To scanner of proposed laws- who considers the type of those offered it smacks of a determination by progressives to obtain speedy action. To the old time frequenter of legislative halls it spells a new regime. And perhaps an embattled one. The senate during its first week of rapid-fir- e action established another precedent by being the first legislative branch to propose enactment of what is usually described as labor legislation. In recent sesslong it has been tbe deemed in the interest of labor. During the 1935 session practically all of such legislation was proposed by three or four members of what was called the "labor bloc. It 1s different this session. Already at least six labor bills" have been introduced in the upper house. Four of these were introduced by senators serving their second ' session. Two were authored by a new member. One was killed in the last tliev-Acpc- a i WE BECOME WINTER (Continued from Page 1) session.

BARRETT Kepler, when he discovered thd three laws of planetary motion, "I thank Thee, God, that I can think Thy thoughts after Thee." A celebrated scientist once remarked to the writer who was visiting in h i s laboratory, "Here is where I discover the hidden secrets of na- ture." Both of these statements dearly, Indicate that we are living .in an orderly world which is controlled by law and not mere chance. The reign of law always presupposes reason or purpose. Nature throbs with a definite and convincing purpose which Is dearly mani-- i tested when we sincerely investigate !her methods. In the summer time, we have ' abundant harvests,' and fruits of the .orchard. Natures purpose in her productive processes is to create food for the sustenance of life. Deep down under the earths surface are inexhaustible beds of coal, rivers of oil, countless areas of gas, all of which minister to the security, t, and g of the race. We cultivate our gardens in order that we may enjoy the beauty of rich colors, fragrance of roses, and the symmetry and loveliness of flowers. Nature s purpose is to enhance the fo- environment, as man, , , com-for- well-bein- -- ti. e, 'Mmseir in 'beautifying tnat environment. Supreme purpose is evident in all of nature's methods. If the world is shot through with purpose, if every common bush is afire with law and order, then surely, we expect to find the same true when we consider the crowning work of creation, human personality. But is it true? Do we find purpose dominating the human race? Much time is spent in arguing whether this is a friendly world. If a proportionate amount of time were used to discover the underlying purposes which motivate the works of the human race, there would be less energy squandered, and more enthusiasm expressed. Have you ever honestly asked yourself the question, "What Is the directing purpose of my life? or Why am I alive?" What is the most important factor in a man's life? Is it the strength of his body, the keenness of his mind, or the sincerity of his character? Surely, all are important aspects, but the latter is of dominant concern: for a man's character shows what he has really accomplished with body and with brain. The only permanent impression one leaves upon life is the pure gold of a sincere character that commands the respect, trust, and loyalty of others. Mind and body are of no greater importance than the character they enshrine. Purpose of character is a boundless task in whose infinitude, as in the unfolding light and law of love, abides our hope, and our eternal joy." sports conscious YOU National Parks OffSr V?i-ct- y of Facilities. CAM urniture Tom, Dick and Washington. are making their marks on Harry the slopes of the countrys greatest mountains these days faint, narrow, exhilarating ski tracks in. the snow.. . America grows more and more winter sports conscious and is learn--. ing that the grandest ski slopes, snow vistas, icy skating rinks and toboggan slides lie within its national parks. Of the country's 28 national parks, all but three are open the year round to some extent and winter sports may be enjoyed in many of them. In some, the snow lasts into the summer, permitting ski races on July, 4. . Acadia National pads, Maine, the only national .park wmere sea and mountains meet, has no regular winter schedule but it offers vistas of winter loveliness perhaps unsurpassed in all of New England, the eastern center of winter sports. It offers natural skating rinka, framed by growing Christmas trees, and nearly 20 square miles for winter hikers on snowshoes. Mount Rainier National park, Washington, and Yosemite, Sequoia, .and General Grant, California, its fellows of the High Sierra, and National park, Rocky Mountain Colorado, afford gentle slopes for ski novices who need to build up courage as well as experience, and tricky, intricate, exciting courses which challenge even champions. Mount Rainier has been the scene of national championships held as preliminaries to the Olympic games. Popularity Increases. Crater Lake National park in Oregon and Lassen Volcanic National park in California are increasing in winter popularity and are the scenes of winter festivals when weather conditions permit access to the' parks: This year for tho first time the road to Manzanita lake in Lassen will be kept open and accommodations provided for the large number of visitors expected to try the. new snow course there. Last year more than a thousand came in spite of uncertain roads and absolute lack of' facilities for caring for visitors.' In the Great Smoky ' Mountains National park, North Carolina, and Tennessee, and Shenandoah National park, Virginia, there is an increased interest in winter' sports and some preliminary consideration of development, although the snow does not have such great staying qualities there. In Morristown National Historical park. New Jersey, there are natural skiing areas. Even in Yellowstone, which closes for the winter, the park personnel has winter skating and skiing at Mammoth, and a recent report from Hawaii tells of an intrepid ranger and his son who found show high on a volcanic slope within the Hawaii National. park and went skiing. In all of these parks, there are very few artificial ski slides or toboggan slides. The national park service has adopted a definite policy of stressing the winter beauties of its parks and of opening them to all winter sports lovers on an informal basis, which will provide equal opportunity for enjoyment to amateur and professional. It opposes erection of ony equipment that might mar the scenic value and ter; rain of the park. In most of the western parks, there is sufficient snow to form natural toboggan slides, and the .mountain slopes provide natural ski jumps and runs. Skiing Is Favorite...., Although skiing seems to be far and away the most popular sport, there are so many other things to do in national parks in winter time that visitors find it hard to crowd them all in without setting back the clocks. which means Skating, riding on skis while holding tightly to the lengthened bridle of a d d riding with a steed replacing a motor boat for power, placid but still exciting contemplation of the really breath-takinwhite beauty of the parks, slalom running, which means dangerous and fast down hill skiing with sharp turns, tobogganing, and sitting in front of great log fires to thaw out are all on the program. The parks also have their own unique sport, developed, the story goes, by a former director of the park service. It is called "ash canning" and is one of the most popular diversions in Yosemite, Mount Rainier and Sequoia. Equipment for it consists of an ash can lid, minus the handle, a burlap bag for a cushion, and courage. The brave sportsman or sportswoman sits in the lid, is given a push at the top of a mild toboggan slide, and goes whirling around and around and down to the bottom or perhaps head over heels into a nearby snow drift several feet deep.

The United States is nations in syntheall outstripping tic chemistry, it is declared in the American Chemical society's annual review of scientific progress. The huge tonnages of synthetic products used in this country are daily increasing and their variety widening at a rate far greater than can be equaled in any other country of the world," it is said. "Frequent announcements from abroad of new synthetic products have continually caused a momentary stir in men's minds. The announcement, for example, that a chocolate bar which looks like soap but tastes like chocolate has been synthesized in Germany from coal-ta- r raw materials and actually marketed appears at first to indicate that our foreign brethren still lead us in cleverness. "However, when this and similar announcements are checked and their significance is evaluated, the impression is largely nullified. Similar agitation has been caused from time to time by reports of new synthetic rubberlike materials abroad, which often turn out to be more interesting than important; in this field particularly the United States, with at least two such synthetic materials in large scale com-- , mercial production, definitely leads the world. More and more the real advances of industry based on scientific discovery in the United States are becoming everyday articles of commerce which the man in the street fails to recognize as synthetic." The upturn in the chemical industry during 193G was so pronounced that well qualified chemists have become scarce, according to the review, which reports an accelerated demand for chemical equipment, particularly abroad.
