"An old cat will not learn dancine," "Like desire like," and "One coin in the money-box makes the more noise than when it is full." are proverbs unfamiliar to us. but we are all acquainted with their more modern forms, "You can't tench an old dog new tricks," "Hird.s of a feather flock together," and "An empty wagon makes the most noise." "Proverbs are rice in social wis-o dom, and reflect competently and concisely the social traditions, at titudes, and philosophies of the people using and perpetuating them." is the opinion of Professor J. O. Hertzler, chairman of the de partment of sociology, who has made an extensive study of these "little pellets ot practical wisdom."

Dr. Pauck made his first appear ance before a Lincoln audience last night when he addressed the Y. M. Fireside Forum in the Temple. His lecture dealt with the questions, what is the meaning of religion, and more specifically, what does it mean to be a Christian? In con clusion he summed up his remarks with the statement, "I believe that ultimately, each man faces the necessity of finding his answer to the question, why he lives? And that answer can only be given in religious devotion." Two weeks ago Dr. Pauck spoke to a faculty group at Pittsburgh. A short letter from the Pitts burgh university Y. M. C. A. exec utive secretary reads, "Dr. Pauck did us a great job in his quiet but effective way. He led one of the best retreats we have ever had. We had about 60 faculty men to hear him and the response was splendid. He made a case with them as well as with students. I can unquali fiedly endorse him for meetings such as we had." Signed, W. W. Mendenhall. Faculty members who have not made reservations may still do so this morning by phoning the Grand hotel. ALL-BARB PARTY SET E( Melody Makers Secured for Dance; 100 Couples Expected.

With less than a week before the fall general elections, campus po litical organizations are exercising every effort to encourage students of legal age to go to the polls next Tuesday, Nov. 6. Students who have failed to register for the elections may still exercise their franchise, if a quick action is taken, it was pointed out. According to the law, persons whose residence is in other sec tions of the state than in Lincoln may vote by mail, or, with special arrangements may register where their cities are of 7,000 or more population. To vote by mail, students of legal voting age should write to the county clerk of their home county, asking him to mail a bal lot. Ballots used under these cir cumstances must be returned to the county clerk on or before Sat urday evening, Nov. 3, properly notarized and sealed. For a limited number of students the county clerk of Lancaster county will be able to save this trouble. He will supply non-resident mail ballots, which are to be mailed to the county clerk of the home county on Saturday of this week. His supply, however, is not large enough to take care of all students who expect to vote by mail. Altho registration in all cities of 7,000 or over should have been completed last Saturday, it was pointed out that a sworn affidavit, signed by two freeholders, stating reasons why registration was not completed, and presented to the clerk of the home county, will per mit students to vote in their home cities.
