@LG|ANS AGAIN
APPEAL TO HOOVER
Ask Assistance in Rebuilding
$Eouvain Library, Razed

L4pUVAIN, Belgium, January III
The collapse of the undertaking to re
huAds, the library of Louvain Univer-
sity, at a point when 100000
franCs is needed to complete the work
on which 1000, 600 francs already
mas been spent, has prompted Mgr.
Iadeuze. rector of the university. TO
appeal to Herbert Hoover, as presi-
dent of the committee for the relief
Of the Belgium educational founda-
ton.
''As you are aware" says a letter
sent to Mr.. Hoover, the construction
of the new library was undertaken
by an American group headed by Dr.
Nicholas Murray Butler some four
Years ago Unfortunately the re
sponse to their appeals has proved
, only partially successful and less than
one-third OF the necessary CUnstruC-
tion has been completed
This group has now informed US
that it is unable to complete the
building, which stands as a painful
reminder of fine, helpful enterprise.
which has up to the present failed"
Reviews Postwar Work
The letter then reviews the postwar
position of the university-the 20
600. GOO francs provided fi0m the Bel
eldH Itllel COMMISSION, "nlCn saved
II from col2nSe. and the fftE -thouSH d.
dollar subscription which MI Hoover
secured some months aGo.
After expressing reluctance to ap-
proach Mr.. Hoover again, the letter
continues:
1T was peculiarly an American un-
dertaking on an American promise,
and we have felt that perhaps you
and your colleagues would interest
yourselves in securing the necessary
assistance for us in the Iibrarys COM
pletion. The building is only one
third completed, representing an ex-
penditure OF 1000, 900 francs; it re
quires an additional expenditure of
abou. Il, coo 600"
In conclusion the appeal points out
that nothing Mr. Hoover has ever
undertaken for Belgium has not been
completed in the fullest sense" and
expresses the wish that, as the 500th
anniversary falls within a year, this
gift from America would be completed
by then.

is a lucky thing for the American

But the criminOlogists know better
They declare emphatically that the
prevalence of crime is a symptom Of
basic disturbance in our emotional
stability. When a people, they say
has a normal emotional life, every
thing goes smoothly and the nation
progresses. When it's emotional life is
abnormal, emotional instability shows
itself, with insanity and crime as
natural resultants. Automobiles, the
movies and jazz carried to extremes :;
complexity and artifciality Of life in
the big cities, and avocations that are
as strenuous as vocatiOns are the
causes they see of our emotional in

How about mental benefits? They
have seen many an object lesson Of
earth in the making-naked granite
peak, eroded valley, glacier, gorge
and moraine. They have been in a
vast exhibit in the national parks of
wild life-animal, bird and plant.
Surely they should have gained edu-
cationally. They have driven and
camped with people from every nook
and corner Of the United States-the
farmer from Nebraska, the banker
from Illinois, the merchant from Loui-
siana, the manufacturer from New
York, all with their women folks. Has
that not made for democracy?
Doctor Nature is exceedingly busy
in the national parks this summer.
The national park service reports,
with the season yet several weeks
from its peak, that all records for at
tendance will be broken. And that is
a good thing for the nation. For out
door recreation amid scenes of nat
ural scenic beauty is the best anti
dote for the many ills of our modern
civilization.
Doctor Nature in the national parks Is
showing her patients a wonderland.
At the Grand Canyon she is showing
them the most sublime spectacle in
all the world-and the worlds great
est exhibit of erosion. In Rocky
Mountain she takes them to the
Roof of the World" on the Con-
tinentaI Divide and shows them the
most remarkable collection of high
granite peaks and beautiful valleys
known to man. In Yellowstone they
are seeing more geysers than all the
rest of the world can show and buf-
falo and elk and moose and bear in
their native wilderness. In Mount
Rainier they are enjoying winter
sports in the snow in midsummer
and gazing upon the largest single
peak glacier syStem-a vast and i'm
pressive mountain with fits top snow
clad and with its flower belt between
ice and forest-clad slopes
And so on, wonder after wonder is
Doctor Nature showing her patients,
with lessons for the physical body,
for the mentality, for the soul. She
shows them majestic scenes, but even
more majestic is the response she
awakens in the human mind and soul.
For we are poor specimens indeed if
we are not bettered by association
with the beautiful and majestic In

Baskets.

p..i<4 land was the color
different and there
it was of a soft, soft green shade While
little ripping waves mounting and
breaking over some of the taller rocks
expressed themselves in terms of fluffy
white foam which as they broke were
spoken to by the sun.
A tiny hamlet was there by the
waters edge, a few little white painted
houses and old barns, and a white
lighthouse standing out beyond them
all with big light at its top and
bright red roof Rocks stood every
where-big, mighty gray rocks. Some
had been resting here for countless
years, lying down everywhere, so that
the paths and the roads were almost
all solid rocks. They could rest for
ever, these rocks, settled securely in
Mother Earth's broad lap.
In d sheltered part Of the cove
where the rock mounds stood high
about were small schooners and vessels
and sailboats and large rowboats, COW
cred with gatherings from the sea-
fish upon their decks, seaweed and
soft, Shiny, sea moss upon their old
hulks.
Below the lighthouse a great, smooth,
fat rock, like a gigantic table, spread
itself out. Children took their picnic
baskets and sat upon the rock and
played games upon it and took maps
upon it, and little dogs frisked about
cniffod of bo oIy tho
sides where the water came swirling
in, restlessly back and forth, back and
forth, running to tell the rock the
latest secrets of the sea. Rushing back
to find out from the sea more secrets
to tell the rocks. Even on the quietest
days the water came running back and
forth between the big cracks.
Between, and in and out from the
hamlet'S great rocks, were mounds of
grass that had now become warm. dry
hay. The women and the men were
gathering it up as quickly as they
could. At any time fog might come
in and dampen the sun dried hay and
they must take the time they could
when nature gave it to them.
Nature was not one to let them de-
eide when they should work and when
they should rest. She ordered things
her own way and they must not dispute
her, or waste any of the time she gave
them.
The hay smelt very sweet in the
warmth of the summer afternoon. All
the older children were helping, too.
Only the little ones and the dogs were
playing OK idling or dreaming away the
minutes and the hours.

Yosemite, Rocky Mountain and Mount
