It would be taking in too much, territory, obviously, to suggest that no "war profits" are going to be made out of the war itself or the defense drive in the United States. Probably, Prob-ably, some men will make a lot of money out of it in one way or another, and some few of those may even keep some of it after the tax collector gets through. Some men have that knack, and one hears an occasional rumor suggesting that even in Germany, Italy, and Russia a! few shrewd ones manage man-age occasionally to rake in a few marks, lire, or kopecks. IVis probably inevitable that this will happen in a few instances. It is not going to be the rule this time, as it was in 1914-1916, the first two years of Worla" War I. Best evidence is the rather remarkable performance of New York Stock Exchange stocks during the past two years. This has happened, and it is almost unbelievable: The New York Herald-Tribune's composite stock index stood at 101.18 on Aug. 31", 1939. Two years later, on Aug. 31, 1941, it stood at 101.12. In other words, except for a rising flurry at the start of the war, and an almost exactly equal drop in May, 1940, when France collapsed, the stock market simply hasn't shown any reaction to the war at all. It stands after two years of the war exactly where it stood when the war "started. '" To anyone who recalls the feverish market speculation of the first two years of the World War, when there were no restrictions on neutral trade, and the munitions industry fattened on war orders from the allies, this seems incredible. In 1914 the stock exchange had to be closed, lest the rush of speculative trade overwhelm it. Today the problem is to keep the exchange open, so light is trading. 9$ jje sc t If it means anything, it means that nobody believes that the large companies whose stock is listed on the exchange are going to make any startling profits. While practically every one of them is working at capacity, and most of them showed increases in profits of some 20 per cent over 1939, " even with that increase the profits are not impressive, and not spectacular enough to encourage speculation. It would be too much to claim that defense is being achieved without "war profits." There may be, and probably will be some. But not on anything like the World War I scale and not as a general thing. " The "take the profits out of war" campaign may not have yet achieved 100 per cent success, but if the people who buy and sell stocks are right, it's evidently evi-dently gone a long way. Wintery Weather Hits Wide Area SALT LAKE CITY. Sept. 8 (HE) A unseasonal storm, sweeping sweep-ing out of Canada, today brought the Rocky Mountain states gales, snowstorms and freezing temperatures. tem-peratures. The cold wave apparently was concentrated principally, in Colorado. Colo-rado. Denver reported a heavy snowfall, which began about 4 a. m., and continued until mid-morning.- It was the heaviest early September fall since 1835. -? "It ;- The storm, following the Con tinental divide, lashed Eastern Montana, and sent the mercury tumbling in Wyoming. Utah and Idaho escaped the most of the wind and snow, but temperatures were lowest since early last spring. Today's forecasts called for generally warming temperatures in Idaho and Utah, with continued con-tinued coolness in Montana. Light frosts were predicted for the higher altitudes in all three states.

Big dogs and little dogs, yellow' dogs and black dogs, dirty flee catchers and white aristocrats, aristo-crats, garbage moochers and hack chasers, yip-yappers and all-night whiners, skulkers and skinflints constitute only a small part of the varieties that congregate around our neighborhood. In fact the canine population at times seems far greater than that of humans, and vastly more important impor-tant to the masters and mistresses mis-tresses who own them. This importance was empha sized recently when a huge black, defiant mongrel was ushered off of my neighbor's flowers, and its master asked to take care of It. Insulted, did you say? Why, that man was so insulted he hasn't spoken to the neighbor since. You know it gives one a sort of inferiority complex to think that a mooching dog is thought more of than a kindly neighbor but that's the case in our end of town. Dogs are not supposed to be a nuisance, according to the city ordinance. This brines up the question of what constitutes a nuisance. Dxes an all-night howl er near a sick person's window constitute a nuisance? A few weeks ago my mother-in-law was chased down the street and bitten bit-ten by a German police dor. Should she construe that as a nuisance? A bone burrier dug a hole a couple of feet deep in our rose garden the other day: but it probably would seem far fetched to construe that as a nuisance. Lack of sanitary provisions for this horde is, to say the least, unsightly, if not, as some owners own-ers would think, a nuisance. The destruction of expensive shrubs and flowers couldn't by any chance cOme under he category cate-gory of a nuisance. These are everyday occurrences in this dog-infested neighborhood. But far be it from me to be told that I don't merit the consideration considera-tion of one of these yellow mongrels. mon-grels. But to make a long story short I can't help but feel that people who rove dogs should keep them on their own premises day and night with emphasis on ' the "night." Believe it or not, I love a good. Clean dog but I'd love, him the more if he were kept in his place. i "MUGS" Fort Douglas Gets $295,450 Project SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. a 01E The regional office of the Work Projects Administration today announced approval of a $208,430 - project for improve ments at Fort Douglas. xne project provides for re modeling, extension of utilities. expansion of reservoirs, construc tion of -closed corridors, and gen eral repairs. !

Fol lowing this there was an article against the public supporting us. He or she writing the article gave tne opinion that nursery school was held merely to relieve the mother of the child and to give employment to a few women. fin th rinnr nf tho Munn-Trnna building' there reads "Nursery school, visitors welcome." Had he or she accepted this invitation invita-tion they wouldn't have written the article. The mothers aren't even con sidered nor are the teachers. The children are accepted according to tneir needs and ages. The child'8 iney receive supervised play. musical games, food, sleep, also, periodic medical examinations, cod liver oil daily, and constant care that no one person could give their child. If the mother placed her child there for free time as the article implied, It would be an easier matter to keep the child at home, as they must be brought to school and taken home, and each mother does her child's laundry. These mothers go to the cannery and can the winter supply of veee- tables. Why are we asking- for help? Because these Bar ents are of the lower in come class. This splendid op portunity must have another source of income as their parents cannot arrord either their time or money for just one of their children. Every Provo city child, 2 to 5 years has the opportunity, oppor-tunity, providing the parents' wages do not exceed f 85 per month. The teachers are widows and mothers needing employment. icataung cenmcates are void but they have nursery school training.

SERIAL STORY , BRIDE FROM THE SKY BY HELEN WEtStilMER , CHAPTER I TUDY ALLEN met Sandy Am-merman Am-merman quite by accident at LaGuardia Airport that night. It was damp and the beacon lights shone through a mist that dimmed the radiance of the incoming in-coming planes. One minute Judy's bright eyes were focused on the timetable in her hands. A famous couturier, an exile, was due on the Clipper, Clip-per, and she had come to interview inter-view the refugee. The next minute min-ute a tall young aviator, gray-eyed gray-eyed and laughing, swung Judy around. "Going somewhere tonight; Judy?" he asked, strong brown fingers closing over hers. "If you aren't, how about tagging along with me?" Because Sandy Ammerman's touch always made Judy's heart swing like a pendulum whose beat was growing wild, Judy covered ner confusion with gaiety. "No. darling. I stav nlaces. But Kjrou're in uniform. That means up. Where?" The laughter didn't leave the gray eyes, but his fingers closed possessively on her arm as he swung her around. "Then you'll see me off, won't you? It won't take two minutes. Not even half of one. The engine's warmed up, the propeller's spinning. . . ." But, Sandy, where are you going?" go-ing?" she asked, as he guided her into the wet night. "Yesterday ?ou thought you were taking a technical job with an aeronautic company staying on the ground mostly, I mean. And Oh, Sandy, won't you ever stay put?". Judy knew the gray eyes darkened, dark-ened, knew that a little pulse beat sharply at Sandy's temple, but the man's voice was low, slow, mocking mock-ing as usual when he spoke. "Sorry, honey, but that's the way I am. It's San Francisco tonight, to-night, and I'm testing a new oil for Skyways, Incorporated." "Sure it's safe?" Even as she asked, Judy reminded her heart that it wa3 completely absurd for it to grow excited because a perfectly per-fectly capable aviator, who had done outside inverted loops and.. turned a .somersault in a condemned con-demned ship to show thai it was safe, was starting out again. He Would Teach Mars or the Municipal Munici-pal Airport at San Francisco or any place he chose. -. Now the man's voice grew serious, seri-ous, a little tender. "No, Judy, not safe as you know safety. You like a desk, your name on ' the door of your office, your by-line in that journal about waistlines and beauty creams. I prefer the sky. "I Vnow. . . . She had knocked around, the stars with Sandy. Never on a rainy night, though. Never when-there was no shining web to catch a sleepy moon. But there was no time for remem brances now. In a few seconds Sandy would swing long legs over the 'door and hop down She runway. . "Judy ' sweet. Til send you f a card from the Municipal Airport, but 111 probably get back before it does," he said. "And by the way, ray darling, you are in love with me, even if you won't admit it Otherwise why would you draw a perfectly nice pair of eyebrows together? See you one. week from today. Is it a date?" . "Of course it's a date, silly.

According to the story, Boggs was one day riding along the shores of one of the Uintah lakes when he came upon a dozen Indians engaged .in a shooting match, x ' v ; -w-. - -; r. The target was a partially sub-merred sub-merred lor at a considerable dis tance out in the lake. The Indians were betting a quarter each, then taking three shots at ' the log. Misses were noted by the splash in the water, while hits were of course buried in the log and made no splash. Boggs watched the match for a time then challenged the Indians, but owing to his ' fame as a marksman, he was forced to put up half a dollar against a quarter for each Indian. Loading his repeating' re-peating' rifle secretly, Boggs removed re-moved the leads from each of his first three bullets. Of course no splashes followed the filing of these "blanks," and he won. Carefully alternating between blanks and real cartridges, in order or-der to keep the Indians at the contest, Boggs was successful In winning eighteen dollars from the redmen before they refused to shoot further. Boggs then showed them the trick, later buying "them presents with the money he had won. The Indians concluded that they had been swindled fairly artd took the deception in good part. j A week or so ' later, Boggs " ' 1 1 j-iLj 1 1 1 """"" ' mill in "I i TMreiraieWraeMNa - ' i -.4 - -: "Going somewhere tonight, TJudy?" he asked.

When you loved a . man you might as well admit it, at least to yourself, she was thinking. No fun keeping a secret there. Anyway, Any-way, Sandy knew her heart did acrobatics when he came around. Not always Just nearly always. But marriage was something else. How could a girl marry a man who wandered ... to Spain . . . to China . . . any place that intrigued in-trigued him? What if his shoul ders were broader than other shoulders, and his rough, bright hair wouldn't stay combed? What if he had come through Harvard with honors in science? ! If she could transfer her feeling feel-ing for Sandy to someone else, Philip Rogers, for instance. And why couldn t she,- she wondered, as she came back to the waiting room. Philip was : good-looking, too. Not carelessly ' attractive as Sandy was. More polished,' though. There were at least 14 girls around the office who would buy a new perfume and a dinner frock worth five times its price in silk or lace, 'for the sake of a date with Phil, i The couturier was not on the ship.
