Letters to
Santa Clans
Santa Claus Land
North Pole.
Hallo Kiddies:
r vou all being nice little
0UU and boys so that when I
cim to see you at Christmas
Mum I can bring: you all the nice
thlnn you would like to get? I
bom to, for if you aren't, it will
mean an empty stocking: for you!
Bivfirv day I get millions of let
ters from you kiddies asking me
for oresents. Some of the lists are
long as long, but most of you
write you want only one thing.
Here's a note I got from little
Gayle Courtney Walker just yes
terday, asking for a very strange
Christmas gift:
"Dear Saint Nicholas:
"I am a model of behavior
and would like to make a single
request. Could I, Saint Nick
I may call you Saint Nick,
mayn't I? have a great big
box of Orange Pekot tea? I am
very fond of tea.
Respectfully yours,
"Gayle C. Walker."
Ho, ho, ho! Isn't he a funny
little boy? But here's another let
ter from a boy, who asks for a
book:
Dear Comrade Claus:
"There is only one thing I de
tire for Christmas. Please send
me 'Das Kapltal'.
"Yours In the Revolution,
"J. E. Le Rossignol."
That lad is a red-blooried young
man, isn't he?
Not so long ago I received a
very different piece of writing
from a youngster with a very
smart sounding first name, who
wanted an odd present:
"Dr. Mr. Claus, Sir:
"If I might be very forth
right, I have a most unsual
favor to ask of you. I'm exceed
ingly tired, Mr. Claus, of hear
ing that Meyer girl prattle about
calling a spade a spade. Would
you please ask her to say what
she means about the maligned
Implement in question and .call
It damn shovel?'
"Sincerely yours,
"Sherlock B. Gass."
He seems like a very naughty
little boy to talk like that, doesn't
he, but I will see what I can do
for him.
Now here is a sweet letter from
two little girls. Like the little Le
Rossignol lad, they want a book
but goodness! What a Book!
Dear Santie-Wantie:
"We work very hard and
study very good. Would you send
us a copy, just for fun, of "The
Hussy's Handbook" by Helen
Brown Norden? In it she dishes
out the dope on men, like they
write in Esquire.
"Loving,
Elea and Leva Walker.
My! My! How' very good girls
those sisters must be! But here is
a letter from abad little boy, who
wants a bad bad present:
"Hi ya Sant old kid!
I"0. K'a my name, and am I!
Boyohboyohboy! Well, I want
you to come across with a pipe
for me what don't go out. When
I'm In class I have to stop and
light It all the time. You'd bit
ter deliver the goods or else.
"Himself,
"0. K. BOUWSMV"
That Is one young man who
should get a good hard spanking
Instead of a nice full stocking.
But I'm sure all the rest of you
kiddies will be on your very best
behavior from now until Christ
mas, so that when I come down
your chimney, I won't have to
turn away again without leaving
you a single thing. You be good
boys and girls, now!
Love,
SANTA CLAUS.
Lawyer, Officer,

Oriental Set'Up
Enforcement of Neutrality
Features in Panel
Discussion.
While a sparse crowd of Lincoln
townspeople shivered and froze in
the Cornhuskerd ballroom last
night, a re presentative of the local
legal profession, an officer of the
United States army, and a faculty
member of the university con
ducted a panel discussion on the
Asiatic situation "in an effort, not
to add to the information already
known about the Sino-Japanese
struggle, but to clarify that which
is already known.
First speaker of the evening in
troduced by District Judge Elwood
Chnppell, who presided, was
Homer Kyle, Lincoln attorney, who
directed his remarks to a con
sideration of the neutrality act
Kyle showed that prior to the
World war, public sentiment in
the United States was very much
for neutrality, but, nevertheless
that fact did not prevent us from
entering the war when It came.
Cites Neutrality Act.
The attorney cited the 1937 neu
trality act as being a distinct safe
guard for peace. The act says that
the president of the United States
shall proclam when a state of war
exists between two nations: and i
thnt thereafter it is unlawful to
sell munitions of war to those
countries, or for citizens to deal
in bonds and credits of the belli
gerents. He declared that Presi
dent Roosevelt has admitted thri
a state of war exists between ,T
pan and China, and yet he has not
invoked the neutrality act, prefer
ring to follow his vague policy of
"good neighborliness" instead.
Kyle predicted that if the neutral
it yact were forcefully invoked it
would not only give the United
States "moral prestige," but that
it would also tend to shorten the
Asiatic war.
John Shaw Speaks.
Maj. John Shaw of the univer
sity R. O. T. C. staff answered the
question: "Should r.ot the United
States withdraw troops stationed
in the Orient?" by saying that the
United States is at the present
time doing just that. Of the troops
sent to settle the Philippine diffi
culty, less than one regiment now
remain, and all those are scheduled
to be removed by the time the is
lands are given their complete in
dependence in 1946.
Major Shaw said that there was
no longer any excuse for main
taining the troops stationed in
China as a result of the protocol

than arguments for and against
predestination.
Dancing, self-styled by clerics as
the most insidious onemy of or
ganized religion, has been given
the eternal bell iir and brlmston
from thousands of pulpits; yet it
appears to have suffered little
from the epithets which puritani

It. Altho the dance waJ the earliest
known form of religious expres

tainment by the austere clerics
during the Puritan revolution
along with the theater and kindred
amusements.
'Forblddert Fruit.'
As "forbidden fruit" dancing be
came still more enticing to sus

times has come to permeate prac

Moses Gives Commandments,
Ezekiel Is Teacher
for Captives.
By Ellsworth Steele.
The Hebrew prophet was pri
marily a forth teller, not a fore
teller. He was an ambassador sent
to make known the will and pur
pose of Jehovah to the chosen peo
ple. As such he spoke for God.
The utterances of the prophets,
however, might take the form of
predictions. The prophet's duty
was to convey the will of God to
the people, and he learned the di
vine will either by observing ex
ternal phenomena or by divine rev
elation.
The first great prophet was
Moses, who lead the Jews out of
Egyptian bondage and gave them
the ten commandments. Of the
other Jewish prophets the most im
portant are grouped into the pre-
exilic (before Israel was crushed
by the Babylonians and most of
them carried away In the famous
Babylonian Exile), exilic, and
postexilic. The preexilic are Amos,
Hosea, Isaiah, Micah, Sephaniah,
Nahum, Habakkuk, and Jeremiah.
The exilic are Ezekiel and second
Isaiah (the author who wrote the
second part of the book of Isaiah )
and the post exilic are Haggai,
Zechariah, Obadiah, Malachi and
Joel.
Emphasized Morality.
Preceeding Amos were the pro
phets Elijah and Elisha who
worked in the northern part of the
Jewish kingdom, Israel as it was
called. Amos was a peasant who
came from a small hamlet near
Jerusalem in Judah. He lived in a
prosperous age and proclaimed
against luxury, fearing that a di
vision of the people into classes
would follow. He pointed out that
the great would soon rise again
and punish the Jews of Israel
-crvrelly If they expanded and al
lowed division to weaken them.
Amos emphasized morality.
The phophet of love, Hosea,
arose in northern Israel when her
great days of prosperity were go
ing and when Assyria was coming
to the front again under a great
leader. He carried on Amos's work,
