Nebraska Professor's Talk Will Cover Work Done In University Prof. C. E. Mickey, chairman of the civil engineering department j of the University of Nebraska, will address the Nebraska Associa-1 tiou for the Consei vation of Water j Resources, at Hastings, today. The talk will be on the progress! of studies and surveys made by I the United States army engineers! in cooperation with the department I of civil engineering and the de partment of conservation and soil survey of the University of Ne braska, the aeronorny department of the Agricultural college, and of the department of irrigation and j drainage of the Mate department of public works.

He will also present a talk on the new legislation which will be required lor the State of Nebraska so the Slate of Nebraska can co operate with the United Stales in adopting a comprehensive plan for the conservation, utilization, and regulation of stream flows. A very extensive plan has been made, it contains provisions for the use of water for irrigation, hydro and steam power, the reduc tion of sill contributions, the build ing up of low water discharges, the aiding navigation in the .Mis souri and Mississippi river, and touching the wild life in the like to hae a few salaries suffi ciently attractive to secure and hold the best ki.own men and women. I should like to have a few worth-while prizes hung up to be striven for." These are the words of the Chancellor.

DR. W. ADOLPH TALKS Chemistry Professor Speaks On People of Orient at Vespers Tuesday. "The Chinese nation is still to awakening stage," H. Adolph of the chemistry at Yes evening at Ellen ing through the stated Prof. W. department of pers Tuesday Smith hall. "It is our obligation and privilege to make contribu tions to this country." he declared. "I was iu Chinese university cir cles for eleven years and during that time I grew to respect and admire the Chinese," Professor Adolph announced. "Foreigners, es pecially Americans, become hum ble when they reach the Orient. Their opinions change about their former habits, customs, and ideas. When an American entertains at dinner, the meat is brought on the table and placed before the host who immediately sharpens his knife and cuts off chunks of meat, placing them on the table before his guests. The Chinese, on the other hand, claim they have been through this barbarious stage and have the meal prepared in the kitchen before placing it in front lof the guests. They lhink ihere is j no need for this display of savag- j ! ery and barbarism. Compass Is Different , "The Chinese speak of the coin- j ! pass as pointing soutli. mimic j scientists state that this is more j nearly correct than the American, idea that the compass points north. White is worn by the Chinese j when they go into mourning as a j symbol of the after life, -j think this is a more beautiful sentiment than the wearing of black," s'ated Professor Adolph. Kitchen Is in Front Chinese restaurants have the kitchen in front and the customers enter heie where I hey may get a whirr of their future dinner. Then they are led thru a courtyard by winding ways to a private alcove. The Chinese do not have the same love of display that the Americans do. The ditch digger and the mil lionaire cannot be told apart by their outward appearance. If the millionaire has a fur coat, he turns the fur inside. The rich man's house may be beautiful with mar ble on the Inside, but on the out side presents an ordinary front. One cannot hejj but admire the Chinese for this lack of display. Education Is Philosophical. "China's education has been largely philosophical," asserted Professor Adolph.' Chinese litera ture and poetry outclasses Ameri can and European, and their poetry Is especially full of beautiful senti ments and deep thoughts. They do not degrade their poetry by trying to make it rhyme, and therefore has a fineness which our poetry does not qual. The Americans vent, thru fifteen vears of revolution rd turmoil, so we should not crit!.e her political troubles. China for W. A. A. Will Sponsor Girls' Hockey Frolic W. A. A. Hockey Frolic will be held tonight immediately after the W. A. A. geueral meet ing.

Consideration Courtesy of The Lincoln Journal. for the past four years has coached Bearg also turned out a champion through the season without a defeat Nebraska Grid Fan Comments On Army Game "The Nebraska Cornhuskers need more night work, and an in troduction into the curriculum of a course whereby members of the team could make a thorough study of night life on the gridiron, would not oe. out oi place. i ins mjui-i mafion was gleaned from an inter-1 view with an ardent football fan I by an oulstate Nebraska paper. The Army's post -daylight touch- j down was described something like this. "Dong after the ducks i had ceased to tly and legitimate shooting have been frowned upon as unsportsmanlike conduct, the Army flipped a long pass that had a laillight and sounded much like a howitzer shell, screaming in the air so the colleagues in contest , would know partially where to, look for the pill which scored the j final touchdown. The time keep- i ers continued the game owing to j their inability to find sufficient j matches to see their Water buries." It would appear from this Inter- ; view tnat Instead of more night , work, the Cornhuskers had better; be equipped after this with miner's . lamps and tail lights and a coating of phosphorescence on the old pig- i skin misfit add to the illumination , of the game.

"Best in Country" Bearg "They are the best in the coun try and I hae enjoyed working with them immensely,'' he staled, "and the student body cannot be beat. It is that part of the Univer sity of Nebraska that has given me the incentive to light hard and play a clean game."
