The copies of the paper were furnished to the Information Office by Mr. Elwin Fait. The original editions are on display at the Caldwell Drug in Tooele.) THE CITY OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS We give you a picture of the city of Chicago, Illinois, where the Republican Nominating Convention will be held on the 16th inst. Chicago is the youngest of (Mir great cities and the most promising. Though it was only organized as a town in 1833, with 28 voters it has a population of 140,(KX) or 150,(XK) souls, and is the largest primary grain depot in the world. . . . We congratulate the Republicans on the hospitable treatment which is in store for them in the Queen City of the West. DECLINE OF THE AMERICAN NAVAL POWER ' That the naval power of this is declining, and will country soon cease to compare with that of at least two European nations, every observer must acknowledge. By naval power we do not mean that power which is created by a national armored navy. Of such power as guns and fighting men can confer, we shall, we trust, always have enough for our purposes. We mean that the power which this country has so long wielded, by t, reason of a large, and merchant navy, is about to be wrested from iis by Europe. well-buil- MANTES m m GuGSSGB MANTES CHEVROLET CO. 882-314- 8 THE NOMINATION OF LINCOLN The action of the Republican Convention at Chicago, in passing over Mr. Seward and choosing Mr. Lincoln as its standard-beare- r for the ensuing the is subject of much campaign comment and controversy in the papers. On one side we hear that Mr. Seward was dropped because he could not carry Pennsylvania. Again, we are told that Mr. Seward was killed by Mr. Horace Greeley, who had conceived a bitter hostility to his former chief on account of certain alleged slights. . . DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE CONGRESS On Monday, April , 1860, in the Senate, a resolution was adopted instructing the Committee on Foreign Relations to inquire by what authority the U.S. naval forces captured the Mexican war steamers near Vera Cruz recently. On Friday, April 13, in the Senate, the House bill for the of Kansas into the admission union was referred to the Committee on Territories.

"THE DEVICES we have can reduce that figure appreciably. Tests have shown their use improves braking performance by as much as 27 per cent." "It is our hope that this decision will serve as an incentive to both the public and automobile manufacturers to include anti-ski- d devices, not simply as optional equipment on selected cars but as standard equipment on all cars. Their use will result in fewer accidents and fatalities and this in turn will reduce insurance costs." d The filings go with recent amendments to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards proposed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the Department of Transportation, which regulate braking distances for motor vehicles. THE REGULATIONS, which will become effective October 1, 1972, set down stringent standards, which according to Mr, McCormick can be met only devices with the use of anti-ski- d hand-in-han- One- - thousand, six- - hundred in cash prize money dollars awaits artists at the 1971 Utah State Institute of Fine Arts annual painting competition, to lie exhibited in the rotunda of the State Capitol, May 23rd through Septemler 6th.

Not only must the stopping distances be met, but the required distances must be met without any of the vehicle's wheels becoming locked and without the vehicle straying beyond a twelve-fowide lane. "Without an effective antiskid device this is almost imsaid. McCormick possible," "The anti-skisystem is designed to keep the wheels from locking up and allow their maintaining contact with the road. It is when the wheels are locked and lose traction that the vehicle starts to skid out of control." THUS FAR only a few automobiles are equipped with the devices, eithapproved anti-ski- d er as standard or optional equipment. "Other systems will lie considered for approval as they become available," noted Mr. McCormick. "Of course we hope many more will lie added to the list." Liberty Mutual's decision to offer discounts to policyholders for anti- - skid devices is a natural outgrowth of its automotive safety efforts that have made firm a leader the Boston-base- d in the insurance industry.
