THE FRENCH WAR ORPHANS So that the courage of their fathers may not cause the children to suffer, a number of Nebraska University people have taken up the work of raising a fund to care for French children orphaned by the war. No finer thing could make its appeal to the students of the University. But 10 cents a day Is needed to keep there children at home with their mothers, instead of being placed in a state hospital or asylum. The mothers are working women, forced to labor because of the loss of the support of the father. If they keep their children at their side, they need this small additional help. Many students are in the University who could undertake to care for one of these children for two years which would take but S73. Some of the students have already done this. The junior class set a worthy precedent when it turned its proceeds over to the fund, and the profits of the Pan-Hellenic dance will go to the same good end. As a means of helping in the work, some beautiful little bronze medals have been struck off, the work of the French sculptor, Lalique. The medals are being sold for 25 cents, and all of the proceeds go Into the orphan's fund. Medals are for sale In The Daily Nebraskan office, where any other contributions to the fund will be received. The student who agrees to care for one of these two children for two years can feel that he is doing something, not alone for the child, but for better world relations as well a humanitarian work that means much. Arrangements are made for the child to write to the guardian, and for replies to be sent to France, so that a per sonal relationship and friendship is established. . WHAT THE UNIVERSITY NEEDS The report of the regents, published to Tuesday's Nebraskan, calls attention to the need for increased appropriations for the gen eral University expenses salary and maintenance. The legislature appropriated a lot of money, but the appropriations were for whipped cream deserts rather than for the badly needed meat -and potatoes. The regents, in their report to the legislature, called especial attention to the need of more funds for salaries and maintenance of the two main plants, but their plea was ignored while the legisla tors appropriated funds for the Omaha medical college, special fruit farm and other projects that are valuable, but shouM not have been emphasized at the expense of the real needs of the institution. Meanwhile the students should congratulate themselves that they have instructors so loyal that they remain here for the love of the school In spite of the relatively low salaries. And the students should take It upon themselves to spread Information about the real needs of the school, wherever they may go, and especially among the home folks.

FORUM Sigma Delta Chi Sigma Delta Chi meeting and elcc tlon of officers Saturday noon at the A to "Internationalism" To the Editor of the Nebraskan: I have nothing against "castles In Spain" and day dreams, provided they keep themselves in their appointed place in the imagination of an artist. But when a politician rollB up the sleeves of his parllamenterlan imagi nation and begins to talk "moon shine," there is as much hot' air vaporing around a though it wasn't moonshine at all, but a hot Texas midsummer sunshine. I have nothing against hot air either, if it comes from a radiator, but when It comes from a human mind, then forgive me,' God, if I start cursing; it gives me no bodily warmth and a lot of mental discomfort. But then, perhaps, it may only be a matter of individual constitution, for some people seem to enjoy hot air under any conditions, enjoy it so much as to raise a lot more of it by hand-clapping. However, let's come to the point. The other night, you know, a distin guished English M. P., present or former, made a speech for us, poor souls, in the Church of All Souls, in our dear old Lincoln town. As to himself Mr. Nelson is a fine looking chap (ask the girls), but as to his speech . . . well, I don't blame him, for one can't talk on "Interna tionalism" and talk Bense, at the same time; you've got to talk one or the other. If you don't believe me, wait until winter comes again and it gets really cold, and then look up some of H. G. Well's stuff. Mr. Nelson does not favor the settlement of war on national lines, because, don't you see, there "ain't no" na tional lines, there ain't no national anything; language, national art, tra ditions, music are sheer humbug. National, indeed. Why, such an idea can only come into the mind of an Oxford professor, saya Mr. Nelson. Poor Oxford prof, why don't they give you a rest for a moment. "Nationa integrity! What are you going to do with Alsace and her sister, with Persia, Egypt you can't establish them as, nations, and as you come to the Balkan states, all your national istic aspirations are shattered to pieces. They would not do as inde pendent nations, but they will remark ably fit into a United States of the World. I wish I could have a glimpse at Mr. Nelson, as a representative for England in the international con' gress, legislating at once for Persia, Egypt, Balkan States, Germany, Rus sia, ttc. I think I could imagine what a wonderfully Intelligent vote this or any representative could cast on any question. Or does he think that by the time the United tSates of the World will be formed, peoples and earth will look everywhere so much alike, that he will be able to stay in London and legislate intel ligently for Honolulu? Or does he expect to know the needs and psy chology of all peoples concerned, through a diligent study? Wonder, wonder, how many lives does he ex pect to live. Mr. Nelson does not expect to deal with monarchies, as far as his lT. S. are concerned; he expects each nation to become a real democracy, not only a political but an economic democracy; and as he does not be lieve in forceful democratization of any nation, by outside interference, we've got to wait until universal democracy comes Into existence; well, one good thing about Mr. Nelson, is that he is willing to wait, he Isn't In hot haste, not at all. But my dear M. P. If each nation is an eco nomic as well as a political democ racy what need is there for an In ternational unit, for a U. S.? What need Is there to fear that the war cod will ever dare to show his nose in a peaceful paradise? Don't you, Hccording to your own words, remove the fundamental cause of war, by es tablishing economic, democracies all over the world? If you think you as to the soundness of your logic and the "internatlonalistlc" side of your mind; for if it isn't economic causes that make for war, there must exist national causes, causes seated in the differentiation of national phychology, which drive nations to quarrel with each other. Then, you must accept nationality, and the worst aspect of national feelings, the brutal aspect of them. As to myself, I am rather disposed to disregard this quarrel some side of national nature, for I do believe, that all the rest which is national, beautifuly national, or na tionally beautiful, will silence this peace when economic democracies shall have been established all through the world, and I shall reap the benefit of the Individualistic ef fort and genius of each nation, of all the wonderful peculiarities of the na tional spirit, expressed in art, mu sic, literature, of all that is proudly worth while In this, big life of ours; of all that does really make this life what It is, in its unlimited ex panse of varied shades of color. Give me more of national peculiarities, give me more of national color and life will s-eem so much bigger. If life is an experiment, let each nation perform it, in her own way, so that If one fails In one part of experiment. this failure may be compensated by on- other nation's success. Let each na tion be free, let it be herself, and we shall make this earthy world of ours such a place to live in that will put paradise to Bhame and invite angels from Heaven. Now, if this Is hot air, let it be so; it's rather cold today, and a hot blast of air won't do you any harm. Mr. Nelson has called America "in ternational." As, rather, a tickling subject, but one doesn't feel like writing for the editor's waste basket. A. ROSENMAN.

Reasons that indicate why some candles are good and others to say the least are "Indifferent." The candies made in our big, white, sunlit, sanitary factory are good because the ingredients are good; because clever brains have studied out ways to make candy better; because nimble fingers execute to the smallest detail the Instructions given them; because there is a senRe of responsibility to the public a feeling that the public has the right to the best that can be given. For Instance the making of "Black Walnut Chews" Is a story In itself. Did you know that each little kernel is cleaned by hand -that the pure "Confectioners" sugar used is made from Hawaiian cane--that a percentage of corn syrup is necessary to furnish the elasticity or the "Chew" that only pure sweet cream is used and the butter 1st a vegetable fat cleaner and more wholesome that each paper Is twisted on by dexterous fingers 7 It Is interesting to know the secret of really good caramels Is that pure cream is added to the corn syrup and sugar mixture until it will stand alone. The famous "WITCHING HOUR" chocolates are as carefully made as it is possible to make candles. Delicious fruit cubes are rolled and dipped in the sofe cream until well covered then they are dipped twice in a thick coating of chocolate. And the cream Itself why does it melt In your mouth and taste bo delicious? As said before the in gredients are the best and after careful blending by a mechanical mixer that never grows tired but mixes and mixes until the cream has a wonderful smoothness beaten whites of eggs are added to give the fiuffiness and mellowness that "make" it good.
