FILMS TONIGHT
'For All Our Sakes' Pictures
Disolayed in Temple
At 7:30 O'clock.
Syphilis the dread disease that
afflicts one out of every ten Amer
icans, until only recently tabooed
from pol.te conversations and
barred as a subject for public dis
cussions, will be aired under the
white lights of science in the Tem
ple theater tonight, when the film
"For All Our Sakes'' is shown to
men of the campus. The meeting,
which begins at 7:30 o'clock, takes
the place of the regularly sched
uled Y. M. C. A. meeting for the
week.
"For All Our Sakes" is part of
a national educational campaign
sponsored by the U. S. public
health service, and the American
social hygiene association, which
amis to focus public attention on
the disease in order to combat it
more effectively. The picture is not
a movie but a sound film consist
ing of 170 still pictures synchro
nized w ith the voices of profes
sional actors who Rive scientific
facts about the disease. It is shown
in Lincoln under the auspices of
the Lincoln City health service and
the University" Y. M. C. A.
Hold Discussion Period,
- T. F. M. Arnholt, Lincoln
health superintendent, will present
the pictures and afterwards will
hold a discussion period. Various
aspects of the disease will be dis
cussed such as where it is con
tracted, how many cases there are
in existence, and the methods
which are used in curing it. The
advisability of having the Wasser
man test as a compulsory part of
physical examinations will also be
discussed.
Brought here last year, the film
is being repeated for the benefit
of freshmen and others who had
no opportunity to attend. It was
decided to use the Temple for the
showing of the picture tonight,
since over 400 men attended the
meeting held in Social Science au
ditorium last year. All university
men are invited.

When asked about the compara- i
live number of University htudents
already infected, Dr. Lyman re
plied. "There has been conducted in
the University of Minnesota such a
survey, the results of which were
most gratifying. They showed that
less than one-fifth of one percent '
of the student body was infected.
You must remember that we
have medical propaganda, just like
we have business propaganda. We
say 'See your doctor every so
often.' Well, the average man can
tell if he is well. Just like my car
when something goes wrong
with it, I take it in' to have it
fixed, but if I took that car in to
be looked over as often as the
Ford people think I should, I
couldn't afford to own it.
"In this matter of- student
health, we try to maintain an at
titude of common sense. All that
wp ask is the hearty co-operation
of the student body."
Symptoms Take Any Form.
Raising a very real objection
to yesterday's editoii.il, which
asked. "Do you know the symp
toms?'' Dr. Schick qui-ned. "How
can a student be expected to know
the symptoms of a disease that
may take the form of anything
from falling hair to insanity?'
Going on, she stated that
'the '
most important teature in this
campaign against svphilis is to rnKn ' ,ll-'"v,ls "n a.mress. from
prevent it, to stop it before the !?r cck. N. Y. Durant curries

The treatment is costlv r,r,,l n.nn-i

"Since the general abolishing of
tha common drinking nip." she
continued, "it is very rarely that
the disease is contracted inno
cently." No Potltlve Reaction! to Tetts.
"The Waterman test? Of all
the Wassermans we've ever taken
here, I don't believe thrtt there has
been a single positive reaction.
The test is difficult to run, re
quires special technique and equip
ment, and is valueless in the hands
cf anyone but an expert.
"What we seek is the co-operation
of the students. The disease

France Strikes at Piracy.
France takes definite steps to
wipe out piracy in the Mediterra

Balearic islands to protect French
merchant vessels. Report is that a
full squadron of destroyers will
follow. Fleet units are ordered to
fire on any war craft found mo
lesting French shipping. Usually
hesitant about taking direct action
without British backing, France is
taking matters In her own hands
and any attack on her Mediterra
nean communication will find re
taliation immediate and unmerci

Governor Cochran is in Washing

and WPA officials. Detailed infor

sented by W. H. Brokaw, director
of agricultural extension, and R. J.
Metcalfe, state chairman of the
national emergency council.

The rather astounding peace
proposal of the C. I. O. finds con

the session is adjourned until re

forthcoming from A. F. of L. dele

Grouping of all existing C. I. O.
unions into a new department in
the A. F. of L and the right to or
ganize mass production workers
on an industrial union basis. Fed

alternatives of granting to the re

Maneuvers in Pacific
Waters Today.
"I must go down to the seas again,
to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's
way, where the wind's like a
whetted knife."
The call ot the sea, imperious,
fascinating, echoed alike In poet's
lay and sailor's chantey, beckons
Irresitibly to youths of the prai
rie, and they "go down the seas
again," sail out beyond the horizon
to see what may be found on the
other aide.
Navy Day, observed today thru
out the nation, brings to mind Ne
braska men who have followed the
call of the sea, who are with a por
tion of the fleet In turbulent Asi
atic waters, where the air is rent
dally with the screams of bursting
shrapnel, and planes drop their
death dealing bombs upon crowded

Macon Crash Rescuer.
The crash of the Macon, U. S.
navy dirigible, in 1935, is recalled
by Leonard G. Johnston, Lincoln,
as one of the high spots of his
four years' service on board the
U. S. S. Northampton. Leonard re
ceived his honorable discharge In
July and is now enrolled in the
university civil engineering college.
During his service on the Nort
hampton he received the rating of
radio man, third class.
. At tho time the Macon crashed
off Point Sur. about 150 miles
south of San Francisco, the North
ampton was the first ship to pick
up the distress signal and the
first to the scene of the wreck.
Johnston was in one of the motor
boats which helped to rescue the
93 survivors. One radio man and
one mess attendant were killed.
The home port of the Northamp
ton has since 1934 been at Long
Beach, Calif. During his four years
service on board, Johnston has
traveled mainly between Long
Beach and Hawaii, but other voy
ages have been made to Alaska,
the island of Midway, Wake Island,
and the Aleutian islands, and be
tween the California port and New
York City via the Panama canal,
with stops at Norfolk and the
Island of Cuba.

ROOF IS REPAIRED
BUT STILL IN BAD SHAPE
An inspection of the room in
which over a 100 valuable periodi
cals were soaked by the spring
rains indicated that the roof had
been repaired sufficiently to keep
out moderate precipitations. The
slate roof of the building is too
old to be satisfactorily repaired.
Miller predicted gloomily that
tho slate would give away in the
near future or another dead
pigeon would get in the drain and
the damage from the elements
would bo repeated.
The tinder box attic which sur
mounts the whole building use
less space because the library sup
ports will permit no more weight
still makes it Impossible to ob
tain fire insurance on the struc
ture which houses upwards ol
300,000 volumes.
Asked if he thought his book
house would syrvlve tho winter,
Miller replied with two somewhat
facetious stories: "Well, if the
building does come crashing down,
the winter on tho campus will bo
mild. We have enough heat trap,
ped In the attic and beneath those
high ceilings on the first floor to
keep us warm for a millennium."
His second account pertained to
an incident of last summer. He
was looking out the window one
afternoon and noticed that the
bricks in the window sill were not
in line. He remarked casually to
his secretary, "I guess the build
ing must be falling down."
He said that after racing out

good deal of argument to pet-

NO ONE BIG ENOUGH TO
KICK AMERICA INTO
WAR-COL. OURY
(Continued from Tage 1.)
.Navy Day, but Instead he en
larged his remarks to include the
broader field of national defense. '
"Because," as he said, "it isn't good
taste for an army officer to talk
about the navv. It's one of those
things that just isn't done."
I'nder pressure, he consented to
talk about the navy a little bit.
"America is pretty well able to
take care of herself In any possible
emergency," he opined. "The navy
as it now stands is about as well
equipped as any In the world, and
is quite adequate for the protec
tion of the country. Altho its ef
fectiveness is somewhat weakened,-
since it is divided between the two
coasts, there seems little need for
larger naval appropriations fer
more battleships." '
Can't Reduce Navy Size.
The Colonel didn't think that tike
Navy could be very well reducedl
in size, since we have to have a suf-
fielcnt force to defend outlying ter-
ritoiial possessions.
Since he had two nephews wh)
served in the navy during the war,
and another who is now a major
in the marine corps, the colonel Is
in direct contact with all three
branches of the armed forces.
rsavai discipline is much less strict
than that of the army, Colonel
Oury believes. This laxer discipline
is true not only of thearh,
is true not only of the ranks, but
also of the Annapolis and West
Point academies.
Navy Trains Men Well.
According to Colonel Oury. the
Navy is one of the best schools in
the world. "Men who enlist get ex
cellent training, especially In me
chanics, and they are usually very
much in demand when they leave
the service.
Dt-spite all the war-scare propa
ganda that is being circulated, Col
onel Oury doesn't think there is
the faintest possibility that
America might send troops into
the Sino-Japanese embroglio. Nor
does he think it possible that this
country could ever become fascist
like Germany and Italy.
Americans Too Independent-
"You can't militarize this coun
try," Oury said. "Americans hi"
too independent." As evidence the
'c!oncl produced a letter he had
just received from one of the men
who had served under him for two
:,c..i in France. Throughout the
n;.;.- letter, the veteran addressed
" lommandant, not as "Colonel,"
but as "Mister" Oury.
"A ten-year old French girl
could immediately give the rank of
any officer she saw," Colonel Oury
said, "while most Americans know
nothing whatever about the insig
nia." "I've been called everything
from an admiral to a corporal," he.
concluded.
