 Company officials directing the battle against the blaze near Brea succeeded in having all of the smaller surface tanks, In which the more volatile oil was stored, pump ed out, thus lessening the danger of the spread of the fire.

THE SEARCH FOR SUCCESS

NEAR the Navajo Reservation in
~ New Mexico, a tired prospector
stopped one evening at Old Laguna
just as the sun was sinking behind
the sage brush and cactus of the des-
ert
After dinner he engaged his host,
the grizzled proprietor of the little
inn, in discussion Of the surround
ing territory. He stated that he had
been prospecting for gold, but hadn't
had any luck for a long time. Little
by little he unfolded the story of his
life.
After listening patiently to his
guest for some time, the old pro-
prietor of the inn excused himself,
and reappeared in minute with a
large nugget Of yellow metal, which
he displayed in the palm of his hand.
The effect was electrical The pros
pector was no longer tired, but alive
and alert.
''Well, pardner," he drawled, eff I
know anything about gold, that's the
real thing. Ever had it assayed :"
Nope said the innkeeper. "Nev-
er run across no one that knew bout
ores. Picked it up one day bout TWEEN
ty years ago on the side of a hill
and just sorta KEEP it as a souvenir"
"Do you remember where you
found it-would you recognize the
place again." snapped the prospect
or.
"Sure," was the reply. "Taint more
than bout thirty mile from here"
The eyes of the prospector glowed.
There was yellow light in them. He
leaned forward and placed his hand
on the old timers knee. Way into
the night he talked, painting pictures,
of great wealth and what it would
mean for his friends declining years
and at length it was agreed that
they form company and share fifty
fifty in the profits of their gold mine.
Next morning the prospector and
the proprietor started off on horse
back for the foothills on the horizon.
All day, while riding along thru the
heat of the desert, they gloried in
the riches that lay just at their fin
gertips. Finally, toward evening as
the tired horses started up long
hill, the proprietor turned in his sad
die and said to his friend: "Now then,
as recalls, we're just about there.
On t'other side of this hill is the
spot"
But 10 and behold! When they
reached the top of the hill they looked
down upon the smoke stacks, sheds
and derricks of the Big Jerome, one
of the richest gold mines in the west.
That night two sad men turned
their horses back toward Old La
guna. They were ten years too late.
The moral Of this is quite simple
if you have an idea, for goodness sake
put it to work. Don't save it or you
may lose it.

RESPECT FOR LAW
CIVILIZATION, like football OF

HINlLlLAIlON, ike 1OotDdll oT
poker, is a game with rules. Play
ing the rules is good craftsmanship.
What the rules do not forbid may be
done with propriety. but what is for
hidden, must be avoided, not only for
fear of the penalty, but the more ser
ious charge of not being good sport.
Once it was considered proper to
break the rules if you could without
being found out Smuggling might be
INDUCED in if the referee was not
looking; even a card up ones sleeve
might be risked. But as time passed
it depended upon the fairness OF the
players and their sportsmanlike re-
gard for the rules of the game.
These rules have grown slowly and
have been formulated for players by
such as Hoyle for cards. Camp for
football, and legislative assemblies,
parliaments, or congresses for civil
cation. What is declared by these high
authorities to be the rules becomes
binding upon all players and good
craftsmanship requires that the game
be played according to the rules.
ship, next to breaking the rules, is
shpi, next to breaking the rules, is
to try to change the rules while the
game is being played. 1t is no longer
safe to do this in poker Or football,
but in the game of civilization it is
often tried. History is full of instanc-
es where one nation tried to change
the rules of war while playing the
game of civilization. But the verdict
of fairminded spectators has always
been that the nation which did this
was poor sport.
If the rules are to be changed, it
must be by constituted authorities
before the game begins. It is sports
manlike to get rules changed before
the game by appealing to the power
that can change them. But the good
sport will not change them for him
self or will he stay in the game and
break the rules. Play the game like
good sport is the only fair advice
for players or men who would be con-
sidered civilized.
Laws are the rules we call civiliza-
ton. It's object is to enable men to
live together in peace and harmony.
Change the rules if you do not like
them by appealing to the authorities,
but do not change them yourself and
do not disregard them because you
think you can without being caught.

Whitman College, Walla Walla.
