Returned Missionary
Speaks at Vespers
Miss Josephine Walker, returned
missionary from China, spoke at the
regular Y. W. C. A. Vespers service
Tuesday afternoon. She is at home
on furlough and admits that the pros
pect of returning to China has its
thrills for her.
She told some interesting incidents
of her child-hood in China, one in par
ticular where the fidelity of her Chin
ese coolies prevented her from being
kidnapped. She told of a particularly
interesting boat trip through interior
China on the river Ming. The coun
try is beautiful and mountainous and
the two hundred and fifty mile trip
which takes ten days is very delight
ful in pleasant weather, said Miss
Walker. One of the features is the
constant rythmic song of the stand
ing rowers of the little boats. Miss
Walker's talk sounded the key-note
that altogether, a missionary's life
in China has its pleasure and thrills.

PROFESSOR FROM
COPENHAGEN TO
LECTURE HERE
Dr. Jens Warming Will Speak on
"Taxation of Real Estate"
Thursday in Social
Science.
GUEST OF FACULTY CLUB
Chief of Statistical Department
of Danish Government
Connected with the
University.
Dr. Jones Warming, professor of
Economics and Statistics at the Uni
versity of Copenhagen, Denmark, will
speak to students on "Taxation of
Real Estate" Thursday, at eleven
o'clock in the Social Science Audito
rium. He will speak on "Co-operative
Marketing" to the Faculty Dinner
Club at 6:15 in the Grand Hotel.
As one of the most prominent uni
versities in the middlewest, Nebraska
was placed on Dr. Warming's initer
ary, in his tour of the United States,
during which he is making a study
of economic conditions of the country
and of their relation to agriculture.
Dr. Warming has been chief of the
statistical department of the Danish
government since 1904, in addition to
his duties at the University of Copen
hagen. He is a recognized expert on
economic questions. His theoretical
work in politics has been supple
mented by experience. In 1917 he
was elected to the city council of Co
penhagen. The American-Scandinavian Foun
dation is sponsoring Dr. Warming's
visit. Other state universities in the
middlewest where he will speak are
Illinois, Chicago, Wisconsin, Michi
gan and Minnesota.
All men of the faculty and admin
istrative forces of the University are
members of the Faculty Dinner Club,
the chairman of the committee in
charge of the dinner announced, and
the committee will be assisted greatly
if the men who are coming will notify
some member before Thursday noon.
Theta Sigma Phi to
Edit Thursday Issue
of Daily Nebraskan
The Thursday edition of the Daily
Nebraskan will be edited by the mem
bers of Theta Sigma Phi, honorary
and professional fraternity for women
in journalism. All reporting, copy
reading, and choice as to position in
the paper will be done by the mem
bers of the sorority.
Each year the girls have charge of
one issue of the publication. Members
of the society are already actively en
gaged in doing the work of the pub
lications on the campus, and it is in
an endeavor to show their proficiency
and their independence that they take
over the editorial department of the
newspaper.
An Appeal to Nebraska Spirit
To every Nebraska student who has the best interests
of this University at heart, this letter is addressed.
Starting at eight o'clock this morning you are urgently
requested to boost the movement to keep oft" the grass on
the city campus. This means that you yourself are asked
to not "cut corners" but to stay on the sidewalks and also
you are asked to use your influence to prevent others from
violating the spirit or letter of the movement.
With the removal of the iron fence, there is greater
difficulty experienced in keeping the campu lawn as beau
tiful as it should be. Other campuses of great Univer
sities are beautiful because the students want beautiful
campuses. They want it badly enough to refrain from
walking on the grass.
Nebraska has this same spirit, but it is latent It must
be brought to the top. There must be no slackers. To
make the movement successful, every student must co
operate. The Vikings are sponsoring the campaign to create such
a spirit of school pride that no student will aid purposely
or thoughtfully in destroying the beauty of the campus.
Their plan deserves 100 per cent backing. Drastic meas
ures should be instituted if a few students lag behind the
majority.
This week should be termed "Keep Off the Grass" week
if it will bring the proposition more squarely before the
students. The Editor.

campus at large? What do you have
up your sleeve that no one else knows
about ?

Leaves City at Close
of Convention.
TO HOLD EFFICIENCY WEEK
Chairman of State Committee
Presents Report of Work
of Past Year in the
Association.

which will be held throughout the
state the last week in April.
Dr. Mott spoke to five hundred
guests at a dinner at the Lincoln
hotel Monday night. He was intro
duced by General Pershing.
"I have never been so alarmed
about the state of the world as now.
There is suspicion, irritation and fun
damental want of unity. Economical
ly, we are in an impossible position,
and the curfew will ring later for in
nocent generations to come1 who will
have to pay off our debts, the size of
which no one can comprehend. Physi
cal suffering is unparalleled. Poli
tical distempers are rampant. Yet of
all this, it is the moral perils of which
I am the most afraid."
"The Y. M. C. A. has been thrust
into this situation with a unique pur
pose. Any nation would have taken
years to form an organization which
could cope with the problem of recast
ing the world. The Y. M. C A. has
been forming international founda
tions for the last thirty-three years.
We have learned how to get the men
and to train them, and how to get the
money.
"We have the right principles, be
cause they are the principles of Jesus
Christ. We've got the spirit of hope
and faith in this hour of pessimism.
It is for us to get at the hearts of na
tions, their schools, confront men and
boys with the living Christ. We must
concentrate our force where it will do
the most good."
J. Dean Ringer, chairman of the
state committee, presented the report
of the association covering the work
of the past year. A printed copy was
today placed in the hands of every
delegate. C. O. Bruce, chairman of
