India Given in Lecture at
Social Science Hall.
"The pooplo of India watr more
money to push education and that is
out' of ''' reasons why they want in
dependence and control of 1 i.i; nces,
was one of the points brought out by
Professor S. L. Joahi of the College of
Haroda, University of Bombay. India,
In an address to the students and fao
ulty of the University of Nebraska on
the subject "Present Problems in In
dia." The Social Science Auditorium
was taxed to capacity Friday night
when Professor Josh! delivered h;i
message.
The speaker sumniarizod the iea
gons for the unrest of India as a de
sire for education of the peonies, dis
satisfaction with being the only nu in-
hers of the entiro family of ti.'cat
lhitain not deemed capable of self

Turkey in. act after the war, nr.-: the
i.i'sirrntment of the Indians AUica
by the Kenlisli colonists.
Professor Joshi was introduced b
Duin Buck, of the College of Arts and
Sciences. Spending little time r.i for
mal introduction to his topic, the
speaker from India went deepiy into
the problems of his native country.
Frequent inferences to the British
Empire were made by Professor JosM
throughout his talk and he handled
the subject freely with a person.'.! at
titude of friendliness to the Great
Empire. The text of his message con
veyed tlie impression that Professor
Josh i favors the development of local
government by the people of India
rather than complete independence.
Kegiiining witli the lnovoutonl to
ward Hudahlsm which Professor Joshi
terms as a movement against ignor
ant . the lecture developed the
phases of Indian history up to tl:e
present day. "There were two Impor
ti' nt messages of Buddahism," said
the speaker. These, be pointed out,
told the Indian people that the only
w; y to gain happiness was to detach
th. tnsolves from earthly thin, 3 ar.d
attain the good by self sacrifice- The
other message was the fundamental
equality of all men.

K. Shedd Talks Before A. A.
A. E. Thursday Eve
ning. "A big future awaits the tractor,"
declared Mr. Shedd of the Hussong
Motor Company before the A. A. A. K.
Thursday evening. He pointed out
the, advantages of the tractor over
l.oises. "The tractor manufacturer
and the horse breeder do not agre?
as to what kind of power will pre
dominate on the farm in the future.
Four horses and a' tractor can easily
do the work on a 160 acre farm. The
cost lof operatiqn of the avrtrag,
which covers only about 20 days per
year, is less than the cost of the feed
consumed during the year by the
horses required to do the same amount
of work."
Mr. Shedd discussed the tractor
from the standpoint of the manufac
turer, the dealer, and the owner. He
r.dvised that it was more practical and
economical to repair a used tractor
than to trade it in on a new one.
He made several interesting stale
ments concerning th ; Fordson factory
which are as follows:
The Ford Company produces its own
steel.
They rank very highly in their knew
ledge and use of alloy steeL
The factory has three large blast
furnaces worth $3,000000 each.

on, editor of the womens' page on the

ary members, with the other members
who have been taken in tlie organiza
tion this year.
Mrs. Aldrich told of her own ex
perience in the writing field and of
her "maiden effort" a prize story for
a unicago newspaper. iur wuu.u one
received a kodak, at the age of foiu
teen. To the person who really wants
to write, Mrs. Aldrich acknowledges
no obstacles, and as for herse'.f, she
contracts all her stories mentally
while doing her house work, and never
writes thorn until finished in her mind.
To the writer just starting out she
advised perseverance as one of the
greatest qualities.
Mrs. Aldrich lives in a small town
and asserts it no disadvantage to the

by British and Danish Magazines.
Mrs. Myrtle Keegan Mason told of
her experiences in the newspaper
work. The make-up of the womens
page and the society news fall under
her supervision. Mrs. Mason said any
experience a person ever had would
help build up a reserve, from which
he could draw when in the newspaper
field. In her line of work the reporter
must make herself the friend and con
fidant of the people on her round from
whom she depends for news. Mrs.
Mason thinks newspaper work good

OIHAJUTO SHOW
Agricultural Engineers Go To
Meeting in Metropolis Tues
day Morning.
Last Tuesday morning, fifty men
from the various Agricultural Engin
eering classes went to Omaha to at
tend the auto show. The morning was
spent at the Ford Asembly plant. Cars
are shipped to this plant, knocked
down and assembled there to save
freight. The process or assembling
is so systematized that it is possible
to assemble a Ford car in three min
utes. The plant averages fifty-eight
cars in three hours and twenty min
utes. About four days are required
to construct and enamel the bodies.
The remainder of the day was spenl
at the auto show which was held ir.
the City Auditorium. About thirty
five different makes of cars were
shown on the main floor and stage.
The basement was occupied by the
trucks, and the balcony was given
over to accessories, niacn mane oi
car was represented by two or more
different models. An interesting feat
ure was the several cut-away models
which showed all the internal work
ing parts.
It was very evident how salesmen
who knew their car in detail made a
more lasting impression on the visit
ors than those who did not.
The students collected information
which the department hopes to tabu
late and hand back to them. The?e
details will make the very latest in
formation available along this line at
the present time.
