Of Woman Againrt Evils
But Good Judgment Must
Be Used
Edna Wallace Hopper, sixty-three
year old flapper, Is strong for the
younger generation. But she de
plores the conditions that exist In
regard to girls smoking.
Interviewed In her dressing room
between performances Miss Hop
per gave her opinions on the prob
lems of modern youth. She laughed,
smiled, and conducted herself like
the girl of nineteen which she re
sembles. "I think your university campus
Is lovely," remarked the beauty au
thority. "I drove around Sunday,
and I think the buildings compare
very favorably with those of other
universities and colleges that I
have, seen."
Smoking Detracts Charm
Then she settled down to the
task of giving her opinions of the
girls who smoke.
"Aside from the moral standpoint
which I do not preach, and aside
from the health standpoint, which
I do preach, I think that women
should give up smoking because it
detracts from the charm, beauty,
and personality," declared Miss
Hopper.
"Holding a cigarette in her mouth
ruins any woman's expression,"
she continued. "If for no other rea
son than that they should give it
up. They should be just too vain to
risk any part of their beauty. A
woman needs every bit she has
and If she doesn't need more she's
lucky."
If women were not allowed to
smoke In puhllc they would stop,
In the opinion of the well-known
beauty. They do It to show off la

comes a habit.
"It's a pity that women have to

argued. "Pretty soon there will be

Blood and Thunder Feature in March
Issue of Awgwan Curdles the Blood
Headway Is -icing Made for
Vivid Portrayal of the
Wild West Theme in the
Coming Issue
Wild West Whoople will be the
theme around which contributors
for the March publication of the
Awgwan- will tend their efforts.
Indians, cowboys, Kappa Slgs, and
cactus might furnish food for
thought on this next Issue. There
will be plenty of pictures of wild
bronchos, mustangs, cow-hands and
sage brush for those who cannot
read, all of which will serve to
make the issue picturesque.
There are bound to be some
stories which will lake the modern
reader back to the days when the
man's man readied lor his shoot
ln' irons instead of his coat. While
the The! a XIs are explaining some
of the fast ones In the Mystery
number to their new pledges, men
are dying with their boots on In
the capacious imaginations of the
editorial staff.
Scalps Were Unsafe Then.
Anyone desiring real, fasi.-luatiui
and vivid description of (hat era in
American life, when a scalp under
a five-gallon crusher was wor'h two !
hanging on the wall of some red-'
skin's tepee, can hardly wax un-1
enthusiastically over this issue.
Weird will be the tales that were
told around a flickering campflre or
over a grog in some saloon, and
the Awgwan will have them worked
Into the vernacular that is ex
pected and best understood by the
undergraduate element.
The real problem for some young
scribe to solve will be that of
"women." For what did women
do in those days? The way most
books have it, their names were for
he most part Nell or Bessie and
they rode In a bumpy old covered
wagon all day, or else loaded rifles
beside the loophole In some log
cabin, while her better half run the
powder supply low picking off the
besieging varmints. On the whole,
it was a tame life for the t'emmes,
with no rush weeks or girl's inter
murals.
All things points towards this
being a regular root, toot, shootin'
affair so get out the chaps and
sombreros for a literary excursion
Into the romance and adventure of
the early west as the wiseacres of
Nebraska humor and wit see it.
BILL FAILS 10 PASS
Measure Would Combine All
Public Institutions With
Single Management.
OPPOSITION IS STRONG
The bill before the legislature to
abolish the University Board of
Regents failed to find favor in the
committee to which it was as
signed. The committee on constitu
tional amendments reported the
bill, H. R. 178, for indefinite post
ponement. This measure, sponsored by the
committee on education, would set
up a state board of education to do
the work of the normal board and
the regents. By making the state
superintendent exofflclo member
and secretary, it would combine all
public educational Institutions un
der one management. The board
would consist of seven members,
six to be elected, one from each
congressional district.
University officials, the Board
of Regents, and the state normal
board were, almost unanimous in
opposing the bill.
