If you have, you surely must have experienced that feeling of humbleness and reverence to- ward the won-der and beauty that is nature's. There are other rewards for the lover of the wide open spaces. They are strong bodies, rosy cheeks, and robust health, which come from the fresh air, sunshine, and exercise of the outdoors. The life of Theodore Roosevelt stands as a monument to the outdoors. As a young man he was weak and sickly. His doc-tor advised a change of environment anud Roosevelt went VVest. Ou-t of this vigorous, Western, outdoor life emerged a man whose mind was clear and whose body was strong. Theodore Roosevelt became a peerless leader and went on to become our 26th President. As the Spanish-American War Veterans would say, He was a real Rough Rider. In an ancient Greek legend there was once a powerful giant that even the famed Hercules could not vanquish. Every time he was thrown -to the earth he came back with renewed strength. Hercules at last found his secret. The giant received all his strength by contac-t with the earth. He kept the giant away from the earth by holding 'him in the air and thus finally defeated -him. In many respects we are the same way. Take away the sunshine, fresh air, and the good rich earth and like that Greek giant your chances of survival would be very slim. To make a fully rounded life something other than -these physical aspects must be had. In the sunny fields and quiet streams of the outdoors you find that something. I-t is spiritual con- tentment. There is nothing as near to God as nature. You will find as you travel down the trail of life that the better you learn to appreciate and use -the outdoors, the wider and brighter the trail Will become.

VVe are going out into a world of chaos. On us will remain the job 'left undone by our fathers. In the United States today, when you pick up the paper, you read of robbery, murder, kidnapping, and grand larceny. VVe read of these crimes which in :themselves should be shocking enough. However, the shocking 'thing is that these crimes are committed by juveniles. At this minute juvenile delinquency is at a terrific height. VVhy is this so? Perhaps one reason is the lack of parental care. The parent who 'thinks nothing of leaving his children alone for long periods of time when they are at a very young age are classified just as much a delinquent as the child. The parent who allows his children to pick their own companions and their own pastimes without guidance is an ex- ample of the type of person who lacks the ability -to govern. Often these actions lead to juvenile crime. Fellow Americans, this is our nation. We fought, bled, and endured many hardships to make it what it is. VVe must aid in making it a more powerful, greater nation by making sure that the children tha-t are to run i-ts government will be the right type of men and women -to run it. lVe must not let them fall into the clutches of crime. How can we do it? First eliminate the slums. Then give these boys and girls the proper education and recreation necessary to insure healthy minds and bodies. All of these things I believe will, in future years, stamp out juvenile crime. Patience, time, and discipline will make this the God fearing nation that it should be. If these things are put into operation, our bad boy list will be On the decrease.

THE CARSONIAN OF 1947 f ROBERT L. GARLOCK K Rudolf Zero! UDOLF DIESEL was born in Paris, France, on March 18, 1858. He was a great German engineer and inventor. His education was received at various colleges in France and Germany. In 1886 he secured a position as manager in a refrigeration plant. He worked in this plant till 1890. Two years later he 111oved to Augsburg and it was there that he began working with the internal-combustion engine. This was about 1893. In 1895 he patented the Hrst Diesel engine. The Diesel engine worked much more satisfactorily than the regular internal-combustion engine. The Diesel engine was first publicly exhibited at the Munich Exhibition of 1898. Shortly after the exhibition there was widespread commen-t con- cerning Diesel and his marvelous invention. In 1904. and 1912 Diesel visited America. In the latter year he delivered many lectures to American engineers and engineering colleges. In IQI3 England was facing a drastic situation that meant only war could result.

The British Admiralty summoned Diesel for consultation with English industrialists. Mr. Diesel prepared immediately for 'his trip to England. On September 29th he boarded the Antwerp-Harwich mail steamer Dresden and sailed for England. The following day the Dresdon docked at Harwich and it was dis- covered that Mr. Diesel 'had 'disappeared some- time during the night. Immediately there was an investigation but Mr. Diesel could not be found. This Diesel engine powered many of the ves- sels that landed on the beaches of Normandy, Sicily, japan, and the Pacific Islands. Today the Diesel engine powers -immense construction equipment, is used in rail centers for various purposes, gives power to large industrial plants, and above all is used to generate the electricity tha-t lights American cities. Yes, Diesel well deserves being called one of Germany's greatest engineers and inventors.
