Providing a variety of hit tunes as
well as popular favorites, Bill Layton
and his orchestra will be on hand
tonight from 9 p.m. to midnight in
the Union Ballroom to furnish music
for week-end dance enthusiasts.
Among those to be featured tonight
will be Judy Ward, the orchestra's
vocalist, and Tommy Turk, up and
coming trombonist. Dwight Daily,
the orchestra's popular first alto sax-
ophone player and composer of the
theme song will also be in the spot-
light when new and old arrange-
ments are played. Two new songs,
"Her Tears Flowed Like Wine," and
"The Trolley Song," which are gain-
ing much attention will be presented.
Layton has promised that new
tunes will be introduced each week.
and that those numbers requested
by dance-goers will also be played.
Union dances are held weekly, both
Friday and Saturday nights and have
come to occupy a prominent place
in week-end campus activities. At-
tendance has been high, but it has
never reached the place where dan-
cing is obstructed by too big a crowd.
Tickets to the week-end dances
may be purchased by Union mem-
bers at the Travel Desk. Union cards
must be presented before the sale of
a ticket can be made, and each
member may purchase one ticket.

American women suffer approxi-
mately 95,000,000 colds annually.
That means 95,000,000 sessions of
red-nosed, choked up, I'm-not-fit-to-

all of us.
But even in the midst of a cold,

can look better than you feel.
The read troublemaker, it says,
is the nose. Use an opaque foun-

VU' Professo'
Has Interesting
Squirrel Hobby
By MARGIE HARRINGTON
"Look, Dr. McCartney, there's a
squirrel scratching at your window!"
exclaimed a recent visitor to Dr.
Eugene S. McCartney's office on the'
fourth floor of Angell Hall.
"Yes, I know," said the editor of
Scholarly Publications, University of
Michigan Press. "They have been
coming here since 1934."
Ten years ago Dr. McCartney
gave his first "hand-out" to a for-
aging fox squirrel. Since that day
the good word of "free eats for all"
must have spread among the squir-
rel community, for squirrels in a
never-ending stream have been
nibbling away at the bushels of
Dr. McCartney gathers every fall.
One time one of the bushy-tailed
creatures refused a bad nut that
was handed to him. It seems that
squirrels can tell when a nut is bad
by its weight or smell. The nut shells
left by the squirrels are piled so high
outside on the roof by the coming
of spring that the custodians have
to shovel them up.
Not all the squirrels are content
to stay outside the window and
scamper away with their booty. One
squirrel jumps down to the table con-,
taining Dr. McCartney's copy of Web-
ster and looks inquisitively around.
He seems to be trying to find nuts
in the dictionary. A squirrel's mood
is shown by his tail. It is always
easy to recognize anger in a squirrel
because he shakes his tail back and
forth like a flashing whip.
Dr. McCartney has written arti-
cles concerning squirrels and their
habits for Nature and the Michigan
Alumnus. The shelves of his office
contain about two hundred squirrel
figurines. A tiny squirrel with a
peanut body and a wisp of fur for a
tail stands next to a petite squirrel
carved of bone.
One immediately recognizes Walt
Disney's squirrel creations in two
figurines with wide grins and large,
sweeping tails. Some of the figures
are utilitarian. There are salt
and pepper shakers, napkin hold-
ers, flowerpots, silver bookends, and
numerous other articles all in the
form of squirrels. Dr. McCartney
was recently given a "liqueur Mab"
from Cuba, a hollow china squirrel
with a stopped on top. He even
has a bottle of squirrel liquor.
He has compiled twelve scrap-
books. They include a great many
articles taken from newspapers and
magazines about squirrels. Sketches
of squirrels are used a great deal in
advertising children's clothing. While
traveling across the United States,
Dr. McCartney collected many pic-
tures which make up one of his
scrapbooks.

lashes but keep it off the lower lids,
Use freely a rich emollient on the
skin and nails as colds tend toward
dryness.
And for the lack-luster of your
.hair, brush as much as you areE
able. Shampoos, o: course, areI
out. But here's a good way to'
strip your hair of oil and dirt.
Pack your brush with cotton or
spike it with layers of gauze. Or
if you can use the beaten whites
of eggs on the hair, brushing it off
after it dries.
For chapped, sore lips you can use
an old-time home remedy--granuiat-
ed sugar. Rub it on the blisters.
Sugar allays itching and burning
and hastens the drying process. Ap-
ply a rich emollient when the scab
forms. And use a colorless pomade
as a base before applying lip stick.
Bright Letters
From Home,
Cheer Soldiers
In nearly every daily newspaper's
"Letters to the Editor" column a let-
ter from a soldier, asking for more
letters to his buddies runs at least
once a month.
These anonymous soldiers, sailors,
coast-guardsmen, etc. plead with the!
girl friends and families of soldiers
abroad and in their camps to write
more often. They give heartening
examples of men who weep them-
selves to sleep for lack of mail.
It must be a serious situation for
strong men would not admit such
feelings so publicly. Surely the
women with husbands and fiancees
are doing their part-the 'trouble
must be with the unattached men
who are looking for the usual friend-
ly greetings they would get walking
down to the corner drug. All are
not looking for love letters. They
just want a bit of home, or in the
case of men overseas, they just want
a piece of Americana to dream about.
The art of letter writing has long
been disguised with horrible and hid-

This Yule Qive
'From the Heart
To the Heart'
Old Aunt Jennie is a darling. Our
whole family adores her. When her
eightieth birthday was close at hand,
I wanted to make her gift something
extra special. So I asked her what
she really wanted, and her answer
gave me a jolt.
"Don't insult me with another pair
of felt slippers!" she warned. "I'm
sick and tired of being reminded I'm
as old as Methuselah. Give me some-
thing you'd like-say a pair of satin
mules like you wear. I want feather
trimmings. and make them shocking-
pink, too."
Don't Be Sensible
"Miss Pruitt was my prim, digni-
fied, conscientious nurse during a
hospital stay. When I left there I
didn't give her the expected book or
serviceable white stockings. I gave
her a filmy nightie, all lace and
bows. I'll never forget her expression
of joy. I had guessed it. She had
always been given 'something sensi-
ble.'
"Mrs. Haddington has been a scrub
woman in the building where my
husband words ior many years and
he thought I was out of my mind
when I gave her a bottle of my
favorite perfume for Christmas.
Think Before Giving
But Mrs. Haddington didn't. 'Bless
you, Ma'am.' she choked. 'This is the
kind of present one lady gives to
another lady. That does something
to a body like me, I can tell you!'"
The right gift subtly informs the
recipient that you see something in
her which others may have over-
looked. When you make out this
year's Christmas list, don't give the,
"appropriate" gift. Give from the
heart to the heart!
