Today's Real Magic Not so many years ago, the black, greasy, tarlike, thick iluid that was a residue in the coke-making process was simply burned as fuel.? No other use, could be found for it; but today the same stuff ia carefully divided into its rough .parts tar, ammonia and light oils. From the treated tar comes creosote oil, . used in the preservation of railroacTties and other wooden objects; pitch, used in roofing, in water-proofing concrete and in the manufacture manu-facture of briquets and electrodes; napthalene, employed in making moth balls and in many sorts of plastics ; and phenol, used in the manufacture of plastics, such as-telephdne reeiv-l ers, radio panels, automobile trimming, and bottle tops. ' .The light oils are treated and from them -are derived benzol and. toluol. Benzol blended with gasoline makes a su-perior su-perior motor, fuel. Its solvent qualities make benzol import-arit import-arit in the manufacture of paints, varnishes, stains, lacquers ' and paint and grease removers. Toluol is used in the manufacture manu-facture of one of the deadliest of high explosives, T. N.

And chiefly it is beneficent, not black magic. - , Despite wars and a thousand other evils, man marches on. " 'Aid For Lepers Leprosy is one of the oldest of known diseases. It is mentioned and described in the Bible. Sometimes in darker ages lepers were shot to death to get rid of them. Mostly they were shunned, shut off from the rest of the population and left to die without medical or religious care. But in recent years all that has changed. Great Catholic Catho-lic and Protestant missions have interested themselves in the fate of lepers and devoted men and women have gone out to lonely, isolated places to help them and try to cure them. . The American Mission to Lepers, an organization supported sup-ported by many Protestant denominations, has Just made an encouraging and surprising report. Despite a war-torn world, it has received more money for its work this year "than in any preceding period. Together with a" sister organization in Britain, it cared for 150,000 lepers in 200 colonies in 48 countries. ' "I am my brother's keeper" still rings true for many people who practice . their religion with their deeds rather 'than with words. - ir: ' " 1 ' " " ' " !

CARROLL I was thinking: of the often-quoted often-quoted line, "I'm a part of all that I have met." If thoae words of the poet are true, how Important it Is that we meet the right people and things, have the right experiences. exper-iences. Will Rogers used to say, "All I know la what I read in the papers. Sometimes we get significant signifi-cant lessons on life from reading the newspapers. JLongr long ago there was an amazing account in the ' papers of the suicide of a young seventeen-year old girl. She left a 'note In which she 'said: 'There's nothing left in life that seems thrilling or worth while. I'm quitting." In that same paper was a story, of a woman eighty-three eighty-three years old who -was beginning the study of a new language. She was. already the master p seven. She knew the literature ;jof those languages. . Now, at the age of eighty-three, she like Tennyson's Ulysses (the character who declared de-clared that He was a part of all that he had met) was still "roaming "roam-ing with a hungry heart." This old lady,, like the ancient Greek, wants inpdrink life to the lees"; she, tooees "all experience as an arc through; which gleams that untraveled world whose margins fade for ever and ever" when she moves. Learning one new language lan-guage opened up enticing avenues into another and another. Contrast Con-trast her full, rich life with that of the young girl. The one finds the world at eighty-three offering adventure, full of exciting things to do; the other, at seVenteen, regarded re-garded it as an empty husk to be thrown away in disgust. Other illustrations, from the newspapers emphasize the difference differ-ence between people of the same world, but coming into contact with different aspects of that ; -r- Match wprld. On one page of a newspaper news-paper I saw the story of a youthful youth-ful bandit who robbed a shoe-shiner, then, fearing apprehension.' murdered', his victim. On another page was an account of a young Englishman, Bunny, Austin, number num-ber one amateur tennis player of the world who had declined to enter en-ter the. contest the year his country coun-try became engaged in war, and from that time had been devoting his time and talents to the-Moral Rearmament movement fostered by a group of high-minded persons per-sons who were attempting to save the world from the catacylsm. Into which It has since fallen. Young Austin is a graduate from Cambridge, Cam-bridge, ,a top-ranking sportsman, a crusader for the infusion of honesty, hon-esty, purity, unselfishness and love into the homes and businesses throughout the world. What a contrast con-trast are his motives and activities to those of the robber and murQer-er. murQer-er. Such Illustrations make us ponder pon-der what experiences each type of Individual had had to make him so different from his opposite. They make us pause to think about the kinds of people, and experiences we want to meet in order to make our lives fall into the pattern we wish for them. For though what we are depends to some - extent upon heredity certainly environment environ-ment has a great part in moulding .our destinies. Fortunately it is without our power, because we have, a free will, to determine to a large extent what wiU be the things we meet that will become a part of us. There are so many things to choose from that it seems strange anyone could, find life empty of all interest at seven teen. Ulysses reminds us that there are so many wonderful ex periences possible, that "Life piled on life were all , too little" In which to help our personalities and characters develop as richly as they may. , Mrs. Edna Hill entertained twenty guests at a bridge party Wednesday night.

Many Provo young men between the ages of 17 and 28 have entered enter-ed the different branches of the U. S. service. Among those boys is one who might well boast of his claim to the unusual. Foch Benevent was born November 11, 1918, and was named for that beloved French leader, Marshall Foch, The Benevent family moved from Provo to Ogden'- in 1922. After the death of the father, Gus Benevent, ta 1935, they returned 'to Provo to make their home. Foch is a graduate of the Provo high school. He joined the na tional guard at the age of 17, and was a member of that unit when they- were inducted into government service last spring. He is now a staff sergeant in the medical detachment, 145 F. A. stationed at San Luis Obispo, California. Cali-fornia. Last Sepembter, Foch spent his twenty-day furlbugh with his mother, Mrs. Pearl Benevent, and his brother, Paul, in Provo Many parents had two, or three, sons in the service at the same time during 1917 and 1918, but, Mr. and Mrs. Don C. Williams, of 338 South Third East, are perhaps, one of the few couples who had a son in the U, S. service during the World war period and also have a son in the service now. Their eldest son, Lloyd, entered the U. S. army in September 1917,i at' the aee of 19. i Earl, their youngest son, who was 24 last February, entered he service November 13, 1941. He was graduated from the Provo high school spent two years in the New England mission field, and was a student at the B. Y. U. He also had been attending the local' school of aeronautics, and had been permitted to "solo" twice daily for several days. Earl hopes to be placed in the aviation avia-tion branch of the service. . TRYOUTS SLATED j Brigham Young university debaters de-baters and speakers will participate, partici-pate, in the annual speech tournament tourna-ment sponsored by the Western Association of Teachers of Speech td be held at Weber junior college col-lege November 17, 18 and 19. : -Tryouts for those interested in attending the meet will be held Thursday at 4 p. m., according to Dr. Harold T.

Frank C. Robertson's talk was a classic Mrs. Margaret P. Maw; having changed her subject at the request of many of the group, talked instead, in-stead, on the material that Is going go-ing Into her book. She presented her material- in a vivid, humorous way that bids well for the content of the text. For that is what the book la to be a text for beauty culturists. She has so much material, ma-terial, such first hand Information Informa-tion and experience, that it "threatens to; be like the bride's rice' " she said. It is promised the publishers in April. - - Frank C. Stressed, among other things, - the demand for non-fiction books. In fact he came home so imbued with the possibilities of such material that he dashed into one' himself. And. has written writ-ten 85,000 words in three weeks! Most of us 'don't get that much done in a year. (How do they get that way ? ) But, we sigh, . when we've had sixty-seven novels published pub-lished we'll be able to do the same way we hope. Frank is a born story teller. He's much like the man in the following story: A young would-be composer come to Beethoven and asked him how to write a symphony. Beethoven advised him to learn to write simple lyrics first, because of his youth and Inexperience. "But," the young man complained, com-plained, "you wrote a symphony when you were eleven years old!" "Yes, but I didn't have to ask how," Beethoven said. Certainly Frank C. Robertson is an inspiration to the writers' group and to his readers who know him at all well. "But it's a heart-breaking game," he said. "Keep Writing a hobby; work at it as you would a Job, but enjoy it. Onoe it becomes a profession, much of the fun is gone." For most of us that's sound advice. ad-vice. Many of the writers of today to-day have no intention of becoming be-coming professional. It is the medium through which we get urges off our chest, to the pleasure pleas-ure or groairings of the public. It's a grand hobby.

Ed Walczak, battering bat-tering 220-pound fullback, plowed across on a straight, center-plunge. Disconsolately Pete Laird saw State's line sag nd realized the crew was being outcharged for the first time that year. . The Gophers kicked goal and after less than one minute of play, State those vaunted bone-crushers .of football trailed by seven points. Laird's throat was dry. 'The ball catapulted down field, and Pete, Laird speared it on the five.' State players moved ahead but there was none of the scythelike scythe-like blocking to shake Laird loose. A golden wave buried him on the 20 and buried him hard. He felt as if a tank had. hit him broadside. broad-side.

A mounting rage was kindling within him. In the middle of the second quarter, State had to punt from deep in Its own territory. Pete dropped back, was rushed badly when Roskauer missed his block and got off a flimsy boot which sailed askew out of bounds 15 yards up field. : Pretty lousy, Hollywood.' sneered Dober as he passed. . Viciously Minnesota struck. A Gopher halfback faded and tossed a pass in Pete's territory. Foggily he faded back, saw big Ox Anderson, Ander-son, Gopher end, cutting behind him, and leaped.
