THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Lobbyi ng By "AT LINCOLN 'The Patsy" is a rather enjoyable comedy drama, concerning the woes of a family baby, wno as gins are wont to do, thinks that she is quite a matured lady and that her w-ns should be respected. Big sister with her beau, and mama with her social ambitions, pap's and Patsy's life very unenjoyable. However they under stand and sympathize with each oth er, and papa meekly doing as he is told and Patsy secretly admiring big sister's beau. In the end, of course, Patsy contrives to bring happiness to herself, her daddy and to the rest of the family. The pictures of Lindbergh's voy ages are naturally extra-ordinarily interesting.

LIBERTY "The Hindu", a mystery storv of the far East, with appropriate set tings and costumes, is a relief from the homish atmosphere that the past presentations of the SutDhen nlavers have offered. The action of the play has its beginning in an office in Scotland Yard, London. From there it moves to the palace of Prince Ta- mar, in Sommouth, India. It familiarizes one with the pecu liar methods of Scotland Yard, the romantic drabness of the Occident. and the ending holds a surprise for you. One must give his imagination full play to understand the plausibil ity of the incidents, and co-incidents, that occur in the story, but it is nev ertheless, a sufficiently enlivened mystery, to make it a good evening's entertainment. I wonder whether the players un derstand each other any better than the audience does, when they (the players) converse in some strange tongue, that may or may not be, Indian language.

Anyway a certain youngster in a leading role, did some of the most artistic acting that I have ever seen. Since that time I have seen the same young man in numerous vehicles and each time I was more ' disappointed than the time before. The producers just wouldn't give this lad a chance, so it seemed, to show his wares. But the mighty gods of fate decreed otherwise, for after a patient struggle through a score or more, of undeserving roles Richard Barthlemess once more comes to the front as one of the greatest juvenile actors of all time. His truly great performance in the "The Patent Leather Kid" should es ttablish him as an immortal hero in the hearts of every true movie fan. And shining through a story that is obviously a conglomeration of "The Big Parade", "What Price Glory" and any one of a hundred fight pic tures (of the fistic nature), one de tects the work of a master-director. Little details, artistic touches of a subtle mind, any one of which tell a complete story to those who have witnessed similar sights, or had a similar experience, have been worked out in a way that make parts of this film a high spot in movie making. In a saloon setting the story starts out with a bang, the story of a sec ond rate pug that was so unpopular because of his over-confidence that he drew tremendous crowds. They came to see him get beat. Here again the scenes are so natural, that one can almost hear the ractuous yelling f the motley assemblago, and de tect tho odor of rosin mingled with fresh saw-dust. But "The Patent Leather Kid", he gets his name from the pleastered head of black hair that is always kept immaculately combed, is a game fighter and a winner. IIe falls in love with Curley, a chorus girl, played by Molley O'Day. Comes vhe great world war. His sweetheart urges him to join the for ces of his country's fighting man power, but the thought of roaring guns, shell g a s d eat h scares him. A yellow coward, caught in the draft and thrown into the thick of that living inferno. A cringing quit ter who blabbers that he can't, he won't go on while his comrades lay their lives upon the altar of blood, of hate, of vengeance, of the vicious gods of war. t Then comes the crisis. His be loved pal and buddy bleeda to death in his arms. The quitter "comes back", the act that has been idealized in every phase of human endeavor, by which the lowliest rise to almost super-human situations his come back, and fate's glorious reward love. That is the story of "The Pat ent Leather Kid", the coward who became a hero. The work of Arthur Stone as the Kid's trainer: Raymond Turner as his rubber: Matthew Betz as his manager, deserves oemment. You may find a weak spot in the picture here and there and you may state (I will agree with you) that Molly O' Day is not Renee Adoree as a war heroine, but I think you will agree with me when I say "It is a picture that Warn proud to recommend."

"College is the outlet for self-ex pression. Thoughts are just as much a part of one's personal property as one's coat or hat, therefore it is noth ing less than common stealing to copy another person's paper or theme. The one who helps the cheat er to cheat is just as bad as the one who cheats because he helps destroy the cheater's opportunity for self -ex pression, and also his self-respect.

Dr. C. R. Ball of the United States department of agricultural states that in the ten years in which bar berry eradication has been going on sixteen million bushes have been tak en out of the thirteen states com prising this region. Plans are being made to continue this work with a view toward removing the bushes re maining. Rust from Bush Biack stem rust, one of the most formidable enemies of the wheat grower, can be traced to the barberry plant in the opinion of Dr. b. O. Stakman of the University of Minn- esota. It has been found tbat the rust needs the barberry plant to live on in one stage of its development. This theory upsets the current belief that the rust spores are carried to this region on the north wind. Dr. Peitier of the university plant pathology department, Lynn I). Hut ton of the College of Agriculture, And Donald Fletcher of Minneapolis appeared on' tje program Tuesday afternoon. W. K. Brokaw la sched uled to talk on Wednesday. The sessions of the conference will con tinue during the remainder of the "The tariff, on the whole, is not the narrowly partisan topic some think," declared Professor Theodore T. Bullock Thursday in his radio talk on "The Nebraska Farmer and the Tariff." Professor Bullock's speech was a non-partisan discussion of the various effects of raising and lower ing of tariff rates. Extracts from Professor Bullock's lecture are as follows: "Neither of the great political parties favors simon . pure free trade or absolute protection for all producers. The dif ference between the two is a dif ference in degree and in geography. Individuals Vary "To be sure, we have individual democrats and even republicans who are out and out free traders. They claim that the greatest benefits from specialization and commerce can be had only through tho abolition of tariff barriers. Moreover, they insist that such abolition is precedent to the successful establishment and maintenance of world peace. "To offset these we have individual protectionists who say that protec tive tariffs are solely responsible for our becoming a great manufacturing nation with a rich home market," he went on. "They are just as sure that for military reasons and in order that our marvelous prosperity may be conserved we must retain our duties in toto, adding to them rather than making any reduction in rates. Question of Expediency "This is especially true, they claim, just now when France is on the point of resuming her old place in the world's economic life," he delared "Such individuals are, however, few in number. With most of us the tar iff Question is a question of exred- iency rather than of principle. It is a question of degree, and of locality. "At present two aspects of the entire controversy are attracting popular and expert attention. First, to put it as the free trader does, the possible effect on Europe's business recovery of our high tariff policy. Are we throttling her at a crucial moment? Are we insisting on pay ment of the war debts while at the same time making payment impos sible? 17 black Idegrees 3 copying AtaVL dealers Buy a dozen Jhe largest selling quality pencil ftf?, Via.

"In general, we may say, in an agricultural country with great agri cultural exports the farmers, of all groups of people, are the least bene fited and the most injured by a pro tective tariff. Importation of the goods the farmers buy is checked," Prof. Bullock declared. "The farm ers must pay higher prices then. "It is true that if we include the so-called invisible items along with the visible our exports and imports always balance. Necessarily then, lessened importation leads to a de cline in exports. This gives our farm ers a smaller European demand for their products with lower prices for what they sell. The farmers catch it both coming and going, apparently. "What should the Nebraska farm er favor and work for if he wishes our tariff policy to minister to his own economic advancement, if he is not to be a hundred per cent altru ist? Two things," he maintained. Lowering of Duties "First If wisely effected a p-rn.i ual lowering of many duties would react in bis favor. His dollar would Duy more at the local store and hi present great cutsomer Europe would UB aluea m regaining normalcy. It is always well to have our customers prosperous. "In the second place the Nebraska iarmer should make sure that in abolishing or lowering the duties on goods he does not produce he is not forced to surrender props that while useless today may prove of trreat value tomorrow. "As we have seen, the tradition friends of the tariff are shifting ground. Nebraskans should stndv thcao shifts and their causes," he concluded, "and then with their eyer open decide which group in tho long run will make the better or best ally."
