THE LIBRARY ARTIST
Once again as the self appointed guardian of student health, welfare, and general morals—especially the latter—does this column punch on the keys of a battered typewriter. Our feeble voice is raised once more in protest, this time because our first official post-vacation contact with the University came through the medium of the library.
It was to this center of educational lore that we first repaired after a return from what was, at the most, only a mediocre vacation. With a wild look in our eyes we begged the bored attendant on duty at the desk for a necessary text. The cryptic, "Sorry, but evidently it has been stolen," was almost the last straw. Perhaps after all some people are right in their contention, and education does not pay.
The chronic book-staler is an evil that seems destined to be a permanent part of the University world. Motivated by sheer thoughtfulness and selfishness, he is something that must be endured. But it does seem rather incongruous that one who has reached the supposed level of intelligence essential to matriculation at the University should be lacking in the fundamental, simple human virtue known as honesty.
In all probability this person will some day stride up for his cheekspin and be coronarily labeled an individual of some attainments. All of which means that hypocrisy sometimes bears profitable dividends.
COOSE STEP
Militarism in Germany, which the allied powers tried so hard to crush after the late war, is now flowering anew under the Hitler dictatorship. The suffering brought about by the Prussian military organization seems to be forgotten in this new chaotic mixture of physical education, racial animosity, and extreme "patriotism."
In a recent news reel enthusiastic crowds were shown cheering Hitler after one of his recent accomplishments. Most of the crowd were Nazi storm troopers. One of the wildly waving hands bad been torn by shrapnel. Could it be that this man in this short length of time, has forgotten the harriers of war?
Hitter is sitting on a powder mine. By driving the opponents under cover he is increasing the danger from outbreaks. He is likely to blast himself out of his new position.
WORRIED SENIORS
Already the horror of semester finals is beginning to cast a large black shadow on the sunny spring horizon. When the last vacation has ended, there is nothing left to which to look forward but June which spells graduation, but before graduation, final examinations. Other differentiated seniors are turning white-haired at the thought of possible failure at the last minute—that is, all except the seniors in the School of Fine Arts.
The School of Fine Arts has a ruling by which geniors making A
or B average in a course are exempt from the final examination in that course. As a result, students who have kept up their grades during the semester can have a good time while tests are going on.
Such a system should prove just as successful in the College as it has in the School of Fine Arts. It would take a lot of strain off the minds of seniors at a time when any relief from worry would be especially welcome. At least the plan should be given a trial.
THE CAMPUS BOOK BATH
The rain of yesterday and today brought to light a condition which has been an inconvenience to the Watson library staff for some time, and one which seems to be an inexcusable fault calling for remedy. Were it for hurried efforts of library employees, books in the graduate cubicles behind the book stacks in the south section of the building are liable to injury or ruin during every rainstorm in which the wind is from the south. The window panes in the south wall might almost as well not be there for all the good they do in preventing entrance of water. The rain beats in about the window frames, splashes and drips over the desks (the tops of some of them are cracked now, presumably from previous rains), and runs over the stack floors. Library attendants run about like country housewives putting pails under the larger streams of rainwater. Books do not need a wetting down like cuniversals or nature-
Books do not need a wetting down like cucumbers or nasturtiums to be useful or ornamental. If a rain should come up in the night, many of the volumes left on these desks could be damaged beyond repair. The expense of providing these windows with weatherstrips should not be excessive compared to cost in depreciation of library equipment and possible loss of books. The library should be a place to protect books, not to bathe them.
WHITE HORSES
Students who went home by automobile for the Easter vacation probably experienced that bored feeling which comes to all tourists who make long steady journeys. Those who had to travel over a hundred miles probably found the experience especially tedious.
A little game with which few people are acquainted has been developed to relieve the monotony of long automobile trips. It is not very complicated; in fact, it does not even have a name. It is a means, however, of passing the time, and its competitive nature keeps the travelers alert and interested.
The game is as follows: When one of the party sees a white horse he calls, "Zip-Fifteen," if he sees a dog, any kind of dog, he yells, "Dog-Five." The first member of the group to reach a score of fifty wins the game.
BASIC ENGLISH— A FOUNDATION
There have been, in the history of literature and the study of language, proposals for numerous artificial languages. Of all that have been proposed, one, Esperanto, remains, and it has relatively few adherents. All language innovations up to the present time have been synthetic, and therein 'ies their weakness.
Recently, however, there has been conceived a language called Basic English, constructed on the solid base of a living tongue, that seems to have possibilities as an actual, usable medium of international intercourse. Composed of only 850 words, it can be learned by foreigners with comparative case, and can be made to answer almost every purpose of a language.
Simple and interesting, isn't it?
That the future will require a universal language is almost certain. International radio broadcasting is definitely on the increase, and world intercourse in the fields of trade, science, education, governmental diplomacy, and in many others, demands some means of common understanding among the people of the world as a whole.

Why, the governor might be asked, should not this action become a precedent? Can a state harboring the acknowledged center of the country's crime element afford to be too efficient in the business of killing eighteen-year-old boys? Must the authorities, in their endeavors to "make a good showing?" continue to prosecute such cases as these while gangsters terrorize the state's largest city? Is this justice? If we can strike at public enemies only when they fail to pay their income taxes, then certainly we are under no moral obligation to murder an eighteen-year old boy for a single act of wrong-doing.

The students demand beer in the Memorial Union. Congress has declares the beverage to be non-intoxicating and therefore the question of morals cannot enter into the situation to deter the regents from making their decision. In order to avoid the legalist reveals that there is no law against the sale of beer in the Union. The problem rests with the regents. Certainly student opinion is overwhelmingly in favor of beer in the rathkeller. That picture represents a has been a shallow spectre of what it should be long enough. With the sake it would come into its own more as the center of gravity, as it were.
CHEMICAL ENGINEERS;
In announcing his decision, the governor declared that he did not want his action to become a precedent in future cases involving minors who committed murder, thereby virtually admitting that he was making an exception in this case for reasons he did not care to reveal.
WHY NOT A PRECEDENT?
The governor of Illinois has recently commuted the sentence of Russie McWilliams from death to life imprisonment. The 18-year-old youth who confessed to the shooting of a street-car conductor while intoxicated and who was sentenced to the electric chair on three different occasions, and twice granted a new trial, will not die but will spend the rest of his life in a prison cell.

SYNOPSIS
CHAPTER L - "Tom" Belknap, big timber operator, ordered by his physicians to take a complete rest, plans a visit to the university of advancement he has made to his son John, just commencing in the business, are broken, for no apparent reason. He is told that Paul Gorbel, Belknap's partner, whom John and other business associates of Belknap cordially dislike, is a bone of affection that would start without a complete understanding.
CHAPTER II - At Sheoostring, his train delayed by a wreck. John is ordered to leave the fight, his attackers realize it is a case of mistaken identity. John learns his father is believed to be in a foreign company. Bewareled and unbelieving, he seeks employment with the company. At the office he finds Gorbel with a gun. He tries to out. Gorbel does not recognize him. The girl is Ellen Richards, owner of the company. A letter he carries gives the woman a cape that cannot be dropped inadvertently, and John, knowing the facing against his girl, allows Ellen to believe that is
CHAPTER III. **Hell enrages John as her foreman.** A series of underwire goggles were invented by the Richards company culminates in the deliberate creaking of a locomotive.
CHAPTER IV--After hero effort CHAPTER V--After hero effort Adiline, admitting her illness, the conditions, begins to have a sentimental attachment for the girl which
CHAPTER V. *The Richards burn and stabbed in the back of a structure Joice finds and carries out the dead body of a stranger. He re-intervenes to believe his father could be put to such an act. Steele and Sherif Brushaway arrange to work together on
Out they went carrying axes. Up on to the first car John climbed and released the brakes. Jack knocked the blocks from the wheels. Back to the next, repeating the operation; a third block was thrown. The train stripped a bit as the freeds cars took up shack. Another wheel spin, more blocks were knocked out.
CHAPTER VI
The train was checking, grooming, as the froced cars on the far end strained and broke. He pulled over to the rear. As John mounted the third from the front he stirred a trifle. He ran into it.
The string was moving new, wheels of the last car sliding spaghetti. He grabbed the steering wheel and waving up his hand. He kicked the dog loose and spun the wheel.
"Snappy!" he yelled at Jack as he drowned into the snow.
"Jump!" yelled Tait as he stood aslide, and John jumped as the curs gained momentum on the grade.
Fresh snow, fallen on the logs, began to whip away in light, shattering blocks, in streamers of dust. Fire streams from a wheel as they swing another bend. The clatter of trucks and rail jalts was like wail on a roof.
The cars careened, they rolled, they jumped and bounced. The last, hanked along by the others, tilted and tipped dangerously on curves. It threatened to go over. It test a part of its body before slipping into the choppings, on along the sides of hills; through narrow ravines delouched into wider valleys; level track could not slow them; short slips had more than a barely perceptible grip. They broke over the last pitch, and any there might have seen the lights of Shoestring strung like nurred jewels through the snow a quarter of a mile away.
It seemed to Tait and John, standing there in the silence, that they could hear the clangor of those runways until they stopped. The sound came echoing back to them through the failing snow, faint and fainter, but still
John turned then and ran into th house.
Roberts answered his ring.
"And manna? It rained that, didn't it?"
"No. ravens brought—"
"Well, it come,啊but what I wanted to ask is, dj'uh ever hear of its rainin' sawlogs into a hungry milliward!"
"No. But I've prayed for it!"
"Fair enough, Roberts. And you know nothing else except that it rained logs on you tonight."
"That's all I want to know. I'm part clam. Good night!"
"Eh? You what? You prayed for it!" He could hear the man draw a great breath, "Well, Steele, I'm here. I was just watching you and real bad and real hadI'm got to you to pray about a dwarf's worth for me! Say, the'saw-laws丢 from b—to breakfast, in this hee yard. It'll be a good day. When now we can say for a week!"
part clam. 'Good night!'
John was in the cums office a few
minutes before he rang when the
telephone rang. It was an amazed and
bewildered Ellen.
"Do you know what happened?" she asked.
"Id heard, yes. Heard it tore up the main line."
"Oh.. . They fixed that in half an hour. Tiny was only a little late getting out. Of course, they're not our loses. What am I going to do?"
He was grimning. This was not the sort of thing to reveal wholly to a girl yet. Tactics such as this are men's tactics.
"I don't know. I've got to fix it up. So see how we can use their logs length." We can see how they're going to get them out without Jimmying us up. We'll have
Her "Oh," he thought, was a bit of mayed.
"Don't worry," he assured her.
This was not Ellen calling again. It was Burke, as John had known the man would call or come.
"Steele? Burke talking. That was a nice one somebody pulled!"
"I'm with you! Why the devil can't help your block their shoes so they're not running away and cluttering up other folk's milli-sards?"
"Say, you can forget that line right now! You know d-d well that those loads didn't run away!"
wen, if you know it all, prove something and suggest something."
"All right; we want our logs back!"
"Then go 'em and send 'em around by the main line."
"What wha? Why, thats a two-hundred-dollar bill to deliver those logs back to the crossing and stand a lawsuit if you put a single one of 'em through your door."
John grinned.
"We're no common carers," he said. "You've got us on the haund in you; we no hold on us the other way. It's up to you to prove that those logs are anything but a nuisance to the Richards company. We can't litter the van. If you don't get out at once we will have to see them. Is that all?"
"Walt a minute!"
The man evidently turned aside and cupped his hand over the transmitter while he talked with another.
"I've got nothing else to say except this; we expect to have our logs back at the crossing by the end of the week!"
"And you tell whoever's there coaching you that logs are cluttering things up down here. If they aren't lended to them, we'll start in sawing 'em. Goodbye!"
He slammed up the receiver and turned away, eyes laughing.
He was on shaky ground, he knew, but he had misgivings on only one side. He had been held firm in his stand that Gorbel might take the matter out of Burkels hand's grasp, but he did not want to confront Paul Gorbel yet; he was not ready to have his case heard. He pushed the possibilities at length and finally decided that the general manager of an operation as big as his own must be up in the employ of another company. He would let Burke do the rest of the talking for him as Burke had done just now.
"Say, Jack," he said, "where's Steele?"
He would not have been so comfortable had he been aware of one incident which transpired after supper when the driver, Mark and Jack Taut when a light driving team came trotting silently into camp. The driver stepped down, tied the near horse to a amplifier and steered the vehicle over a stride which bespoke determination. At the steps which led to the doorway he slowed, however. Light began to flash on a window upon his glance inside and stopped . . almost with a jolt.
John was standing where the rays of the hanging lamp fell on his face, holding pipe in one hand and burning matte in the other. The one outside watched John, closely, and moment he laughed softly to himself.
A man came out of the cook-shanty and walked towards the office. The visitor tugged at the visor of his for cap and turned to meet him.
"Ain't he in the office there?" the other countered. "Sure he is! That's his, standin' up there."
"Oh, thanks," and with a muttered
response, he walked away from the buildings. He
did no try; he untidied the one horse,

(To Be Continued)
Then Paul Gorbel pulled the horses to a walk and lighted a cigar. He smoked rapidly as he thought rapidly, and his heart beat as fast as headquarters tonight to threaten and badger this stranger named Steele who was going so far in upsetting the two captains that he had not talked to him, and not thought of stolen logs from the moment he looked through the window, the windows, the doors. Steele! He removed the cipher from his mouth and laughed once, briefly and without mirth. Then he cut his stomach, and took off his shoes on past his camp where he had planned to spend the night, speeding for Kampftak. . . , Let Durk handle matters masters commanded his attention.
