I Although it is only 26 miles long, , this highway is the greatest project of Its kind ever undertaken by the i U. S. National Park Service and Bureau of Public Roads. Its cost ; was close to two million dollars, and It Incorporates two tunnels, one 5,600 feet long, and the other more . than 400 feet long, In Its short ; length. ' Dedication ceremonies were held within the longest of the tunnels, whose outer wall is pierced with six "galleries' through which ven-, ven-, tilation and sunlight are admitted. ; Gallery 1, the largest of them all, was the scene of the formal dedication. dedi-cation. Within this gallery the stand from which various governors, National Park Service and Union Pacific officers, and other representatives repre-sentatives of the U. S. government and the state of Utah made their , address, was erected. Marvelous accoustlcs prevail at this point in the tunnel, and there was ample room for the two thousand spectators, all of whom could hear every word spoken by the speakers even when an ordinary conversational tone of voice -was nsed. Patriotic music was supplied for the occasion by sixty male members mem-bers of the chorns of the St George, Utah, temple. With the massive balk of East Temple mountain rearing Its head 3.200 feet and glaring in frames of red and white splendor abov the tunnel gallery, the audience heard Mr. Albright, as master of ' ceremonies recall that the day was the sixty third birthday of Stephen T. Mather, his predecessor as superintendent sup-erintendent of the parks service, to whom he gave credit for inception of the Zlon-Mount Carmel highway. - iff : ' Ml ayog.vl r 4 Mb. y g " as the road is officially known. ' Mather died last January, after making his last official trip of inspection in-spection of the work on the tunnel. With E. S. Scoyen, superlnten-. superlnten-. dent of Zion and Bryce Canyon national na-tional parks, presiding, President Heber J. Grant, gave an Invocation In which he asked the divine blessing bless-ing upon the undertaking. He praised the cooperation of the parks service and the states of Utah and Arizona, without whose help, he said, the task would have been Impossible. Im-possible. Many engineering difficulties were encountered in building the road and tunnel through the mountain range, which is 10,000 feet high. Involving scaling precipitous cliffs on ropes and ladders. So close was the calculation on the tunnel which is 6,600 feet long and 22 by 15 feet In size, that they varied only by Inches when the bores met from two directions. Declaring the work of the engineers en-gineers had only to place the road where nature had Intended It should be built millions of years ago, Mac-donald Mac-donald hailed It as "the symbol of a bigger Idea of the cooperation and faith that is taking possession of the people of the United States." Governor Dern, in the same view, said the people of Utah do not "need or want national parks within their borders as playgrounds for local people alone, but are proud to share these natural marvels mar-vels with people of other states." The audience included hundreds of people of southern Utah, who had assembled within the portal of the tunnel to Join with the governors' gov-ernors' party In dedication of the road and observance of Independence Indepen-dence day. They found the tonne! portal and gallery gaily decked with flags and bunting and chairs 'placed for their comfort within a rock-hewn ampitheatre.

Beginning near the Park Ranger station at the entrance to Zion National Park, the road ascends ( In i long series of gently rising switchbacks until it reaches the sheer face of one of the crimson cliffs of Zion National Park. Here the longer of the two tunnels begins, be-gins, and penetrates this cliff for a distance of more than a mile. The road finally emerges at the top of the plateau from which-Zion which-Zion Canyon has been etched eons of time' by one small river. It accomplishes its purpose of shortening the distances between the three most colorful of all of the- twenty-two national parks in the United States. Gov. Dern Dedicates Zion-Mount Zion-Mount Carmel Highway Governor Dern, In his address at the dedication ceremonies, stressed some of the beauties of Utah scenery: "It is pecularly appropriate that this great highway should be dedicated dedi-cated to the use of the people of the United States on our country's birthday. birth-day. "It is also fitting that this ceremony cere-mony should be held la the presence of the governors of so many of Utah's sister states. Their presence here is emblematical of the interest ' of all the states In this project . It is as If the people of the whole nation na-tion were here this morning to see this marvelous undertaking placed at their service. "There may be differences of opinion opin-ion among the western states In regard re-gard to the national policy of reserving reser-ving their land and minerals from private entry, but there is no difference differ-ence of opinion among them in regard re-gard to the national parks. These areas of outstanding beauty are chiefly valuable for their recreational recreation-al uses. "We do not need them nor want J 1. lJ t & A- them as playgrounds for our own people alone. We are happy that tbey have been set aside for the enjoyment of all who may be attracted at-tracted by their charm. They are the show places of our nation, in which every American holds a share of ownership. While Zion National park and Bryce canyon happen to be situated within the boundaries of the state of Utah, yet we are proud to share our ownership of these naturaj. marvels with all the rest of our fellow Americans, and we say to them: Come out and inspect in-spect your property. Too will be proud of it, and your pride of ownership own-ership will make you a better, more patriotic American in the best sense. - "Zion Nat'cnal park has sometimes some-times been referred to as Yosemlte done in oiL I trust you have all experienced the sense of hush and awe and mystery that comes over one as he looks up at the Great White Throne or gazes from the Temple of Sinawawa over toward Angel's Landing. With Its gloomy gorge Inclosed by sheer red and white cliffs 3000 feet high on either side, it is no wonder the Indians regarded It as a spirit land, to be entered only with fear and veneration. "When you come to Bryce Canyon Can-yon National park you will find an entrancing fairyland with its spires, towers and minarets of the most exquisite hues, so delicately carved by nature that 'stone resembles lace.' Statues, monuments, cathedrals cathed-rals the eye can pick them out. Their beauty lingers long in the memory as a masterpiece of the Giver of all good and perfect gifts. "Drive 60 miles through the incomparable in-comparable Kalbab forest, the largest larg-est tract of virgin timber in the United States, seeLig herds f deer as you pass along. Proceed to Bright Angel Point, or Cape Royal on the Colorado, and If the majesty of that sublime spectacle does not impress you, you must indeed be Impervious to the beauties of nature." Pinky and Clover were rabbits. Dover loved to hear her name. She loved to be called by It very often, and she liked It best of all when her name was made very real by getting a lot of clover to eat. Pinky was so named because of his very bright pink eyes. They were really beautiful pink eyes. Clover had pink eyes, ton, but they were not so bright, they were a little bit paler In shade than Pinky's eyes. Pinky thought they were very fairly fair-ly named, for, of course, CJover should have the better name of the two, because be-cause Clover was Mrs. Rabbit and It was polite and nice to give the lady the nicer name. v Both the rabbits were white without a touch of black. They were very, very fond of each other. They were very tame and fond of children and they were extremely fond of all the nice green things they were given to eat Now the children who owned these rabbits didn't know that daddy rabbits rab-bits were all right when the children were big but when tbey were small they weren't so nice, and were very apt to kill or eat their children. The daddies didn't care for the children chil-dren when they were only little bits of flUff. ;- . They didn't see that they would grow up into nice rabbits later on. So these two rabbits, Pinky and Clover, were not separated, and Clover, Clov-er, somehow, wasn't as afraid of Pinky as sometimes a mother rabbit rab-bit Is. That is, a mother rabbit is never afraid of a daddy rabbit for herself, for she knows he will never hurt her, but she Is afraid for her little ones. So when she knows that the little ones are soon to come she hides away from the daddy rabbit Clover wasn't at all nervous. She saw that the children didn't know that theyt should be separated. And she somehow thought Pinky would act very nicely about the little lit-tle ones. She made a tiny hole in the ground ond soon there came seven of the Both the Rabbits Were White. sweetest, most cunning little bits ot white fluff you ever did see. She had quite a hard time naming so many little babies hut at last she named them and these were the names she decided upon. Her eldest son was named Bun. Her eldest daughter was named Bunny. Her second son was named Pink after his dad, and the second dauglv ter Cloverlne after herself. The third son was named Spot be cause of a little black spot which he had on his nose, and the third daughter was named Rabbity, while the fourth son was named Baby Bun. And do you know that Pinky never touched one of those children so as to hurt them? He didn't kill them, he didn't bite them. Instead he watched Mother Rabbtt taking care of them, he saw her gli lng them their meals. He watched her as she taught them the lessons all rabbits must know. And he saw the children kissed anc fondled by their mother, and he felt how much he loved them too. Oh, yes, Clover and Pinky wiggled their noses, sniffed the delicious air and said what a nice world it ws. Choosing Nam for Baby In some foreign lands the baby's name Is chosen in strange ways. The poor little Chinese girls are thought of so little Importance that they rarely rare-ly get a name at all as infants, but are called No. 1, 2, 3, or whatever their place In the list of daughters may be. Chinese boys are given a name, by which they are called till they attain the age of twenty; then their father gives them a new name. Japanese girls have pretty names, usually those of some flower "Mim osa," "Chrysanthemum," "Cherry Bios lom." and In some parts of the conn try the little Japanese do not recelvf a name until they are five years old when their father chooses one fo! tbem. Hindu babies are named when the," are born. Confession and Avoidance Susie Bobby, your face Is awful flirty. Bobby Yes, I know It is.
