To the exhibit has been added recently a number of beautiful pieces by Virgil Hafen, son of the il lustrious John Hafen. Mr. Hafen is showing, several small studies possessing a European flavor as well as one larger sunset piece. All of the Hafen studies are decidedly interesting and indicate that genius in a special line is occasionally transmitted. The larger Hafen is a hill bathed in the cool warm shadows of evening, except the very tip, where an outcropping of sandstone is touched into splendor by thS lingering rays of a westering sun, while above the hill edged with? deep orange gold some summer clouds hover. It is a typical western picture that any lover of the west will enjoy. The exhibit will hang until March the Charles H. Whittaker library. 16.

P. Hendersop ,of according the-B- . Y. U. The acceptance oT'the challenge required man to lse his physical and intellectual powers;, its makes him a parasite. Dr. Henderson gave expression to. the idea in a chapel talk before the students of the university Monday morning. He began his discussion by reading from the first chapter of Genesis, the commands to plants, animals and man to multiply and replenish the earth. To man came the additional command to subdue the earth, and have dominion over all living things. The commands to multiply and replenish instituted the greatest competition ever known. If any one, form of life were permitted to multiply unchecked it would soon fill the whole earth, but checks destroy the majority of all life. Some forms of plant and animal life are too indolent to fight for existence, and become parasites. They live on what has been by others. This is tjue also of mankind. The number that accept the intellectual challenge of God to subdue the earth and have dominion js small compared with those who; should. The parasites produce nothing new; from them come the degradation and misery of the earth. We cannot subdue without effort.

Chief of Police Wren Wilkins was emphatic in his statement this morning that from now on the bicycle ordinance prohibiting the riding of bicycles on certain sidewalks of the city will be strictly enforced. This is the second and last notice, said Chief Wilkins;, and from now on anyone violating the ordinance will be arrested and fined. We have given plenty cf warnings, but it appears that the bicycle riders have. not taken us seriously. We are not going to have the public accuse our department of laxity, when accidents happen. We are going to see to it that the pedestrians can use the sidewalks in safety. The decision of the chief was made this morning when he was notified that last evening a bicycle rider ran y son of Eugene over a .between Ninth and Tenth West on Center street. The bicycle knocked the little fellow down and ran over his shoulders, hut was not seriously injured.
