Hard as it is to realize, Salt Lake City is not far behind the worst centers of crime. Two young men of well known and or partially by crime. 00 on respected families living near Salt Lake staged a series or sensational highway robberies recently which disturbed the peace of an entire state. They fatally wounded a young lady, leaving her in a condition which is far worse than death, and brought disgrace upon their people and thqir friends. And together with these must be mentioned the great monster that is swiftly bringing upon this nation the very doom of destruction. The deadly pangs of immorality are creeping into the civilized society which is not only blacking the pages of current history, but is signing the death warrant of this republic by dismsntl-in- g the souls of the future motherso-call- ed hood of America. No more loathsome cancer disfigures the body and soul of society today than the frightful affliction of sexual crime. It vitiates the very foundation of life and bequeaths its foul effect to the yet unborn as a legacy of death. It lurks in hamlet and in city, in the mansion and in the hovel as a ravening beast in wait for prey and it sulks through the land in blasphemous defiance of the laws of God and of man. Oh, Americans, when we think of the standards of chastity and purity that we are sacrificing, when we comprehend the terrible price we are paying, we should let our thoughts go hack to that little scene in Southern France. The Hun came knocking at the gates of Belgium and tore into the wonderfully fortified city of Liege. The word spread rapidly throughout France that every Frenchman must shoulder his gun and dash to defend his country. Away down in Southern France a father met his call, said good-by- e to his w'ife Marie and his son, Noal, a lad of 16 years. The Huns came tearing on through Northern France until .hey had driven the armies to the river Marne, Then there arose that rreat leader Joffre; who spoke those wonderfully Inspiring words, They shall not pass, and every Frenchmans heart was thrilled; everyone was determined that he would give his last drop of Mood if need be to save his nation.

Hickey of the United States bureau of animal industry are making plans with' the local .dairy committeemen and the farm bureau presidents for th testing of cow throughout Davis county for tuberculosis. There is an annual loss of $40,000,000 in the United States from this dreaded disease and there , is a great loss through human contracting the disease from the stock. Most of the large herds of Davis county sending their milk to Salt Lake have had their herds tested, but the family cows of the county, where the fanners feed the milk to tjieir own kiddies,' have not been tested and we think from the selfish point of view', that the farmers cows should be the very first to be tested. This has not been done because time will not warrant a visit to each individual farm. We have the services of Dr. Hickey in this work free of charge, if arrangements can. be made for grouping the cattle. We should like to see Dr. Hickey test every cow in Davis county for this disease. chaser should be .standardization of parts. The standardization. of pdrts means manufacture at a smalleir cost by reason of augmented production and lower overhead expense; and a standardized- machine provides a in first cost, in cost of repair ease in obtaining them. Auand parts thorities have stated that 50 per cent of the parts of a certain popular car retail for less than 10 cents each. This truth emphasizes the importance of a consideration of the standardization of parts before buying a car. A few facts in connection 'with an automobile engine that need to be considered are the " efficiency and - durability of it; the amount of gasoline it can transform into serviceable miles and the ability of the transmission to generate a steady flow of power froYn engine to drive wheel. Along with these facts one may consider the ability of the car te do the work for which it is intended.. These points can be decided upon separately or by means of comparison with similar ones of other cars. In connection with the purpose for which a car is intended may be considered the appearance of it. One should realize that for any purpose whatsoever a car should, possess a neat appearance. Facts which help the appearance of any car are simplicity and proportionment of body designs, appearance of the top and the absence of superficial parts. A car containing these qualities not only appears well, but it ia the possessor of a long life because it generally contains the qualities of good material and workmanship. $ Wendell Nance, a junior at the Davis High school, was declared the winner of the Layton .Auto Co. contest.

Canners, food brokers, distributors, wholesale and retail grocers and supply firms are going to be the most active in the campaign of next week, while the Utah Manufacturing association will be the central agency through which much of the campaign will be conducted. The purpose of. Canned Food week is to make known' to the consumers the benefits of canned foods, to stimulate more interest among the consumers in. the use of canned foods and to do this in such a way as to create a high regard for canned foods. Canned foods are simply natural foods cooked and sterilized by heat, says a statement calling for the observance of National Canned Foods week. The nutritive value of canned foods Is the same or greater than that of corresponding raw foods purchased in the open market and cooked in the kitchen. For instance, the nutritive value of canned peas or spinach is the same as that of fresh peas or spinach bought and cooked in the home. In the case of canned peaches, the nutritive value is the same as that of the fresh, fruit if sliced and cooked in sugar, the statement says. duction among users is known 4 V Watson-- aimer Clothing T Co |
