Two cases of the disease are all that the department has any knowledge of, it was stated, and one of these cases is from Mountain View, Wyoming, that of a baby that is nearly recovered from the disease. The other case is that of Fern Mryner, 12, of 708 Seventh street, who was taken ill March 5. Various anxious mothers calling the department on the phone have intimated that they had heard rumors of from 19 to 465 cases of the disease within the city, it was stated. Passing Planes Drop Mail Bags at Airport Even though Airport, Ogden, has been tied up for plane landing for some time due to the heavy snow and now to the slippery, muddy surface of the landing field, occasional bags of incoming mail are dropped by parsing planes for Ogden delivery, it was stated by Postmaster Rufus A. Garner. When necessity requires it, the postmaster said, mail is dropped at the landing place, we being notified beforehand by telephone. Druggists to Discuss Abuses of Narcotics Narcotic abuses will be made a special order of business at the June convention of the Utah Pharmaceutical association to be held in Ogden, according to an article published in the March bulletin of the association. A educational campaign widespread the among youth is urged in connection with the nefarious habit of using drugs, and the dire consequences resulting from it brought to their attention. The bulletin says: The child should be taught at an early age that this menace is abroad in the world, what it may do to him, how it attacks the delicate tissues of the brain and the nerve centers, causing ultimate torture that is horrible beyond imagination. Beginning with education of the young, prosecution of peddlers and rehabilitation of victims must also claim the attention of thoughtful people. City, state and national laws must be strengthened. Efforts to unite the world in the drive against the evil must be continued until something like unanimity in opposition to the traffic is obtained."

After almost constant repairing during the ten years since its construction, the Warrenite black pavement through the Centerville district has absolutely failed in several places. The failures are not surface failures, such as are frequently found in concrete, but are base or foundation failures. In one place, where the pavement was laid on swampy ground, the entire pavement has gone down three feet for a distance of about fifty feet. In several other places the pavement has also sunk, and in many other places evidences of failure are noted. As the weather warmed this spring, swales appeared across the pavement and became so pronounced that they had to be filled with sand and gravel; but it was not anticipated that the pavement would entirely give way. Finally conditions became so bad that the state road commission placed n signs alongside the road to warn day drivers and red lights tr warn night drivers. Finally, about ten days ago, the fifty-fosection of the pavement gave way, under a heavily loaded truck, and failures are being noted from day to day since that time. The excessively wet weather of winter and spring is responsible for the condi tions now existing, but it is well to remember that there have been no such failures in the concrete pave ment. It is problematical to just what extent this pavement may be repaired, but it is evident that replacing the paveipent with concrete and steel can not be delayed but a short time. There has been trouble with the concrete pavement through Davis county, especially with the sections first constructed. These pavements were not constructed with clean aggregates, and surface scaling followed. This was particularly true of the section between Bountiful and the Salt Lake-Davcounty line, but in no instance has there been base failures. When it became necessary to rebuild this pavement it was found that the base was intact, and it was only necessary to resurface the old concrete. However, the rebuilding of the black pavement through Centerville district presents a Teal problem, and it is possible that the entire paving will have to be removed and an entire new concrete pavement be built. These conditions recall the fight that was waged against black pavement in Davis county. Governor Bamberger had declared in favor of steel reinforced concrete pavement and the steel reinforcing bars had been ordered and prices had been secured for cement. At that time the state road commission, as the writer remembers it, was composed of the governor, attorney general and state engineer, and pressure was so strong for the patented black pavement that the governor was out voted. The final discussion was held in the board room of the capitol building, and or.e incident of that meeting stands out vividly: The advocates of black pavement clinched their argument with the assertion that the contractors would guarantee to keep the pavement in repair for five years. Governor Bamberger, greatly disgusted and disappointed at the attitude of the fellow members of the board, replied to the guarantee proposition by asking: Well who will keep it in repair after five years? The pavement was kept in repair by the contractors for the period of five years, but since that time it has been kept in repair by the state road commission; and now that it has failed it will have to be completely rebuilt, largely at the expense of Davis county. It is safe to predict that the days of rock-baspatented black pavement has passed here in Utah. There will perhaps be some black surfaced pavement, but it will all be on a con-of crete base, as is the two miles pavement south of Clearfield. slow-dow- Two Eastern Groups To Stop Over in Ogden delegations of 160 men off at Ogden on their way to attend the national Elks convention in July ou the Pacific coast. linrry W.

Smoot to Confer On Federal Building Senator Reed Smoot will meet with a delegation from the Ogden chamber of commerce at the Hotel Utah in Salt Lake City this morning relative to the proposed addition to the federal building in Ogden. A recent announcement from Washington that the amount to be allowed for the addition had been cut down prompted the action, it was stated. The delegation, headed by President E. R. Alton, will include J. P. Casey, P. II. Mulcahy, Fred M. Nye and Secretary E. J. Fjeldsted.

Ogden Eliminated From Tournament The Utah State high school tournament is well underway, for the most part the results of the games have run true to the forecasters, the only upset came the first night when Granite defeated the highly touted Ephraim quintette by a score of 40 to 31. Many dopsters had predicted the Ephraim boys to be a strong contender for the championship. The Ogden high school team was eliminated from the fray last night when they lost their second game of the tournament to Lehi, by a score of 33 to 17; Dain this division, is still vis, runner-u- p in the fray through their win yesterday over Monroe by a score of 28 to 12.
