COMMENTS State Road Gets Much Discussion At Sugar House Rotary Session . With two major projects underway to retain Highway 40 through the the business district, Charles Petty of the Petty Motor Company and Lawrence Clements of the Clement's Tourist camp gave reports to members of the Sugar House Rotary club at the regular Thursday noon luncheon at Weasku Inn. At a special board meeting Tuesday evening, the matter of Mr. Clement's project, thant keeping the highway at its present location from the mouth of Parley's canyon to Twenty-firSouth Instead oi, cutting a new road from the canyon mouth that would run in a northwesterly dlrec tlon between the old road (along the boulevard) and the one Just com' pleted last year. Mr. dements contends that by so doing, one of Salt Lake's natural winter playgrounds that is within the reach of everyone would be ruined as it would be necessary for sleigh riders and skiers to cross the highway from the take-of- f point at the base of the montains. To keep this highway In tact, Mr. dements has offered to deed a certain portion of his property to the state to do away with the sharp curve at the the Intersection of Twenty-thir- d East and Twenty-firSouth streets. Mr. Petty is working with other residents and business men of Twenty-firSouth to make it possible to keep the Highway into the South street. The state city at its present location, along Twenty-firs- t to route north across the main the take highway department proposes foothills from Twenty-firSouth to Fourth South and enter the city at st st st . st that point. Those men working on this project claim that it state to remove a highway from a business district, is unfair for the as Sugar House reaps many benefits from the tourist trade and were the highway removed it would greatly hamper the natural building of the city that is extending east of. Sugarhouse. No definite motions were passed at the meeting but a resolution was drawn up and will be taken under advisement at an early date as soon as a little further conde ration is given the state road commission to view the proposed projects.

On November 10, 1775, a Marine force was created by resolution of the Continental Congress, to be called the First and Second Battalions of American Marines, under the command of a colonel. The first battle in which some Marines were active wai the capture of the English forts of New Providence, Bahamas, in February, 1777. After the Revolution this force was disbanded and was not until 1798, from which time it has had an uninterrupted existence. The Marine corps has taken part In every war in which the United States has been engaged from the Revolution to the present time and also has taken part in what might combat" in be called peace-tim- e almost every section of the world, states a writer in the Detroit News. The Marine corps performs certain duties that do not fall within the sphere of either the army or navy, such as guarding navy yards and stations at home and abroad, and furnishing detachments for landing forces to protect American lives and property in foreign countries, for duty on board ships of the fleet, and for expeditionary forces to serve with the fleet in war.

The betrayer wanted Bird to work for him. Meanwhile Bird was charged with desertion and a reward offered for his capture. On the pretext there was money due the seaman for service in the war, Birds betrayer took him to Erie, Pa., to collect. Here he was seized and ordered shot, and the man received the reward for turning him over to the authorities. Perry heard of the seaman's plight and came to plead for his life but he arrived in Erie just as the guns of the firing squad barked death for Bird. First to Throw Corves The first baseball pitcher to throw a curve was William Dee, an amateur of Chester, N. J., who discovered by accident that such a thing could be done, according to a writer in the Washington Star. He was practicing with a ball that had a tom cover, and noticed that if he held it in a certain way a surprising war. curve resulted. At that time no batter had ever seen a curve, and when Dee got himself in a hole with the Commodore Perry Arrived he could Invariably fool him Too Late to Save Seaman batter, with the strange ball.

These are usually old lions, notes a writer in the Los Angeles Times, which have not the speed and agility to catch their natural prey and have become by first preying on the domestic animals of man and then on the men themselves, as they discovered how slow and helpless and what easy prey man really is. But there have been instances of young, healthy lions developing a taste for human flesh.

Scientists at the Armour Institute of Technology applied pressures as high as 600,000 pounds per square inch to water, and although we were taught at school that water is incompressible, it not only changed to half its volume but Solid Tit-Bi- ts became a solid with a melting point of 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Under such pressure hydrogen gas can be made to pass through the walls of a steel container, for the steel is badly affected and its tensile strength reduced by half. Incidentally, anyone can obtain a pressure of 500,000 pounds per square inch at home by pressing a needle point against glass until the needle snaps. i I ! half-ccntu- Mon-ticell- air-ho- se well-know- Forget-Me-N- eye. d; Near-Sighte- self-traini- Kings There must be Image on each 1st FIXATION malcular bell-shap- ed kinky-taile- Japanese Dog Bows at Shrine of Master e so-call- far-sight- ed First American Marines Were Organized in 1740 Visual Demands self-cultur- e, o, EH5V TERRIS ! |
