NEW TEMPLE OF THE GODS Beautiful Spot in Southern Utah That Is Off the Beaten Trail of the Tourist. In the ordinary sense, no part of the United States properly can be called unexplored. The new Temple of the Gods, in southern Utah, is a discovery as far as the average tourist is concerned, though by no means is it unexplored or "new" territory.* A bare 17 miles to the w&t rims the well-traveled state highway from Sait Lake City to the Grand canyon. An old trail branches off from the road between Panuitch and Tropica, in Ger-field county. In the distance is Table Cliff plateau, source of the Escalante river; nearer, the broad amphitheater of the Paria valley; at his feet the New Temple itself, a veritable sunken garden, about one by three miles, of exquisite daintiness and beauty. Within its tortuous walls of marl stand obelisks and towers, castles and fortresses, impressionistic statuary and giant sculptures, kaleidoscopic in their coloring and framed by the tufted yellow pines and the red manzanita. The startling color changes and lighting effects of this great geological stage are, indeed, its most extraordinary feature. In the shifting rays of sun and cloud, the tall, slender shafts and ornamental turrets gleam white, glow suddenly to a cherry heat and suddenly cool to purple black.—J. C. Alter in Popular Mechanics Magazine. LEGAL NOTICES BIG GUNS MUST BE MOBILE Otherwise In Future Wars They Will Be Quickly Wiped Out If "Spotted" From Above. While the war was in progress new military inventions and improvements were for obvious reasons kept secret in America. Now, however, they are beginning to leak out. For example, there is a new 14-inch gun, which is called "pride of the army." All big guns in future will be made mobile (on rails or drawn by gasoline tractors), because otherwise they would invite their own destruction. With the help of "spotting" airplanes they might be quickly wiped out The guns which now defend American seacoast forts are stationary, and the big ones of no larger caliber than 12 inches. They are to be replaced by 14-inch rifles on mobile mounts, and it is manifest the plans of the fortifications will have to be altered. Newest American battleships carry 14-inch guns, which have been deemed the most effective weapons of their type in the world. Some of them did duty on land in France toward the end of the war. But this new rifle (a product of army ordnance experts' best ingenuity) is superior in several respects. It will throw a shell W5 miles. Poor Packing Causes Waste. Few persons considering the cost €*f living realize that more than $70O,00Cr 000 is added ^o the cost of their food, clothing and other necessities each year because of the waste caused by damage, unscientific loading and the tremendous cost of packing these commodities. The railroads and the shippers realize it, as shown by their conducting a campaign to reduce to the minimum the waste through damage, and to utilize to the utmost the capacity of freight cars, which are hauled half empty. These are some of the items which enter into this waste estimate—damage and theft, $100,000,000; wasted lumber used only once in packing cases, $240,000,000; empty car space, $209,000,000; and the staggering cost to the railroads of hauling half empty cars more than 6,000,000,000 miles, $157,000,000. It is estimated that from 10 to 25 per cent of the cost of foodstuffs goes to pay for the crates which are thrown away. Big Railroader's Hobby. Carl R. Gray, the new president of the Union Pacific system, has one hobby—that is his family in which he takes the greatest interest and pride. "When his two boys, who are now at college, were attending preparatory school at Baltimore," says J. G. Donley, Jr., in Forbes' Magazine, "he never missed a baseball or football game in which the school team participated unless he was away from home. And he knew every boy on the teams by his first name. One of his greatest delights was to get out on the baseball field on a summer evening and 'bat flies' to his boys. When not on the road or in his office, he spends all of his time with his family." His Ambition. Ten-year-old Ted made his first long visit to the country. He was much impressed with the returns of farming, but not with the work which brought the returns. He studied the occupation of farming diligently in order to see what part of it was easiest. And one day he discovered what he thought was. ~'Then he went to his mother. "I always said that I would be a farmer when I grow up," he told her, "but I guess I won't be a real farmer. I guess I'll be a hog slopper." John Mays Little, Attorney-at-Law, Towson, Md. ORDER OP PUBLICATION JOHN MAYS LITTLE and MARIE C. LITTLE, His Wife, VS. EUGENE BITZER and ALICE BITZER, his wife.
