 "Where you go?"
 Away up there - See?- up in the mountain"
 Percy shook his head ominously.

 "Ummh.' He pointed dramati- cally at skyline to the westward. It was silhouetted then in the sun- set, jagged with thousands of small boulders. fantastically shaped, like soldiers in broken, irregular row, Little Men," rumbled Percy.
 Everyone studied the forma- tions
 By george, they do look like people!" agreed old man Golfer. Some of them had faces, some wore hats, some were bumped and some were leaning, but they were aptly named.
 'Yo umean - they were white people, and were turned to stone?" Carolee asked him.
 "Unh." His grunt was affirma- tive this time. He arose slowly as if to go, eyeing the last of the food longingly, They all looked at him.
 Suddenly Carolee entered the tent and came back with her box of candy, politely offering it to him. It was the large box from Stewart Blake, still more than half full.
 Percy eyed it moment, then his face shone. He reached out for a piece or two, but childishly took the entire box.
 Carolee was taken aback, and the guffaws of her two brothers didn't help any; but she didn't try to retrieve her candy. Percy sat down for another gastronomic orgy.
 Carolee had been lonely for al- most any sort of company, and Percy was amusing. He seemed to visit strangers; he might-may- be-he'd visited some other white people. She set in to question him She didn't know it. but she couldn't have made friends better with Percy had she deeded him a whole ranch; the average Indian will sell any, thing for candy.
 Have you been to other white peoples camps?" she asked.
 He nodded, still eating.
 Do you know some people named-named Blake? Two men? A father and ? son? Where are they?"
 He appeared bewildered at this

 You Wantum gold?" he asked.
 "Eh?" Old man Colter perked up at this.
 You like get gold?" He mo- tioned in suggestion, to the moun- tain.
 "Yas, yas we do, boy" said MT Golfer. "Thes gold up here, ain't the? You know anything about it?"
 "Unh." Percy appeared totally ignorant. MT. Golfer tried sev- eral more tacts, doing his best to get information from Percy, but no success. Once Percy pointed again to the Little Men. and finally he arose again to leave them. He didn't bother to say goodby, he departed as uncer- as he had arrived.

ually decided to hide the car among shrubbery, buy horses which they would need anyway, and pack every thing up to high, flat, green mesa which they had discovered. It would save much climbing on their daily trips and, incidentally, get them away from possible snoopers; the Golfers, save for Carolee, were never Sociable, least of all were they likely to be so when hunting for gold.
 Toward evening of their third day in the temporary camp, however, they had visitor He came unan- nounced and uninvited. Over his hunched shoulders draped a color ful blanket. He was hatless, his hair exceedingly long, Carolee knew him at once to be an Indian.
 He grinned ever so little, took rather elaborate notice of the fod that was cooking, and sat down near the campfire without saying a word
 How do you do?" greeted Caro- lee, staring at him uneasily.
 "Unh."
 His grunt indicated that for malitieS were over The Golfer men arrived soon after, but they had no suggestion to offer about their guest. To be sure, they could have thrown him out, but that didn't seem advisable for number of reasons. He only grinned meagerly at any attempts to converse with him.
 In time the meal was ready, and the Indian didn't wait. He reached his fingers into every pot and helped himself generously, before the Golfers had served themselves. Nobody said anything, but Caro- le was enjoying the little comedy immensely, especially the obvious discomfiture of her father and brothers. Neither she nor they knew what was going on, but she wasn't taking it seriously. She felt safe with her folks there.
 When he had eaten - or rather gorged - the Indian announced himself officially.

 All the Golfers laughed a little at that, and Carolee asked how he got the name.

 Soul O. Mh.
BY l. S. KLEIN

SON of a professor of law, Gott-
 fried Wilhelm von Leibnitz only naturally directed his studies in that profession. He was born in Leipzig, Germany, in 1646, and qualified for his law degree a year before he could get it legally. Im- mediately he set out to reform the Corpus Juris," or body of the law.
 But his interest quickly veered toward search for the source of mans soul, and an effort to ex- plain Gods trust in man. Out of this came Leibnitz's basic philoso- phy, that the soul, like all the senses of man, was born with a person, and that ii is the con- sciousness of it's presence that is acquired later by education and experience.
 In mathematics, as Tn philoso- phy and law, Leibnitz became world famous. He improved and added to the study of calculus, or the mathematics of reasoning, and to analytical geometry. In 1700, he became chief organizer and first president of the Berlin Academy of Sciences. He died, in 1716, at

IOWA CITY, Iowa. February 25-
DR.. James Bryant Conant, Harvard
University president, said yesterday
adequate scholarships should be estab-
hshed for deserving university students
and there should be careful Selec-
ton" of all university students.
DR.. Conant advanced his ideas in an
address on THE Selective Principle
in Education in a Democracy" pre-
pared for delivery before the first con-
ference on higher education at the
University of Iowa. held in conjunc-
ton with the ninetieth anniversary
Of the institution.
II believe that one fundamental
educational question confronts all the
universities of a great democracy
how shall we select those whom we
are to educate?" the Harvard presi-
dent asserted.
The American college and the
American university" he continued
"exist for no one single purpose. but
for many purposes. The problem. as
see it, is to keep the balance be-
tween the various necessary objectives
and not to let our power of vision be
destroyed by focusing too long and too
intently on any one particular bulls
eye"
In allowing our selective machinery

What is this machinery by which
the colleges play their part in select

men and women? Clearly it is our
old heritage of stiff courses. stimu-
lating atmosphere making for hard

Il do not believe in the older Ameri-
can theory that 1t is necessarily good
for student to work his way through

adjusted so that they affect certain

He said he believed carefully ad-
ninstered scholarship system is an
essential part of a democratic Sc

restD
OUR LORD was one of the most
untiring workers the world has ever
seen. AS a carpenter he had earned his
bread by the sweat of his brow and
knew what it meant to be wearied
with the burdens and heat of the day.
In his preaching, teaching and heal
ing ministry he often was thoroughly
tired out. A full record of his minis
try must have included numerous re-
ferences to his WEAKNESS like that
one at the well of Sychor with the
woman of Samaria, Being wearied
with his journey, sat thus Gas he was)

The Rest Giver.
And yet this Master workman, so
often himself weary, stands forth and
invites all the wearied ones of earth
to come to him for rest. Come unto
me- all We that labor and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest. Take
my yoke upon you and learn of me;
for 1 am meek and lowly in heart:
and We shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden
is light" Jesus saw men treated as
beasts burdened beyond their strength
and ready to fall under their crush
ing loads, and offered to give them,
not rest from their labor, but rest in
their labor.
Burdens of Doubt.
This gracious invitation of our Lord
grew partially from the experience of
his faithful forerunner, John the Bap-
tist who sent messengers from his
prison to inquire of Jesus, "Art thou
he that should come, or look we for
another?" Here was a man weary
and heavy laden with doubt and dis
coulagement But he brought his bur-
den to Jesus, and received a message
to reassure him and give him peace
and courage Jesus was meeting the
same contradiction of sinners at
which John had become discouraged,
but he met it with calm confidence
in his Fathers unfailing love. From
his defense of John against john
enemies and his, he turned to pray,
Il thank thee, o Father, Lord OF
heaven and earth, that thou didst hide
these things from the wise and I'M
Outstanding, and didst reveal them
unto babes: yea, Father, for as it was
well-pleasing in thy sight" He allow
