Will the classes in the law college ever get the results of their
elections straight ?
If you who read this article will determine that you can not
afford to miss the debate a week from Friday night and then con
vince some other person that he can not afford to miss the debate, it
seems reasonable that the Temple theatre will not accommodate all
who will want to attend. The question is one absolutely "up to the
minute." Hearing the debate will put you on grounds where you
will be able to discuss the subject with intelligence.
Buy' your tag. Show your Cornhusker spirit. If you have no
tag on your coat your fellow students will be tempted to ask you if
you have no school spirit; don't give them a chance. BUY your
Cornhusker tag SOW. j
The University of Cincinnati underclassmen are among those!
who believe in "bringing in the rear" for they have just had their
annual class scrap. Credit the freshmen. j
Good for the girls, they manage to have something doing about
as often as the fellows do. Their Cornhusker affair will also be
exclusive.
The girls' basketball season opened
Monday and will terminate in a class
tournament sometime In Febraury. It
should be the ambition of every girl
to play on a class team or to assist
in the coaching of one. Come out
early in the season and work up team
plays with your fellow classmen. Tbe
bulletin In Memorial ball gives the
hours available for practice.

Cupid Triumphed In tha End. Desplts
Effort of Father to Separate His
Daughter From the Man
Sne Loved.
Some 30 years ago I sailed with a
brigantlne hailing from a New Eng
land town. Tbe skipper had an eight
eenyear-old daughter, his only child,
on board, his wife being dead.
Tha girl became friendly' with ons
of our ordinary seamen about twenty
ysara old. a clean-cut chap, who al
ready bad bis master s papers. One
night, when the young fellow was at
the wheel, the skipper came on deck
and found bis daughter standing
alongside of him, with ber arm around
his neck. Tbe skipper became angry,
hit the boy. and sent him forward, and
would not alio- him to come aft
rgaln. although the girl told him she
was engaged to the boy.
Now began a trying time for the
boy. One day the young fellow, goad
ed to desperation, defended himself
when the skipper struck him. This
was committing an unpardonable act
The boy was put into irons and
when we arrived at Rio Janeiro, our
destination, the harbor police took
blm to shore. I must state,- to ths
skipper's credit, that ie did not prose
cute the boy. but of course his berth
was taken by another man when we
left Rio.
Five years passed. 1 was still with
the same skipper and so waa bis
daughter, but she was not any more
the laughing, happy girl she was be
fore. We bad loaded pitch pine In Bruns
wick. Ua.. and were again bound tor
Rio. Xearing our destination, we
were caught 1l a storm. The vessol
rolled awfully, the cargo chafed back
and forth and we soon knew that we
bad fire In the bold. We took off tbe
main hatch to try and put out tbe fire,
but as soon as we got it open the flames
burst out. and wa had to take to the
boats.
This happened at night- The ves
sel burned for two hours, when there
was no more left of her. We stood
by ber. thinking tbe flames would
draw some other vessel to our assist
ance. At daylight we saw a "fore and
after" near by. In a short time we
were alongside. The skipper's daugh
ter was the first up the ladder and I
was close after her o prevent ber
from falling backward Into tbe boat.
Tbe skipper of this vee1, a young
fellow, stood at the rail and helped
us to the deck. The girl looked at blm
and be at ber; then tbey fell Into each
other's arms and tbe girl cried from
happiness.
The young skipper wss tbe boy ber
father had treated so shabbily.
Strange to say. the vesrel was bound
for Rio. too. and be arrived there
once more securely bound, but not
with chains this time. The wedding
was celebrated in Rio and tbe bride
went with tier husband cn his vessel.

How Much Radium f
Efforts to determine tbe amount ol
radium in the ocean bave been few.
Prof. 8. J. Lloyd of the University
of Alabama finds that about thirty
samples of sea water bave been test
ed, taken trout tbe Irish and English
coasts, tbe North and South Atlantic,
the Mediterranean, the Black sea. the
Arabian sea. and in his own deter
mination from tbe Gulf of Mexico 200
miles south of Mobile. Discarding ex
treme results, with a maximum M)
times greater than the minimum. It Is
concluded that tbe total radium In
the sea somewhat exceeds 1.400 tons.
As rivers contain little. It Is assumed
that this supply comes from uranium
in tbe sea. which must reach a total of
nearly 4.29O.O90.OOO tons, making ura
nium In sea-water comparable in quan
tity to gold.
Malayan Rubber Industry.
Since 1897 developments In the rub
ber industry In Malay bave been enor
mous. In 1SS7 about 20 acres were
planted to rubber. Year after yeaj
more jungle was cleared and the acre
age increased rapidly. A tremendous
development was felt In 1908. De
mand for rubber tbe world over taxed
the supply and speculators rushed tc
put land under cult I ration. '
