H. Oldfather, dean of the col lege of arts and sciences. In an address before the Alliance Kiwanis club on the subject, "The War, The Peace, and The United States," Tuesday evening, Dean Oldfather declared that American neutrality hasn't been fully tested, because as yet there is no serious threat that Britain and France will lose the war. But when this threat does appear, and he believes that there is at least a 50-50 chance that it will, or when it appears that the allies are becoming financially exhausted, then will come the real test of American neutrality. What if allies lose? The arts college dean predicted that if the allies lose, the British empire would be completely shat tered, France would be reduced to a secondary power, Italy would control the entire Mediterranean, and Holland would lose the East Indies. "But in spite of such radical changes In the political map. of the world, the United States must keep out of war," Dean Oldfather said. "In the first place, our west ern hemisphere will remain safe, because the central powers will be morally and financially exhausted, and will have enormous problems for we cannot hope to bolster up a world order which is not based upon realities. Can't save it ourselves "In other words," he said, "if Germany and her allies are power ful enough to control the rest of the world, the U. S. cannot save it for England and France. Euro pean civilization will be beyond saving." The dean feels that this country should be ready to participate in 21 coeds to ride in horse show The second annual horse show, sponsored by the university riding club will be held Sunday at 2 p. m. at Shreves Riding Academy.

Work first qualification of good lawyer-Carter "Willingness to work is the prime requirement for becoming a successful lawyer," Judge Edward F. Carter, of the Nebraska Su preme court told 30 pre-law stu dents attending a vocational forum held in social science halL "The practice of law is 95 per cent hard work," added Judge Carter, who graduated from Ne braska's law school in 1919. In discussing the problems fac ing prospective lawyers, Judge Carter presented figures showing that Nebraska has 2,275 practicing lawyers, one for every 606 in habitants. These figures he inter preted to ment that the legal pro fession is ove.'crowded. However, he urged his a.idience to remem ber that other fields are similarly overcrowded. The jurist advised, "Settle in a place which you like. Don't select a location which is not pleasant." Another problem considered by Judge Carter was that of joining an established firm.
