"coLlEGE HERO" IS
 THRILLING, COLISEUM

"The College Hero" which open ed at the Coliseum Theatre last night for a two-day showing, has something about it which appeals to each individual ana holds the attention until the final fade-out. This Columbia Pictures product, featuring Bobby Agney, Pauline Garon, Ben Turpin, Rex Lease and Churchill Ross, depends for it's sue cess more upon the human inter- est element than upon a strong plot. The film has for it's purpose picturization of college life as it exists in our American institutions and in that it succeeds admirably.
 Hazing incidents, glimpses of life in the dormitory, the sorority prom and finally the smashing, spell binding football match with the tide turning against the home team. the star player disabled, the second best man out of the game and only two minutes to go, have strong appeal. At this point the temperature reaches fever heat, the hair begins to raise on ends, and just when it seems that we can't stand another particle of tension, the hero rushes into the field and wins the game.
 Interwoven in this fabric are designs of humor, contributed by Ben ,Turpin. Churchill Ross and Joan Standing; motifs of love, sup piled by Bobby Agnew, Pauline Garona and Rex Lease; and a friendship between two college lads which is second to none. Tt is friendship built up by hard knocks and great sacrifice, al friendship as enduring as bronze, and one which will be remembered long after the picture has been erased from memory. st .

Attractions At Theatres
THE OVERLAND STAGE" PROVES HIT, AT PALACE

"The Overland Stage" which opened last night at the Palace, proved the contention, advanced some months ago when 4Senor Daredevil hit town like a hurri- cane in hurry, that this hand some lad from Texas, Ken May hard. Is about the best cowboy star in the business, screen or cricus.
 The First National offering last night was replete with thrills of story, setting and the daring horsemanship which marks the dark-haired Lothario of the West.
 The tale is set in the days when the stage coach lines from the East and the West were just being linked in the Indian country. May hard has the role of a scout of the stage coach company, posing as a gambler, in an effort to dis cover, who is robbing the lines and at the same time stirring up h. dian antagonism against the com pany's general store.
 The romance that develops be- tween the daring young agent and the daughter of the storekeeper gave last nights audience at the Palace one of the most enjoyable evenings of entertainment the screen has offered in some weeks.
 The supporting cast is headed by Tom Santschi, Sheldon Lewis, Dot Farley, Florence Turner, Jay Hunt, William Malan, Paul Hurst and Fred Burns.

Three Meals for Each Day
Should Be Well Balanced

Breakfast, luncheon and dinner-each
of these three meals fills a different
role, and each satisfies a different de-
mand. In making plans for our meals
we should have distinct idea OF what
these needs really are-what they are
generally, and for your own family in
particular.
Very wisely the three meals are diff
ferent in character. To have the three
meals of all precisely the same sort
would indeed be monotonous. One dis
advantage in having coffee three meals
a day is not only that there might be a
little more coffee than was good for one.
but that 1t would produce deadly
monotony. Meat and potatoes vege-
tables, bread and butter, something
SWeet-and coffee-may do very well
for dinner If you don't want to attempt
anything more subtle, but 1t becomes
monotonous enough when luncheon is
merely repetition of the same formula
ana breakfast consists of the same thing
sans the vegetables.
II the breakfast Is fairly nourishing
and dinner comes at the end of the day'
luncheon may be regarded as a sort of
tloe-oVer -- supplying enough nourish-
ment and energy to maintain Strength
and well being without laying up a re-
serve force

the piece de resistance may be a salad
In this weeks menus salads are used
in this way for four luncheons out OF
the seven. A substantial starch and
protein dish, such as macaroni au gratin
or baked beans, may be used with some
sort of fruit to follow
With some persons dinner is the only
really substantial meal of the day.
Breakfast is nothing more than light
refreshments after the fast of the night,
and luncheon is barely more substantial.
One may easily accuStom ones self to
two light meals with appetite almost all
reserved for rather lavish dinner.
With some persons the advantage of
dinner at the close of the day Is that it
may be taken after the business cares
OF the day are over and one has leisure
really to enjoy we'll planned and we'll
cooked meal
Personal tastes differ so much in this
regard that often within one small
family one will like fairly hearty
breakfast, another will care for a most
substantial dinner with very little at
other meals and third will like a fairly
substantial breakfast and only mod
crate dinner.
So in planning your menus consider
these facts and remember that no one
person will probably do honor to all
that you have planned. If possible. get
every one to eat fruit for breakfast
but remember that cereal is not needed
by adults who eat fairly substantial
meals later in the day. The chances
are also that there will be some men,
bers OF your family who will not choose

not require any special flair FOR busi-

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Monday, November 5.

tomorrow, according to astrology, which
finds the planetary government promis-
ing for good political rule
The partial eclipse of the sun which
takes place the 18th of this month falls
with the planet Saturn angular and in
power, fact that is supposed to presage
misfortuneS for women, chief of which
is an increase in the number of divorces.
This eclipse will especially affect
Russia. a London astrologer propheSies.
and will bring changes that will be
beneficial.
Persistently the foreign seers prognos-
ticate battles and bloodshed for Europe
and the Orient.
Idaho and Nevada are supposed to be
subject to direction of the stars that
preSagcs severe storms and even seismic
shocks.
Education will now come under the
scrutiny of world experts, it is foretold,
and the United States will offer a wide
field for the introduction of advanced
ideas.
After long interest in personalities
and small details of their careers the
world is to see life in it's largest rela-
tions. the seers foretell, and for this
reason progress will be much accelerated
Growth of aviation will tend to eStab-
lish the habit of looking on broad ex-
panses of experience as we'll as of land

Persons whose birth date 1t is probably

White Velvet Selected
For New Lamp Shades

Some of the smartest of the new
lamps have pure white shades. highly
lacquered. Others have white velvet
shades, and other shades of SOFT
finely pleated white crepe de chine.
These white shades are on lamp
bases of opaque white glass or white
pottery
Other lamp shades are made with
old prints of houses on parchment. The
parchment is cut away under some of
the windows and doors, so that the
light glows brighter behind these open
ings, giving the effect of a street scene
with lighted houses at night.
Stars are used on many of the new
shades. Big and little stars. both sill
yer and gold, irregularly placed.
Metal, too. is used to decorate lamp
shades. Nickel and brass. in cres-
cents. stars or conventionalized scrolls
and angled figures. is applied fiat on
parchment The parchment is stained
IN different colors.
Modernistic depictions of bridge
parties and dancing are used to deco
rate some of the new shades: and
some show the quaintest of old prints
showing ladies and gentlemen of an.
