It seems that such a measure would add greatly to the hazzard o: pedestrians who have occasion to cross the avenue in the congested district It is well to have all cars come to a full stop before entering the avenue from the east or west but there is a question that it will be well to make Ogdens main business street an unobstructed speedway from the Idaho line to the business district o. Salt Lalfa City. During the past week stop signs lights have been installed on Wes Temple street in Salt Lake Cityan it is planned to install lights at intersections on other streets. On State street, In Salt Lake City, which is an arterial highway, both stop signs ant stop signal lights are maintained. A Ninth South and State streets the signal light was removed, but was replaced after a short time. : non-sto- all-ye- ar air-ma- nt $4,500,000 FOR A COLORADO NATIONAL PARK In an interview with Congressman Edward F. Taylor of Colorado in Denver recently, the congressman made the statement that Mesa Verde National nark, in the state of Colorado, got $4,500,000 last year, and wil get more this year. This is interesting information out here in Utah where such amounts have never been received for park improvements. The Utah natural bridges are without a peer in le world, but they ran only be reached hy pack trails. The of Utah's delegation in congress is called to this statement o:r the Colorado congressman, who. by the way, is a democrat. at-tenti- on LESS AUTOS MORE KILLINGS The number of automobiles manufactured in the United States this year was smaller than last year, bu the number of persons killed by automobiles was 3 per cent greater :n of the large cities. It is seventy-si-x expected that the motor car production in 1928 will be 30 to 40 per cent larger than in 1927. On that basis there will be another alarming jump in the death toll unless people can be taught to exercise more caution. : TIIE FARMER AND THE NEW AGE Our great new era of industrial, business and mechanical perfection has given many comforts and commodities to the farmer. The radio, electric lights and power, the telephone, railroad expansion, the automobile all have done their bit. But one of the greatest gifts of all has come into general farm use since the war the tractor. Plowing that would have taken a week under old methods has become the work of a day. Irrigation trenches are dug with comparative ease. Roadmaking has been revolutionized by the squat, queer track-layin- g machine that is unaffected by weather, or soil conditions, or seemingly insurmountable THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAK ARMS" The United States has been criticized as a country of freak laws. Our people may go wrong occasionally through lack of information or misinformation on a question of public interest, but in the long run they think straight and act straight; and the best evidence of this fact is the 160 years of growth and prosperity which out nation has enjoyed.

The coalmans national anthem: Beautiful Snow. No, brother, Christmas spirit docs not mean moonshine. Thanksgiving is over. Now to get rid of the hang-ove- r. The cold wave has brought with it the usual crime wave. Certainly not! Thats the alcohol in the radiator you smell. Wail of a sheepherder: Mutton, mutton, whos got my mutton." The longest way round is far too short for lovelorn young couples. A modern dance has been characterized as a survival of the grittiest. You can't blame your wife entirely for that flat taste in the fruit cake, llow did you vote? The turkey is a noble bird, and who would say to him nay when he is on ones table on Thanksgiving day. Why did we, in a burst of generos-ity- , give that pretty good overcoat to the Salvation Army last July? Dad is all ready starting to scratch his head, and trying to explain that This will be a pretty slim Christmas for me. Alcohol used in the radiator of a motor car is a splendid thing: if used in the radiator of reckless drivers, it is too often fatal. To those who long for an sleigh ride, we suggest: Don overcoat, wrap up in blanket, place feet in tub of ice water, and vigorously jingle sleigh bells. Get, while the gettings good. Ogden merchants invite you to visit with them. Your time will be very profitably taken up, as everything for everybody is being shown in all of the most attractive modes and at attractive prices, too. The wise housewife will start today to do her Christmas shopping, while the selections are of the choicest. Men, also, should get busy; however, the average mai does not always show the nature wisdom in purchasing that is common practice with the fair sex. Ogden is assured a place in the aviation world. An airport anc landing field is rapidly becoming a reality, and this city will be on the il route. As sugrecognized column in this several weeks gested ago, an airport of first quality wil be one of Ogdens greatest assets. Buy Till it Hurts" read a large sign in a Salt Lake hurrah sale store window. A bowlegged gent, smoking a short, black briar, spew; considerable time looking over the merchandise throughout the shop. Finally he reluctantly purchase! two spools of thread for a nicke and left the store, groaning audibly. We will not venture a guess as to his nativity. In making division of departments, the incoming city commission proposes as follows: Mayor Francis, public safety, finance and cemetery Williams, waterworks, parks and health; Peery, streets, engineering and public improvements. Condensed, the program for the solons would read somewhat like this: Francis to get cemetery; Williams takes water; Peery due for streets. Upon a time there was a gink who was supposed to know; he used to muse and write and think about the Beautiful Snow. And as a chili within the house, where all was warm and bright, we sat aa quie as a mouse, and thought that bird was right. Time passed; we grew to manhood, and had the world to buck; we soon found out a man could not live alone on lurk. When wintry blasts upon our face would fiercely beat and blow, we wished that poet to a place where there isn't any beautiful (?) snow. Auto accidents are on the increase out of all proportions to the increasing number of motor cars, and it is an assured fact that more drastic traffic laws will have to be put into effect before that certain irresponsible, crazy class of motorists can be curbed in their wanton maiming and killing. A certain number of auto accidents are unavoidable, but traffic experts emphatically declare that over eighty per cent of the auto accidents are due to pure carelessness and, in many cases, utter disregard for law, order or human. life. Minimum fines and court lectures will not curb the deplorable number of serious and fatal crashes, where it is shown that the driver docs not use ed HOLTIIER FIELD A PLACE OF INTEREST Ilolther air field was a place of considerable interest Sunday, and hundreds of Ogdenites visited the fiek during the day. . Two commercia planes from Salt Lake visited the field and made local flights for the edification of the public. Holther field is located on a federal specification highway and wil be accessable in all kinds of weather, a feature that will prove of great adround field. vantage for an It also has the advantage of being close in to the business district. Contractor Ora Bundy has two hangars under way, one for Ogden Areo dub, lessees of the field, and one for the Red Raven Areo club. Mr. Bundy is the of the Ogden Areo club and chairman of the American Legion areonautics committee. It is 1robable that contracts will soon be the erection of additioiia . , hangars. The local club has made arrangements for improvement of the field, by participating in the profits o commercial fliers, and the leasing of hangar space.

For some time there has been an effort made to prohibit the ownership of small arms although the second amendment of the constitution of the United States says: The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Target practice and good marksmanship has been part of the life of the normal American boy. Legislation to prohibit this on the theory that it would reduce crime is a mistake, for the criminal would still get his guns from sources outside the United States. As a matter of fact, most of tne worst crimes are not committed with a gun. Hatchets, axes, clubs, knives and other instruments take a greater toll. In their honest desire to bring about law enforcement in this country, it is a question of whether the people will hastily adopt a measure which in the long run would simply make it easier for criminals to carry on their work. EVERYONE TO HAVE AN AIRPLANE Clarence Through mass produst ion the flyer hopes to produce an airship which will sell for around $1200 to $1500 when once his proposed factory strikes its stride. The planes will be a small machine of the monoplane type, about 20 feet long and having a wing spread of about 30 feet. The machines are to be fool proof, capacity and weigh around two-issseng- er 00 pounds. The motor will be air cooled and from CO to 75 horsepower. The con- templated speed of the plane is 100 miles per hour. Flying instructions will be furnished to each purchaser. It is hoped to have planes on the market soon after the first of the year. Bigelow and Barnes Honor Pioneers of Echo Dam Project (Continued from page 1) Weber, Davis, Morgan and Summit counties met at Morgan to reach an agreement on the distribution of water. The meeting broke up in disor- der. lie recalled a second meeting at which also ended without results, and was followed by 325 injunction suits brought by users of water in the lower sections. Mr. Allen told of the selection about twenty-fiv- e years ago of the present Echo site. He told of .touring into the mountains from which flows the water to be stored, mentioning Mr Dorcmus, then state engineer, as having a prominent part in this work. Mr. Doremus was given particular praise for his vision and his work in surveying the Echo site. Among the other speakers were County Commissioner Stratford, who dealt in early reminisences; W. W Armstrong, the Salt Lake banker, toll Mr. Allen that he had converted him to the cause of the Echo dam many years ago. Mr. Armstrong made a strong plea for more acreage to keep our boys and girls from peopling other states. We raise the best boys and girls in the land, so why not keep t them here in the best state in the land? queried Mr. Armstrong, as he callei attention to the urgent necessity for more land. E. P. Ellison, president of the Da vis and Weber Counties Canal company, brought on the favorable price at which farmers may buy water stored in the Echo dam. o; Joseph R. Murdock, the Weber River Water Users association, praised the citizenry of Utah and added his compliments to the pioneers in reclamation work. W. H. Wattis amplified the remarks of Mr. Armstrong for a bigger ani better opportunity for the young people of we state by more natural resources and opportunities. He said that the government is rigid in enforcement of all conditions attending storage dam construction. ,W. O. Creed, of Provo, speaking briefly, said that it was no trick to get an appropriation of $3,600,000 for Utah inasmuch as Idaho had already received $20,000,000, but it was a res job to retain this appropriation for three years while the plans for the Echo dam was being laid. Credit for this was given Mr. Bigelow and associates. Other speakers were C. Clarence Neslen, mayor of Salt Lake City, who paid a fine tribute to tho pioneer promoters of the Echo reservoir; Mayor George E. Browning, of Ogden; George M. Bacon, state engineer; E. O. Larsen, U.
