WEDNESDAY, OCTOHKR M, 19.11 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN THRER PRINTING IS FOURTH Kistlcr of K. U. Discusses Expansion of Trade Since 1450. LAWRE NCE, KaH. Printing and publishing: ranks fourth among all the industries of the United States, with an annual output of two billion dollars annually, said Prof. oJhn J. Kistler of the de partment of journalism, University of Kansas, in a radio address this morninf on the university's sta tion, KFKU. Professor Kistler is beginning- a series of talks no the history and development of the printing Industry. Present day printing and publishing employs a half million persons at salaries aggregating three-quarters of a billion dollars. "The last hundred years have accounted for practically all the important mechanical develop ments which have made i t s growth and importance possible," said Professor Kistler. A scant century ago there were no four color printing presses; no newspa per presses that would print com pleted newspapers from rolls of paper; no modern type setting ma chines; no photo-engraving process to make illustrations possible. Gutenberg First Printer. "Printing in its real sense, be gins with the invention of mov able types, probably around 1450, and supposed by John Gutenberg, of Maine, Germany. Prior to that time there had been block print ing, of very ancient origin, but slow and cumbersome. "The first form of printing in Europe was that of pictures from wooden . blocks. Paradoxically enough, they either were charac ters and scenes of a Biblical na ture, or playing cards either acred or profane." Mr. Kistler described the efforts of Pi Shetig; a Chinese blacksmith, to print from movable characters, mad from clay, but owing to the multiplicity . of .Chinese characters, the plan was not practicable. Used Movable Types. "Gutenberg's greatest achieve ment was is famous 42-linc Bible probably the first book printed from movable types. It was com pleted in 1455, after two years of work," said Professor Kistler. v "In 1462 Mains was the scene of a conflict between rival bishops and the greater part of the town "The Student's Store" Rector's Pharmacy B3952 13 & P Sts.

ALPHA XI DELTA TOPS SORORITIES IN SCHOLARSHIP (Continued from page one.) the University of Nebraska, gave a talk on the scholarship theme of the banquet. In speaking of the spirit of the middlewest, Mrat Deming said that it remained for the college students of today to maintain that spirit, which is per haps the most typical of United States. The culture of this genera tion will keep America alive, de clared the "speaker. Mrs. Deming told of the out standing women in all fields today who were graduates of the Uni versity of Nebraska. These women are an inspiration to all students, stated Mrs. Deming. Mrs. Knox Burnett, president of City Pan-Hellenic, who served as toastmistress for the affair, com mended sororities who had done away with downtown parties. She explained that the banquet had been scheduled in the fall for the first time this year in order to en courage scholarship throughout throughout the year. Last year the City Pan-Hellenic established three $50 scholarships which all university women are eligible to win. Preference is given to junior and senior women, according to Mrs. Burnett. Mrs. Burnett introduced as guest of honor at the dinner, Mrs. E. A. Burnett, Mrs. Samuel Avery and Miss Amanda H. Heppner. Trio Provides Music. A Mu Phi Epsilon trio, Ruth Randall, Naomi Randall and Helen Ludlam, opened the musical pro gram playing "Prelude in C Sharp Minor" by Rachmaninoff. Audrey Reed, accompanied by Frances Morley, presented a vocal solo. Mrs. Flavia Waters Champe gave her interpretation of an East Indian nautch dance. Mrs. Blanche Trombla played the accompani ment. A violin solo was given by Naomi Randall, accompanied by Ruth Randall. Following the un rolling of the scholarship scroll, the banquet closed with the sing ing of "There Is No Place Like Nebraska." Mrs. Gerald Carpender served as general chairman for the banquet. Miss H. Alice Howell was chair man of the program committee; Mrs. Paul Lessenhop, menu; Mrs. Emmett Junge, charts and prizes; Mrs. W. W. Burr, decorations; Mrs. H. C. Mardis, tickets, and Mrs. F. D. Colman, table arrange ments.

THE GROWLER The all-university parties of the present era are parties sponsored, managed, conducted and attended by the barbs. Their activity in the staging of the affairs has been commendable. The attendance at these functions has, however, been largely composed of unaffiliated students, high school pupils and parties in no way connected with this institution. The number of fraternity and sorority men and women who have been present is very small. Before the barbs took over the management of the parties a com mittee of four men and lour wom en planned and staged these af fairs with the backing of the Stu dent council. The membership on this committee became a political plum and so the management was given to the Barb council. If these functions are to be worthy of the name of all-university parties they should be at tended, sponsored and backed by the undergraduate body as whole. Either the barbs should in some way attempt to gain the co-opera tion of the Greeks or they should chanee the nomenclature. These affairs might become the out standing social functions at the university and might be put on at rn even smaller cost ii this were done. The Barb council rightly treas ures this duty and Jealously guards the management of it. The aid of the fraternity and sorority groups would make the parties bigger and better. Dance bands of national prominence could be obtained more frequently and the price could remain at a minirrum. The University of Nebraska needs better parties and they may be had at the same price if the whole group co-operates. The whole school should feel that they are their parties and not the af fairs of one group or another. There is no reason why a har monious combined effort could not be made so that everybody will feel welcome to attend. STUDENTS SUPPLIES School Foun- (f1 A A tain PENS....

Gambling Habit of British Earl Leads To First Sandwich (From Dally Cardinal.) That the modern sandwich is an outgrowth of and English earl's desire to gamble without stopping for meals is revealed in an article appearing In the Wisconsin Coun try magazine by Ruth Henderson, assistant professor of home eco nomics. The Earl of Sandwich one of England's most famous gamesters, was so fond of gambling that he even begrudged the time required to eat three meals a day. Late to Meals. Frequently he was very late to his meals, being delayed at his games while bis servants awaited him impatiently. Intensely interested in keeping on with his game one day when the dinner call was sounded, the earl struck on the idea of having a servant bring him his meat be tween to slices of bread, so that he might continue his game and still be able to eat. Caught Popular Fancy. The idea caught the popular fancy and the popularity of the "sandwich" spread rapidly until it reached the status of today. The cross on the hot cross bun originated when the housewife of ancient times put a cross on her buns to keep the devil from inter fering with her cooking. The practice faded as general custom but springs up every year as Good Friday approaches. Is Hotel Roll. The Parker house roll is the development of the famous old Boston hotel, the Parker house, Miss Henderson's article declares. Johnny cake .is a corrupted usage of the journey cake of many year? ago. This type of corn bread was popular for lunch baskets of travelers of many years ago. Named for Carne. Chill con corne, a popular dish in this country, is named for the chili pepper and came, the Mexi can name for meat. Chop suey, a distinctly Ameri can dish, which is unknown in China, means a variety of small pieces. INSTRUCTOR CUNEO LAUDS HOOVER'S BANK POOL PLAN AS ECONOM IC HELP. (Continued from page one.) expand or contract credit. It is their manner of converting wealth into purchasing power. Since under present provisions the feder al reserve act limits the type of assets which the federal reserve banks can accept for rediscount, Hoover plans to ask the senate to broaden these provisions. "Federal reserve banks," accord ing to Cuneo, "are not institutions with powers to remove all causes of financial ills. They are, how ever, directly responsible for the foundation of the entire American structure of credit and they must Insure the maintenance and smooth working of the credit sys tem. For that reason it will be a national benefit if the senate fol lows Hoover's suggestions and broadens the eligibility provisions of the federal reserve act to give greater liquidity to the assets of banks." "President Hoover's plan," Cuneo concluded, "will have the effect of stabilizing the security market and will aid in restoring much needed confidence." RADIO PROGRAM rmiDAV, OCTOBEB 1. :30 a. m.

Gets King Mixed With 'Gal; Gets Broun Derby Too The traditional brown derby, which is awarded each week to the law college freshman who makes the dumbest crack in that period, was won for the first time last week by William Comstock of Omaha. During the week, the freshman classes had been studying many cases concerning the English law. All of the cases were headed some thing like this: Regina vs. Doe; Regina vs. Smith; Kegina vs. Brown, etc. Now it happens that Regina was the English sovereign at the time and it also happens that Bill did not know this. "Who is this gal Regina," says our Wil liam. And so they gave him the brown derby. This great old custom was in augurated last year and Is being carried on down through the years. Today the lawyers, potential only, will attempt to pick the classic from a wealth of dumb cracks so that the iron hat can again be pre sented to the deserving party. .
