Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln, Nebraska, a. second
class mail matter, under the act of Congress f March 3, 1879.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1915
But a very short time after this issue of the Daily Nebraskan
is distributed many of you will start for your homes in which it
may well be expected you will enjoy a real Christmas. May we
have the privilege of wishing both students and faculty a very
Merry Christmas and a most prosperous New Year.
When it comes to efficiency the Senior Class must be given
credit for having disposed of an hour's work in a ten minute
meeting.
To offset inquiries it may be well to state that this is the last
issue of the Nebraskan previous to the holidays. The first issue
after the vacation period will be on Tuesday morning, January
fourth.

of the American soldier. He told of a
case where a private was tried and
disciplined for entering and remaining
in a saloon where an officer was. Such
a spirit, he said, was a nearer and
more dangerous enemy than any for

TYPHOID SOURCE DISCOVERED
All Traces of Disease to Be Gone
When Students Return No
New Cases Reported
Occasionally such actions as portrayed in the following article,
iound in the columns of this paper are brought to light in this
institution: "The person who took an overcoat from the Temple
Saturday night must return same by Wednesday noon to the hook
from which it was taken or to the address found on papers in 1he
inside pocket to avoid trouble. He was seen from the inside of the
cafeteria and bis name and address are known. 142-62-63"
Just to aid in the abolition of such petty thieving the Nebraskan
will volunteer to publish the name of the miscreant if the coat has
not been returned to the owner by the time we again go to press.
USE FOR ENGINEERS FOUND
Problem Solved at Last Engineering
Students See Good Jobs
Ahead of Them
A partial solution of the question,
"Why is an Engineer?" was found re
cently in a speech by Senator Works
of California, speaking in the United
States senate.
The senator advocated an army
educated in engineering and hardened
to the rigors of campaigning through
the reclamation of desert lands, the
reforestation of large western tracts
and the protecting of the Mississippi
valley from floods.
He said such an army would do
away with two great evils; first, the
unpreparedness of the country, and,

gecond, the danger in the present pre
paredness plans of creating "a mili
tary caste." Also, he 6aid, the sol
diers recruited would he doing usful
work instead of becoming idlers.
"Let the men in this army gain
physical confidence by exercise," said
Works, addressing the senate. "Let
them gain the conquering spirit by
conquering the great forces in nature.
Give them some military drill.
"Such an army would open up vast
tracts and help to empty the slums of
our cities. It would be a better force
to defend us than 150,000 paid idlers."
Works said that $50,000,000 a year
could be spent by the government so
advantageously on this army that real
ly "it would cost nothing." He would
pay the men with tracts from the
public lands which they improved.
"Because the greater part of the re
clamation work of the country natur
ally falls in the western states and be
cause the greatest danger of invasion
is from the Japanese who have more
veteran soldiers on the Pacific coast
than there are in our standing army,
the force would do most of its work
in the west. But where work is need
ed in the east, the army should be em
ployed there. I have no sectional
plans."
The senator's address contained an
attack on the Vera Cruz expedition of
last year as hasty and unwaranted
and a denunciation of the "thralldom'

FLOWERS ALL THE TIME
The hope that when the students
return to their work after the - holi
days all traces of typhoid fever on er
near the campus will have disappear
ed is freely expressed by the outgoing
students. Today's favorable report
from the health officers give reason
to think that the hope is not In vain.
The source of typhoid contagion has
been definitely located by the health
department by the discovery of a
"walking typhoid" case in a factory
where potato chips and other foodstuffs
have been manufactured. Fifteen of
the twenty-two families where typhoid
was reported had been eating potato
chips about two weeks prior to the
onset of the disease.
Health Superintendent Chapman
said that investigation showed that
one man who worked in this factory
had been sick and that during part of
that time he had handled goods that
were being prepared for sale.
The case Is at 2726 F 6treet and ac
cording to the report card prepared
by the health department, the pa
tient's name at that address is J. C.
Berke. The illness dates from Novem
ber 1, and is termed walking typhoid
fever. Specimens of blood examined
by State Baceriologist Wild and City
Physician Reynolds showed typhoid.
P. C. Chapin, R. F. Cameron, H. C.
Edwards and Irving Baker, seniors In
Mechanical Engineerin, will spend the
Christmas vacation In special investi
gation of the different power plants of
Lincoln.
