Indications Point to Early Ac-
tivity by Griffin Car Wheel
Concern.
MAMMOTH PLANT WILL
LIKELY BE ERECTED
Firm Owns Magnificent Fifteen
Acre Site in North
Salt Lake.

From all indications it will not be
long before the Griffin Car Wheel com
pany of Chicago will begin active work
in the building of mammoth car wheel
and foundry plant on flfteen-acre site
owned by the company near Sixth west
and Sixth North streets,

ing from the company as to the cost
of the plant TO he erected IN TINS city.
it is said by those who are conVcT MT
cities that the plant will cost upwards
Of S500.000 and may reach the million
dollar mark
More than six months ago there was
considerable talk about the then pro,
posed nlant. The delay on the part OF
the Griffin company is said TO have been
caused by the legislative turmoil over
all appearances, the company is ready
to go ahead with the work
General Manager Visits City.
Several months ago General Manager
Pierce of the Griffin company was. IN
the city from Chicago and at that time
went over the proposition. Since that
time two other representatives OF the
firm have been In Salt Lake, one quite
recently.
From the investigation made IL was
apparent that there would hardly be
enough business for car wheel plant
alone The various foundry concerns
in the city were examined: and aIter
this examination. it is said. the Grit
I'm people came to the conclusion that
there would be room in Salt Lake City
for a plant for the manufacture or
structural steel, as well as of car wheels
Before the arrival of the representa-
IL -J,a., - flN lIst
time, the mammoth plant OF the Griffin
concern at Denver burned down, en-.
failing a loss of about S5G0,000 Inas'
much as the representative came here
shortly after the FIRE il is presumed
that it was with view of making a
final report on the feasibility OF imme'
diate action on the part of She concern.
Several prominent persons are of the
opinion that the Chicago firm intends
to pull m its stakes in Denver and re-
move tc Salt Lake City. This is borne
out by the fact that no preparations
have been made as yet toward rebuild
ing the Denver plant 1t Is said thai
Salt Lake City will be made the loca
ton for the factory of the company
for the intermountain country.
The members Of the firm have agreed
with the Salt Lake boosters that this
city is the logical manufacturing, com
merci2l and distributing center for the
entire intermountain region.
Company Owns Fine Site,
The company owns one of the hnest
sites in the city for manufacturing
nlant. The entire block bounded by
Fifth North and Sixth North streets
and by Fifth West and Sixth West
streets has been acquired by the com
pany. as has also half a block adjoining

SCOTCH STUDENTS CARE
LITTLE FOR HISTORY
Show Little Interest in Affairs
of Men

Although singular. it is true that
history has not until recent years been
popular subject in the Scottish uni
versities. In former days the chairs of
history afforded "otium sine dignitate."
In 1747 one of the chairs of humanity
at st. Andrews, Anderson tells us, was
converted into chair of history, but
professor after professor failed to form
class One professor falling to find
students in history, taught modern Ian
guages, and then he took refuge in nat
ural philosophy. says the London Globe.
Another professor said his chair was
sinecure for 40 years. A change was
made to natural history, but the stu
dents cared as little for beasts as they
had for the affairs of men, so the first
professor of natural history sat tight
in his chair. drew the emo1uments, and
taught nothing for quarter of a cen
tury. 1t was the same at the other
universities. although man of the dis

"DOLL" TYPE OF WOMAN
LOSES IT'S POPULARITY
Business Training Makes Mod
ern Girls Keep Pace With Men

The old days of feminine incompe-
stence have given place. says the
Gentlewoman, to more stirring and
strenuous times. and women have had
to keep pace with them. Some schools
have been quick to recognize this, and
many of them make instruction in
sound business knowledge part of their
curriculum. Thus. from the very first,
the modern girl is trained to be meth
odical logical and wideawake. In the
early years this enables her to spend
her pocket money with advantage.
When she marries later on she looks
we'll into the ways of her household -
all because of this background of bust

tive that women should be useful as

GERMANY'S NATIONAL
WEALTH INCREASING
Estimated to Have Gained SO
Per Cent in Half Generation

Early in 1909 the national wealth of
Germany, which had been estimated at
S52 1850. 100000 Is years ago, was esti-
mated to have reached $83, ,300, 90, 600,
l. e., an increase of SO per cent In half
a generation. This estimate (like all
such estimates, greatly the result of
speculation) has been questioned; 1t
was, however. defended by it's author in
a pamphlet quoted by Sir Francis Op-
penheimer, the British consul general
in which the total is made up of the
following items. which the author be-
lieves to be underestimated rather than
overestimated:
