EVKKTON The temple authorities seem to be making no secret of the fact that there is a scarcity of names of women for endowment work. For years there have been more women in attendance at the various sessions of the temple than men. There were many large records from which women's names miht be drawn and the sisters were encouraged to come. All things come to an end however, how-ever, and it appears that there are no large records from which to draw more women's names. It seems that wc are fast approaching approach-ing the time when sisters who go to the temple must furnish their own names. A few years ago there were many names in the temple for whom baptisms had not been performed per-formed and when any one wished to have a baptismal excursion Thoughts Turned To The Dead licenses, church record books with entries of baptisms, marriages and burials have been secured out of dark corners and attics, from unused un-used lofts above jails, and unearthed un-earthed from beneath accumulations accumula-tions of dust and debris where they have been tossed as junk. Honorable men and women of the world, in a noble spirit of sacrifice, sac-rifice, for the undertaking is seldom sel-dom if ever financially profitable, have given willingly of their time and skill and means in preparing genealogies, and othe types of genealogies, and other types of they publish at great expense.

Save up to a cupful of gasoline on each "cold" start with Super-Shell Save up to a cupful in 10 minutes of hill climbing with Super-Shell Since the day Elijah the Prophet came to Kirtland temple on April 3, 1836, the hearts of the chil- 1 dren have turned to their fathers in all parts of the earth. This means that they have learned to know and love them and have sought to bring about their eternal welfare and future happiness. In 400 years from the invention of printing in 1450 to the year 1850 only about 250 family histories histor-ies were published in Great Britain an average of slightly more than one book in two years and these relating almost entirely to the nobility. Between 1836 and the present, 2000 British family histories histor-ies were printed, over 20 per year, and dealing mainly with the commoners. com-moners. The trend was similar in other countries, but reached its highest intensity in our own. In some sections of New England nearly every family has its printed print-ed family pedigree. In 1836 when Elijah came, there were no genealogical societies in Europe or America. The first great effort to preserve records of the common folk was in 1837, when England began an official registration of births, marriages and deaths. The first genealogical genealogi-cal society organized was that of the New England Historic Genealogical Genea-logical society in 1844. The next was the New York Genealogical and Biographical society in 1869. Today there are similar organizations organiza-tions in practically every state of the Union and numerous others in Europe . Record societies have been established in great numbers to transcribe and publish source material ma-terial required to build pedigrees. Practically every genealogical organization or-ganization has a well stocked library, li-brary, crowded day after day by earnest researchers.

That condition came to an end and those who organize excursions excurs-ions are under the necessity of finding names before they can have the excursion. This condition has stimulated genealogical research and the new condition which now confronts us when there will be no names for the sisters to work for, will no doubt give further stimulus to this work. After all, the obligation that is placed upon the Latter-day Saints is to search out their own genealogy, gen-ealogy, each family being responsible re-sponsible for its own family names. And conditions which will increase the number of families that are shouldering this respon sibility will no doubt be a good , thing. Under present conditions it ' looks like it will take a long time j for the men to catch up in the work. It seems to us that it would be a good thing everywhere for the genealogical committees to do all they can to increase the num- 1 her of men who attend the temple, i S.

HANSEN (DAVID JOHN Continued ) In March, 1883, he was appointed appoint-ed agent in the Utah stake of the presiding bishopric of the church, and was ordained for that position to the office of a bishop, by Presiding Pre-siding Bishop Edward Hunter, and Presidents John Taylor and Joseph Jos-eph F. Smith. But during this time David John went on a mission mis-sion to Great Britain, having been called at the April conference of 1871. He left Provo on May 1, and on his arrival in Liverpool he was appointed to preside over the Welsh mission, in which he labored labor-ed till June. 1871. reviving the work in his native land. He faith- fullv labored among his own kindred, kin-dred, but ineffectually. He sailed from Liverpool June 13 1872. and arrived in Salt Lake City July 4, 1872. David John served as counselor to Abraham O. Smoot in the presidency of the Utah stake of Zion, until the death of President Smoot, March 6, 1895. On the reorganization of the stake presidency April 21. 1895. he was chosen as first counselor coun-selor to President Edward Partridge Part-ridge and served in that capacity until President Partridge's death. November 17, 1900. When Utah stake was divided into three stakes, in January, 1901, David John was chosen and set apart as president of that part of Utah county which retained the old name of Utah stake. In the educational, business and commercial part of the history of Provo, we find David John a school teacher and a business man in the Provo Co-operative Institution, In-stitution, on the Provo Wollen Factory, and in the lumber company, com-pany, which originated with firm of Smoot and John. He left the factory to fulfill the duties of the presiding bishop's agent for the Utah county stake. David John was released as president of the Utah stake in April 1908, and was at that time ordained a patriarch by Apostle John Henry Smith. He died from apoplexy, at his home in Provo at 3:45 p. m. December 24, 1908, lacking one month of being seventy-five years of age. Bengt Johnson Jr., at that time a member mem-ber of the Utah stake high council was visiting with the patriarch at the time of his demise. The U. S.

Under masterful parliamentary handling bySenator George Nor-ris, Nor-ris, the bill won senate approval without difficulty. But in the house committee a combination of Republicans and Old Guard Democrats Demo-crats with the aid of White House bungling succeeded in tabling tab-ling the bill, thus preventing it from being submitted to the house, where its passage is certain. The vote in the committee was 13 to 12, which shows how easily there might have been a different story. That the situation in the committee com-mittee was precarious was no secret. Chairman McSwain made a special trip to the White House to warn the president that the measure was in danger, that his personal influence would be necessary neces-sary to force some of the recalcitrant recalci-trant Democrats into line. He promised full cooperation and asked to be notified when to act. At 5 p. m. on the day before the committee was to vote, supporters sup-porters of the bill attempted to get in touch with the president to ask- him to put the "heat" on Representatives Smith (Conn.) and Schaefer (111.) two Democrats who were flirting with the opposition. opposi-tion. A telephone call was put in for Marvin Mclntyre. They were informed in-formed that the socially-minded White House secretary was "out". An assistant promised to deliver the SOS message but the friends of the bill heard nothing more . So next morning the opposition scuttled the bill. The issue is not settled.

Anderson, correspondent of tho St. Louis Post-Dispatch, he said: "Paul, how would you like to be my postmaster post-master general?" "I couldn't afford to live on a cabinet salary." "Don't let that stop you," shot back Huey. "Farley doesn't either." but because of his marked anti-" New Deal bias there is no likelihood likeli-hood that he will be reappointed. . . .
