Burns wrote: “Nature’s charms the hills and woods the sweeping vales and foaming floods are free alike to all” Besides the great national parks and monuments known to all the world and visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists every season there are many beautiful resorts canyons lakes and mountain dells worth seeing The five national forests of Utah alone containing about 7500000 acres and the other five that overlap from adjoining states are full of interest and beauty The Ashley forest on the eastern slope of the Uintah range covering peaks over 13000 feet high with glacial formations and more than 500 picturesque lakes is already accessible although not yet traversa- ble in all directions The Kaibab forest reaches to the rim of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado It is a sanctuary

national emblem of the new republic a flag designed by George Washington and Robert Morris and made by Betsy Ross It had a field of 13 stripes of alternating red and white with a blue square in the upper inside corner on which 13 stars were sewn representing as one of its sponsors said “a new constellation” Various modifications of star arrangements appeared from time to time followed by official corrections but it was not until 1912 that the proportions of the flag were definitely fixed by congress Four federal statutes have been enacted with reference to the emblem: One stipulates that no part of it may be used as a trademark or for advertising purposes one authorizes its display on “Mother’s day" another penalizes its desecration or mutilation still another calls for dismissal of any employe of the government who refers to it in an abusive or insulting manner Flag day is an occasion for patriotic reflections and for the rededication of citizenship to the ideals and institutions of this republic This year it signalizes a return of hope to a depressed people and an awakening of political enthusiasm essential to the perpetuity of popular government it constitutes an answer to foreign critics who predict the decline of democracy and a defiance of alien propagandists who have taken advantage of the passing depression to try and foment discord and dissatisfaction a day of rejoicing of thanksgiving of devotion to the constitution and the unwritten principles of free government equal opportunities and justice a day of devotion to the “flag without a stain" A By McCutcheon Employment By FREDERIC J HASKIN WASHINGTON D C— Three outstanding facts are recognized at Washington as characterizing the current economic situation Despite substantial reemployment in the consumption industries from seven to nine million people according to varying estimates reiriain unemployed The construction industry remains at low ebb although billions have been spent dn public works With heavy excess reserves the banks are reluctant to furnish capital for new building Could the Construction indus try be stimulated by an adequate supply of capital an amazing number of the unemployed would be absorbed according to analyses made by government expert at Washington While there has been the most advance in all astounding branches of the construction art it is a branch of modern activity whldh in most lines has not reduced employment because of technological innovations Centuries before the time of Joseph the Carpenter the carpenter was the most important artisan employed in the construction of He still is The bureau buildings of the census shows that in spite of all the modern machinery carpenters still account for 36 per cent of all workers employed on buildings By contrast structural steel workers account for but 1 per cent It is indubitably true that modern machinery today builds roads with less labor than the Romans required and rears huge structures like Boulder dam with less labor than the Egyptians required to build the pyramids Nevertheless for the industry as a whole innovations have resulted in the employment of more not less labor Just as the introduction of the automobile has created millions of jobs which never existed before so the improvements in building construction have increased the demand for labor when the industry is active Equipment Absorbs Labor Modern plumbing is but a fraction of the Improvements in housing There is electrical equipment from the lighting systems which even farmhouses now have to electric washers refrigerators ironers and so on these facilities often being a part of the residence equipment at construction Elevators have added another large labor contingent which is nev An entire new industry associated with building construction is rising It is the air conditioning industry It takes no necromancer to visualize the time when air conditioning will be almost as universal as furnaces The employment added by this industry is a sheer net gain In 1925 the building industry-struct- ures alone and not including roads dams bridges and the like —reached a total of more than $4000000000 Employment was full and wages were high Year by year there was a falling off because of the deficit in building By 1929 total building accounted for $3000000000 After that the falling away was precipitate Work stopped almost as though a conjurer’s hand had tapped the shoulders of the workmen By 1934 the total spent for building had fallen to a little under and this included repairs and replacements The stun was of what had been only spent in 1925 and this in spite of the fact that the population was greater $500-0000- one-eigh- th Upturn in Building The exigencies of the depression were such that many buildings in existence were torn down because the owners desired to save the taxes which those buildJf vacant lot is ings cost them assessed at less than one with a miliion-dolla- r building on it It is estimated that $2000000000 worth of such structures in cities were destroyed But with the return of business activity it is a foregone conclusion that those vacant lots must be built on again The deliberate razing of these thousands of buildings has gone to enhance the shortage of structures Last year showed the first upturn in 10 years For a decade the building trend had been down and down The year's building was trifling compared with building in previous days It totaled only about $750000000 but still it marked a reversal of the previous trend So far in 1936 permits and contracts have shown a continuation of the rise and there is good reason to expect that it will continue If only the upward trend of building can continue and reach something ' like previous
