Saturday as a special added attrac-

Herman of Hollywood, Calf.
Herman. one of the oldest news

There are building scenes, street

considerable increase. III growing
conditions are Normal the shipments

Nujol, as in no case does it Cause ex-
haustion or weakening of the sys-

tion. You will have a far better
chance TO resist colds or FLU" or
anydiseases that arc going the rounds.
As a second safety measure. use
Mistol, As it protects the nose and
throat against the germs of infu-
enEa. Use it every morning, the first
thing, before you 20 our. Again,
when you come home at night.
Don't be afraid TO use it freely; il

tF+-Studies OF variable stars-stars

the existence OF a new group ~
variableS according TO conclusions
drawn by b. p. GerasimCvic at the
Harvard college observatory.
For years astronomers at Harvard
and other observatories have been
gathering vast quantities Of data
concerning the mysterious varla-
ton OF these stars.
Study Of this supposed new group
perhaps will be Of vital Importance
IN The solution Of the general prob
lem Of red variables, Mr.. Gerasimo-
vic suggests.
One star which has been under
observation is called US Persei. The
period Of this STARTS rise and fai.

period there have been observed
shorter variations OF 80 days or a
little more.

alton Is concerned. thus indicating
that we have 10 do with a new
