(Continued from Page 1.) effect of their activity at the crit ical point when the downward trend was precipiated. German Plan Failed. In regard to remedying the sit uation. Dr. Kirshman pointed out several possibilites, any one of which, he indicated, carried with it effects which might be worse than the cure. He explained that an attempt to control such specula tion in Germany some twenty-five years ago had failed. The short selling activity is simply the negative side of specu lation in anticipation of a rise. If prices are not raised by specula tion, they will not be so likely to be lowered. Defenders of the "bears" point out this fact and reason that if short selling is eliminated, "bull" speculation should also be eliminated. Short selling could be prohibited to a certain extent, Dr. Kirshman said, by prohibiting brokers from loaning clock. This would not, however, prevent short selling by speculators who owned their own stock or were able to borrow it by putting up collateral. Another possibility of regula tion would be to abolish the call loan market where speculators can iiet loans bv pledging the stock they buy with the loan as security. This would slow up both forms of speculation, but it would disrupt a continuous market. Abolish the "Lambs." The most feasible plan, accord ing to Dr. Kirshman, would be to keep out of the market the so called "lambs" who buy odd lots, that is small amounts of stock on margin and who haven't sufficient money to increase their margin wp a downward trend of the market begins. Most of these "lambs," Dr. Kirshman pointed out. instruct their brokers to sell them out if the stock price goes down a given number of points from the price at which they bought. This means that the "bears" merely have to force pri" down a certain number of points and then the "lambs" are all forced to sell. This rush of selling further depresses prices, more "lambs" are forced to sell, invest ors become frightened and sell their stock and the whole schedule of prices is depressed far below actual value. Then the "bears" buy back their stock and "clean up." If these small speculators with out sufficient funds to keep their stock could be kept out of the market by prohibiting the selling of stock in less than hundred share lots, which would more or less re strict buying to those who could afford it the precipitation of stock crashes by short sellers would be made much more diffi cult, according to Professor Kirsh man. MISS SMITH LECTURES AT VESPERS MEETING (Continued from Page 1.) urge of life to the art of life: sec ond, to seek not the fulfillment of present desire, but that transfor mation of desire which will yield most abundant fulfillment; third, to live for the lure of unexplored possibilities. She believes that to pass from immaturity to matur ity is to undergo these threefold transformations. "To accomplish these trans formations." Miss Smith said in closing, "we must have a desire for life, be willing to stand alone, and be willing to sell all for life. This Is what we mean by eternal life." Our first real American music ac .-ding to Miss Smith consisted of spirituals as it is the only music that United States can really claim. Catherine Williams, vice president of the Y. W. C.

Sometimes reverses in cocial and economic life cause people to become "submis sives." An Interesting examp'e of the development of an ascend ant child was illustrated by this example: the girl was an only child who had many beautiful toys. Every day many other children came over not because she was so popular, as she thought, but to play with the toys. She became domineering and "bossy." The questions in the tests are problems such as this: "Suppose you were the third person from the first of a line of people waiting to buy tickets. A person rushes into the line in front of you. What would you do? Would you 'look daggers' at him; would you say something under your breath about him, would you speak to him about it, would you do nothing, or would you go away?" (Mr. Meier says that if you do the last one you're an extreme sub missive.) BIG 6 DELEGATES WILL CONVENE ON CAMPUS APRIL 30 (Continued from Page 1.) to be represented at the confer ence.

The ten piece orchestra that has been under the supervision of Jimmy Douglass, played a number of excellent tunes that were com posed by Nebraska students. 1 The financial part of the two-act musical extravaganza has not been as successful as the dramatic part of the show.
