LAST WEEK Miss Evelvn Metz- ger. home economics instructor. addressed 100 student members of the Beatrice Woman's Club on the subject "Bringing Our Homes Up To Date." Before the lecture she was entertained at a luncheon for the club department leaders at the Y. W. C. A. walls of his own mill. My two younger brothers are still in the textile trade as dyers and finish ers; we still own the same mill but we have not the long history of the Oldroyds." Miss Bentley was educated at Cheltenham Ladies' College, and took a London Uni versity degree in 1914. During the World war she taught in a neigh boring boys' school, and then did secretarial work in the ministry of munitions. Her earliest works con sisted of "The World's Bane." a set of allegorical tales, and "Peda gomania," a satire on the art of teaching, both of them published in 1918; "Environment" published in 1922 and "Cat In the Manger." published in 1923. But her really great work came some years later: "The Spinner of the Years." a story of the ironic working of circumstance in a wom an's life, in 1928; "The Partner ship," a study of the relationship between two different types of women. 1928: "Carr." a biography of an ordinary man, 1929; and "Trio the story of three girls whose lives are woven together in an ironic and intricate pattern, 1930. These all lead up to "Inheri tance." "Carr," and "A Modern Tragedy." "It is characterization which in terests me most in a novel." says Miss Bentley. and "character which interests me most in life. Especially I am interested in the difference between any person in youth and the same person in later life; the way life moulds charac ter, and character moulds life, is what appeals to me. I am particu larly fascinated by characters which seam rather unsympathetic and unattractive to a casual ob server. How they become so, from being charming and lovable chil dren, is. I think, the deeply inter esting study." NEW TYPEJF AIRPLANE Is Designed So That Motive Power Can Be Applied To Wheels. SEATTLE Prof. John W.

NO DECISION AS DEBATERS ARGUE WITH IOWA TEAM (Continued from Page l.t a two-thirds vote, and that a pub lic bill could be amended by con gress only by a two-thirds major ity. The affirmative claimed that a serious defect of the American government lay in its lack of fixed responsibility and that the ar rangement they proposed would fix the responsibility for all gov ernment acts. Denying this, the negative said that the responsi bility of governmental agencies to the electorate would be endangered because the closest tie the govern ment has with the people is the leg islative branch and the suggested idea would eliminate the power of this body to represent its constitu ents. Continuing further Nebraska asserted that the change would lead to dictatorship because of the transfer of legislative power to the executive. Coincidant advantages which the affirmative attributed to the work ings of their measure were that it would tend toward the elimination of "log-rolling," excessive amend ments, riders, legislative delay, and lack of consideration due public measures. Opposed to this the Ne braska speakers brought out what they said would be consequent dis advantages of the plan: that it would lead to an expensive bureau cracy, that it would cause hasty legislation, and that it would place in the hands of one man too much power to be used correctly except by an exceptional president. The debate squad will continue its work today with two engage ments, one before the noon lunch eon of the Knife and Fork club against Marysville State Teachers college. The other, against Morn ingside college will be broadcast over station KFOR at 5 o'clock. A negative team of Irving Hill and Dwight Perkins will represent Ne braska in both of these arguments. "The attendance at the debate was satisfactory." according to Prof. H. A. White director of de bate, "and competitions before uni versity audiences will be scheduled for later inthe year if arrange ments can be made. If there had not been a sufficient response at this contest we would not attempt to secure more of tbem at future dates." Irving Hill presided at the meet ing and conducted the short open forum discussion following the of ficial debate, and Dwight Perkins was the timekeeper. Both are mem bers of the Nebraska debate squad. j REHEARSAL FOR j COLL - AGRI - FUN TO BE (Continued from Page l.t j ter entertainment this year than l ever before."

"There are many young people for whom a college or university train ing is not to be recommended: our society must be willing to grant that it is respectable for a young man or woman to refrain from a university career." These statemens. boldly chal lenging a widely accepted theory of higher education in the United States, were made this week by Dr. Robert Gordon Sproul, presi dent of the University of Cali fornia. In discussing the question of who should or who should not go to college. Dr. Sproul expressed the opinion that it is a mistake to force such education on those who do not want it or those who can not profit by it. He said: We ask ourselves, ho should go to college?' "To say that nearly all boys and girls with sufficient intelligence to be graduated from a good high school have intelligence sufficient to do some type of university work is perhaps true, it is not an argu ment for universal higher educa tion. It is an indictment of our lack of any sound method of classi Texas University Student Finds A New Delicacy in "Snake Snacks ; Uses Them in Place of Pretzels AUSTIN, Tex..

"Painful as It may be, we must recognize that there are those anion ir our young: neople who do not have the ability to profit by higher education, or for whom higher education has nothing in teresting to offer.
