They are on a long trip from which they will never return. They have founded a great and glorioua atate in Utah. The advance guard of civilization with the ox teams and hand carta, who crossed the plains eighty years ago, need all the attention and praisu we can give them. Years ago we remember the 24th of July, was observed at the Lorin Furr Purk and there were almost fifteen hundred men and women numbered among the pioneers. Two weeks ago was Old Folks day at the park and a liltlu more than half the number of pioneers, as noted years ago, were there. Pioneer Day will toon be with us and it is only proper and fitting that some sort of a celebration la held here and the day spent as a tribute to the Ogden and Utah people of yesterday. n ELIMINATE HAZARDS TO AUTOISTS ON HIGHWAYS It is a very noticeable fact that in the truve) upon the main arterial highways in Utah and Idaho, the motorists encounter hazards that can be eliminated by the action of the officials of the two states. These two hazards to life Rnd limb, are the permitting of livestock to roam the highway and the other is nut making the main through road an arterial high-da- y. Every vehicle entering upon a main highway should be required to stop a few feet off of the curb line of the main road before coming upon it. We noticed on a recent rip over the main arteries of travel in Utah and Idaho, that motorists drovo upon the highway without even taking the precaution of giving any signal or going any slower. Several miraculous escapes were noted, The travel on these highways was very heavy. There were not only the resilient nutoists but there were 'motorists from almost every state in the Union going to the Yellowstone Park. On this Same main highway in Utah and Idaho there seems to bo a very common practice of farmers to use the highways for pasturing of (heir livestock. The law regarding estray cattle upon streets of cities should apply the same upon state y, car fatally injured. Utah and Idaho are forging to the front rapidly as the result of its heavy automobile traffic to the Yellowstone Park and Zion Canyon. The advertising the auto tourists have given have in a long way been a great asset to the states. Utah and iduho have some wonderful paved highways and improved dirt roads, but these roads must be maintained. The maintenance of the roads is a small cost as compared with the constant repairing or rebuilding of the roads. ABSENCE OF HAND IN OGDEN NOTED Ogden should have a municipal band. This is being shown mure and more each day when events arise that rail for the use of a band to stir up enthusiasm and patriotism here. The Fourth of July was ushered in without the noise of a band or any patriotic music or celebration. It is true we have bands here or rather bands that can be recruited, upon a few hours notice, but there is hot an official Ogden band. Ogden's lack of a band this year, necessitated the city commission hiring an orchestra of young women, to play the concerts at the Lorin Farr Park. A few years ago when the city hml a band at the park for Sunday afternoon concerts, it was the occasion for bringing out a great throng of people to the park. A good band in a city denotes progress, optimism and good cheer and Without is a great advertisement the band there Is nothing to stimulate enthusiasm. The people, seeking recreation and pleasure, will go where there is muHic and fun. Ogden has some golden opportunities in the future,- with the changing of its busi- ness skyline, its hotel and bank buildings and other signs of progress. There is a great chance to bring conventions and shows to Ogden. Instead of having the visitors to our city steal in quietly, like into a funeral service, why not meet them at the depot with a band and escort them to their hotels. IjCt's pep up and get a band before wo have the American Legion here in August and the annual Fashion Show and Harvest Show in September. JAIL CONSTRUCTION SAFER THAN OUR SCHOOLS Ruilding codes of the United States provide more protection for jail birds than they do for school children and the sick in hospitals. This is the of Norman M. Stineman, structural engineer for the l'ortlaim Ccinrnl association, after completing a survey of the situation. This surthat only two out of th-vey building codes in more than 30 cities and states provide for fireproof construction of school buildings, while ten specify absolute safety in the construction of jails and theatres. Four cities Atlanta, Ga., Cincinnati, Ohio, Syracuse, N. Y., and Tacoma, Wash. stipulate fireproof construction of all hospitals. The building code of Ohio specifies fireproof construction for all hospitals within the state. Boston, Mass., and Utica, N. Y., are the two cities that require all schools to be fireproof. Outside of schools Boston demands that all buildings over 75 feet in height be made safe from the fire menace. Uticas building laws provide for all buildings 72 feet in height, with the exception of grain elevators and manufacturing plants, to be fireproof. "Eight cities and two states make provision for the safety of their prisoners, but neglect to provide for the school children, says Mr. Stineman. Atlanta, Ga., Cincinnati, Ohio, Minnej apolis, Minn., Milwaukee, Wis., Parkersburg, W. Va., Syracuse, N. Y., Tacoma, Wash., Waukegan, 111., and the states of Ohio and Wisconsin build fireproof concrete jails to care for their prisoners. Cities that stipulate firesafe theatres are: Atlanta, Ga., Boston, Mass., Cincinnati, Ohio, Duluth, Minn. L6s Angeles, Calif., Minneapolis, Minn., Portland, Ore., Rockford, 111., Syracuse, N. Y and Washington, D. C. None of these municipalities, with the exception of Boston, provide that all schools shall be made of fireproof materials such as reinforced concrete. "Most building codes are antiquated, says Mr. Stineman. "They were passed before additional fire hazards were incurred. The law makers knew films and theatre decorations were CIVIL SERVICE VACANCIES States Civil Service has announced open competitive examinations as follows: ReSenior chemist.
