THE TENNIS COURTS
Students are enthusiastic over the
six new tennis courts made possible
by the finance committee of the board
of regents. Though school will be out
this spring probably before they will
all be finished, the summer school stu
dents will enjoy them and the courts
will be In readiness next fall when
school opens again. There has been
an actual need for more tennis courts
here at the University, and there is
no doubt but that they will be used.
Students appreciate what the regents
have done In appropriating money for
making the courts in this war year.
EIGHT WEEK CLUBS
The Eight Week Clubs, conducted
under the direction of the Young Wo
men's Christian Association, give the
University girl at home for the sum
mer vacation a way of doing a bit of
service to others. The clubs may be
organized in any town or community.
Meetings must be held once a week
for eight consecutive weeks. Any
sort of war work activity is permis
sible. The purpose of these clubs is par
ticularly to reach small rural commun
ities which otherwise would not be or
ganized. In past summers University
women have successfully conducted
these clubs. Plans for the work should
be made before school is out this
spring.
BE OF GOOD CHEER
Some people always greet you with
a smile and a cheerful word that
makes the whole day following retain
a little of that rosy tint of happiness
that makes the difference between
Life and mere existence. Others pass
you by with a suffering, sour-faced ex
pression that leaves you nothing but
the shadow of their glooms upon
which to fasten your memory.
In these days when so many plans
are altered by the call to arms, when
so many ties must be stretched to the
land of the bugle and the drum, it is
essential that we all reflect in our
daily lives as much cheer as possible,
in order that the sadness of parting
may not obscure the light of opportun
ity nor dim the Joy of service.
To show the attitude of the boys
themselves on this question we quote
an editorial from a recent copy of The
Marines Magazine:
"Everyone who is fortunate enough
to have home ties will, at times, spend
a good deal of time drawing pictures
of the old manse, the folks around the
fireplace, mother looking up clothes,
or other familiar scenes of home. That
is not a bad thing. It shows there is
a little sentiment, something more
than an animal in the fellow who
thinks of home in this way once in a
while.
"But there Is another way of think
ing of home which is not so good. On
the contrary, it is unwholesome and
bad. We refer to that kind of day
dreaming of home when a fellow sits
on his bunk for hours at a time and
Incessantly moans and whines. He
looks the parat of "Gloomy Gus," the
Joy-killer, melancholy, simpering mam
ma's boy. Are you one of this kind?
Are you going to make life miserable
for your bunkies?
"It's about time you snapped out
of it. Perhaps you have been sick.
Does that give you the right to make
everyone else sick?
"Take the right view of things. Love
yonr home, but don't be homesick. At
least, keep it under your skin. Bright
en up." Minnesota Dally.

COMB'S HEMP FIBERS NOT
FILIPINO LADIES' HAIR
To My Fellow Students:
Undoubtedly the majority of my fol
low students, if not all. who had
passed at the front of Miller & l'alne's
store, located on tho business center
of the city, and saw tho articlo named
or labeled "Filipino Ladles' Comb."
plated in ono of the show windows
facing townjd O street, would really
and verily believe that such la tho
kind and style of Filipino ladies' comb.
It is not, surely and perfectly not. nor
had it been used as such. My Amer
ican brother was indubitably misin
formed, If ho did not do it for selfish
or discriminate motive, as to it's name
and use, and he, therefore, erred in
showing and representing to the peo
ple or public at large that such is as
ho understands it. Of course I would
not censureor blame him. for he Is
totally ignorant of it nnd I am pretty
suro that he got information and
knowledge of it from ono who had the
same condition or possession and un
derstanding as he is now. If my fel
low students and he will permit me to
give the correct name of it and what
it is commonly used for, which I
think they will, I will gladly do so and
briefly describe the same, as follows:
This is commonly called "SUDLAY
HA HABLON," which means comb
for the loom. It is used to comb the
hemp fibers made into cloth by means
of loom. Sometimes when the Fili
pino women are separating or grading
the abaca or pina fibers to be made
into clothes, they pick off or pull out
the different sizes and colors and good
kind of fibers from the bunch, and
this comb is usually or commonly used
as suspender or holder. It is also
used to hold the fish net -when the
Filipinos are making fish net and to
comb the abaca fibers used in uniting
in making fine strings, which are
woven into fishnet, in order that the
fibers can be pulled off or taken out
easily, without disturbing the rest;
and other things that are available for
such purpose.
I have no statement as to the postal
cards, but I only say that those are
still among the seeds premeditatedly
and purposely planned and worked out
by Dean C. Worcester, formerly com
missioner of interior of the Philippine
Islands, to prejudice the interest, lib
erty, and happiness of the Christian
civilized Filipino people, and which
were planted and scattered not only
to the American who were, and still
are. residents in the Islands, but also
to the Americans who were, and still
during his splendid administration as
commissioner of interior, when he
was trying to so hold for longer period
if not for life, his big easy fat job.
I do not entertain any bad and self
ish motive or wrong and ill-feeling
toward my American brother who ex
hibited them, nor to my former com
missioner of interior either, but I do
insist the former by giving a wrong
name or label of such article, which
would tend or result to mislead not
only my fellow students, who had seen
them, but the public as well, and,
therefore, it is my Imperative duty, I.
who know it and am well familiar with
or closely related to the people who
made it, to correct such mistake and
give its proper name and use accord
ingly. In this case my fellow students
and people outside as well, who had
seen it would clearly understand now,
after reading this, what that article or
comb is and not otherwise.
With many thanks to the editor of
The Daily Nebraskan for publishing
this, I am
Your humble fellow student and
servant,

FOR EUROPE'S SAKE
A statement prepared for Mrs. Mc-
Clary by the Attorney General.
Europe, fighting with us, is cold,
hungry, wounded and bleeding. Shall
we, warm, well fed, luxurious and
sound, we .the gratuitous beneficiaries
of all Europe's suffering and sacrifice,
not scant something of our opulent
abundance to give a little to those
who. giviing their all, help make our
welfare and liberties secure?
Our own at the front will soon be
likewise bleeding and sufferiing. Shall
we let ours be cold and hungry?
The greatest part of all we can
really do for our own and for our allies
in this titanic conflict Is giving the ex
cess of what we produce over what we
consume. It is only the wheat we
raise and do not eat, the clothing we
make and do not wear, the metals we
mine and do not use, that we can give
to them and ours. It Is this which
stands possibly between them and
starvation and defeat, and between us
and our peace, security and liberties.
We can increase that which we give,
first, by producing more; second, by
consuming less. No one is so humble
that his own making and his own sav
ing do not affect the result. If YOU
and I each eat a loaf less. Europe and
our have two loaves more. Israel In her
travail In the Wilderness never more
truly suffered In whole for a single
sinner than we as a nation and a peo
ple will suffer now for a single slacker.
It Is YOUR war and MY war. YOU
and I must win It by our saving, our
Industry, our patriotism.

OUR DUTY TO OUR CITIZEN
ARMY
By Hamlin Garland
To me the most amazing social
change which the war has brought
about is the transformation of our
army from a small command of mis
cellaneous volunteers into a gigantic
union of the fighting citizens of the
nation. More than a million meji.
selected from their youth, their cour
age, and their virility are to present
America to Europe in the guise of
warriors,' and in all the pictures
which we have been permitted to see
of them they are so unmistakably
of the New World that only a glance i
is needed to distinguish them from a
group of French or British soldiers,
fine, upstanding though they may be.
Our army is a citizen army. It
is composed of our brothers, our
cousins and our sons. Nothing like
it has been seen in America even
in the days of '61, for at that' time
the volunteer system alone deter

To help him in his hours of recre

that he is properly cared for in the

his burden as light as we can and
he has the right to receive whatso

greatly enobled by their battles as
we should greatly gain by the sac

tho shackles which shall bind the
world. But If such a standard is
wrong, then Germany is wrong nnd
we dare not submit or quit until her
power Is no longer a menace. Let us
have peace, but let it be a pence be

mocracy Is democracy. When Prus

word as a "scrap of paper" it forever
abjured all right to enter into nn
other treaty with selfrespet ting poo
pies. When Prussianism speaks now,
no matter how fair the words, neither
Its friends nor its enemies believe. It
does not even believe Itself. Prussian
speech is a mere means of disguis
ing Its purpose. How can there be a
parley between Unfalth on Its part
nnd Unbelief on ours?
Prusslanism'8 only absolution is
restitution. Its only symbol must be
"Surrender." Either surrender to the
forces of the world which it has out
raged or surrender to its subject peo
ples it has deceived.
The people of Germany can again
rise to the height of credibility in the
world by trampling upon the dead
body of Autocracy. When the people
of Germany cry "Let us have peace,"
we shall listen. As long as her voice

not hear.
