Emerson. r Leadership Week Opens Monday Visitors by the hundreds will test Provo's hospitality this week, as the Brigham Young university throws wide ppen its doors to begin another Leadership Week at the church institution. Leadership Week, an event peculiar to the B. Y. U., has grown through the years to command a tremendous following follow-ing throughout the west wherever Latter-day Saint wards andstakes have been organized. Most of those who attend have been here at previous sessions, and this year they are bringing more of their friends and relatives with them to share the benefits to be gained out of the diversified program pro-gram of educational offerings. Provo people will open their homes for hundreds of the visitors and the city will join with the school in extending a warm welcome to all of them. May their stay here be one of pleasure and happiness, as well as helpful information and spiritual inspiration. Every citizen should take it upon Himself Him-self to be friendly and hospitable to the visitors in our midst, in order that their stay may be as pleasant and profitable as possible." Hostels For Youths By this summer the whole northwest will be honeycombed honey-combed with hostels for youth, according .to Miss Nancy Jane Reasoner, who is in charge of providing lodgings for young travelers in the area. It will soon be possible- for young folks on bicycles to travel thousands of miles thru our natural wonderland at a cost of only a dollar a- day. This plan of letting American youth learn about its own , country is bound to work out as well here in the west as it has in the east. Rather than hiting the main highways, they will travel the leisurely back roads, getting the finest of educations by actually meeting people as they live. Hotels don't need-toworry about being cut out of tourist trade. The youngsters who stop in these simple hostels over night wouldn't be able to afford hotels at any rate and they will get a taste for travel which, as they grow older, will mean money for the hotel men. Youngsters on bicycles; clean, well-chaperoned rest houses; our natural wonderland thru which to tour we c$n't think of any happier combination ! More power to the legs of young America when they take to their wheels this summer and may they have no flat tires! v Mothers Who Write r A majority of the students who are taking writing in America's night schools are married women, many of them mothers, according to a survey just taken by the National Evening Education institute. s If this great crop of writing mothers shuuld bature into professional writers, what a flood of drama would be ttuned loose on America ! Because, within each home there is a great world of excitement, ex-citement, pleasure and tragedy known to the housewives and mothers. The husbands, away from home during the day, can barely see this little world within the home. There is the daily parting, and the joyful reunion when the youngster returns from school The tragedy of the old plate that breaks The excitement of the furnace that gets out of order just when Aunt Minnie is due for a visit. The incidents of just one day in a housewife's life could be written so that it would be a classic! Probably these stories will never be written. Most of these studious mothers will get their reward in the pleasant emotional outlet of study, which takes them away from the world of pots and pans into the dream land of fiction. However, out of these thousands of mothers who are studying there will undoubtedly be one or two, rich in the experiences of life, who will be able to write of those experiences experi-ences that the world may understand. Most of the great women writers havejbeen wives and mothers. January Clearance Slightly Used VACUUM CLEANER Late Model A Snap New $89.50 LIVING ROOM $7.95 OCCAS.

The heck of it is in thesre days that darn few usurers ever seen the inside of a penitentiary and yet- the woods seem to toe fairly fuU of them. There are at least as many of them as there are highwaymen. high-waymen. In Bible times any man who charged another money for the use of money was called a usurer. Interest was usury. But that is another story. Custom and the law make it legal now to charge what is known as a fair wage on money loaned. It is the slippery rascals who use another's misfortune misfor-tune as occasion to gouge him for interest far beyond the legal limi .who draw my anger and contempt. My first experience with usury came as a boy. Working in a machine shop where many boys of high school age were employed employ-ed as helpers and apprentices, I, like the others, needed more money than came in the skimpy Saturday night envelopes. Two brothers, smiling, oily fellows fel-lows w,ho always had plenty of money, "staked" the younger set to small loans, as they were needed, need-ed, along about mid-week. A dollar, maybe two, sometimes even three that would be the extent of any individual's borrowing. bor-rowing.

Each dollar borrowed had t6 be accompanied by a nickel in interest in-terest when it was repaid. For two dollars, a dime. For three, 15 cents. Even if the loan was made on Thursday or Friday, the interest inter-est on each dollar was a nickel. This made the interest rate range from 260 per cent upward. No wonder the oily ones always smiled. I helped put the jinx on that racket. Young as I was, and not even knowing the term "usury," i knew that was wrong. Some of us went to the shop superintendent superintend-ent and got him to take the banking bank-ing business of the youngsters on oenalf of a mutual shop fund, which paid for equipment for our baseball teams, for noontime coffee cof-fee to go with our lunches, and so forth. Later the interest rate vas cut 80 per cent. A horse thief, I think, is honorable hon-orable as compared to a usurer. Bright Moments in Great Lives Horace Greeley, one of the greatest editors in the history of American newspapers, was often so engrossed in his work that he would forget to eat. A man visiting visit-ing the office one afternoon heard Greeley say: "Jonas, have I been to dinner?" "You ouglit to know oest; I don't know." Greeley then turned to another and said: "John have I been to dinner?" "I believe not," the man replied, turning to another, "Has he Tom?" And they all agreed Mr. Greeley had not- been to dinner, so he picked up his hat and strolled out.

The: Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks" was founded in New York City on February 16, 1868 and originally bore the name of The Jolly Corks. Later this name was changed to the one it now bears! In the seventy-one years of its existence the order has never departed from the basic principles which it originally espoused. It was formed to practice prac-tice the four cardinal virtues: Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity; to promote the wel fare and enhance the happiness of its members; to quicken the spirit ,of American patriotism and to cultivate good fellowship. The history of the Elks is a history of accomplishment in the public good. Its manifold charitable char-itable and welfare activities are too well known to require repetition. repeti-tion. During the World War the Elks war work was outstanding; It equipped the first hospital in this country for the rehabilitation of our soldiers and gave it to the government. After the war, the Elks created a huge revolving fund from which were made loans to veterans in dire need of finan cial assistance. Nearly 40,000 such loans were made. Today some half a million members of this order are carrying carry-ing on the work which has won for the Elks a high place in na tional esteem-.

Leaving Provo, they journeyed to Phoenix, Ariz., for the Yuletivle; then on to Needles, Calif.; Lords-burg, Lords-burg, N. M.; El Paso, Texas; and at Laredo, Texas, started the journey toward Mexico City over the new all-weather highway. Particularly interesting they found Mpnterey, Mexico, and its industrial progress, strikingly similar simi-lar to that in this nation. Near Victoria mountainside-plantings of corn tamped home by the natives' bare feet proved another quaint experience. Then from mountains of 7,000 to 8,000 feet altitude they dropped to the near-sea level of tropical Mexico in 45 miles. On Mexico's City 5,000-foot plateau plat-eau they found the weather strikingly strik-ingly like local Septembers. Mr-Vincent Mr-Vincent met with the Rotary club and the Provo couple visited with Dr. Horace G. Merrill of San Diego, former Provoan. After visits to Taxco, Xacham-ilico, Xacham-ilico, Cuernavaca, Toluca and other nearby points of interest they continued to highway's end on the Pacific at Acapulco, before beginning their returned trip to Laredo, San Antonio, Denver and Provo.
