This picture we.s taken in the tunnel during the dedication ceremony. Scene 2-The east entrance to the Highway Tunnel. Scene 3--Lookin g out over Zion Canyon from one of the six "galleries" through which ventilation and sunlight are admitted to the Zion Mount Carmel Highway Tunnel. m most unusual Independence Day observ1tnce held In the United States occured when governors of seventeen etatee met within the famous Zion Moun~ Carmel Highway Tunnel in Southen1 Utah to pnrtlclpate In its forma' dedication to public use. liE Although It ls only 26 miles long, this highway is the greatest project <>f Its kind ever undertaken by tM U. S. National Park Service nn.:i Bureau ot Publlc Roads. Its cost was close to two million dollars, and It Incorporates two tunnels, one ~,6CO fl' r t long, ana the other more than 400 feet loug, In Its short length. Dedication ceremonies were held within the 'tongest ot the tunnels, who<;e outer wall Is pier!'Cd with six "galleries" through which ventilation and sunlight are admitted. Gallery 1, the largest of them all, was the scene of the formal dedi<:atlon. Within this gallery the stand from which various governors, National Park Servi<'e and Union Pacific officers, and other representatives of the U. S. govl'rnment and the state of Utah made their address, was erected. • Marvelous accoustics prevail at this point in the tunnel, and there was ample room tor the two thousand spectators, all of whom <:ould hear every word spoken by the speakers l'Yen when au ordinary ronversation nl tone of voice was used. Patriotic- mus!c was supplied for the occasion by sixty male members of the chorus ot the St. George, Utah, temple. With the massive bnlk of East Temple mountain rearing its head 3,200 feet and glaring tn frames ot red and white splendor abo>e the tunnel gallery, the avdlen!'C beard Mr. Albright, as master of ceremonies recall that the day was the sixty third birthday of Stephen T. Mather, his predecessor as superintendent ot the parks service, to whom he gave credit tor Inception ~ t!le Zion-Mount Carmel highway, as the roart Is oftlclully known. Mather di('d last January, arter making his last ortlclal trlv of Inspection of the work on the tunnel. With E. S. Scoyen, superintendent ot Zion aud Bryce Canyon national pflrk~, presiding, President Heber J. Grant, gave an Invocation in which he asked the divine blessIng upon tho undertaking. lie praised the cooperation of the parks service and the states of Utah and Arizona, without whose help, he said, the task would have been 1mpossible. Many engineering difficulties were encountered in building the road and tunnel through the mountain range, which Is 10,000 teet high, Involving scaling precipitous !'liffs on ropes and ladders. So close was the calculation on the tunnel which Is 5,600 feet long and 22 by 15 feet in size, that they varied only by Inches when the bores met from two directions. Declaring the work of the engineers had only to place the road where nature had Intended it should be built millions of years ago, Macdonald hailed it as "the symbol of a bigger idea of the cooperation and faith that ls taking possession of the people of the United States." Governor Dern, In the same view, said the people of Utah do not "need or want notional parks within their borders as playgrounds for local people alone, but are proud to share the::;e natural marvels with people or other states." The audience included hundreds of people of southern Utah, who bad assembled within the portal of the tunnel to join with the governors' party in dedication of the road and observanre of Indcpenden<'e day. They found the tunnel _portal and gallery gaily decked with flags and b~ntlng and chairs ;-!ac11d for their !'omfort within a rock·hewn ampithcatre. Work on the highway has been ln vrogress for the past three years, and its construction embodied 11ome unusual and remarkable engiDeerin& feats. Ita purpose 1a to Scene 4-An interior view of the new Highway Tunnel show· ing some of the difficult constructio n work which was put through by the National Park Service and Bureau of Public Roads in completing the Zion Mount Carmel Highway. Scene 5--Scene in Bryce Canyon showing some of the spec· tacular canyon walls viewed by members of the National Governor's Conference . shorten the distan!'C between three national parks, Zion, where the highway begins, and Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon national parks to the south and northeast respectively. Beginning near the Park Ranger station at the entrance to Zion National Park, the road ascends In a long series of gently rising switchbacks until it rea!'hes the sheer !ace of one of the crimson cUffs of Zion National Park. Here the longer of the two tunnels begins, and penetrates this cliff for a distance of more than a mile. The road finally emerges at the top of the plateau from which Zion Canyon has been etched eons of time by one small river. It a!'compllshes Its purpose ot shortening the distan!'Cs between the three most !'olorful of all of the twenty-two national parks in the United States. Gov. Dem Dedicates Zion· Mount ·Cannel Highway Governor Dern, in his address at the dedication !'eremonles, stressed some of the beauties of Utah scenery: "It Is pecularly appropriate that this great highway should be dedicated to the use ot the people o! the United States on our !'ountry's birthday. "It Is also fitting that this ceremony should he held in the presen!'e of the governors of so many of Utah'<! sister states. Their presen!'C here is emblematica l of the Interest ot all the states in this project . It Is as 1! the people of the whole nation were here tills morning to see this marvelous undertaking placed at their servi!'e, "ThE're may be differences ot opinIon 11mong the western states In regard to the national policy of reser· vlng their land and minerals from private entry, but there is no differ· ence of opinion among them In regard to the national parks. These areas of outstanding beauty are chiefly valuable tor their recreational uses. "We do not need them nor wa~t them as playgrounds for our own people alone. We are happy that they have been set aside for the enjoyment ot all who may be attracted by their charm. They are the show places of our nation, ln which every American holds a share of ownership. While Zion National park and Bry!'e canyon happen to be situated within the boundaries of the state of Utah, yet we are proud to share our ·ownership of these natural marvels with all the rest of our fellow Americans, and we say to them : Come out and Inspect your property. You will be proud ot It, and your pride of ownershir wlll make you a better, more in the best patrlo~c American sense. "Zion National park has sometimes been referred to as Yosemite done in oil. I trust you have all experienced the sense ot hush and awe and mystery that comes over one as he looks up at the Great White Throne or gazes from the Temple of Sinawawa over toward Angel's Landing. With Its gloomy gorge inclosed by she!'r red and white cliffs 3000 teet high on either side, It is no wonder the Indians regarded it as a spirit land, to be entered only with fear an(i veneration. "When you come to Bryce Canyon National park you will find au entrancing fairyland with its spires, towers and minarets . of the most exquisite hues, so delicately curved by nature that 'stone r esembles lace! Statues, monuments, cathedrals-the eye can pick them out uous beauty lingers long In the memory as a masterpiece of the Giver of all good and perfect gifts.

"There were nine young women In the same plane with me," the mayor said, "and they all seemed to be enjoying my company, when I noticed that one · pink-fal'ed young thing In the back or the plane had her eyes shut. She seemed to be dreaming. Me!'hankally , I stepped up to her and kissed her fair cheek.

Profanity Discouraged Antlswear clubs ·are being formed among British railway men to curb the too frequent use of profanity.

That box was opened after one week, and as a result $2.75 was sent to the orphan fund of the National Union of Railway Men.
