Minnesota, Wisconsin and Cornell have Jong ago set the pace in this important field of study. In his new position Dr. Nelson will be given an unlimited opportunity for research work in his field to become a national authority on the subject. - Dr. Nelson's scholarship and general ability was recognized recog-nized by Dr. F. S. Harris, who brought him to Provo when he came here as president of the Brigham Young university. As director of the extension division, Dr. Nelson instituted the annual Leadership Week at the school, an event which has-now become a traditional part of the school calendar. . He earned for himself added laurels for his fine work as president of the Timpanogos council, Boy Scouts of America, doing an excellent job in guiding the destinies of that vast organization for several years. The Herald extends congratulations to Dr. Nelson with the best wishes for continued success in his new assignment. assign-ment. .- - ; , Court Reform and the Constitution President Roosevelt sisms the revised court bill and an nounces that the "battle for judicial reform" will be continued. con-tinued. ' If the "reform" referred to represents any change in the supreme court over and above the constitutional filling of vacancies by presidential appointment and senate confirmation, confirma-tion, -the lesson is plain that it should be proposed in the form of a regular constitutional amendment submitted to the people. - Last week, at Roanoke island, the president said: "I seek no change in the form of American government." The people want no change in the rules, except in the method provided in the rules themselves. Neither congress nor the president has the power to tamper with the court as established under the constitution, by ruling (even assuming assum-ing there is no packing motive) that judges become incompetent incom-petent at 70. The constitution provides for life membership and any acceptable change in this concept must be in the constitution. Lost Money Postal inspectors have cleared up another mail swindle which has bilked hard-headed business .men,, as well as the traditional widows and orphans for years. There was nothing new game. It was the old "lost estate" trick that has been used und exposed again and' again. A man named Baker was supposed sup-posed to have died and left a will dated Dec. 27, 1837. The testament disposed of a large part of the land on which Philadelphia is built, not to mention various tracts of coal land throughout Pennsylvania. Just why the will was allowed to kick around 100 years before being probated, the swindlers' prospectus didn't explain ex-plain very clearly, nor the little matter of how title had been proved on this property during its frequent transfers in that 100 years. But that didn't deter the "investors." They bit to the fine tune of several millions on the chance of being heirs. It took the government and 24 convictions to finally stop the flow of money that was much more completely lost than any estate could ever be.

I Was Thinking-r- By ELSIE O. OAKUOIX OF FIRE I was thinking I looked into the leaping flames and glowing embers of a bonfire of a beautiful Indian legend I once read. Its central cen-tral thought was that during the life of a tree all the colors surrounding sur-rounding the tree were stored within it the rose and gold of dawn, the burning light of the noonday sun, the soft crimsons and purples of evening, the silvery sil-very shimmers of moonlight innumerable in-numerable tints and shades, they are caught and held during the life of the tree and are given off in intensified fceauty when the tree, after its death is turned. There is a symbolic suggestion in the story, that in the fire, the soul of the tree escapes and passes on to infinity. Love Is Universal Love for fire, in its kind and beneficial forms, is universal. Th bonfire, the -"heafth fireY tht campfire, the signal fire they aL naVe rich connotations. The cheer- ful light of a bonfire loosent tongues and opens hearts. The bonds of fellowship and friendship are welded tighter in the warmth of a friendly fire. The hearthfire, has since the dawn of civilization been a symbol sym-bol of home unity and national stability "Keep the home fires burning" suggests much more than the words merely say. Sacred Greek Fire In Greek mythology we find that Vesta, sister of Jove and goddess of the home fire and hearth, as also guardian of fanv ily life. Her sacred fire burned on every hearthstone, and in that time, since the town or village was only an extended family, there r THERE'S A MACHINE ; THAT TOOK TH1, PLACE I- AH WELL. IT JUS' OP.

Jift to Man The mythological history of fire as a gift to man is most lnterest-ng. lnterest-ng. ft has to do with the sacrifice sacri-fice and suffering of Prometheus, jr forethought, who was called jpon by Jove to assist in the creation cre-ation of a new race. As the itory goes, Prometheus took clay ifrom the banks of a river and molded It into the likeness of the ods and breathed the breath of life into the images that he had made. But these men were feeble and .hey had many problems. They aad to struggle' against the changes of the weather. The earth vouiu not bear tood tor them unless un-less they first tilled the soil, and around them were dangerous wild oeasts. It seemed that this new ace would perish unless help jame.

He begged Jupiter to we tnese new beings the blessed ift of tire so they would not need to fear the cold and by means of which they could shape themselves tools ana weapons. But Jupiter feared that if he ave this great boon to men, they vould think themselves, the equal jt the goos, and he refused to rant the request of Prometheus, vho was so deeply grieved tnat he esoived to leave the a'oode of the ejoda and make his home with these beings he had created. 'ire Brings New. Era So he left Olympus and carried car-ried with him, hidden- in a reed, che gift of fire. He taught men jy tne help of his gift to make weapons with which to fight wild oeasts and to contend with their enemies. He showed them how .hey might contrive tools for .all nandicraits and trades. In other words, the gift of fire brought to mankind a new era ifi civilization. But it brought to the fire-onnger fire-onnger the wrath of Jupiter, and ae was doomed Id suffer. He was riveted to a bleak rock where each day a huge vulture tore at his vitals. At night the wounds were nealed, only to be reopened in the morning.

The Promethean theme the sac- ice -of one to help and befriend a race has been a favorite in literature since the days of Greece. Some of the greatest tragedies in world literature have been based upon it. Fire is then, the symbol1 of the beginning of. ; human . arts and science.

Or as the primrose did Wordsi worth: "To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears." Fire is more than "the principle of cumbustlon as manifested in light and heat," a mere scientific process. It has a spiritual significance sig-nificance that I feel but which lies "too deep for words." Ex - Youngsters BY X REPORTER A few nights ago some "boys and girls" who are now getting bald or gray replayed (in fancy) some of the games that youngsters young-sters used to play in the -vilight of long summer evenings years ago. I suppose they still play them, for I see the signs and hear the calls occasionally nowadays now-adays when passing a group of youngsters as night comes on. Pee-wee, duck on the rock, snap the whip, pom-pom pullaway, one-foot-on-the-gutter, tag, cops and robbers, run, sheep, run, tap the finger. Do you remember those? Or maybe, if you're young enough you still play them. The group which talked of those olden days was composed, as I said, of individuals who were boys and girls. I was surprised to find that the girls had played just about all of those games that we used to play in herds even into snap the whip, which is a rather serious game for a lady if she happens to to down toward the snapper end of the whip. All of us in the little group of ex-youngsters had a tale or two to tell, based on one of the games listed above. Since all of us had spent our childhood years in widely separated parts of this nation, na-tion, it seejns probable that the kids all Over America play just about the same games. I can remember as if it were yesterday the climax of one hiding hid-ing game in which two persons hid and the whole pack hunted. Another lad and myself found, almost al-most within sight of our "base," the finest hiding spot imaginable. imagin-able. In the backyard of what had once been a mansion, but which had fallen into decay, there was an old shed which had fallen over on its face, so Its doorway was concealed. It was floored, and the only entrance way was thru a small window on one side. For many a '. night the; pack hunted , us two, without 1. success. We could hear them, passing by, as we lay concealed under the door of the shed which we could barely dose upon ourselves and the , mat of tall grass that had grown-up around it. . ; Eventually the ; pck 'made : us show trar hiding place" to ' one of its members, - to prove that we had' hot violated the hiding rules.

CHAPTER VIII 'j'HERE was nothing especially romantic about the way they found Stuart Blake. Silas Colter caw him first, and grasped his father's arm. "Ain'k ain't that a man away over yonder?" He was staring in the distance. It was a man, undoubtedly. Silas unconsciously cocked the rifle he carried. The man was staggering, half crawling. But he wasn't menacing- He hadn't even seen the Colters, in fact. Carolee was with the Colters that day, but that was just happenstance. hap-penstance. She had hung out her sheet signal on the morning after her experience with Stuart, but he had not met her down tra.il. This had piqued her considerably; She'd wait a week or more before she tried to signal him again, she promised herself. Paul Colter had gone alone to study the high plateau country, and Silas and the father had spent a day at wood gathering. On the second day they and Carolee went mine hunting. She saw the man in the distance, dis-tance, but didn't recognize him. "He's in trouble, isn't he?" she demanded. They had no field glasses, and he was several hundred yards away. They turned to get nearer him. tit's that Blake feller!" Old man Colter recognized him first. "Oh!" cried Carolee.

The Colter men had to hold him off the water, once he got a sip. They let him drink a swallow at a time, with considerable con-siderable interval. Carolee bathed his brow with a moistened handkerchief. hand-kerchief. Nobody did any talking for a long while. Silas had a can of peaches in his pack, and fed Stuart the sweet juice, then some of the fruit. After that Stuart slept. They sat with him untilhe revived and recognized them as real people, not phantoms. "Carolee!" he murmured, and smiled. She smiled back and asked, gently, "Do you feel better?" He drank more water, and ate more of the' food they offered. Strength was flowing back into him. "This W e d n e s d a y?" he asked. "Thursday," she said. "What happened? How long have .you been here? Who is with you?" "Nobody. Nothing happened. To me, I mean. My horse fell over a cliff and killed himself. Yesterday, Yester-day, I suppose. Where are the panthers?" - It was his last memory, and his speech was confusing. 'He realized he'd have to explain, i i "I found some mountain lion babies, panthers. like those in the filling station zoo.' Not "the old ones. I expected them to come and tear into me, "They don't do people ho harm," Mr. Colter said, watching Stuart intently. "Where's your hoss?" "I don't know. Dead somewhere, orf the rocks.
