THOUGHTS ... , .: 'isrwsj?; READING WORTH THE UTAH American Womanhood well-writte- We sometimes wish that we could find a man who was giving because we find so many who The "wise leaders in finance, business and politics willingly spend annually in the United States 16 billion $ on crime and criminals, but many of them refuse to consent to adequate and proper housing for the poor and unfortunate, even when it is made known that 65 per cent of the criminals come from poor, bad and inadequate homes. The armies of the delinquent youths come from the slum homes of the country. Surveys have been made in Salt Lake and reports given which make many of the leaders blush, especially those who have come Lee to face with the stark poverty that exists. The situs-tio- n cries to heaven for a public change of heart and mind. The administration has done much . and has provided a law under which homes may be built. But even this is not enough. The price is too high and the terms too severe. It must be made cheaper and easier for the needy to obtain and pay for a home. The government has now projected a move to use mass production in furnishiag homes at a cost of $900 and sell them at $10 a month. This is fine and should be taken advantage of everywhere. Salt Lake needs thousands of such homes. 1 his city and state and nation should be ashamed of the slum quarters, the decaying neighborhoods and the almost indescribable poverty that exists. If the Son of Man were to come and visit these he would be ashamed of all the governing and classes. The people, right at our doors, living in tents, railroad cars, ramshackle shacks, are the ones of whom he said, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the east of these ye have done it unto me. Don't send your sympathy overseas while such conditions exist at your very doors. When the visiting housing expert, the mayors housing expert the mayors housing expert and Dr. J. A. Withsoe saw the conditions face to face they blushed and hung their heads as did all the leaders on the stand of a great welfare meeting when told of conditions, and Dr. Widtsoe remarked. "It would be very startling to most people if they could see how some members of their community live. Get it out of your minds that you a re serving God when your hearts and minds are untouched and by sueh un Christian, conditions, not in China or Spain, but right here on the citys doorstep. Even Hitler of Germany ia setting us an example in these matters when he says that it is his objective to see that every German has a home and a piece of ground.

Rrinstituted as the Utah peoples lobby, the open forum will hold a seession Sunday at 8 P. M. in the city commission Andrew Jenson, historian, has presented us with an autographed copy of his latest and likely his final profusely illustra book, his Autobiograpy, a fine, ted and highly informative work of over 600 pages. Many thanks. We trust that the volume will find its way into many Utah homes', but we feel certain that there will be a greater demand for it after the author has gone away to the other shore. In the matter of ecclesiastical history the name of Andrew Jenson is not only famous in Utah but in many parts of the civilised world where he has traveled and worked and studied for more than half of his 87 years. His indefatigible labors and their results lie like recervoirs of knowledge about his people. He has built for himself and for his church a monument that all the abrasions of time cannot destroy, nisacheivements are outstanding and, we believe, without a paralled. He will live in the hearts of his fellow men as long as the church organisation shall exist. Few appreciate him, his work and his friendship his knowledge and his neighborliness, better than does the editor of this paper. We are in most hearty accord with the following expressions from Dr. John A. Widtsoe: In his chosen field the historian, Andrew Jenson, has rendered great service to his people. He has labored faithfully and well. It is a matter of congratulation to him and to us that he has added to his many books this instructive document, his Autobiograhuman, will be widely read." is that it It hoped phy.
