Buster Crabbe, the boy with the perfect physique, does a big silent man act in “King of the Jungle” tonight, clad only in a panther skin and a swell tan. When papa and mama succumb to the wilds of the African - Southern Cal jungles, Bus is taken home by a handsome lioness and raised like the rest of the cubs, until carted off to San Francisco for a circus act, where he does the lion-taming and Frances Dee tames him. Bus has cultivated a perfect growl, but he would be more con vincing if he had bitten the snake charmer. He is the kind of lion man to be kept under glass on the mantle. The story is weak and some of the shots are scringy, but ‘Done Wrong’ Mac West corning to the Mc Donald theatre Sunday in the mo tion picture, “She Done Him W rung.’' Buster and his lions are a good looking outfit. Best shot: fight be tween lion and a log-horn steer. Biggest thrill: seeing Medford, Salem and Portland on the circus itinerary. A glimpse of the Crabbe form is worth the admission price. Mae ‘‘She Done Him Wrong” West, on the trail of the biggest diamonds and a few grand in cash, invades the Mac Sunday, with the hottest show out of Hol lywood in a long time. Mae was the original Broadway hotcha girl, and they do say she still claims the title. The particularly squeam ish public may not get much fun out of “She Done Him Wrong,” but it will go over big with the rest of us. War that is real war, not the Hollywood brand, is unusual, and can be taken advantage of tonight at the Colonial, where “The Big Drive” is showing for the last time, Actual movies of the armies of eight different countries in ac tion, scenes at the battle of the Marne, theSommes, and in the Ar gonne, give a better view of the World war than any of the Cali fornia movies. The photography is surprisingly good and scenes neat ly fitted together through the four years, fro mthe invasion of Bel gium to the armjstice. Good stuff for anyone interested in the war and its thrills. The great lover, Gable, starts a three-day run at the Colonial Sun day in in "No Man of Her Own,” with Carole Lombard and Dorothy Mackaill. Rich-boy Gable turns j city sharper who entices a small | town librarian back to the metro; and does a large amount of love making, as usual. FAR EASTERN CONFLICT TO BE TOPIC OF MEET (Continued from Cage One) ture on "Manchuria Today” will help to make up a program enti tled “Around the Pacific via Stage Two Dances Close Senior Social Week Senior Leap Week activities came to a close this evening with the annual Mortar Board ball.

The Farewell Folly held at Hendricks hall yesterday evening was enjoyed by a large representa tion of the senior class. The deco rations very cleverly carried out the idea of a school room w\th black boards on which the work of the prominent seniors is dis played. Dunce caps on which the programs for the dance were writ ten in crayola were a special fea ture for the gingham-clad girls and the school boys. and Screen.” Short reels on China, Japan, the South Seas, and other parts of the Pacific will also be shown.

Noble another on “The Sino-Japanese Conflict.” With the many recent develop ments in the conflict between Chi na and Japan in North China, in terest in Oriental affairs is high, and many visitors from other parts of the state are expected to attend the institute. The status of the two "independent” governments, Manchoukuo and Lwantung, prob ably will be one of the topics taken up by Dr. Treat in his talk on “The Possibilities and Facts in the Far East.” The faculty committee which is making arrangements for the in stitute is composed of Dr. Victor P. Morris, Dr. Harold J. Noble, Dr. Warren D. Smith, and Dean Karl W. Onthank. The original sponsor of the plan for the insti tute was the campus Internationa) ; Relations club, of which Dr. Mor ! ris is the faculty adviser.

Convention To Be in Eugene From April 27-30 Chancellor Kerr and Dr. Morris To Address Delegates at State Meet Over a thousand young people from all parts of Oregon are ex pected in Eugene next week-end, April 27 to 30, for the state Chris tian Endeavor convention. Nearly 600 registrations have already been received. Students who have friends coming or who have been Christian Endeavorers are invited to register for the convention. Chancellor YV. J. Kerr and Dr. \Tictor P. Morris are to give two of the principal addresses of the j convention, the first Friday morn ing at 9:45 and the second Sunday evening. Dr. Levi Pennington, president of Pacific college at Newberg, and Dr. Perry C. Hopper, pastor of the YYrestminster Presby terian church in Portland, are also to address the delegates to the con vention. Several students arc helping with arrangements for the con vention, the sessions of which will take place in theFirst Christian church. Twostudents who are on the Eugene general committee are Sterling Cash, sophomore in ar chitecture, and Elinor Henry, jun ior in journalism. Housing the Endeavorers from outside Eugene will be the prob lem chiefly to be considered next week, as about 400 applications for "bed and breakfast" have al ready come in. YVomen have been appointed in all Eugene churches to have charge of hostess cards to be filled out by those who are willing to furnish one or more del egates with a place to sleep and with breakfast. Sororities on the campus have promised to care for two delegates apiece, and 12 will stay at the men’s dormitory. Students who wish home-town friends to stay with them are urged to telephone Christian Endeavor headquarters at the Christian church, phone 686, or Mrs. R. M. Day, housing chair man, phone 423-YV. It is estimated that from 390, 000 to 400,000 calves are born an nually in Tennessee. Mice ThatDefy HighestLaws Are Found by R. R. Huestis Mice which defy the highest laws of mouse-heaven, and turn white in winter, are to be found in Dr. R. R. Huestis' research shack, back on Onyx street. These strange mice were cap tured in Ochoco, in the pine for ests of central Oregon. During the summer they are grey, com monplace mice, with nothing to show that they differ from all the rest of the race; but in the fall their coats begin to turn lighter, until at the height of winter they are almost completely white. At present Dr. Huestis has sev eral of these mice, which, having been white all winter, have be gun to grow darker. He stated that by the time spring has really arrived, their coats will be as grey as ever. There are a number of animals who naturally become white every winter: a certain kind of weasel, the lemming, the snowshoe rabbit, and the ptarmigan a partridge like bird. However, it is very un usual for any species of mice to become white, their coats usually , darkening a little during the win ter. The fact that there exists a kind of mice which has this character istic is notable, according to Dr. Huestic, because it suggests that such a tendency might be a family i possibility, and in time might I spread to all of this certain spe cies of mice. It is very probable that the spe cial quality of some animals to develop white coats during the cold season began in this way, with oniy a few of the species showing the characteristic. The white coated animals surviving better, they had more offspring, and their kind increased until now every member of that species has a white coat each winter. It is possible that this kind of mice found in Ochoco, a few of which now turn white each year, may eventually all develop this characteristic, and that at some future date we may have a species of mice which all develop white coats during the cold weather. Speculation Rife at Infirmary About Cause of Strange Odors By PAUL EWING Speculation was rife at the in firmary yesterday morning. Strange odors wafted about the place on gentle breezes, causing consternation an}ong those doomed to stay and “take” it. They “took" it, but not in silence. As the sun rose higher and the heat increased, so did the odor. And as the odor increased, scandalized patients ac cused each other of everything from halitosis and B. O. to fetid feet. The nurses were appealed to but had to retreat before the stench. They refused to say definitely whether or not halitosis could reach such huge proportions but thought that possibly some new form of that social bugbear had made its appearance. Finally, however, as the sun climbed toward the zenith, some bright soul conceived the thought of getting some non-technical ad vice on the matter. Donald Lewis, superintendent of grounds and buildings, was immediately called for. He arrived on the scene with one or two stalwart helpers and after a few preliminary sniffs de cided that the odor was coming from under the infirmary rather than from the inside. A little exploring was done, which soon disclosed a very de ceased cat. With said cat’s remov al and liberal applications of dis infectants, the place returned to a normal existence. Friendships, broken by suspicion, were patched up, and except for a few rankling charges and a heavy odor of dis infectant everything was peaceful. The Open Road Suppose you came suddenly upon two roads. One straight, well-trodden . . . the other thin and twisting off into undergrowth. If you didn’t want to arrive at any place in particular, you might choose the latter. But not otherwise. Before you, as buyer, run two roads. One is the road of knowledge of an advertised product. Thousands use it. There’s no mystery about it, no doubting, nothing hidden. It leads the way definitely to a fountain pen, a floor wax, a tooth-paste that will give you satisfaction. When you use an advertisement, you use an open road. When you don’t use advertisements, you go the doubt ful road. You have only hazy knowledge of the product ahead. No trade-mark or name to depend upon guides you. 7 he result may or may not be worth the effort. You don’t know. Read the advertisements. Anything widely advertised —breakfast food, hammer, hair tonic-—has proved itself good by advertising. Advertisements put you on the open road to satisfaction « “Influencing 3,500 Moderns”
