Show THE CITIZEN 6 production. But, industry without art is brutality. We can, with machines, attain also a measure of quality and beauty. If we dont, ours will be the loss, in cold dollars and cents. Art is just so practical that to ignore it means curtailment of trade. Says John Cotton Dana in Forbes, the machine is leading us to new vistas of design in the objects of every day life. A new era is dawning an era of art in industry. BAMBERGERS STRENGTH INCREASING ON THE eve of the nomination it looks like certain victory for Ernest Bamberger, in his race for the United States Senate. And where could Utah find a better representative for their growing state? Name a man who. has done more for Utah and her people. Name a man who understands Utahs industries, problems and needs as does Ernest Bamberger., It .would be hard to find that nian. A Utah boy, bom, reared and educated in these valleys of the mountains. All of his time has been spent in the state, save when he received his higher education at Cornell and the period when he served Uncle Sam during the EATING DESERT SCENERY. Americas sweet tooth is ruining the desert scenery of California, according to Col. Chas. B. Wing, State Director of Parks. Cactus Candy is becoming so popular that the cactus plants are being stripped to provide material for the increasing demand. Col. Wing urges that a portion of the California desert be set aside as a state park so that this phase of natural scenery may be preserved. Arizona also manfactures an abundance of this candy and she, too, will doubtless realize, before long, that the chief beauty of her desert is rapidly being destroyed. World War. His best efforts have been put forth in developing Utah and her resources. The money, he ias acquired from his work has not gone out of the state for development of foreign resources, but has been put back into Utah industries to create more work for her people and enrich her coffers. Ernest Bambergers faith hl Utah has never wavered. He has given his best and his all to his state. He knows if Utahs hidden resources are developed she will rank first among the states of the Union. He also realizes that the development and growth of the west today means more to the country as a whole than any other one thing. Ernest Bamberger has always been an ardent, faithful worker in and a staunch supporter of the Republican party. His wide and varied business experience, coupled with his sound judgment, common sense and deep understanding of Utah and her people, makes him the logical man to represent Utah in the United States Senate. - THE PENNSYLVANIA. Railroad and other, interests are planning a seventy 'foot wide double decked steel and concrete elevated roadway stretching between Philadelphia and Atlantic City, N. J. The project costing $500,000,000 will replace the electric lines between the two cities. The first deck will be used by a new high speed combined gas and electric car. The upper deck will be used, for automobile traffic only, with a toll charge which will include the privilege of using the company garage in Atlantic City, the largest of its kind in the world. ARIZONA CLEARING HIGHWAYS. ARIZONA has decided to clear its landscape of advertising signboards and give the sightseers a chance. The State Highway, Commission, orders all billboards removed from the right of way of the main highways. Any of the signs that are not removed by the owners will be torn down by the employees of the Commission. ART IN INDUSTRY. i HAS ART any place in industry? Does the buyer of a hat, a suit of clothes, a pair of shoes or an automobile care how it looks ? Henry Ford has had to take into account the looks of his new car. We turn out all the textiles we need, yet we import nearly a billions worth' a year, why? , As a manufacturing nation, we are obliged to compete in the markets of the. world. When other nations give heed to appearances, we may not safely ignore them. In the designing of automobiles and bathroom and kitchen fixtures, a forward step has been taken. Kohler of Kohler is a mark of distinction when it comes to bathtubs. This is a machine age: wherefore, the habit has grown of thinking mostly in terms of mass - . . a ii'Kv Last year a large group of students from the United States visited Norway, Sweden and Denmark. This year the boys in whose homes they were guests are being entertained in their homes in America. This is a wonderful move and is not only educational to the young students making the trips but will be instrumental in cementing friendships which cannot be lightly broken. A new group of students is making the tour to Norway, Sweden and Denmark this year. CONSTRUCTIVE STATESMANSHIP. BETWEEN a third and a half of Mexicos popu- A REAL KING. So they call Gustav V. of Sweden because his simple, moderate mode of living and conscientious interludes of pecae. The Indians longing for his ancient heritage, his urge for supremacy, has been the underlying, dominating factor in all of effort to perform his duties is making him an example for all other royal personages. His style of living has exerted a wonderful influence on his government. Moderation is the rule everywhere in Sweden and the Kings example has benefited the country to a remarkable degree. Prohibition is the leading issue in the present Swedish campaign, to be settled by votes this fall. It was the leading subject in the parliament, or riksdag, just ended. Various schemes have been tried in the past. The drys made a fight for total prohibition in 1923 and just missed victory by a narrow margin. The system of restricted sales was then adopted, and at first worked badly. There was an actual increase in drinkables and drinking. A fight was then made for local option. As in the United States the fight has largely been between the rural dry population and the city wets. The present system permits each taxpayer to buy not more than four liters of spirits each month. This has resulted in a notable decrease in drinking and drunkenness. Now both sides claim the credit for this condition. Now both are more farmers, laborers and teachers in the riksdag than in any other European parliament. The farmers are now ready to make the fight of their lives for a bone-dr- y Sweden, and it looks like they might succeed. DEATH BY GAS. Much ha$ beep said lately about the' inhumanity of man toward the poor stray cats and dogs and the painful deaths which are inflicted on them. Everett, Washington, has assured all stray cats and dogs a painless death by means of gas. A contract has been let for the erection of a lethal chamber which will soon be in operation. There has been much publicity about the disgraceful condition at the city pound and we must not forget that this publicity is spread over the country and is a blot on the fair name of our city. Why not follow Everetts plan ? . . VISITS EXCHANGED. ' lation is pure Indian; a strong strain of Indian blood runs through nearly all the rest.

Whether these are white clouds or dark clouds he doesnt state. Dark clouds would not be so pleasant as cities have so much darkness during the winter and the sun shine is necessary to our health. Bischoff also claims his invention will prove a wonderful thing in time of war as the clouds will obscure the city and prevent bombing. FALSE CLOUDS TO COUNTERACT HEAT. During the extreme hot spell which the people of Berlin recently suffered Johannes Christian Bischoffs inventive brain got busy and discovered what he claims will be a wonderful thing to counteract the heat in large cities, chemicals which will form false clouds over the towns and them. Barring the Indian, there is no lastingly cohesive element in the population from which a stable government can be securely formed. Government by foreigners is unthinkable. Juarez, a pure Indian, is in every quarter regarded as the best President Mexico has had. Amaro, an Indian, now heads the army; Diaz, another, leads the church. The Indian shows unconscious purpose consistency. Fortified, equipped to handle problems of state, he would soon manifest capacity for wise administration and become an influence for good. In the United States the Indians cannot withstand the tutelage that has been forced upon them. Among them are thousands with education and training such as Mexico needs. Here they are a problem. In Mexico they would become valuable citizens. To encourage their migration to Mexico, with the consent and cooperation of her government and our own, would mean a step in constructive proportions. statesmanship of history-makin- g . NO COMPETITION. IN THE OPINION of H. J. Klinger of the Chevrolet Motor Co., there is no competition between the airplane and automobile. There will be no more competition between airplane and automobile than there is between the newspaper and the radio," Klinger stated. When the radio first began broadcasting newspaper dispatches, there was talk of supplanting the newspaper. the newspaper prints radio news, and the news items broadcast by the radio rather whet the appetites of the newspaper readers. Each one serves the other. I believe the airplane and the automobile will follow similar lines of development. I believe that for every airplane that goes in the air at least two automobiles will go on the ground. .The owner of the airplane will need an automobile to take him from his home to the airport. He will need another car to take him from the landing field down town to his destination. Meanwhile his wife and family will need a car at home while his is parked at the airport awaiting his return. Every flight will call into use at least two or three cars. . Today THE FIRST motorist camp in France is to be established in the French Alps. a |
