EXTENSION OF TIME University Investigating Com mittee Will Work Until March 20 Looking into Affairs. The house committee that is in vestigating university affairs report ed Tuesday morning that another month Is necessary to finish the work upon which it is engaged, and further time until March 20 was granted. The committee says that it is nee essary to take up one department at a time, and that each time it gets some new lead that necessitated in vestigation elsewhere. The partial re port made assures the house that the results so far are of vital importance both to the university and the people. The people set out these facts: "Your committee has proceeded to investigate the University of Ne braska entirely in the spirit of tho resolution adopted by this body. "You will readily appreciate tho impossibility of your committee inves tigating all departments at one, and that your committee must proceed in this investigation by department separately. "On the invitation of the head ot the department of soil survey and con servatlon of resources of the univer sity, your committee with the assist ance of an expert accountant pro ceeded to investigate this department in the matter of expenditures. This one department maintains seven state automobiles at the present time. As these expenditures were being in vestigated suggestions came irom some unknown source to your com mittee that their investigation be di rected into the record of the blue sky department to ascertain the policies of the department of soil survey and conservation relative to various com mercial stock selling activities. Thc department of Boil survey and con servation appears to be overlook.' by law to the bureau of securities. Your committee has carried theli investigation into the bureau of se curities. The disclosures made in this direction were from them beginuii;? of such a highly important natur. that your committee felt impelled to follow out these developments to their reasonable and logical conclu sions. 'Limited time has not permitted your committee to. in any dogreo. complete its work. "Your committee believes it to bu the spirit and purpose of this investi gation to look into the financial af fairs and policies of the university and not any one department only. "Your committee has boon working with a determination that their i:i vestigation shall not be diverted to any one mat or department, an'l your committee has reasons to be lleve that if they are given the op portunities of longer time to direc' the course into other departments ol the university that many additional and important facts can be secured and presented to you for your judg ment and information. "Your committee deeply appreciates the purposes and responsibilities o this investigation and assures you that the results of their efforts and labors thus far are of vital import ance both to the university and to the state of Nebraska. "Your committee earnestly and re spectfully petitions you to be privl leged to lay before this body arani plete report of the findings of a com plete investigation rather than a par tial report of any one department. "Your committee desires also to call the attention of the house to the fact that sickness of the various members of your committee has v?ry seriously interfered with and delayed this investigation. On the foregoing representations and statement of fact, your committee mose respectfully ask to be continued until March 20." T.TNmT.N. NEBRASKA.

The Arab conception of God is that of an all-powerful ruler who dootu'" Interest himself with the personal morality or ethics of his worshippers, but requires them to acknowledge and affirm his omnipotence. As long as an Arab- does this, he is supremely self-satisfied, and although he may be in rags and with only a hazy Idea as to where his next meal is coming from, ho regards no one as his sn perior, said the doctor. The missionary in Arabia doesn't try to make Baptists, Presbyterians or what not of the Bedouins, but en deavors to teach them the skeleta' teachings of Christ himself, stripped of unimportant theological baggage and doctrinal impediments, Dr. Hai rison explains.
