The armies of the delinquent youths come from the slum homes of the country. Surveys have been made in Salt Lake and reports given which make many of the leaders blush, especially those who have come Izce to face with the stark poverty that exists. The situation cries to heaven for a public change of heart and mind. The administration has done much and has provided a law under which homes may bo built. But even this is not enough. The price is too high and the terms too severe. It must be made cheaper and easier for the needy to obtain and pay for a home. The government ha now projected a move to use mas production in furnishing homes at a cost of $900 and sell them at S10 a month. This is fine and should be taken advantage of everywhere. Salt Lake needs thousand of such homes. 'J his city and Btate and nation should be ashamed of the slum quarters, the decaying neighborhoods and the almost indescribable poverty that exists.

It is said on good authority that this office is operated in a most efficient manner on $2,000 a month. This wouldnt be pin money for some of the other offices. .

Autobiography of Andrew Jenson, Historian Andrew Jenson, historian, has presented us with an autographed copy of his latest and likely his final profusely illustra book, his Autobiograpy, a fine, ted and highly informative work of over 600 pages. Many thanks. We trust that the volume will find its ay into many Utah homes, but we feel certain that there will be a greater demand for it after the author has gone away to the other shore. In the matter of ecclesiastical history ihe name of Andrew Jenson is not only famous in Utah but in many parts of the civilized world where he has traveled and worked and studied for more than half of his 87 years Ilis indefatigible labors and their results lie like recervoirs of knowledge about his people. lie has built for himself and for his church a monument that all tlie abrasions of time cannot destroy.

We are in most hearty accord with the following expressions from Dr. John A. Widtsoe: In his chosen field the historian. Andrew Jenson, has rendered great service to his people.
