That's What a Second Lieu tenant in the United States Army Draws Down,
GENERAL FUNSTON
 MAKES STRONG TALK
Says that Very Existence of Army Depends on Raising Pay of Enlisted Men, Poor est Paid Men in Country,
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON, January 19.-"In San Francisco a bricklayer, plasterer or plumber receives more pay than an army captain of twenty years service stationed at any posts near that city, even considering the latters quarters and the communication of his grade. A bod carrier receives more pay than a second lieutenant"
 This statement was made by Briga- dier General Funston. commanding the department of California, in his annual report to the secretary of war. He made strong plea for an increased army pay, for those who have served a long time. Continuing he says:
 Wonder They Get Any
 "Of even greater importance than the question of officers pay is that of the enlisted men. The very existence of the army is threatened if wages in civil life continue to rise unless steps are taken to increase their pay The wonder is, that with the wretched pay offered, the army contains so many good men. But few re-enlist after the first term of service and many desert the first few months. The statement that the United States soldier is the most poorly paid man in the country today cannot be refuted. A 90 per cent increase in the pay of non-com- missioned officers and a like increase for privates after their first enlistment should work revolution. v

FOR FIRST SOUTH

proVement to Reach to
Thirteenth East.
PARK SYSTEM ADOPTED
HOPE TO MAKE STREET BETTER
THAN BRIGHAM.

Property owners along East First South
street. between Second East and Thir-
teenth East streets, have reached an
agreement to have the street paved with
Utah asphalt
Before he agreement was reached
many of the property owners on the low
er end of the street favored macadam,
which they said was softer and not so
noisy. but in view of the popularity of
asphalt it was decided that the street
should be paved with il.
East First South street is at present
paved with asphalt to Second East street.
The street is to be paved from Second
East to Fourth East to a width OF eighty
a width of sixty feet. The parking be
tween Second East and Fourth East will
be six feet wide on each side Of the road,
and from Fourth East to Thirteenth East
it will be sixteen feet wide on each side.
A meeting of property owners of the
street will be held some time this week.
The property owners will request the
poles and will ask the telephone comps-
MES to put their wires in coDduits. AT
present telephone wires are laid in con
Quits part of the way to Thirteenth East
street.
1t is the object OF the property owners
to beautify the street and make it more
attractive. If possible, than Brigham
street. They hold that the street is bet
ter located than Brigham. as there is
no slope to it from north to south, and
that therefore it can be kept in better
condition. II is their hope 20 make il
the best street in town. The improve
ment work will begin ct once and viii

One of the most artistic programs ever
presented before an audience in Salt Lake
was that given by Miss Jessie Anderson

sicale at which Mr. and Mrs James An

number was selected with the view to
the best results in voice and lnterpreta-
ton. and the various songs were grouped
in pleasing contrasts. Miss Anderson was
heard for the first time by a Salt Lake
audience. and her voice was a revelation
to her closest friends. Her first number
was the ever beautiful air from "MignOn. -
and her perfect enunciation and splendid
control of her voice were charming. A
group of German songs followed, and
later she sang an elegie by Massenet and
a group of ballads in English. In her
duet with Mr. Brines her voice was heard
to as fine advantage as in any single
number of the evening.
Mr. Brines in addition to his duet with
Miss Anderson, sang two groups of songs.
three German and later two Scotch and
one Irish song. each of which was re-
ceived with vociferous applause. Both
the singers were gracious enough to re-
spond to encores. and after the duet. "Oh.
That We Two Were Maying." so insistent
was the applause that they repeated the
song.
Miss Edna BaiIey's intelligent work as
accompanist added to the pleasure of the
evening.

Mr.. Williams. who stands at the head

can open a safe or vault without know

soon causes it to swing oDen. This

Trust company, and he states that no
better construction is to be found in
any of the large vaults of New York
