Social traffic has reached a three-lane highway to indicate middle-of-the-week trends. The majority of men and women, for nightly diversion, chose among attending the twin play productions in Fraser hall, forming into social or scholastic groups in the Watkins library, or in coking at campus cafes.
Dressy sports attires were most in evidence among firstnighters in Fraser hall Monday night. Tweed reefers were in abundance, balanced by a sprinkling of fur "chubbies." Feminine theater-goers carried the trend for simplicity to include plain sports hats.

U. S. Air Base Nears Completion
Tacoma, Wash., (U.P.)—McChore field, the world's biggest military air base, is being rushed toward Hawaii by an encampment by the first of the year.
Col. Frank W. Wright, field commander, said the $18,000,000 project was the center of air defense plans in entire Pacific northwest and Alaska.
The field will mnhaint contact with the U.S. naval air station at Sand Point, a few miles away.
Military strategists looked upon the field as an important link in Pacific coast defenses. It is located between Tacoma and nearby Port
"The first detachment of men probably will be moved in here at the start of the year," Wright said. "Buildings now under construction will be completed by April. At that time an unannounced number of men and planes will be brought here."
About 700 planes eventually will be housed at the field, and barracks will take care of 1,285 men—not including officers and pilots.
It was believed the field would serve as a composite base for bombing, pursuit and observation plans. The team has been at work on the project.

Human Eye Works Better in Darkness Than in Light
Southbridge, Mass. (UP)—The human eye functions far more efficiently in darkness than in light, according to studies revealing that the average normal eye is approximately 100,000 times more sensitive to light after an hour's exposure to darkness. The American Optical Company's bureau of visual science made the studies.
He said that an hour is required (for the eye in darkness to attain its maximum sensitivity to light. Thereafter sensitivity generally remains constant.
After the eyes become adapted to a dark room, the scientists state, a small beam of light resembles the piercing beam of a giant search-light. A simple test proves this, he said. Closet yourself in a dark room, and in 15 minutes they beams of light straying in from cracks in doors or windows may seem like auto headlights.
