Local investigators of playground and child delinquency records find and disclose a relationship between the two that is illuminative, of delinquency arrests over a says Washington Post. A check-u- p two weeks period shows that, of the 97 arrested, only one lived within three city blocks of a municipal playground. It is warranted assumption that children living close to playgrounds avail themselves of the opportunities so offered, and the fact that most of those arrested lived at a distance from such areas further warrants the deduction that remoteness of playgrounds makes for delinquency. This is in line with generally accepted Conclusions that healthful play and recreation provide outlets for youthful energies without leading to vice and crime. AMERICA LEADS AGAIN. Just returned from Europe where he remained seven weeks visiting the leading radio engineers and scientists in governmental and private radio circles abroad, David Sarnoff, and of the Radio Corporation of America, says: general manager I investigated the broadcasting systems of England, France , and Germany and met the principal persons, both in governmental and private circles, responsible for the development of radio in Europe. My conclusions are that broadcasting, which was initiated in our own country, has advanced in the United State, both as a public service and as an industry, to so great an extent as to make comparisons with European countries almost impossible. In France, it is just beginning,, and in Germany, it has hardly begun. In England, groater progress has been made than in other European countries but even there it cannot be said to compare favorably with the United States either as to quality or variety of programs, or as to effectiveness, simplicity or small cost of receiving apparatus, manufactured and sold for home use. Governmental regulations and restrictions retard the growth of the broadcasting art in Europe, and at the same time deprive the listening public of the freedom, enjoyment and instructive information available to all in the United States.

Mr. Jackson is treasurer of the American Duroc Jersey Swine Breeders Association, and comes to Utah with the reputation of being the ranking hog judge of 1923. During recent years he has judged at the National Show', Duroc, Hamps and Poland Chinas. The poultry judge is Mr. E. C Branch, of Lees Summit, Mo. Mr Branch has judged at the Utah State Fair several times, and all poultry raisers are very much elated that the Fair association has again secured Mr. Branchs services. The judge for the rabbits is Mr. of Colorado Louis S. J. Griffin, Springs, Colo., who is coming to Utah with a splendid reputation for judging rabbits, and this promises to be the largest exhibit of its kind in Utah. To mean a cheap government or an extravagant One. THAT they should not tolerate graft, crookedness or With the cry for tax reduction and retrenchment of expenditures heard from end to end of the nation, it was expected that as new town and county budgets were made up, schools would suffer, for it is most often in the schoolhouse, that the first cut is felt. But such has not been the case. Dr. John J. Tigert, United States Commissioner of Education, says: The worst is over and the schools have won. The move for drastic retrenchment, which included school budgets, is growing less and the agricultural sections of the west and south are recovering slowly from financial depression. 1 am getting reports from all sections of the country that bond issues are being voted to improve schools and efforts are being made to increase teachers' salaries. For .: mple, Rapides Parish, in Louisianna, which 1 visited recently, lu-- s voted a bond issue of $1, 250,000 for its schools. This is a guoi rcvord for a rural district of the south. The south has made comparatively greater progress in its schools than any other section of the country in the past two or three years. It is rapidly catching up to other sections. The interest of southern states has been thorouhly aroused, and they are setting about to solve problems of administration and financing which formerly were ignored. The western states have adopted, to a great extent, the desirable plan of large state appropriations; for exmaple, $30 for each school child. This is an excellent way of reducing the differential in educational opportunity between the country and the city child. It means advantages for rural schools which the local population are unable to furnish through lack of funds. nment-owned, The Directors of the 1924 Utah State Fair, October l'to 8, feel that they are very fortunate to obtain the judges they have secured for the livestock divisions. The dairy cattle will be judged by Mr. Axel Hansen, of Savage, Minn. Mr. Hansen judged the Holsteins at the Iowa State Fair, Michigan State Fair, Washington State Fair, and all He is of the dairy cattle at Montana. recognized as one of the best judges in America and everyone is sure to be pleased with his work. The beef cattle will be in charge of Mr. Frank Brown, of Carlton, Oregon, who judged at the Utah State Fair in 1923, and gave perfect satisfaction. Mr. Brown has judged all of the leading fairs in America, and udges every year at the Internation-i- l in Chicago.

The ELIMINATING UNFIT DRIVERS. 4. It has been estimated that from three to five per cent of the Irivers of motor vehicles cause nearly all the accidents that occur on he road. Hence it is claimed byr some authorities that drivers who are involved in accidents should be examined to see if they are acking in those elements of caution or quick thought and action that vill enable them to meet emergencies. Accidents are causing so much suffering and loss that it is lecessary that some radical steps should be taken to restrict them. During the war the army established certain testing grounds where From all who wished to drive motors and trucks were examined. one quarter to one third of the applicants failed to pass this test :he first time. Less than five per cent of those who failed the first :ime were able to pass the test thereafter, indicating that they possessed certain mental qualities that prevented them from becoming safe drivers. The great problem in motor operation is how to eliminate such people as drivers. Public sentiment should demand tests sufficiently searching, yet sane and reasonable, to exclude such persons from a responsibility for which they are not adapted. REVERENCE FOR THE LAW. Let every American, every lover of liberty, every o his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution never to iolate in the least particular the laws of the country, and never to derate their violation by others. As the patriots of 76 rallied to he support of the constitution and laws let every American pledge let every man remember lis life, his property, and his sacred honor hat tq violate the law is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the charter of his own and childrens liberty. Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap; let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, ind in colleges; let is written in primers, spelling books, and in almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation; and let the young and old, rich and poor, the grave and gay of all sexes and tongues and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars.

The cig&ret has turned pacemaker in the business revival says a dispatch. Treasury figures and preliminary returns to the census bureau indicate that the business of making smokes for the American people is increasing progressively at the rate of more than per cent a month. The industry has swept past the $1,000,000,000 mark and is crowding its way to the $2,000,000,000 goal. During July, treasury figures disclose 6,583,000000 cigarets wire manufactured in the United States. This is an increase of 750,000,000 over the number manufactured in July, 1923. If the pace is maintained, there will be manufactured and sold in the United States during the current fiscal year more than 77,000,000,000 cigarets. and in fact for every meal, let us supply your Within the decade In 1923 the number was 16,427,000,000. he tobacco manufacturing industry has run up its output 450 per :ent.
