Prof. Meinecke
Gives Recital
At High School
Prof. Bruno Meinecke of the Lat-
in department gave a violin lecture
and recital before a high school au-
dience last night in Gladwin. The
recital was given under the--auspices
of the Extension Division of the
University.
Professor Meinecke discussed the'
violin as a musical instrument, and
described its history, construction
and technique. His program con-
sisted of nine numbers ranging from
the strictly classical to the modern.
In the afternoon "Requisites for
True Listening To Music" was the
topic of Professor Meinecke's lecture.
He accompanied the talk by a prac-
tical demonstration on the piano in-
cluding one of his own compositions.

With the rapid advent of the holi-
day season, everyone is more or less
pressed for time, and the very thought
of "Time" suggests a gift that is both
distinctive and useful. The modern1
clocks, and especially those equipped
with electric motors, have attained
their climax of perfection in beauty
of case, quietness and dependability,
One of the newest and most striking
models comes in a choice of "White,
African" or "Green Sam" Raphael
onyx. The five inch square case is
strongly supported by a back foot
rest. It has a buffed and lacquered
gold-finished bezel with etched-in-
white Roman numerals. The gold-fin-
ished hands are also buffed and lac-
quered.
If you favor just the plain, practical
alarm, two very smart styles are of-
fered. One is a pleasing design for
the dresser or boudoir table. The case
is of black moulded material, set in a
moulded ivory base, while an ivory
Catalin alarm shut-off knob com-
pletes the color contrast.
Another alarm is cleverly made
with a dial that can be clearly illu-
minated through diffusing glass by
means of a tiny lamp that burns
bright or dim, as you desire. It has a
"dura-alloy" case with a non-tarnish-
ing finish and a moulded black base.
"Signalette" Is Popular
A more disguised alarm clock is
called a "signalette" and is made in
the popular and modern easel-type
pattern. Its polished gold-finish metal
frame and supports, presents a strik-
ing contrast to its glossy black, plas-
tic base.
Has Illuminated Dial
A more elaborate style has the
illuminated dial and is also equippedI
W.A.A. To Hold Ski,
Tobogganing PartyI
W.A.A. is sponsoring a skiing and
tobogganing party from 2 to 4 p.m.
today in the Arboretum. Following
the outdoor activities, hot chocolate
will be served in the lounge of Pal-
mer Field House. Betty Evans, '36,
W.A.A. outdoor sport manager is in
charge of the affair.
Women attending can either- buy
their own equipment or use the skiis
and toboggans'supplied free of charge
by W.A.A. Anyone interested is in-
vited and special instruction will be
given beginners.

Several nude mezzo-tints, made by
a recently developed process, are on
dig y in the concourse. These were
mdde by Prof. Mastro Valerio of the
art department, who is one of the
most skilled artists in the country
along this particular line. Mezzo-
with a unique 24-hour automatic
alarm feature. The latter allows one
to set the bell to ring at, for example,
7 a.m. and have it remain silent at
7 p.m. It comes in attractively mould-
ed walnut color, with gold-finished
handle and feet.
Naturally, the kitchen needs ac-
curate dependable electric time, and
to meet this want is a distinctive
wall-model. It comes in a chrome-
plated brass case with "Beetle"
moulded bezel and is available in
green, white, blue, or red.
For the home-study or office, the
model called "minitman" is smart
with its modernistic lines. It has a
brown mahogany case that is cleverly
blended and matched by Satinwood
ornamental front and top panels, and
a statuary bronze escutcheon plate.
Three druni-type dials indicate the
hours and minutes that pass by on a
revolving disc. A small electric lamp
illuminates the numerals.
Shown Without Alarms
For those who care more for refine-
ment of case, several beautiful models
are made without the alarm. One is
appropriately named the "starman,"
because tiny stars replace the cus-
tomary numerals on the dials. It
comes in a square wood panel case
of ldcquer-finished walnut, with a
chrome plated band and a black dial
with silver stars.
Reverting to Colonial days for its
design is the half-size banjo wall
model clock. It has a mahogany case
with colored glass panels, underneath
which is inlaid an early American
"clipper-ship" scene. It is ideal for
either the living-room or bedroom
wall.j
'Give Us Rhythm'
Closes Run TodayI
The Michigan Union Opera, "GiveI
Us Rhythm," now playing at Lydia
Mendelssohn Theater, will close its
five-day run today with two per-
formances, a matinee at 3:30 p.m.
and the regular night performance
at 8:30 p.m.
After the completion of the run
in Ann Arbor, there will be a possibil-
ity that the opera may go on the
road, covering nearby cities in either
the week preceding or the week fol-
lowing Christmas vacation, accord-
ing to unofficial statements of opera
heads who have declared that there
has been considerable agitation by
alumni of the University for a topr.
According to opera officials tickets
for today's performances, priced at
75 cents, $1, and $1.25 for the matinee
and $1, $1.25, and $1.50 for the night
performance, may be secured from

Pencil Sketches Shown
Professor Fairbanks is also dis-
playing pencil sketches of his sons,
which arp unusually effective. Al-
though these are not for sale, orders
may be placed for similar sketches.
Some striking pastels by Frederic
Aldrich of the art department are
being shown. An unusual faithful-
ness of detail is found in a brilliant]
still life of a bowl of chrysanthemums,
while an unusual fall landscape is ,
outstanding for the vivid reds of
the colorings of the trees. (An apple
orchard, in soft shades of greens and
blues, with masses of white blossoms
is an unusually beautiful painting.) I
A group of etchings by Wilfred B.
Shaw, Dr. Warren Lombard, profes-
sor-emeritus of physilogy, and Jona-
thon Taylor, are exceptional features
of the exhibit. Vivid water colors,
done with dashing strokes are shown
by Mrs. May Brown and John Clark-
son. In the art exchange room Ross
T. Bittinger of the art school is ex-
hibiting unusual prints.
Water Colors Displayed

acw E~izbeth Dillon Shop there's
scrutious collection of bright
colored wool dresses that look so
smart under a dark coat. They
come in crisp shades of blue . . .

there are others. of course, includ-
g the new golds. By the way,
lat minute gift selections are easy

Sa shades are Voodoo and Va-

HERE'S nothing that makes a
ioonm or a tables look more
Cl istuinsy than flowers. At the
Tnlvmrsity Flower Shop you'll find
th,,IPeinsettias are still the most
ppropriate. And there are some
icycly deep red carnations and
oie that are pure white . . .
they'd make a striking combina-
tion for any seasonal color scheme
you r nay choose. You can also
leave orders now to be filled any
time during vacation . . . it's a
good way to meet those slightly
formal requirements.
[ERE'S a suggestion gleaned
from our Gadding that may
apply either to the masculine or
feminine gift problem. At Burr-
Patterson-Auld's we found a wall
plaque . . .and what a gift it would
make for one and all . . .from the
oldest grad to the newest frosh!
It's a solid government bronze
Michigan seal mounted on a shield
of American walnut . . . at the
highly special sale price of only
$1.95.
THILE treking about town with
the eagle eye peeled for gift
suggestions we saw an unusually
good specialty at the Fifth Avenue
Shop. They're offering group cos-
metics and perfumes at surpris-
ingly low prices. The groups are
varied. . . some contain powder
and creams, others include mas-
cara, eye-shadow, and lipstick.
And we don't mean just ordinary
powder . . . it's specially blended
just for you and you get so much
more than in the other boxes that
it's a real economy.
TE SEEM to be reaching the
crest of the wave as the vaca-
tion season draws on . . . the best
way we know to keep your wave at
crest is to drop in at DiMattia's for
a thorough "going over!" A facial
will make you feel fit and up to
most anything, and when you've
had a shampoo and wave with all
the trimmings, you'll look the part
of "Come what may . . . ." Let's
all out for a "well-groomed Christ-
mas!"

I I want to bring hours of freedom to
some mother who would like more lei-
sure time.. . but who is so busy with
the needs of her family that she cannot
find it. I want to give her more after-
noons to do the things she wants-to free
her from standing over a stove, day after
day, cooking meals without end. I want
to DO HER COOKING FOR HER-arid
bring her family more delicious meals
than they have ever tasted before.
I can cook a complete dinner for s
family of six-two vegetables, a roast, a
custard, potatoes and gravy-all at one
time. Simply plug me into any electric
outlet and go out for the afternoon. When
you come home your meal is waiting, per-
fectly cooked- piping hot and ready for
the table. I use no more electricity than
an electric toaster.
"Ican roast a 10-
pound harn, a 6.
pound chicken
to perfection; I can fry eggs, steaks, chops,
etc; I can bake cakes, pies, cookies, bis.
cuits and muffins; and I can hold half-a.
dozen pint jars when canning by the cold
pack, hot water bath method.
"I have a Small Sister Susan who is an
electric casserole. Her capacity isn't quite
as great as mine, but in two-quart quanti-
ties she can prepare all casserole dishes
such as Boston baked beans, waterless pot
roast, fried chicken, baked potatoes, etc.,
to melting perfection, in a way that will
make your mouth water!
"If' you are undecided as to a suitable
Christmas gift for any person on your list,
we may be the answer to your problem.
Our attractive appearance-we are garbed
in a charming Colonial dress-makes us
especially suitable for holiday gifts. And
we are sure of pleasing the whole family.
