Provo should not l;e too hasty in carrying out the proposal propo-sal of the city administration to meter all domestic water users 100 per cent at a cost of $40,000. Such a plan was recently re-cently broached by Mayor Mark Anderson. Full and complete com-plete discussion should be given to every phase of the water question at a series of public hearings before such a project is launched. Complete metering is justifiable in any community, only in the event of a scanty water supply which demands the most economical use possible. The experience of the last few years, including an extreme ex-treme drought period, have demonstrated that Provo is well supplied with water for all legitimate civic purposes on a flat rate basis for domestic users. Compulsory metering will tend to reduce the volume of water consumed, very materially, no matter how low the rate is fixed. There will be fewer lawns and flower beds to beautify beau-tify the city. The city water department will probably have a water surplus on its hands, while the citizens deny themselves them-selves legitimate use of water in order to reduce the water bill. Irrigation law permits no ownership or title in water, except to the extent that it is put to beneficial use. Water allowed to run to waste is subject to claims by others who can establish the ability to put it to beneficial use. There might be a danger that by universal metering Provo would lose part of its present water supplies. Granted that the city h:is $40,000 available to spend in its water denartmpnr. it's a finest ion in the minds of manv taxpayers whether it would be t -11 j a 4 to sperm it an ior water meters, n water meters are guui& to create a water surplus, do we want such a surplus at this time when we have contracted for an abundant supply from the Deer Creek project? These are some of the questions that should be answered before we embark on an expensive metering projet. Eventually, Event-ually, perhaps, when the city doubles its population, water meter installation may be necessary. Whether this is the time to do it or not, is the question that confronts every taxpayer in the city. The Herald would like to hear the views of city officials and citizens alike on this question.

Youngsters and Music It is almost useless for parents to force their children to take music lessons if the parents themselves don't at- tempt to study music, or learn to play some instrument, ; says Rov D. Welch, professor of music at Princeton univer- sity. The professor is asking for a lot of criticism from indignant indig-nant mothers ! The case against him is this: There are a lot of men and women' who have never had the time or money to study music, much as they would have liked to. But thru their efforts they are able to give their children some musical education. It's a pretty stiff jolt to tell them that their own lack of opportunity has handicapped their youngsters. If the professor will think the matter over he'll realize that there's got to be some starting place in a musical family.

I Was Thinking ; By ELSIE C. CARROLL ABOUT BOOKS I was thinking as I unwrapped a new book that came to me In the mail today what a different world ours would be if we did not have books. Of course they give us trouble sometimes. Perhaps there's many a school boy who would at times vote to have all the books in the world dumped into the ocean or would shout with glee at the sight of them going up in a great conflagration. But books that take us out of our own limited limit-ed little world into the larger world we would never enter without them what a blessing! Lowell once said "Millions of children are introduced yearly into bookland and it is a matter of greater importance than what congress con-gress does, providing these boys and girls with the means of happy co:npanionship with the wisest and witt.'ast of our race." Envious of Teachers I have always been a bit envious en-vious of teachers of the beginners' grade who have the privilege of opening the magic gates to BOOK-LAND BOOK-LAND to eager-eyed little children. chil-dren. It's a wonderful thing, the ability abil-ity to read It is the key which admits us to the whole world of thought and fancy and imagination; imagina-tion; to the company of saint and sage. Through it we are enabled to see with keen eyes, listen with finest ears to the sweetest voices of all time. More than all, books annihilate time and space for us; they revive for us without a miracle mir-acle the Age of Wonder, "endowing "endow-ing us" as someone has said, "with shoes of swiftness and the cap of darkness so that we walk invisible and watch unharmed the great plagues of the world, the battles, and share the great triumphs of nations and individuals." Books Select Society "Manv people struggle to get themselves or their children into 1 what is called good haps they don t reali society. Per- i ns thev don l realize mai tnere is a select society of all centuries to which they and theirs can be ndm.vted for the asking, a society without excuse, or waste of time and health faculties." "The riches obtaineil from books defy fortune and outlive calamity." calam-ity." Is it any wonder that Milton exclaimed, "As good almost kill a man as a book, for a good book is the precious L'le-blood of a master spirit, embalmed and treas- i ured up on purposes of life beyond life." Carlyle declared that "The True university of these days is a collection col-lection of books." Students who genuinelv love books need little help from teachers in their quest for an education The teacher is useful only as a guide and counselor. coun-selor. The word book has come to us from the Anglo Saxon word "beech." The ancient Saxon3 and Gorman wrote runes, secret symbols sym-bols used as magic, on pieces of beech board or bark. Tnese were bound together, and so we had our i first book. Egyptian Books The Ecrvptians used papyrus, a sort of fabric prepared from reeds They wrote on one side only, the other was painted wXh preservatives preserva-tives to protect the sheets from decay and insects. When such a sheet was filled with writing, it was rolled upon a cylinder and placed in a wooden box, or stone jar, or bronze chest for safe keeping. keep-ing. Today the great universities which posses these ancient manuscripts manu-scripts keep them under lock and key and guard them when schol-are schol-are are using them.

(To Be Continued) CRANIUM CRACKERS Butch Finnegan. 200 pounds of racketeer, was sentenced to a hospital hos-pital for the criminally insane for killing a rival gang leader. Although authorities took extra precautions and threw a heavy guard around Butch when he entered en-tered the institution, that guard was relaxed six months later when the prisoner was stricken with influenza in-fluenza and removed to a four-bed ward in the infirmary. Late one night as a staff doctor was making his rounds of Finne-gan's Finne-gan's ward, the gangster leaped suddenly from his bed as the physician was examining the temperature tem-perature chart of the patient in the bed adjoining his, drove a right to the head and one to the stomach that knocked out the physician before he had a chance to cry out. Working swiftly. Butch slipped on the physician's coat and trousers trou-sers and headed down the hall to freedom. However, a guard, posted post-ed at the opposite end of the hall near the elevator, glanced at Butch's retreating tiguie and immediately im-mediately sounded an .arm.

These are young married couples who play bridge together, first at the home, of one couple, then the other. One couple has a pair of cute little dogs which like to lie near the bridge players, sometimes some-times under the table. Engrossed one night in theii friendly game, with the pups under un-der the table as usual, the visiting lady "-'lipped" one of her slippers for" comfort's sake and, when one of the pups bumped against her liberated and stockinged toes, she "petted" him with her foot. The pup seemed to enjoy being stroked, strok-ed, and she continued massaging his neck with her foot. Of a .-udden it occurred to her that it was not overwise to leave a slipper unprotected with a pair of pups around, and she leaned down quickly to retrieve it. Only a lady of gentlest modesty will be able to appreciate her embarrassment em-barrassment when she saw that the two pups were peacefully arid blissfully stretched out clear across the table from her. and that she had been and still was petting her host's ankle with her toes. The story has nothing to do with brushes and brush men. but is distinctly related thru the fact that it cost me $1.02.
