IM. SPEER UPHOLDS
NECESSITY FOR ARMY
IN RIFLEMAN ARTICLE
R. 0. T. C. Instructor Points
To Fallacy of Arguments
For Disarmament.
Upholding America s need for a
more efficient military policy, and
refuting the prevalent arguments
presented in favor of national
disarmament. Major Charles E.
SDeer. infantry instructor of the
R. O. T. C, has presented ms
views in an article, "Mimary
Policy," which appeared in the
February issue of the fersning
Rifleman.
In defending the policy of na
tional military protection, Major
Speer points out the fallacy in the
arguments of those who desire
complete disarmament and the
settlement of all international dif
ficulties thru world courts.
Experience has proved in every
country in the world that force is
necessary to execute me juag-
mcnts of the court. Major fcpeer
states. "People fail to realize that
the court order is supported by the
sheriff, backed if necessary by the
police, and further supported by
the army if need arises.
Tracing America's military
career thru the many wars of its
history. Major Speer points out
that in this case "wars have made
armies," rather than "armies mak
ing wars." "In the past this coun
try has entered every war, not
only without any army to speak of,
but without any modern weapons,"
he observes.
Major Speer argues that -in
army is as essential for maintain
ing peace as education is for earn
ing a living, fire departments for
protection of property, and insur
ance for security. America cannot
keep the "Wolf of War" from
'i-ne uiior nv ifmnung u py me un-
j protected wealth of the nation, the
'article maintains.

Cleburne's work took him to all

CHILD LABOR STATUTE
Welfare Worker Addresses
Legislature on Work
Reform Bill.
Miss Grace Abbott, former
graduate of the University of Ne
braska, who recently resigned her
position with the Child Welfare de
partment of public welfare at the
University of Chicago, discussed
the Child Labor amendment De-
fore a joint meeting of the House
and Senate yesterday morning.
In tracing the history of the
bill. Miss Abbott said in part: "The
bill was first proposed in 1906, at
which time it reached the floor of
the bouse, where it was killed. Al
tho firmly backed by President
Wilson, a law prohibiting child la
bor was declared unconstitutional,
in 1916, and again in 1925.
"Supporting the amendment,
have been such men as Roscoe
Pound, dean of the Harvard law
school, and Warden Lawes, of
Sing Sing prison. (It has developed
that over 30 percent of the crim
inals in Sing Sing worked during
their childhood.) The large manu
facturers and industrialists have
opposed it.
"A great change has taken
place since the coming of the
code," Miss Abbott concluded, "but
the code Is not permanent, and def
inite action must be taken to pre
vent child labor."

Reporter Kicks Over Traces and Goes
Wandering Thru Hearts and Flowers,
For Valentine's Day Is Close at Hand
BY ED MURRAY.
.Spring is a time for love. (Original stuff, eh? As fresh as
the Xebrasknirs daily features attempting to make news out of
n reporter's half-baked ideas by finding someone who doesn't
care if he's quoted in the newspaper.) The cause of the cub's
constant gripe, which as you shall see saves the reader much
misery, is based on the sacredo
canon of the esteemed profession
of journalism that the only thing a
newspaperman writes is news and
he doesn't know anything except
that he doesn't know anything.
But bo and a lass (pun) today
the subject for the ever-necessary
copy is St. Valentine's day, which
will be with us tomorrow, and
rather than print some sage peda
gogue's hallowed and rusty remi
niscences on the romance and lace
anniversaries of his or her youth,
we set down our usual brain storm
without the professional quotas.
This elongated explanation is
thought necessary because the mo

Ag College Agronomists
Warn Farmers of Smut
A warning was issued by the ag
college agronomists to state farm
ers to treat their seed as a protec
tion against smut infestation next
summer. Because of the importa
tion of large supplies of seed into
the state, the smut infestation may
prove to be a grave danger to the
small grain crops, ag college offi
cials stated.
the Feb. 15 of the year 270. there
were Valentine festivities in the
spring. In fact it was merely a co
incidence that this levered saint or
some other Valentine (history is
very indefinite on the point) was
martyred on the old pagan feast
day of love and purification.
Tennyson's Locksley Hall says
something to the effect that in the
spring a young man fancies more
his love. Rut we must remember
that since Tennyson's day the mak
ing of love has been facilitated in
the winter months and that pent
up love in this aftermath of reli
gious restrictions has lost some of
its potency. It may be safe to say
that the remnants of Valentine
sending among adults today are
the product of wool pulling, high

For Recovery of Miss
Jeanne VanBrunt.
EVERETT MEADE INJURED
Auto Crashes Over Bank Two
And Half Miles South
Of Penitentiary.
Jeanne VanBrunt, Sioux.
Falls, S. Dak., arts and science
senior was critically injured,
and lOvciet Meade, 1:J27 li, suf
fered laeeralions about the face,
chest injuries, and a broken nose
when the car in which they were
riding crashed two and one-half
miles south of the state peniten
tiary, shortly after 8.30 Tuesday
evening. Little hope is held for
Miss VanBrunt's recovery, accord
ing to hospital attendants.
Both Meade and Miss VanBrunt
were taken to St. Elizabeth's hos
pital. Full extent of the girl's in
juries could not be determined, but
attending physician described her
condition as very serious. She sus
tained two fractures of the skull, a
fractured leg, and severe cuts and
bruises about the face and body.
Her chest was crushed in the acci
dent and fear of internal injuries
was held by her doctors.
Meade, who was dazed by the
accident, was unable last night to
give details of the crash.
The car, which was going south,
according to Deputy Sheriff Davis,
who investigated the accident,
plunged over an embankment on
the east side of the road, turning
end over end. It was badly demol
ished. Meade apparently lost con
trol when he struck a dog, 'and the
car followed a ditch for about seventy-five
feet before rolling over
on the incline.
Miss VanBrunt is a member of
Kappa Kappa Gar ma. Her parents
in Sioux Falls were notified im
mediately of the accident. Meade
attended the university a year ago.
He lettered in football in 1933. and
was a member of Sigma Nu. Hi.s
condition was reported by attend
ants as "fair."
Reports from hospital attend
ants at one o'clock Wednesday
morning described Miss Van
Brunt's condition as "increasingly
worse."
