-fire jokes, and clever draw-
ings, the "Hello" number of the Gar-
goyle will soon be on sale. This num-
ber marks a new regime in staff and
a new style as compared with previ-
ous issues of the magazine.
There are many features, the cot-
ored cover depicting the arrival here
of '23, a clever double page giving
helpful suggestions on "H*ow to
Study," and many other smaller draw-
ings and articles.
STThe Gargoylethis year is attempt-
ing to get away from the lugubrious
style of former years, the magazine
being devoted to the shorter, more
easily read article. The style of the
magazine has been altered, the pages
being broken up much more than last
year and the number of cuts in-
creased.
