Salt Lake City, Utah,
Jan. 20. 1918.

Mormon city of Utah, taking
in some of it's many sights of
interest, among which was a
personally conducted trip
through the Mormon Assembly,
the Mormon Tabernacle, and
the grounds surrounding the
great Mormon Temple. The
Temple cost five million dollars
and was forty years in building.

All through Colorado and this

claim this the coldest winter for
many years.
Monday, 9th, we came over

point reached by the Denver d

Rockies "a hight little more
tnan two miles above sea level.
The snow there was two feet
deep or more On our trip. we
found many places without any
snow, other places with little

ing.
Sunday morning our party
with about thirty others attend

prison guards. TO say the least,
we felt much more at ease again
when the iron doors swung open
and we were outside those great

FEDERAL
Retention of Timber Lands is
Urged by Commissioners
of Corporations.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2o-The con-
centration into the hands of a few
powerful interests of an enormous
percentage of the timber lands Of
the United States has created prob
lem so grave for the nation in the
Judgment of Luther conant. Jr., com
missioner Of corporations, that he
has recommended to President Taft
that the existing national forests not
only be retained by the federal gov
ernment, but increased as far as
practicable.
This note of warning was sounded
by the commissioner in forwarding
to the president the full text Of Part
] Of the Bureau of Corporations in
yestigation of the lumber industry
made by direction of Congress. "A
summary of this report, showing the
extent OF concentrated control of
timber lands, was sent to the presl-,
dent and published nearly two years
ago.

the complete registration of all
births. The pamphlet points out
that not a single state in the union
has a thoroughly effective registra-
ton system, and that in 1910 the
New Englss1 states, Michigan and
Pennsylvania were the only states
where laws were sufficietly good and
sufficiently well enforced to register
nine births out OF ten. and nine out
often Is poor registration.
The Children's Bureau finds that
this absence of good laws, well en-
forced, is. hampering the work for
the. study and prevention of infant
mortality. This county, according
to the best estimates available, IS
now losing 100000 babies a year,
and experience has demonstrated
that at least half of these lives
could be saved If the simple methods
already known TO science could BIO
brought to bear. But to apply
these methods two things are neces-
sary, good vital statistics and an inn
mediate report OF every birth.
Good vital statistics are needed to
enable those working for public
health to detect bad conditions and
select the proper social remedy for
them. Immediate notification is
necessary so that the individual baby
born under adverse conditions may
be saat the assistance which can be
SO readily given by health author
tiles, visiting nurses, and other so-
cial agencies. Sir Arthur New
sholme, the great English authority,
has said that no one expedisnt has
done more to reduce infant mortal
ity in England than their law re-
quiring immediate notification.
Good vital statistics and immediate
notification ca nbe secured only
through birth registration.

Three hundred and thirty-eight
schools in 101 cities of the United
States were used as social ce1ters
during the last season, according TO
a report compiled by Clarence Ar
thur Perry fer the Sage Foundation.
oficials OF the United States Bureau
OF Education, who have examined
the report, declare that it IS bound
to stimulate interest in this rapidly
developing phase OF the movement
for wider use Of the school plant
Mr.. Perry finds that in forty-four
OF the 1O1 cities social centers were
directed by paid workers. New
York had forty-eight such centers
and Chicago sixteen, while Ph,ladel-
phia, Boston, Columbus, Detroit.
Jersey City, Louisville, Rochester
aad Trenton are among the cities
included in this list. There is wide
variation in the length of the season,
from five or six weeks in some To-
calities to the full term in others.
In fact, little uniformity prevails as
to what constitutes social center.
Mr.. Perry presents in the report a
tentative definition of a social cen
ter as follows: "a community may
be said to have a schoolhouse social
center If one Of its school buildings
is thrown open to the public on one
or more fixed nights week for at
least twelve weeks year. regularly
directed by one or more trained
leaders"
The report also presents data on
the growing use of school buildings
for political meetings. In Cleveland,
o., meetings We're held IN the schools
to discuss the new constitutional
provisions that were before the peo-
pie for adoption, In Jersey City the
public schools were opened to parti-
san political meetings with crafty
ing results; eight public school au-
ditoriums in New York City were
also opened for the same purpose,
and in Chicago the assembly halls
were employed for political rallies
and proved a distinctly popular In
novation. Milwaukee, Wis. and
Worcester Mass, are cities where
the schools have for some time been
used for political meetng places.
The use of schools as polling
places is another recent develop
ment. Thirty schools in Los An
geles were used for this purpose in
1911. In the last year Milwaukee
began using the easements of school
buildings as pollingSplaces. In New
York. the Commissioner CT accounts
recommended that the school build
ings be used for registration booths
throughout the city, declaring that
the plan would mean the saving of a
cons derable part of the hundred
thousand dollars expended for rental
every year. Definite adoption of
the idea of schools as polling places
is reported from Boston, Mass;
Berkeley and Long Beach. Call;
