A stirring challenge was given to
Nebraska women by Miss Uruce Cop
pock at a mass meeting on Wednes
day night, when she appealed to the
university women of America to sup
port the Y. V. C A. work In China.
U Is upon thei.i that the future of this
work depends. Chinese women are
looking to America for leadership In
service; when Miss Coppock returns
to China, her girls will ask her, "Are
tho American women Interested? Do
thoy care?" l)o we cure enough about
tho opportunities other people have
won for us. to bo willing to pass them
on to those who do not have them?
"There are two main reasons why
tho association Is called to do such a
big work In China," she explained.
"The first is the spirit of the associa
tion, which is the spirit ot service and
of democracy the two things that
are needful for the regeneration of
China. The Y. W. C. A. does not de
sire to exalt Itself, but only to help
the Chinese woman to help her neigh
bor. The second reason Is the four
fold program of the organization
fourfold to suit the varied needs Of a
great Chinese city.
"The first division of association
work is the educational division. This
'ncludes classes in cooking, In house'
hold management. In English, In phy
Ucal education. It reaches women ot
"tried classes. The second branch,
the extension Bible classes, is de

message of character and service;

Manv of the traditions will be mere
vividly presented this year than ever
jefore. It has been the custom dur
ing previous years to represent these
events with mere stories, but tma year
a new plan is being carried out. Dur-
,ng the affairs carrying out the tradi
tions of the school, pictures were
taken which will more vividly bring
forth the spirit of the occasions than
even a writer could do.

Some have suggested that the reason
for the many fires 1. a desire to ap

The first fire was scheduled at a
more opportune time than the late
two, for it occurred about noon wnen
most of the damsel, were supposed
to be prepared to meet such emer
gencies. But the second event was
not quite so opportune for it came at
the early hour of nine o'clock on
Tuesday morning when many of those
fortunate ones who disdain the eight
o'clock classes were tucked snugly in
their beds. The roof which had been
covered with tar paper after the second
fire was In prime condition for the de
fective flue to heap its sparks, and as
this was the place the fire was first
discovered, it is quite evident that the
cause was not that some careless
riFfli-ette smoker had careiessiy
hrown a stub away. The fire depart
ment arrived in time to keep the fire
from spreading throughout the house
although one entire room was com
nletely burned before the hook and
'adder experts were able to reach the
house.
One passerby was of the opinion
that the girls must have been In fire-

girls turned out the light, for a good
night's rest after the excitement of
the day, perhaps to dream of fires and
firemen carrying out their most tress
tired possessions. It would seem per
fectly natural that the odor of burn
ing wood would blend Into their
dreams, for at seven o'clock the next
morning the fire broke out again. In
