EXHIBITION AT UNIVERSIT Y MUSEUM FEATURES RARE POISONOUS LIZARDS, Gila monsters, the only species of poisonous lizards in the world, fea- ture the exhibit of snakes and liz- ards on the landings of the Uni- versity Museums building. Found in deserts, the particular specimens on display come from Texas and Mexico. Due to theirten- vironmenzt, the animals are quite sluggish. They exist on eggs chiefly, and in captivity show a fondness for hamburgers. The poison is lo- cated in the teeth, according to Mrs. Helen T. Gaige, curator of amphi- bians, in charge of the exhibit. When the lizard bites, it holds on like a bull dog, excreting the poison as it chews. The Gila monster stores its excess food in its tail, using it when deprived of daily nourish- ment. "Desert animals," Mrs. Gaige ex- plained, "are not used to water in their natural surroundings, but when placed in captivity they seem to enjoy lying in it all day." The exhibit also contains a hog- nose snake from Texas. This reptile is quite similar to a cobra in mark- ings and actions. While harmless, it has the habit of flattening the part of the body just inf erior to the head, and puffing the rest of the body up. By this it emits a hissing, Takes Aim at Pigeon. But Foot Intervenes EVANSTON, Ill. Oct. 16. - (P) - Gene de Servi got his name on page one of a Chicago newspaper Thurs- day with a meelee which may prove as memorable as the one he staged with the iron dog, In case you failed to read about it at the time, Mr. de Servi is the former dog catcher who a few years ago sneaked up from behind some bushes and pounced upon a dog on the grounds of a fashionable estate, only to. find the hound he sought was made of iron. The result was not pleasing to him and he subse- quently went out of the dog catch- ing business altogether. Back on the force as a special policeman he decided to do some- thing about the pigeon plague, so he ,set out for Northbrook. There on the main street he drew his pis- tol and coaxed the pigeons around him by using peanuts as bait. One of the birds ensconced right by his foot. Gene took aim and fired. And then he went to a hospital. The bones of two of his toes were shattered. "The trouble was," he explained at the hospital, "that the blamed pigeon came too close and the bul- let hit my right foot." almost snorting sound, and by re- peated striking frightens off ene- mies. Its chief diet consists of frogs, but it has made no attempt to attack the two placed in its cage the last three days. Two small boa constrictors from Cuba are also displayed. These snakes do not bite, but crush their prey. They are nocturnal, passing the day coiled up with their head hidden from view. Ribbon snakes, Michigan's pret- tiest garden snake, may also be seen. Michigan's R.O.T.C. Band Gains Approval of Alumni Secretary Many comments were heard fol- lowing the appearance of a campus opinion letter in The Daily earlier in the year, declaring that the R. 0. T. C. should not be a ruling fac- tor in the Michigan band. T. Hawley Tapping, genera'l sec- retary of the alumni association, in an interview made this statement: "The news that the Michigan. Band is to go to Princeton will be received by our Eastern alumni with great satisfaction and a good deal. of enthusiasm, I am sure. Our East- ern alumni are just as proud of the Michigan Band as are our grad-' uates who live in the Middle West here and have an opportunity to see the Band on numerous occa- sions. A great many of those along the Atlantic seaboard, of course, saw the organization at Boston and at the Harvard game last Fall and it was a source of great satisfaction to them to hear the favorable com- ment elicited on all sides. "Evidently in the East the bands do not have the benefitof the mili- tary training which similar organ- izations do in the West. I think it is particularly fortunate that our Band has been priviledged to be- come connected with the R. 0. T. C. for in that way the organization is given the benefit of instructionj from skilled drillmasters. "I don't know whether many peo- ple realize that one of the deciding factors in the move which resulted in the R. O. T. C.'s assuming spon- sorship for the drilling of the Band came from the alumni; particularly from the leaders in the Student Re- lations Committee of the University of Michigan Club of Detroit. Members of that Committee look- ed on unhappily several .years ago when the University of Indiana Band appeared on our field and Play Production will open the campus dramatic season early in November with the production of Alexandre Dumas' "A Marriage of Convenience," Prof. Valentine B. Windt of the speech department stated yesterday. The opening date is not decided as yet, though steady work is now in progress on the play. According to a statement of Pro- fessor Windt, director of Play Pro- duction, the show should provide an attractive opening for the sea- son. It is a lightsome French com- edy of 1750 setting, about, people who are mannered for manner's sake. Much laughter comes out of the particular situation which finds a husband in love with his wife, and a wife (ah woe) in love with her husband. Though neither-for sake of good taste-admit this to the other, until-.What can such a situation bring? Much laughter,, we are assured, a kind of "lovely" laughter. For "lovely," says Mr. Windt, is the only word to describe comedy of the sort contained in "A Marriage of Convenience." The production will be .staged in Play Production's own Laboratory Theatre, and a slight admission will be charged. A new patron list, it is announced, will be made for Play Production files from the names of those attending a presen- tation of "A Marriage of Conven- ience."' Names on this list will be eligible for tickets to Play Produc- tion's private offerings which oc- cur from time to time throughout Architectural Exhibit. Continues Next Week In the large gallery of the archi- tectural building there is an exhibit of architectural designs. All the work has been done by students. This exhibit has been on display for the last week, but for the benefit of old graduates who may be returning for the football game this week end, the exhibit will be left up for a few more days. executed maneuvers which our boys were incapable of duplicating. It was discovered that the Indi- ana Band, as well as many other Western university bands, have the benefit of military instruction, so the Detroit alumni immediately concerned themselves with discov- ering whether or not a similar prac- tice could be followed at Michigan. the year. Last year, some six pri- vate bills of plays were given by the students of Play Production, Thus friends and past patrons are urged to attend this presentation. Moore Says Reflection Is Secret of Lighting If a lower inside room of a hotel is made of glass, it will receive less light than if it contains a few small windows, Prof. A. D. Moore of the electrical engineering department declared in a radio talk yesterday afternoon over station WJR. The secret of lighting is multiple reflection, according to Professor Moore. It is not the direct illumin- ation that is responsible for the brightness of a room, but the light reflected from wall to wall. It is therefore possible to increase the brightness of a room by making the walls better reflectors of light. SHIP THOUGHT. LOST Attempts to Communicate With Freighter Unsuccessful; 40 Seamen Aboard. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 16.--(A) -Attempts of the liner President Jefferson to communicate by radio at 6 o'clock this morning with the stricken Japanese freighter Yonan Maru failed, giving rise to the be- lief that the latter had gone down. A wireless from the striclje.n ship, intercepted 20 minutes previous to the futile attempt at commun1i- cation, said: "We are now sinking. Come quickly."s The 7,154-ton ' freighter, which carried a crew estimated at be- tween 40 and 50 men, first called for help at 2:20 a. m. (5:20 a. m.) Later messages said her decks were awash and she was sinking rapid- ly. The President Jefferson, with Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh among its passengers, was about 65 miles from the stricken vessel at 6 o'clock (9 o'clock) and expected to reach the scene about 10 a. m. (1 p. n.).' IU LU IN bU!Uf Louisiana Gubernatorial Mix-up Marked by Willingness for Arbitration. BATON ROUGE, La., Oct. 16.-(P) -Louisiana's gubernatorial revolu- tion apparently is going to be de- cided by battles purely legal. Gov. Huey P. Long, the besieged, rested his armed guard of state highway police today following the announcement of his lieutenant governor, Paul N. Cyr, chief pre- tender to the executive chair, that he would leave the matter to the courts. Cyr, who voluntarily took the governor's oath at Shreveport and demanded that Long abdicate be- cause of his recent election to the United States senate, said Thursday night he had "no intention of go- ing to Baton Rouge to start trou- ble." He made the announcement in a campaign speech at Alexandria (he is seeking election to the governor- ship in the next voting) and added he -was going "to abide by decision of the courts, because I am a law- abiding man. The third claimant to the gov- ernor's office, Walter L. Aldrich, unemployed resident of Shreveport, who took the oath after Cyr and warned he, too, would file an ouster suit against Long, remained silent today. He previously said he was coming here to "take possession" of the office. Meanwhile, there was an open season on the office of lieutenant governor. Alvin O. King of Lake Charles, president pro tempore of the state senate, was on the payroll as the lieutenant governor after Long had Cyr's name struck off as he laid claim to the governorship. But he was only one of those who said the job was theirs. He has taken the oath. L. D. Smith of Benton claimed he had as much right to the office as -King and also took the oath to become "one of the lieutenant gov- ernors." E. H. Reed, a Shreveport groceryman, remarked that times were "sort of hard" and that he also expected to take the oath for lieutenant governor because "the third governor ought to have a lieutenant governor."

Thursday morning he went to class as usual and, find- ing no vacant seats among his, fellow B's, he stretched himself comfortably in the aisle between them. In the meantime Professor Wil- liams had looked up Buck's record and found he had not completed the necessary prerequisites and was therefore ineligible to enroll in the course.'
