TO PROBE QUALITY OF
UTAH ROCK ASPHALT
Manufacturers Association Determines
to Prove Superiority Of Local
Paving Material

Owing to the fact that there has
beep considerable contention lately II
regard to whether Utah natural rock
asphalt is as good as the artificial paw
ing material, the Manufacturers asso
ciation of Utah has resolved to make
a careful investigation for the purpose
of proving the truth of the statements
that natural asphalt is superior.
The association has been consistent
booster for the Utah product for many
wears, but the members feel that SO
much criticism of the rock asphalt has
recently been heard among the various
contractors that It is time to take
hand in the contention.
In speaking OF the matter ID. f. Col
lett, secretary OF the association, said
yesterday:
We believe that Utah asphalt is
the better material for paving and
we intend to prove this and end all
argument. In doing this we will
, not submit TO comparisons between
the worst rock asphalt and the best
artificial product. There is poor
rock asphalt, just as there is poor
coal, but most Of both are surface
rock. 1t is a fact that pavement
laid ten years ago with natural as
phalt is in much better condition
than that laid with the made as
phalt, and if good paving could be
secured ten years ago it can be laid

DESIGNING A NON-SINKABLE SHIP.
The problem of building q modern
passenger liner that would not lose it's
huoyancy and sink under any of the
known mishaps at sea has been
solved in theory by George w. Dickie
vice president of the American Society
of Naval Architects and Marine En-
Sineers.
Mr.. Dickie takes a typical large pas
senger steamer of the following dimen-
sions: length between perpendiculars.
500 feet; beam, nodded, 90 feet;
draught, loaded, 80 feet; horsepower
would be $4,000 and the load displace-
ment 1880 tons.
This ship would have a complete
double bottom, the inner she'll being
four feet from the outer skin, extend
ing from the fore peak to the after
deck which would be Is feet above the
base line. Extending from the inner
bottom the upper deck would be u
separate and distinct Water-tight
bulkheads, without doors or openings
whatever. The double bottom space
would be divided in the same way
There would be four main boiler COM
partmentS, each boiler room being
able to work the ship regardless of
what happened to the others.
1t is claimed that such a shin could
not be sunk by an injury to the bot
tom. and that the most severe pene-
tratiOn by collision between the lower
and upper decks could not possibly
open all of the compartments to the
inrushing sea.

THE Great Salt Lake is the Ameri-
can edition of the Dead Sea. Like
everything American, it IS an en-
largement and improvement upon the
original, having several times its area
and being far better equipped for the
tourist trade
The Great Salt Lake is so miles long
and 20 to 80 miles wide. 1t is also deep
enough to drown the tallest man. How
ever, the onlv way in which even short
man could drown in this lake, would
be to tie q rope to the bottom and climb
down. This is because Of specific gray
itv which the lake contains to excess.
So STRONGLY is the water impregnated
with specific gravity, in fact, that hui
man beings float in it without effort,
their heads and toes above the surface.
Floating in the Great Salt Lake is as
easy as floating IN New York society
with only title for support. However,
the flOateT must be careful not to swal-
low any of the water in an unguarded
moment. It is seven times more dis
agreeable than the most popular and
beneficial mineral water, and even If it
were to be distributed free, on election
dav in a Bowerv precinct, no one would
willingly drink it.
This is because of its salt. We now
approach the secret of this lakes name.
1t is from five to seven times as salt
as the ocean, depending UPON the in
dustTV OF the sun IN eYapOratlng 1t from

not even codfish-and vegetation for
miles about it is extremely passe and
detected Very little use has been found
for the lake thus far, though thousands
of gallOns of it are sold in small bottles
to tourists during the season. Even a
bath in it is a delusion and snare. as
the bather has to wash off with a hose
afterward. However, the lake does stand
between Utah and the salt trust in no
bic and efficient manner, and it fur
nishes Salt Lake City with one of the
