Life and mind arc o~.ssociated with matter only indirectly through the ether says he, and the ether is primarily man's habitation, not pseudo "solid matter," earth houses, automobiles and money tha 1 we call the real world. Matter reduced to atoms is only electric particles revolvin~ at frightful speed around an electric centre. The real thing is ether. Science tells us the ether is like a great $(ream of water, flowing on fore\"cr, and matter like a fisherman's net spread across the stream through which the ether fiows, that ether is essential to the oosmic scheme, that N~w.;;;u's law of 1$•avitatlon ~hould not work without 1t, and that ether is the only solid reality in the realm of i'deas. But for the average man It is hard to conceive of ether as a reality. It seems as unreal as th~ fourth dimension. Our minds are adjusted to tl • work we have to do, which isn't b:· or very important.

Grace Swensen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Swensen, of Sandy, is the innocent victim who may die, as she was crushed about the hips and legs, receiving internal injuries. L._ L. Raddo.n, whose house was hit by the wild driver, was brought to the Midvale Emergency Hospital, suffering from a broken left leg and also bruises about the body. His wife, Mrs. Raddon, also bruised and shaken up, is in a hyijterieal condition at her home from the shock of the accident. Mrs. Hardcastle together with two daughters, had driven from Draper to Sandy. Mrs. Hardcastle, who told the deputy sheriff that it was th'-second time in her life that she had drive.n an automobile, was going east on Main street in Sandy. She started to turn south on First West street to park her ear, when she lost control of the machine. The car went over the curb and sidewalk, through the yard of the Raddon home, o.nto the porch, and crashed into a wall of the house. Grace, whose parents were out of town, was lying in the front yard directly in the path of the machine. The wheels of the car passed over her body just below the hips, crushing the little girl. Mr. and Mrs. Raddon were sitting on the front porch a.nd did not have time to escape before the machine wa-s upon them. Mrs. Hardcastle and her daughters, Long Needed Survey And NOAH BROS.

Noah will be charged with involuntary manslaughter for the kill ing of Mrs. Lois Bramble and her son, James Bramble, in an automobile accident Sunday night, thru a complaint to be filed by the county attorney, it was a,nnounced. A coroner's jury, sitting Tuesday morning before City Judge Gaylen S. Young, gave the following verdict: "Lois Bramble and James Bramble came lo their death from an automobile collision occurting July 31, 1927, about 10:15 p. m. at Twenty-seventh South and State Streets, the collision ·bei,ng caused by A. W. Noah, who was driving a car while under the influence of liquor and in a reckless manner and feloniously." Forest L. Noah, a brother of the driver and an occupant of the car at the time, was not mentio.ned in th.e jury's verdict. Samuel B. Nuckols, who saw the crash. testified thaJt the Noah machine appeared to be coming North on State Street at from forty to forty-five miles an hour and that it did not swerve or slow down when it approached the Bramble machine, which had just turned to go east on Twenty-seventh South. He also stated that there were (Continued To Page Three) I A number of property owners informally petitioned the City Council in person last Tuesday eveni,ng for the installation of a "Great White Way" in Midvale, to cover the bu~iness district on both Main and Center streets. The Council authori~e:l t!1e pTeparation of plans and estimates o.n the proposition and when this report is filed, probably at the next meeting of the council, definite action can be taken, one way or another. Briefly, it is proposed to place about forty lighti.ng standards with one light of about 400 candle power on the top of each standard. The stan:lards will be approximately 70 feet apart and cover both sides of Main Street from Fourth Avenue to Center and on Center from the Ridd Motor Company to the Midvale Garage, both sides of the street. Also south on Center to the end of the City property. It is said that the cost to the property ow,ners will be about $1.00 per front foot for installation and according to present plans, the city will pay maintenance charges. It appears to the Journal that if property owners can have their property lighted in such a man.ner for the small sum of $1.00 per front foot, that all should be in favor of it. We are reliable informed that a majorjty of property owners have already signified their willingness to undertake the lighting project. It would therefore appear that only the details of the system remain to be worked out.
