Co-operative Creameries
Association Put Stamp
On New Idea.
KARL ARNDTJS SPEAKER
An innovation was introduced in
the ranks of the Nebraska Co-operative
Creameries association
Thursday morning at the Corn
husker hotel when the motion was
passed that district conventions be
held in addition to the annual
state conference. Up to the pres
ent time only the one convention
was held.
It is now proposed that the state
be divided into four districts, each
district to then hold its own meet
ing with the idea that sectional
problems may be discussed. Ac
cording to Fred Coe, president ot
the association, district conven
tions will conflict in no way with
the annual convention, the former
meetings to be named and set by
the board of directors. The next
state convention will be held here
at the same time next year.
Arthur Marquardt of Ewingand
Carl Horn of Hay Springs were
elected to succeed themselves as
members of the board. Those hold

A class letter written by William A. Crossland, permanent
secretary oL the class of 19JJ0 of the Nebraska law college, re
veals that the members of that class have accomplished phe
nomenal success in their profession. Out of the forty-eight grad

1930 have appeared as counsels
in 20 decided cases In the supremo
court of Nebraska in a period
of sixteen months, from Oct. 1,
1930 to Feb. 3 ,1932. These twenty

DR. FLING GIVES ADDRESS
Oriental Situation Discussed
Wednesday Night at
Church Meeting.
Disorder in China is what makes
possible all the trouble between
China and Japan, said Dr. Fred M.
Fling in an address before the In
stitute on Manchuria at First Ply
mouth Congregational church
Wednesday night. Dr. Fling's ad
dress was the last of a series on
the Sino-Japanese controversy.
China's inability to form an ef
ficient and stable government and
to provide the proper military fa
cilities is at the seat of the whole
mater, in the speaker's opinion.
According to him, it isn't that
Japan is so strong, but that China
is so weak.
Dr. Fling thinks there is nothing
to fear from Russia. He does not
think Russia will intervene.

brother, Cassim, also learns of the
treasure plots to remove it, but
his efforts are discovered by the
thieves who punish him by killing

COED SMOKING HABIT
BY L
National Y. W. C. A. Officer
Says Custom Is Growth
Of Nervousness.
HANDS MUST BE FILLED
Girls smoke in many cases be
cause it gives them something to
do with their hands, Miss Oolooah
Burner, national service secretary
of the Y. XV. C. A., told Omaha
members of the organization Wed
nesday, the World Herald reports.
An explanation of why girls
smoke cigarets and go to movies
was part of a "background think
ing" talk given by Miss Burner to
members of the board directors
and staff leaders who are prepar
ing to recast the Omaha Y. W.
program more fully to meet the
need of modern girls.
"Smoking by girls may be a
sympton that some psychological
need is not being satisfied," Miss
Burner said. "Parents or the com
munity may be curbing or block
ing some activity essential to the
richer development of a girl's char
acter. She may smoke, not neces
sarily because she enjoys smoking,
but to flaunt her independence of
these prohibitions.
Continuing the analysis, Miss
Burner related that one girl con
fessed: "Until I started smoking
I never knew what to do with my
hands and feet."
With a cigaret to puff, this girl
forgot about the. embarrassing
members, said Miss Burner.
Similarly, girls go to movies not
alone to escape the drudgery and
monotony of life but also for ro
mance, she added. "There in an
easy chair they may share the
heroine's thrills and ecstacies but
not the dangers.
