Show t OREM-GENEVA TIM-. Siona flge Jungle Will Be Explored Scientists to Investigate Primitive Aborigines Of Australia. ntACWTtfGTON. Scientists ol two nations are preparing for a hazardous expedition among the Stone Age wild men and animals of g little known corner of Australia. They will visit Arnhem Land, a region of tropical swamps and dense forests tile size of Maine, In northern Australia east of Darwin, There, despite a long-standing ban against white men, the scientists scien-tists will try to get along with and learn something about a race whose members are "true Stone Age wild men" dwelling among "stone age birds, beasts and reptiles." Announcement of the expedition, a joint U. S.-Australian venture, was made by Dr. Gilbert Grosve-nor, Grosve-nor, president of National Geographic Geo-graphic society. The society and Smithsonian in-jtitution in-jtitution will join with the Australian Austra-lian government in carrying out the project. Leader of the expedition expedi-tion will be Charles Pearcy Mount-ford Mount-ford of the South Australian museum muse-um at Adelaide. Insfcessible Territory No automobile trails exist In Arnhem Arn-hem Land, which never has been mapped except by air. So the expedition expe-dition will approach by sea and work inland up the jungle rivers or more arduously by foot. Only recently have the natives of Arnhem Land which was named for the vessel of its Dutch discoverers discover-ers in 1623 been "absolved to some degree of a mythical reputation as bad men, killers and cannibals,'; the geographic society said. ; They now are believed to be generally gen-erally friendly, although "extremely "extreme-ly wary and difficult to approach by, strangers." i And though these natives "can be, warlike on slight provocation," they are militarily backward. They! never heard of the bow and arrow.' They use in war the same wooden! spears and throwing sticks they usej in hunting. The only white men permitted to1 remain on the fringes of Arhnem Land are a handful of missionaries. Their missions were set up early In this century. A few exploring parties have penetrated inland, but, they produced little data of scientific scien-tific value. Natives Are Primitive Beings. Because Australia long ago was cut off from the rest of the world, Its natives animal and human ere among the planet's most primitive primi-tive beings. So the expedition will study mammal, fish, insect, plant and marine as well as human life. ! The terrain is so difficult that only the nomadic natives, living the 'tame way as did their ancestors of thousands of years ago, "are geared for travel" in Arnhem Land, the society said.

LIQUOR NETS UTAH DISTRIBUTION COSTS Utah's 12' 2 million dollar liquor business yielded a net profit to the state treasury of npprox'mately $3M million for ihe fiscal year 1947, in addition to more than a million dollars in state taxes levied upon liquor sales, according to a Utah Foundation Foun-dation report Released this week. Liquor profits and taxes accounted ac-counted for approximately 8 of the total revenue for Utah state government. However, the Utah Foundation Founda-tion report indicates that iiquor administration cost in Utah are higher than in any other of the 16 monopoly states states that merchandise liquors through public agencies. Thirty-two states leave the liquor trade to private merchandising, channels, deriving their revenue entirely from taxes and licenses. Cost of administration in Utah was e-quivalent e-quivalent to 7 of total liquor sales in 1946 and rose to 7.6 in 1947. Vermont showed the lowest administrative costs, equal to 2.36 of total sales. Major factors in the high administrative ad-ministrative costs in Utah, according ac-cording to the Utah Foundation study, are the relatively heavy expenditures for accounting, wages and salaries, and deliveries. deliver-ies. Utah ranked second highest in 1946 in the ratio of liquor administration salary cost to net sales among nine monopoly states which report this item. The accounting department of the Liquor Commission spent $87,307 in handling 1946 liquor accounts, or $1 for $141 of liquor sold. This compares with $1 out of $325 spent in Iowa, $1 out of $543 spent in Maine, and $1 out of $762 in Washington for liquor accounting costs. These were the only other states reporting re-porting accounting costs separately. separ-ately. Delivery costs were cut sharply sharp-ly in 1942 when the Liquor Commission Com-mission instituted delivery by state-owned trucks within a 100-mile 100-mile radius of the Salt Lake warehouse. Delivery cost was $50.40 per thousand gallons in 1936, and was cut to $30.08 per thousand gallons in 1942. However, How-ever, despite continued delivery in state-owned vehicles, the delivery de-livery cost rose to $52.18 per thousand gallons in 1947. The Utah Foundation report notes the absence of any uniform rules or policy relating to the establishment of privately-operated package agencies in preference prefer-ence to state-owned stores to retail re-tail liquors. Complete discretion is granted by the law to the Utah Liquor Commission to enter into in-to contracts with private individuals individ-uals to operate package agencies, although the law specifies that such agencies r.re to be established establish-ed by contract with individuals "engaged in the business of conducting con-ducting a retail merchandising store." While it is the stated, policy poli-cy of the Commission to establish estab-lish package agencies where the volume of hauor sold is likely to be too small or temporary to just.fy a full-time state-owned store, six of the package agencies in Salt Lake City and Ogden do a larger business than do most state-owned stores. A contract 3i MILLION; HIGH was entered into by the Commission Com-mission in 1945 with a former member of the Liquor Commission Commis-sion for a package agency in Sugarhousc. The sales volume of this agency has now become the largest of any package a-gency a-gency in the state and is exceeded exceed-ed by only six of the twenty state-owned stores. The report also emphasizes the absence of regular field audits au-dits and physical inventory checks of stores and agencies by auditors independent of the Liquor Li-quor Commission. Such independent inde-pendent field audits were made prior to 1942 by the State Auditor's Audi-tor's office, but were discontinued discontinu-ed during the war years, and have not been resumed. Administrative expenses of the Liquor Commission are not now subject to legislative control, con-trol, according to the Utah Foundation Foun-dation study, since all liquor revenues rev-enues are earmarked for the Liquor Control Fund to which the Liquor Commission has unrestricted un-restricted access for costs of administration. ad-ministration. Only net profits remaining re-maining after all administrative costs are paid are available for transfer to the state general fund, and to cities and counties under a million-dollar per year grant made to them by the 1947 Legislature. Peak fiuto Output Planned for 1948 Manufacturers Seek to Boost Production Marks. DETROIT. The nation's car and truck manufacturers have set their sights at the highest volume of output out-put ever attained in a single year. According to the best estimates available, approximately 3,555,000 cars and 1,235,000 commercial vehicles ve-hicles were made in U. S. plants last year. In planning for 1948, producers pro-ducers are aimmg at an increase of from 10 to 15 per cent, compared with the 1947 total of nearly 4,800,-000. 4,800,-000. Figures for the year 1947 are unofficial un-official and subject to revision, which could be upward as easily as downward. In any event, now that 1947 has gone, most of the car makers mak-ers admit that despite all the materials mate-rials problems they encountered, it was a good year for production and for completion of expanded facilities. facili-ties. Ahead of the industry are more problems regarding steel, particularly particu-larly in cold and flat rolled types. But the vehicle makers found the required material in 1947 for a near-record near-record production volume, although they went to unusual extremes to get it into their factories. . Their planning for 1948 is based largely upon the experiences of last year and most of them express the belief that if the Marshall plan for European relief does not bring about a rationing of materials, they will be able to get U. S. car and truck production well above five million units in 1948. The record for one year is the 5,358,420 units turned out in 1929.

Water Prospects Dark Despite Recent Snow Flurries A relatively dry January and February have darkened the prospects for sufficient water supply for the coming year, although al-though last week's snows here may bring precipitation to near normal, according to Dean K. Fuhriman, irrigation ..engineer of the Utah Agricultural experiment experi-ment station. Snow surveys made early in March indicate that water prospects pros-pects in most areas of the state are below the average for the time of year. For the Provo River watershed, water-shed, surveys made at the head of Daniels creek show a water content of about 72 percent of the normal. On the Upper Provo River, very little snow had accumulated ac-cumulated in March with the result re-sult that supplies appeared to be about 85 percent of normal. Surveys at all courses will be made on April 1 and accurate forecasts made at that time, Mr. Fuhriman revealed. If Price Is Important To You ( 1 BROWN . I wy BEESLEY MONUMENT & .

UTAH POWER & LIGHT CO A TAX PAYING COMPANY Home Ownership Local Control If 11385 THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1948 Qaulity Chix Will Pay Off, Says USAC Expert Many Utah poultry raisers are confused as to the kind of chicks to hatch or buy this spring, and how they can tell whether they are getting a good chick, according: accord-ing: to Dr. Lawrence Morris, Utah Ut-ah State Extension poultryman. "First of all, keep in mind that egg production is inherited and is passed from parent to offspring off-spring through the egg, and that when a pullet is hatched, its laving lav-ing possibilities have already been determined," he advised. Laying Factors Cited If the parents were from well-selected, well-selected, well-bred stock and the rooster was from a known high egg production hen, then the pullet pul-let has a good chance of producing pro-ducing a large number of eggs, when kept under proper conditions. condi-tions. It costs money for a flock owner to have his flock culled. blood tested, and to buy good roosters for his flock, so do not expect quality chicks at cutthroat cut-throat prices. vjwv iMKta lUM tiiuiL, lit; continued For example, it takes about three recularlv hatched chicks to produce a mature pul let, as one-half the chicks nre cockerals and some will die and be culled out. Penny Wisdom The problem is whether to buy chicks that are selling for 18c or those selling for 25c. Counting three chicks per mature ma-ture pullet means that one mature ma-ture pullet will have an original cost of 54c and another may cost 75c or a good pullet will cost about 20 cents more. At present egg prices, this means the better pullet will have to lay less than six more eggs to pay for this added cost. "Chicks of known quality will produce 200 or more eggs each. So, buy chicks on quality, not price," Dr. Morris advised. "Five good hens are worth more than 50 poor ones." USE DDT WITH CARE AROUND LAYING HENS Veterinarians are warning poultry producers to keep DDT out of the feed of laying hens. Tests show that if even a small amount of this insecticide gets into the ration of laying hens, egg production and hatchability may be impaired. In view of this, it is recommeded that all feed sacka and feed racks be covered before DDT is applied in the henhouse. hen-house. Scientists have found that air mond hulls, which have approximately approxi-mately a 25 percent sugar content, con-tent, can be converted into crude molasses for livestock.
