The Heart Bomb Of Aunt Eppie Dear Aunt Eppie: I seem to be losing my popu larity with the women. Every day I seem to become more and more like poison. Yesterday I got a lot of nerve and asked one of my ex-flames why I was losing my popularity so suddenly. She re plied that it had been circulated around the women that I tickled in the clinches. What would you suggest ? Yours truly, ADAM FUEL Dear Adam: Your case is a very queer one and I hardly know how to advise you. Have you a little mustache, or do you grow a beard ? Maybe your fingernails need clipping? Maybe it is not a tickle at all but the tingle you hot-blooded Span iards cause when you clinch a woman. As ever, AUNT EPPIE Warren 11.

The universal attraction of Black Magic is capitalized on in “The Spider,” which has its en tire setting on the stage. There are numerous spectacular stunts, but the use of these same occult, hypnotic, mind-reading practices as a medium for solving the per plexing death of a man in the the atre aisle, is unusual to say the least. Impressionistic photography is used to advantage in this picture, particular stress being laid on shadows. Comedy relief is fur nished by El Brendel, who never Bebe Daniels appears in the screen adaptation of Balzac’s “Honor of the Family.” Warren William supports Miss Daniels in this sprightly comedy, playing at ! the lleilig theater for three days | starting Sunday.

The rapid spinning of this plot gives Lowe little time to devote to Lois Moran, who plays the fem inine lead. “The Spirit of Notre Dame,” thrilling football classic of the year, is coming to the McDonald for a three-day run Sunday. This great picture, which is dedicated to Knute Rockne, has Lew Ayres and William Bakewell in the star ring roles. The famous “Four Horsemen” also appear in impor tant parts. Declared to he the first football picture without a love story, it promises something different from its worn-out proto types. Joe E. Brown at Colonial “Sit Tight” is the name of the new Warner Bros, comedy featur ing Joe E. Brown and Winnie Lightner, but sitting is about the only thing these two do not do throughout the picture. "Sit Tight” is showing at the Colonial for the last time today. Starting today, a matinee will be shown every afternoon at 2. “The Man in Possession,” star ring the youthful Robert Mont gomery in his latest film, is show ing at the Colotyal Sunday. Harmony Hillbillies, three Scotch cowboys in a roundup of close harmony, will be seen and heard twice tonight at the Colonial, the stage presentation occurring at 7:30 and 9:30. * * * Tom Keene at Heilig “The Sundown Trail,” starring Tom Keene, opens for today only at the Heilig.

Bill Cody and Andy Shuford, is showing at the State today only. “Reaching for the Moon,” star ring Doug Fairbanks, is showing Sunday and Monday.

United Lutheran The “Reformation Lesson” is the subject for the Luther League. Grace Biestel will lead the meet ing, which commences at 6:30. A social half hour will precede the devotional meeting. Huestis Studying Seasonal Color Changes of Mammals As an aid toward understanding , the phenomenon of color-change in the coats of certain mammals dur- , ing the fall and winter, Professor : R. R. Huestis, of the biology de- ^ partment is experimenting with i and observing several deer-mice which he keeps in his laboratory next to the University infirmary. Professor Huestis has at pres ent, individual photographs of a family of five mice, three of which are unusually light in color, while the other two have normal mark ings. He stated that one of the light colored mice is beginning to acquire a much lighter hue. The cause of color change in the hair of many animals during cer tain periods is unknown to science. ;t is known, however, that the change is brought about through the absence of pigment in the new hair which replaces the old during the autumn and early winter. One of the best examples of this coloration change is the Great Northern or Varying hare, some t'mes erroneously called the "snow shoe rabbit." In autumn the coat of this hare, which is grey in sum mer, gradually becomes lighter in color until the animal sports a pure white coat by winter time, with the exception of its ear tips which remain black, and the hairy pads on the bottoms of its feet. The true "snowshoe rabbit" also undergoes the same change. Baptist The Baptist young people have invited all University students to meet with them Sunday morning at 9:45 in the club room in the church.
