Receive Orders for Manufacture
of 1,000 New Planes
Immediately.
Detroit's newest addition to the
aviation industry, the Dare Air-
plane company, will soon swing in-
to manufacture of their product at
Milan where 25,000 square feet of
floor, space has been bought forj
production purposes, along with a
400-acre flying field, it is an-
nounced by the company.
The design of this new plane"
which has been approved by sev-
eral of the country's leading aero-
nautical engineers, will be as per-
fectly stream-lined as is possible in
a commercial ship. One of the
unique features of this new plane
is its landing speed of 15 to 30,
miles an hour, due to the variable
chamber of the wings which also'
allow the plane to get off the
ground more rapidly, with less run,
and carrying a greater load.

Ellis Ball added to the afternoon's
interesting program.
A vivid description of Mont
Saint-Michel illustrated with pho-
tographs diversified the short dis-
cussions. The awe-inspiring ac-
count of a bicycle trip from Paris
to Avignon by Bob Howell and his
brothers typified the kind of enter-
tainment the student speakers had
for the members of the club.
Historical details of the ancient
city, Carcassonne, were revealed in

School of Public Health '
Committee Head.
Returning from Harvard uni-'
versity, Dr. Hugh Cabot, dean of{
the School of Medicine, yesterday
told in an interview important
functions of the Harvard Board of
Overseers, to which he has been
recently appointed. Dr. Cabot has
been elected to several positions on
the board, including chairman of
the School of Public Health com-
mittee, and member of the Medical
School committee.
The Board of Overseers, accord-
ing to Dr. Cabot, is a college insti-
tution found only at Harvard. The
differentiating feature is that the
Board, consisting of five men serv-
ing for six years, is notappointed,

Fast Comedy.
Foremost among the new order
of talking picture comedians is one
Jack Oakie, who gets his laughs
not through pantomine or any of
the old devices of the silent funny-
man, but by fast, snappy, ultra-
modern "wise-cracking." Possessed
of a voice and manner well-suited
to this style, he has already estab-
lished himself as a prime favorite
after roles in "Street Girl," "Hard
To Get," and several other films.
Now he is featured at the Michi-
igan in "Fast Company," a comedy
from the pen of Ring Lardner, in
which he is the small town boy who
makes good in a big way. Besides
Oakie, there's an able cast headed
by Evelyn Brent, Skeets Gallagher,
and Gwen Lee, the latter losing her
job at the five-and-ten "because
she couldn't remember the prices."
The picture travels along at a
lively clip, consistently amusing
throughout. It's a likeable film,
well-worth seeing.
