Substitute Gas Used In War Games SAUGATUCK, Aug. 11--(P)- Citizens, soldiers from Michigan and Wisconsin, National Guards- men attached to the Thirty-See- ond Division, put in some inten- sive drills on the use of gas masks today. Thursday they move into the "front line" in West Michigan's war games, andl their officers have received word they will be subjected to repeated "gas" at- tacks by planes of the GHQ air force. The soldier a bit laggard with his mask routine need have no worry about his health, however. The planes will spray a harmless mixture of glycerine, corn syrup and anise. This mixture, described as a close approximation of mustard gas without its deadly qualities, was developed under direction of Liput-Col. Benjamin A. Brack- enbury of the chemical warfare service.

They were sentenced to death after a five and one-half hour trial aboard the prison ship Uruguay in Barcelona' harbor.

"In the second scene, I have used the same lack of foundation. We have an arbor with hanging candles giving the 'Lady Macbeth'-conscience scheme scheme for the Major-General who is haunted because he said he was an crphan when he wasn't an orphan at all to avoid losing his small family of twenty daughters, his daughters being his only means of support in his old age," he said. Sullivan's Personality The traditional pirate colors of red, blue and black will be used in the first scene in contrast to the cool color scheme of General Stanley's home. The maidens will wear the cool colors when they break in upon the pirates while the warmth of the pirates rich colors will break in upon the maidens in the next scene, thus forming a unit of color. Of the successful team of Gilbert and Sullivan, Mr. Wyckoff feels that Sullivan was the greater personality in contributing to music more than Gilbert contributed to dramatic lit- erature with his farcical talent. Gilbert and 'Sullivan were rather a Ben Hecht-Charles MacArthur team of their day, though Mr. Wyckoff feels that Hecht and MacArthur bear more of an affection for ane another than did the easy-going, popular Sullivan and the truculent, caustic Gilbert. Sullivan was interested in a career of serious choral and orchestral works while Gilbert thought little of music for its own sake and desired most to be recognized as a dramatist. Success of 'Iolanthe' They quarreled incessantly and had their most historic and dispiriting squabble when Gilbert resented the petty price of a carpet for The Savoy theatre which had been purchased while he was in India. It was following the success of the gay operetta 'Iolanthe' upon which Gilbert had toiled until he was heart- broken over the death of his mother that Sullivan was knighted and the sensitive Gilbert completely ignored. Years later he himself was knighted by Edward VII and accepted the honor grumbling because it had been bestowed upon him as a "playwright" rather than as a "dramatist." Sul- livan died of bronchitis and heart- trouble at fifty-nine; while Gilbert died of a heart attack suffered when he attempted to save a young woman to whom he had been giving a swim- ming lesson, from drowning at Grim's Dyke where he had retired. He was 74 years old. The work of Sir William Shwenk Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan has remained perennially young because of their clever satires on social and political situations were so vital though their characters were hardly human beings. -1 Volunteers Battling Forest Fires In North The LENS By ROBERT L. GACH I am often asked questions about modern lenses such as: What is an achromatic lens? If a single menis- cus lens made of one piece of glass were used in a camera we would find that the lens brought light of differ- ent colors to a focus at different points. But a lens of one type of glass will place the colors in different positions than another type of glass. Two glasses are selected that have different chromatic charactertistics so that when these two glasses are used together they correct each other and, all colors are brought to a focus at the same. point. Of course it is more complex than that but this is the basic principle. What is an anastigmat lens? The diaphram as you probably know, is the adjustable opening that limits the amount of light passing through the lens, or better yet let us say that it limits the working aperture of the lens. When the lens is placed behind the diaphram, straight lines near the margin of the picture seem to curve outward; when the diaphram is placed on the other side of the lens the lines appear to curve in the op- posite direction, so by using two lenses and placing them one in front and the other behind the diaphram, one counteracts the other and the lines are straightened out. Again I say this is only a simple explana- tion of the basic principles and in ac- tual practice it takes much more than this, 'but it would be impossible to go into that in this column. To get results from your camera you need never know any of the for- mulas involved in lens grinding, but there are certain simple things that you should know. For instance: Do you know if the lens moves back- ward or forward when you change from focus at three feet to infinity? For your information, it moves back- ward. If I were to try to list all the little things like this that are essential to good work I would need the whole paper. There are only a few funda- mentals and all the others you could figure out from these fundamental facts, if you cared to. I would ad- vise you to attempt to learn the sinple underlying facts, involved in photo- graphy and then you will, with the aid of a little careful thinking, be able to work out for yourself most of the problems that confront you every day. -Associated Press Photo All available men were called into action in Minnesota and northern: Wisconsin in an effort to stop devastating forest and brush fires sweep- ing the area.

Adverse comment resulting from the dropping of two Jewish athletes, Martin Glickman (left) of Brooklyn, and Sam Stoller (right) of Cin- cinnati, from the American 400-meter relay team, caused American Olympic officials in Berlin some worry. Stoller, who has another year of competition at the University of Michigan, said the episode had so s, disturbed him that he intends to quit track altogether. Glickman charged "politics" caused the team shakeup. Major Leagues AMERICAN LEAGUE W. L. Pt.

American as well as other losers will be given another chance to advance under the repe- chage system, providing consolation races. As a gesture of sympathy Colombia indicated it would withdraw from the remainder of the games as the result of the withdrawal of the Peru delega- tion which balked at the international football federation's ruling that the South American's 4-2 victory over Austria last Saturday would have to be replayed. The Peruvians will leave for Paris tomorrow. A series of protests, reported to in- volve charges of professionalism, re- sulted in postponement and perhaps cancellation of sail-offs for first places in the six-meter and eight- meter championships of the yachting competition. Italy, paced by Riccardi, captured the first three places in the finals of the fencing competition. Ragno was second and Cornaggia-Medici third. Two Upsets Mark Lawn Tennis Meet HARBOR SPRINGS, Aug. 11.-(1) -Cecil Elrod of Murfreesboro, Tenn., seeded number six in the champion- ship tournament of the Western Lawn Tennis Association, was the victim of the first upset in the play today as Louis Mathias of Toledo, O., pulled out a 7-5, 8-6 victory. Mathias' accurate shots broke El- rod's backhand at crucial moments to eliminate the seeded favorite. Another upset sent John Kireten- stein of Chicago into the third round with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Henry Uhl, University of California at Los Angeles star. Ernest Sutter, National Intercol- legiate champion, breezed past Jack Balaban of Chicago, 6-1, 6-1, and an- other tournament favorite, Julius Heldman of Hollywood, dropped only one game in defeating Warren Davis, 6-1, 6-0. Seeded players also advanced in the first round of women's singles play. Elizabeth Kesting, St. Paul, seeded second, defeated Mary Helen Stein, Palm Springs, Calif., 6-1, 6-1; Margaret Stiel, Oak Park, Ill. ,seeded third, won from Mrs. A. N. Halver- stadt, Cincinnati, by default, and Mrs. Marion Cole, Saginaw, seeded fourth, defeated Mary Louise Wagner. l - - - ill a(It r Did you ever see a man carrying a billboard under his arm?
