Thousands of children had danced about his machine, of course. The start went well, and the organ grinder smiled, nodding approval of the dainty little actress-dancer- s grace; but as the dancing continued, through more elaborate and entrancing evolutions, his mouth sagged open and his ewes bulged. He forgot his grinding for a moment, and the scene had to he retaken.

Quite often upon occasions of this nature officials forget, for the time being, that they are the Servants of the people and treat visiting constituents with scant courtesy and little consideration. The petition presented upon this particular occasion was of profound importance and dealt with a subject that means much to all the people of Utah county, irrespective of section or residence. It was signed by hundreds of banfide taxpayers, whose interests are representative of the countys greatest asset in the way of commercial and industrial development. Many of the signatures are those of men who stand high in the states political, industrial, financial, ecclesiastical and social circles, and whose desires and wishes cannot be treated indifferently. It would be an insult;, to them, and would reflect seriously against the judgment of the commissioners to even think, let alone insinuate, that these gentlemen would attach their names to any document Gbnrad Nagel and Dorothy Dalton a seem from the Cecil B DeAlille no matter of what nature', without giving its contents the most Production 'Fools Paradise - A Paramount Picture careful consideration.

PLAGUE MENACES EUROPE 1 d Europe is threatened with a devastating plague such as it all down the ages from the sixth century to the nineteenth. To1 that plague the names of the black death, the pest and the great mortality were given, and from its first appearance at Constantinople, in 1544, to its final visitation in the first half of the last century it is estimated that 25,000,000 human beings paid to it the tribute of their lives. In! London alone, in 1665, 65,000 i persons perished. - It not be the same plague, medically considered, that is may now advancing on Europe. But it is just as deadly. Sweeping over the frontiers of eastern Europe is a vast army of millions of emigrants, carrying the germs of cholera and typhus. This army of human skeletons is composed of refugees from the famine districts of Russia and wherever it touches it spreads the germs of disease. All efforts to stop the advance of this army of misery have faded. Ill to Galicia alone, the former province oL Adstria-Hungaibut now belonging to Poland, 600,000 have poured. The line march over Russia is paved with the bodies of their dead. Ninety-fiv- e thousand women and children died during the trek westward in the rigors of a Russian winter and other thousands are dying' or will die as a result of their privations and rav-agte- , -- while but a step away there was a colorful cantina of an oil town on the border between Mexico and the United States.

Government fiance is riding a rocky road, but the great mass of the people still have their nest egg. Thrift, as everyone knows, is instinct xVith the French. Those who have had experience with French penuriousness maintain that the French make of thrift a vice.' Save for investment in gov ernmenti bond.-- , the average French man or woman delights to keep his or her fortune in actual cash. During the wardhey risked death to go. back to ruined firesides to dig up precious hoards. The result is that France has more real gold and sjnver stowed away in stockings and old pots than any 'other country. Government financial crises Jmay come and go, but this huge reservoir of savings the bulwark of the nation goes on forever. The statistics of the National Savjngs Bank of France show that collective wealth of the country lias increased amazingly in spite ofthe ravages of the war. In 191d, the last normal year before the. great struggle, the excesj of savings deposits over withdrawals was 00 million francs. Djvring the tirst years of the war withdrawals naturally exceeded deposits, but in 1917 the excess of deposits began again, and in 19 19 reached 150 midion es ) i GLADYS WALTON AND DAVID BUTLER arrive at the undoubted financial strength of France you nitlst first understand thatfin every country there are two kinds of fiscal life.

In Russia typhus has spread from the country districts to the cities and thousands are dying in Moscow and Petrograd. In the Ukraine alone, which is called the granary of Russia, there were 1,250,000 cases of typhus and typhoid during 1919-2The number is now more .than doubled. To cope with these vast armies of the starving and diseased eastern Europe is illy prepared. It has not yet recovered from the effects of the war and lacks the organization and means to establish sanitation camps, hospitals and quarantine stations which must be maintained if the diseases carried by the Russian refugees are not to spread over the continent. Some of these refugees are seeking passage to the United States, so that our own shors are far from immune. The danger that threatens western Europe threatens us, although in a minor degree, and active measures are being taken at the port of New York to guard against the entiy into the United States of those diseases which aqe now scourging Russia and eastern Europe. i Matinee Daily, - sufferings.
