THE DAILY XEBRASKAN BBS. BABKLEY TELLS OF SUFFRAGE CONVENTION SALES CAMPAIGN OFF WITH BOOf. Cecal Leader De.cribe. International Convention at Veapera Tweaday. Mrs. W. E. Barkley. who was one of the fight United States dele-pates to the convention at the International Woman Suffrage Alliance' held at Geneva, Switterland, last summer, told of the convention, at Vespers Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Barkley is president of the Nebraska N Woman , Suffrage Association and was the first dean of women at the University of Nebraska. The discussion and action on the economic conditions of women was the work of the convention in which the United States delegates were most interested. This is a phase of woman welfare to which the International Woman Suffrage Alliance had never before given much attention. Now 1hat the suffrage demands have been granted extensively the delepates turned to the economic prcblem. The women from the United States wante.i 'equal pay for equal work for men and women, and they also worked for aetion of the convention in favor of special protection to women in in dustries. All other countries with the exception of Holland disapproved special protection. The vote was in favor of absolute economic quality between men and women. English the Official Language. As an American woman, Mrs. Harry Chatham Catt, was president of "the alliance, the official language of the convention .was English. The use of other languages, however, was per mitted. Only three or four were used much, and at least one woman from almost every delegation could "speak, read and think English well." Mrs. Barkley said that a woman from Bombay, India, was by far the best speaker at the convention. The meetings were held in the Communale. The evening meetings were open and the people of Geneva attended in throngs. The delegates wore their native costumes in the evenings. The women from one part j of India wore their native clothing all the time. , At the close of the convention Mrs. Barkley made a tour of France. She said that two-thirds of the country devastated by the war has been re stored. She told the girls that, if they wanted to give a Christmas present that would be of real service, a good way to do this would be to send a food draft to the children of stores have not been canya some country that has been at war. These food drafts can be obtained at any bank for any amount and sent to the food administrators established by Hoover in the various countries that took part in the war. France has sent word to the United States that she is now able to take care of her (Continued from Page 1.) Leather Skin Offered. In addition to the list of prizes already announced lor the sales cam paign, the management decided Tues day evening to award the organiza lion having the largest number of subscriptions in by Thursday evening at 6 o'clock, a leather skin bearing the coat-otarms or monogram on it. The best skin obtainable will be awarded. The announcement of the winner of this special contest will be made Friday morning. All reports that are given today are of course not complete and not ac curate. It is entirely probable that there are several 100 per cent organ!' zations lhat were unable to report the fact to the Cornhusker business manager before the office was closed Then, too, it is expected that number of organizations hacv a large number of subscriptions to the book that have not been turned in. Weather is Hindrance. The poor weather Tuesday almost prohibited solicitation on the campus but it is expected that by ihe end of the week even' student will be canvassed several times unless he has subscribed. Every person who has subscribed to the book should be sure to get a tag from the solicitor who sells him a subscription in order that he will be identified with the loyal Nebraskans who are backing the big school annual. Business houses, street corners and nearly every other place where there are any backers of Nebraska University-Activities was canvassed by the workers Tuesday. There are, how ever, many places that have not been canvassed. Organizations that are working the hardest in the campaign are thinking not so much of the cash prizes that they will be awarded for their -success as for the school spirit that they show by their efforts. It is up to every student, alumnus, faculty mem ber and every other loyal Nebraskan to subscribe for the 1921 Corahuskei and mpke it a success. To Canvass Alumni. Several sororities and literary so cieties have expressed their intentions of canvassing their alumni for sub scriptions. This is neld that will be very fruitful ""umni are anxious to get U.

Frand sen of tbe Dairy Husbandry Depart ment was accepted, to take effect December 1. Dr. George E. Howard, professor of Political Science, was granted a leave of absence for the years 1921-22.

Jebrpska won Ihe meet and men made their lelters. - of the fact that Captain ' ra was not permitted to t i '., because of physical i Ii . t.Ss means that six men e t luntry squad have made let ince the taking up of sport, and the expectations for a winning team next year are good, be cause four of these men will be able to participate another year. A number of tryouts and one handi cap race have been run this fall which have developed the fact that there is some good Freshman ma terial which will improve the team materially next year. Through 'the influence of Coach McMaster, a cross-country race was put on Thanksgiving day by the local Y. M. C. A. in which a number of the University men were entered. There is no reason why Nebraska cannot have a team that will excel in the Missouri Valley. There are enough men in Nebraska, who. if they would come out, would make the team a winner. Many of these men will not participate in any form of athletics whatsoever. They owe it to themselves and to Nebraska to come out and assist in developing a team that will be a winner for the school, as well as being of great physical benefit to themselves. (Signed) J. LLOYD McMASTER, Coach, Cross-Country Team.
