Hull of the Peoria district lias been selected hv President Coolidge to represent the United Stutes at the international good roads conference which opens next October In Iiuenos Aires, Argentina. He has wired his acceptance. It is expected that every nation on the globe will be represented and the leading engineers of every nation will be asked to appear upon the program. South America is planning an extensive program in road construction.

Considerable time was devoted to Illinois and the party was entertained by the state highway department and a number of cities located upon the principal bond issue hard roads. The October international conference Is the sequel to this tour. As far back as 1910, when most of the farmers and land owners and many city residents were lukewarm or openly hostile to hard roads, Hull risked his political existence by advocating the bond issue for concrete highways. He wus one of the leading advisers and strongest supporters of Governor Lowden in the lal tor's effort to launch the state bond issue. The credit for the formation of the Illinois State Highway Improvement association goes largely to Hull.

Mr. Penrose was born February 4, 1832, at Camberwell, London, England. Being of a naturally studious and inquiring turn of mind, with quick perception and remarkable memory, he speedily mastered at school the common rudiments of education. He read the scriptures when only 4 years old and early was well versed in the doctrines of the Bible. This paved the way for his acquaintance with the subsequent acceptance of Mormonism. He joined the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daSaints in London, May 14, 1850, and was the only member of his fathers family to embrace the faith. His scriptural attainments and spiritual inclinations soon brought him to the notice of the presiding authorities of the London conference and in January, 1851, when not 19 years of age, he was ordained an elder. Two months later he was sent on a mission to Maldon, "in Essex, to break new preach the gospel, ground and build up branches of the church. This he did in opposition to the wishes of his friends, and at the sacrifice of a life position in a government office. Starting out without a penny, he reached Maldon, after having had to sleep out at night for the first time in his life. Here he met considerable opposition, but succeeded in building up branches of the church in Maldon, Danbury, Chelmsford, Colchester and other places. He baptised many of both sexes, many of whom afterwards came to Utah. It was during this period, on January 21, 1855, that he married Miss Lucetta Stratford of Maldon, sister of the late Bishop Edward Stratford of Ogden, who was brought into the church with his family. y y ment methods in handling prisoners will take place with the completion of tlie federal industrial institution for women at Alderson.
