No. 30 GIRL SCOUTS ORGANIZE Oa Wednesday of last week, a meeting: was held in the Commuu-it- y Church and the Girl .Scouts troupe was organized. Miss Hub-bard, of Salt Lake, who has charge of the Girl Scouts' Sum-mer home in City Creek canyon, was here and assisted in the or-ganizing. Mias Nona Njerdiu will have charge of tlfe troupe; the patrol leaders who were chosen are : Virginia Harris, Minetta Fasinar, Helen Johnson and Vivian Raw-ling- There were 33 girls who join-ed the Girl Scouts and they will hold their meetings each Monday evening at 7 o'clock in the Com-munity Church. i This Week by ARTHUR BRISBANB Men Die, Variously 14 to (Wand 50 to One Sarnoff See Ahead The Baby Will Fly ' , Maurice Graham, veteran among oourageous air mail pilots, crashed and lay unburled for six months In the mountains of western Utah. He was lost In a bllszard. Last night another pilot, Fred Kelly, of the Western Air Express, carried Graham's ashes along the route that Graham used to fly scattering the ashes as he went. Interesting idea, easily understood. Our bodies and the ashes they leave to the crematory rein 'nterest us. But where is Gi auumT Where is the oourage that carried him so far through the blizzard, over the Kaharra mountains? Men asked that question 1,000,000 years ago. They will still be asking it 1,000,000 years hence. Rats destroy every year $200,000,000 worth of property in the United States. But that is nothing compared with the harm that an Invasion of an eastern plague might do in a few weeks. If governments would spend on the destruction of rats and mosquitoes one-tent- h the amount they spent on the last war this would be a better, Safer wnrlrl. W. J. Bryan made a good guess whan he tuggeated sixteen to one as the ratio for gold and silver. The Bur-ta- u of Mines shows that, theoretically. It should be only fourteen to one. During the past 437 years the world has produced fourteen billion ounces of silver, only one billion ounces of old. That amount of silver would make a cube 114 feet square. Mexico leads the world in silver production, with 40 per cent of the total. The United States comes next Relatively, gold production has in-- 4 creased more rapidly than silver pro-duction. Nevertheless, because the na-tions have demonetized silver, gold is Dow worth fifty times as much per Dunoe as silver, although silver is only fourteen times more plentiful. Bryan oould make another good "cross of gold" speech on that. David Sarnoff, president of the Radio f Corporation of America, like all suc--' r Nissful men, has Imagination as well U exeeutive capacity. He says that television, providing "a theater for very home although the stage may be only a cabinet, and a curtain the screen, is, I believe, the distinct prom-ise of the new era of electrical enter-tainment." U . Mr. Sarnoff sees in the latest gift of icienceto the human race the promise of "a new culture." Ten million homes In the United States now "draw night-ly upoa the programs of the air for the family entertainment." Mr. Sarnoff, young and remarkably able, believes that this generation will lee the greatest actors, orators, cler-gymen and singers moving and hear their voices in their homes. That Is modern magic. President Hoover will let the Farm Board decide on additional wheat pur-tlr- - chases to bolster prices. Senator Cap-pe- r wants the board to buy 100,000,000 bushels more. Mr. Legge and the other members tell the farmer to plant less wheat and get a better price. Another member, Mr. McKelzie, asks bakers to charge less for bread at retail, increase consumption and i the demand for wheat. - ( The problem Is difficult. Whatever you suggest, you offend somebody. William Qibbs McAdoo, writing memoirs, will hkve plenty to tell, If he i writes all he knows about war, poll j tics, railroads, finance and the dollar a vcutr "nfitrlntAGra " Most Important iJ all his career Is the fact that, in the face of heavy odds, fighting Jealous corporations and poli-tical machines, he managed to build two tunnels connecting Manhattan Island with the continent. That will . remain his important work, as the Panama Canal will re--" ' main Theodore Roosevelt's important work. The interesting Lindbergh baby, to spend the hot weather at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Morrow in Maine, will fly there with his father and mother, according to report. - A flying baby only a few weeks old seems strange to us. Ten years hence babies in an airplane will be no more exciting than babies in street cars or railroad trains. The Lindbergh baby will find it hard to realize that human beings onoe crawled over the surface of the earth or water, at a "snail's pace" at 60 miles an hour. Hailstones six Inches in diameter fell recently in Bulgaria, killed five, in-cluding two children on their way to , school. Boats are missing In the Black Sea, !' Imagine millions of small sized old fashioned cannon balls falling from the sky, and you can imagine such a hailstorm. . Twenty-tw- o boats brought 1,050,000 i pounds of mackerel into Boston recent- - ' y- - The fish sold for 4 cents a pound wholesale. Some day men will get rid of fish destroyers, sharks, small whales that devour millions of salmon, etc., as farmers have got rid of wolves that de-stroyed their sheep. Then a small part of the ocean will be enough to feed the whole human j ' race, unless middle men should decide 1 throw overboard rather than sell I! & ?eaply.

The plana for the buildings have been refered back to the architects many times and many alterations and im-provements have been made and these plans have now been accept-ed and approved by the board. Bids will be received by the board up to July 28th at which time they will be opened and if satisfactory contract will be let and construction work will start iinediately. It is planned to erect the super-structure before winter so that work may continue uninterupted by the weather untill it is com-pleted. Jit will require almost a year for completion and it will be neces-sary to hold the school in the old building for another term. It is the belief of the 1oard that the delay iu starting the new plant is more than offset by the many additions and improvements pnt into the new plans. When completed, 1 his new plant will be one of the most mod-ern to be found. The estimated cost of its construction to full completion is from $350,000 to 1400,000, and it is estimated that it will be adequate for (the needs of the west end of the Jordan dis-trict for from 20 to 25 years and perhaps longer. McMullin Accepts Principalship At j Bingham High Mr. T. IL McMullin who fo rthe past 12 years has been mentor in athletics at the Bingham High I" - school has accepted the offer of the school board made some time 4 go and will become principal ; of the Bingham High School at the opening of '.. ' the Fall term. f v- - 1 Mr. McMullin succeeds Mr. H. R. Atkin who resigned the position early last spring to accept - ; a position in Southern California. It was with . some reluctance that Mr. McMullin decided to relinquish the field of athletics in favor of the y ) J position of ' principal. This position was offered t SI to Mr. McMullin some time ago ' ' his acceptance was not announced until last i!ay. T. H. McMullin The history of athletics to u youth of Bingham is synonymus with that of "Tommy" McMullin's connections with the high school. His record as coach has been outstanding; especially in basketball has his accomplishments been phenominal. ' School loyalty is ever one of the main and first considerations of every successful school and in loyalty and deportment the in fluence of "Tommy" McMullin has. been a most important asset to the school. ( In addition to his school duties, Mr. McMullin takes an active interest in civic and community affairs, he is now serving a second term as member of the Town Board. His selection by the board tc guide the destinies of the Bingham High School, is a most popular choice. ' PLAYGROUND T Last Tuesday and Wednesday brought out record crowds.

There has been at least 130 daily on the playground since the beginning of recreational play. ; Highland Boy Yankees are still ' ' m the lead in the Eskimo Pie lea-gue and have not lost a game.

Mike Lovich of the Highland 'Boy Yankees is a mental Giant, he doesn't get in many ball games but he can give you the dope on every big league ball player and big league club.

CITIZEN DROWNED Robert Halverson Loses Life While Surf Jumping CHILD IS RESCUED Lloyd Gumpert and Steve Ch&-braj- Save Girl From Ee Segundo Herald El Segundo, California Robert Halverson of 503 East Franklin avenue was drowned Friday afternoon, July 11, about 1:30 while in the surf jumping the waves with Grace, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Taylor of 302 West Colling-woo- d avenue. Mr. Halverson and his wife and little girl, Mary Allen, accom-panied by Mrs. Taylor and her two children and her sister and children of Salt Lake City, were enjoying a picnic on the beach, at the Dickinson and Gillejpk camp ground. . Only Mr. Halverson and Grace Taylor were iu the water at the lime. Mr. Halverson and the girl encountered a hole while jumping the waves or the strong undertow caused the child to be drawi dowr, it is thought. She is said to ha re found herself in difficulty and Mr. Halverson told her t take hold of his neck and he would help her. Finding himself unable ,'o aid her she said he or lercd her to swim hard an scream for help which she did. Were Within Hearing Lloyd Gumpert and St eye Cha brajez high school boys wer walking along the boulevard near by on their way to swiin. "Lloyd Gumpert and I were going swimming Friday aftern-oon," said Chabrajez. "We were walking along the boulevard when Lloyd declared he heard a girl screaming. We looked and saw her. We had on our bathing suits under Our clothes which W( quickly removed. Lloyd started for her. She grabbed him around the neck. I went out and help ed and when we got her iu sh gasped 'there's a man out there.' Lloyd went out and I ran, to i nearby store to telephone. Then were men on the beach but the, just stood and looked. "There was no phone at the store but a woman there got intr a car and weut to call up the Standard for help. A man oi hand went to Manhattan and brought a life guard. When I go' back Lloyd was pulling the mat in, I went out and we both brought him in. - - To No Avail . "Later several life guards came from Del Rey with an inhalator. R. T Hutchins, chief of police, accompanied by C. K. McConnell, and Frank Dyer of the first aid squad of the Standard refinery, went over to help, taking the in-halator, but there was nothing tc do but to assist, according to Mr. Hutchins. The Los Angeles city life sav-ing crew from Del Rey and the county life saving crew from Man hattan were both there. As tic headway was being made, ap-parently, Mr. Hutchins came to E-- l Segundo and got Dr. C. A. Wher ry who went out and administered three shots of adrenlin without effect. "If it had not been for the two boys on the bluff," said Mr. Hutchins, "the little girl un-doubtedly would have drowned. This reflects credit on the school system and Coach Harvey Hazel-tin- e for the way in which he has given instructions in life saving." Mr. Halverson 's body was re moved to Ocean Park where an autopsy was held. The report following the autopsy indicated "accidental death, by drowning." Mr. Halverson, who would have been 28 years old on Wednesday, July 16 also the fifth birthday of his only child, Mary Ellen, was born in Scanlon, Minn.
