Read the Want Ads | WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1922 LOCAL MOVIE STUDIO FINDS FILM "VAMP" OF THE AGES Husbands are being eaten alive in certain parts of Evanston, while on- lookers are powerless to intercede. The gruesome performance may be seen at the Society for Visual Educa- tion, 2203 Dodge ave., There is no need for worry, however, for the "husbands" are spiders, the latest members or bugdom to be chosen to appear in the movies. [} About twenty-five spiders, most of which are Argiopeds, are to be found in the enclosed garden adjoining the building. They have been found on the banks of the canal, or brought in by neighborhood children. The female of this variety can be easily recogniz- ed by its beauty of color and size. The male is harder to find for he is small and of brownish color, "The spider is the most temper- amental star on the screen", remarked Miss Lucile V. Berg, who has charge of this work. She will attempt to get films of the various actions of spiders, even to the spinning of the web. This will be difficult, for, most of the pictures will have to be taken during the evening, when the spiders are most active. After the lens has been carefully focused so the spider will not appear to be hanging in thin air, Mrs. Spider may decide that she does not want to be photographed and procede to shake her web, or she will refuse to perform. One evening, for instance, a female spider allowed a male spider to come quite near her. Her leniency attracted another male spider and both began to frolic. After the camera had been removed, she aroused herself sufficiently to "grab" them both and devour them. She had waited until she had two to eat In- stead of one. Mrs. Spider does not stop at eating her husband, however--she eats her home as well. She spins her web with almost mathematical precision, com- pleting the job by scrawling her sig- nature in the center. Every night she gathers up her web, eats it, and makes a new one. She spins an outer and inner web as an aid in trapping her victims. To make her captives' imprisonment more certain, she constructs the outer part of the spiral in the inner web of a sticky material. She can traverse this part freely, as her feet are protected. The male usually frequents the outer web, at a safe distance away. The most amusing part of this film will be that showing the courting season of the spider. During this time, the male goes through all sorts of actions, doing everything to at- tract the attention of his lady-love. He is far bolder at this time, than during the mating season. "After that," said Miss Berg, "it is a question of the survival of the nimblest." "The spider's eggs are to be found in a silken bag, about the size of a black cherry. This is usually suspend- ed on a silken thread, and it stays intact all through the winter. The little spiders hatching out also have no compunction about devouring each other. Not all spiders spin webs. Some prey on the webs of others. These spiders, called the wolf spiders, will carry the egg bags with them. If the egg bag is taken from them, they will fight for it, but if a bit of colored yarn is substituted, they will carry that around, which shows that caring for its young is instinctive with the mother. At any rate, the spider has at last come into its own, as it will soon be able to boast, with the green bottle fly, the mosquito, the bee and other in- habitants of insect land that it has been in the movies. Freight By Air to | Be Effective Soon | Belief of Expert (Continued from page 3) cheap power. We have not as yet the proper power, for gasoline is not cheap fuel, and it takes up a great deal of weight that might otherwise go into 'pay' load. This will probably be overcome after the air carriers are in operation, for inventors will then understand what is needed most. "The third and most vital deficiency in adapting the military airship to commercial work is the payroll. The big airships may be handled on the ground by soldiers and sailors, regard- less of whether five or 500 men may be needed. Mechanical control is therefore absolutely necessary in han- dling the load-carrying ships. ""/e have attacked the problem both from the air and ground viewpoint, and the result is a new type of propel ler which can give immediate efficiency when desired. This invention will be introduced shortly for practical use | on aireraft," Hall said. HANDICAP TOURNAMENT 'The annual handicap tournament at the Lake Shore Country club will start on August 11.
