CflAes' Take Notice
Delta Gammas Will
Offer Kisses for Sale!
Now that Doctor Lyman has
proved that there are no harmful
results from kissing, the Delta
Gammas have snatched the oppor
tunity and are preparing to make
the best of it. As someone has
said, kissing is a great outdoor
sport. Life is not shortened by
freely indulging and the Delta
Gammas want to give everyone the
chance to enjoy himself. They're
offering a bargain only a nickel
for two. and no counterfeits either!
This will be carried on under ex
pert supervision. Don't miss the
greatest opportunity of a lifetime.
The Delta Gamrw kissing booth
at the Comhusker Carnival is
notliing to pass up lightly.

About Germanic-U. S.
Relations.
Pr. Wolf von TV all. ho ;
speaking Friday at 11 o'clock all
the Temple auditorium on the
topic "Germany. France and The !
league." it optimistic concerning
the relations between Germany
and the United Mates and Eu
roe. Dr. von Dewall will also
speak at the World Forum lunch
eon at the Lincoln chamber of
commerce at 12 o'clock on "Domi
nating Ideals of Germany Today."
He is stoppinc here on his trip
through the United States.
This will be Herr von Dewall'
second lecture tour In this country
within eighteen months, he hav
ing made a two months tour of
the eajil and midwest last winter.
"I am an optimist as regards
Germany'a future, despite the pes
simism now prevalent," Herr von
Dew all sttaed when he arrived in
thia country. "Conditions on the
surface are not satisfactory. Two
million persons are unemployed,
trade and induct ry have bad a dif
ficult time and there have been
Industrial failures. Another alarm
ing thing on the surface is the
increasing strength of the radical
parties, the extreme right and the
extreme left. It should not be con
cluded, however, that this increase
seriously affects the general sen
timent of tbe nation.
Reparations Were Important.
Speaking of post-war problems
Herr von Dewall said. "In my
lectures in the midwest last win
ter I pointed out that two great
difficulties were standing in the
way of Franco-German concilia
tion; that the problem of repara
tions had to be solved before evac
uation of the Rhineland could be
faced. This was of supreme im
portance to Germany. I looked
at the situation with optimism. 1
thought tat ii aJ.e of :t reat
ness of difficulties we would solve
the two problems of reparations
and evacuation. When I said this
people sometimes accused me of
being too great an optimist.
"However, the political develop
ment has shown that my optim
ism was well-founded. The repa
rations problem has been solved
and evacuation has already begun
and will be carried out before
June 30. June 30 will thereby
become the turning point in
Franco-German relation's. The last
obstacle that stood in the way of
reconciliation between Germany
and France will be removed."

This point of view was flatly
contradicted by a popular and nc

opinion:
"1 think girls must neck to be
popular. That is. to date regularly

to date cirls who neik. not neces

who do not neck ret dates, too. but
fewer of them, and not necessarily

"The trouble is that most of the
