The Information available on the origin of the American flag, says a writer In the Washington Post, Is more a matter of tradition than of history. It Is an emblem born of THE Bii-tain- r. strife, at the time whea Englands colonies were struggling to obtain fairer treatment and a larger measure of liberty. The alms of this struggle were not clearly defined In the beginning. The Declaration of Independence, a notable document promulgated on July 4, 177G, which has earned the admiration of many statesmen In various parts of the world, did not come until many Important battles had been fought. In these, the Americans followed varl- - the house was largely torn down.

Wellard Fee had been a steadfast advocate of Independence for more than 10 years prior to the Declaration, and In his speeches and writings baa prepared most of the reasons given In the Declaration, observes a wrrlter In the Indianapolis News. He was sent to the congress Instructed for Independence, and on June 7. 1770, wrote and Introduced the resolution declaring Independence.

By MARION C. NELSON Only a days drive from the farthest point In Utah, Is historic Cedar of City, the picturesque setting of many of Zane Greys colorful stories the West. Today Cedar City is the key to the mystic Wonderland that characterizes southern and central Utah. If you want a thrill, if you like mountain roads, and want to test diyour nerves and your cars performance, take tha road that leads rectly east from Cedar City. The bus route is so arranged that tbi3 tortuous stretch of road may be taken down hill, for Cedar Breaks is a climb of & full 4,500 feet higher than Cedar City only 23 miles away nearly 200 feet every mile. Immediately east of the town the road enters rugged Cedar Canyon, its slopes covered with fine forests of conifers and aspens. The walls assume Impressive castellated forms that are especially striking at the mouth of Ashdown Gorge, eight miles distant. Ashdown Gorge is an extremely narrow tortuous and precipitous rift in the plateau, down which rushes a sparkling stream from the vast furrows of Cedar Breaks. About a mile from the mouth and high up the precipice is a natural bridge with an arch of about sixty feet and a span of about seventy feet. Following Coal Creek, ever upward, the road presently occupies a shelf upon the shoulder of Makagunt Plateau. The whole sweep of the Terraced Plateau country to the south is visible. Some twenty-fiv- e miloB directly south, slashed into the green of Kolob Plateau, are the mazy white-toppetemples and towers of Zion, the Grand West Temple dominating the scene. Several extinct volcanic peaks are in the foreground. This Immense range of visibility Is one of the strong attractions of tha Terraced Plateau country; one sees, again and again in new and startling aspects, the salient features of hundreds of miles of territory and Its geologic structure. At Midway the road turns northward for three miles through stately pines, furs, and spruces, and comes without warning to the abys3 named Cedar Breaks. Your car takes you to the very brink of thi3 series of vast amphitheatres 2,000 feet deep and 10,400 feet above at the rim. This great chasm, eroded 2,000 feet into Pink Cliff formation covering sixty square miles in Sevier National Forest, is splashed with natures finest array of color buttes, cliffs, pillars of and snow white. The blunted volcanic pale pink, flaming crest of Brian Head rises 800 feet higher affording a panorama of practically all of southern Utah, Nevada, and northern Arizona. Along the rims are easily reached viewpoints among them Point Supreme, Point Perfection, and Point Lookout. Here nature has worked a miracle not only of color, hut of sculpture. Men have been known to weep at the grandeur nature here reveals. Unlike Zion Canyon Cedar Breaks 13 first seen from the top. In this gigantic amphitheatre many softer colors are subtly blended, and the formations are most striking. In recognition of its high scenic values it was made a National Monument by Presidential Proclamation late in 1933 and dedicated as such on July 4, 1934. The Indian name Is fairly descriptive. It is "circle of painted cliffs. But Cedar Breaks is more than that It Is a series of broken circles with the ends Joined, each part of a circle breaking down from tha high plateau into yawning chasms. Within the amphitheatres of Cedar Breaks, the Bioping side walls are furrowed and corroded, broken into massive ridges which radiated from the center like the spokes of a wheel, all overlaid with a sea of bright colors. lied Is the color most frequently found here, a sort of pinkish-rethat sometimes deepen into orange. But along with the green of the scattered pines, there are also shades of chocolate, yellow, lavender, purple, and white. One artist has counted more than sixty tints in Cedar Breaks. sea-lev- el d BOISE, IDA.

President Roosevelt appears to be facing a considerable amount of trouble as Trouble for his plans move ward for administra0 tion of the works relief fund. The difficulties confronting thp President are of two kinds, each likely to prove embarrassing. At this writing It Is impossible to forecast vvliat the end will be hut the circumstances of the situation that has been brewing some weeks seem to warrant a recital of the facts. It will be remembered that during the long drawn out congressional fight preceding passage of the $5,000,000,000 appropriation there were numerous open accusations and many more mumblings underneath that the fund would be used by the administration to some extent at least for political purposes. Most 'observers thought at that time that the accusations were simply representative of a boiling political pot. It was felt also that opponents of the President were fomenting discontent and defections In his ranks In order to establish a record for later political campaigning. Now, however, a different aspect apThe patronage question has pears. bobbed up. It Is coupled with complaints in many states against federal encroachment upon states rights. So, It Is made to appear that Mr. Roosevelt Is faced with a determined element which Is battling against his policies not so much because he Is a New Dealer as because they believe federal power has been extended to a new boundary and this hreeds a fear of further subordination and subjugation of state authorities. The recent meeting of the governors conference at Biloxi, Miss., constitutes ample proof, If further evidence he needed, of the uprising out In the states against encroachment on state affairs by the History Washington administration. records numerous Instances where heretofore the Washington government has sought to extend the scope of Its power In one way or another, usually in minor matters. In every Instance this move has been met by a solid phalanx of state officials and state leaders who hive promptly put the federal government back In Its constitutional place. As far as recearch discloses, however, the Biloxi governors conference Is the first Instance In which the chief executives of states have come out so openly with their declarations that the federal government had gone too far. The Biloxi pronouncements take on added significance as well through the fact that loaders who were the most critical of President Roosevelt In that meeting were governors of traditionally Democratic states. $5,010,-000,00- O Blessed Day I O Day of Glory I Forever live in song and atory!

From this restlessness, from this turmoil emerged the United States; emerged the Declaration of Independence and the Stars and Stripes. This flag, according to tradition, had a very humble origin. It was first fashioned, we are told, by a group of Americans besieged In a fort, from the clothing of the soldiers and from material fur Dished by empty ammunition hags.
