At pres mrs Wasatch drive and Canyon road are the two principal entrances to road City creek canyon. Canyon leads from the city proper, traversing its entire length close to the creek bed. Still another approach may be made from the west which leads past the stalely capital, conspicuously situated at the north end of State street. Farther up. the canyon widens and nestled in the shade on the north bank of City creek is Rotary park with its rustic tables and seats. The sparkling waters from the snow-cla- d peaks to the east tumble past over rugged boulaers and through . the thicket to the reservoir several miles below to make up part of the jcity's famous water supply. These comforts, together with the surrounding natural beauty, .have made Rotary park one of the long; favored spots for the Sunday outing. - . The automobile road extends for some distance beyond with changing scenery to welcome the eye at every turn. The country beyond on either side of the canyon Is ideal for the hlger. Its proximity to Salt Lake affords an early start and a few hours takes one to the mountain 17, 1020 LI ruMtMMMj off tarting th fastness and rugged beauty.

Old Theory By ALFRED BEEVES, General Manager of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. "From what was termed a luxury industry twenty-fiv- e years ago, the rapid development of highway transportation has pushed the saturation point farther away, until the automobile industry is now rated first, with production in 1928 of cars, trucks and busses, valued' in excess of $3,500,000,000, and acknowledged to be one of the keystones of our present American prosperity. Added Efficiency Makes I'p FyT Addition in Cost. "No longer do we hear dissertations by learned men about the incomes c the people and their ability to own motor vehicles. "Rather-dthese economists hasten to admit that the added efficiency, the broad education and the g advantages of the motor car are such that one can no more afford to be without it than he can afford to be without a telephone and in this connection it is worth noting Jhat we now have more motor vehicles than telephones 23,000,000, as against 18,750,000. "All this because the latest form of transportation supplies an independent form of travel which the American and we believe, the people of other countries will continue to use at an increasing rate. health-givin- I AUTOMOBILE GLASS Put iii While You .Wait GLASS TOR EVERY Pl'ltPOSK HARVEY'S .

"The motor car is one of the few articles lhat everybody wants, which undoubtedly accounts for the 20,200.-00- 0 passenger cars and 3,000,000 trucks and busses registered in the United States or 78 per cent of all the motor vehicles in the world.
