The United States has always been Gold vitally interesting in the Standard, and even today is perhaps the ' most anxious to return to that as a ' standard of value.

On the other hand, the British leaders oppose a rigid gold standard since that vast empire owns , only $1,250,000,000, and, of course, after , it has paid its war debt it will own i ed . far less. Surprising as it may seem,. France, in a financial way, is in a much better position since that small country owns nearly $500,000,000 which Snakes them second only to'that. of the U.- - S.

Logan, Utah Aerial mapping as used by the United States army and navy, will be incorporated in the elementary surveying courses at Utah State Agricultural college for the first time beginning with the fall term, September 25th, George D. Clyde, dean of the school of engineering, industries and trades, said in a staff conference today. The addition of two Stereocompar-graph- s to the surveying department has made possible instruction in aerial mapping. These instruments permit rapid, accurate, detailed map making from aerial photographs. Stereoscopic views are used to , plot streams, lakes, ridges, and other features and natural and then to add the elevations of the terraine through use of the third dimension mechanism of the instruments, pointed out Dean Clyde. Maps made frqm aerial photographs have proved more accurate and detailed than those made by the old ground survey methods and at a fraction of the cost. V. Stereocromparagrapbs are especially valuable in making' reconnaissance surveys for new roads, water conveyance structures and utility lines in rugged, remote areas. Time and costs are greatly reduced thru the use of aerial mapping methods. An understanding of the use of these instruments is highly advantageous to engineers, foresteers, and others who use maps, explained Mr. "There are still several tout qualified, women must AERIAL MAPPING COURSE TO BE TAUGHT AT USAC man-ma- In Advance WOMEN NEEDED IN R0DE0AUG.11 -- 12 LAKETOWN NEWS WOODRUFF NEWS girls outing at , Red Banks Tony Grove on Friday and Saturday of last week consisted of Rose Lambom, Connie Jean Cheney, Laura Myers, LuRene Eller; acting chaperones were Mrs. Rose Kearl, Mrs. Barbara Norris and Mrs. Gwen Siddoway.
