NAAAAN AANAN W
With the aid of the newspapers,
the women of Salt Lake City, Utah,
have brought about an entire re-
verSal of methods " handling
foodstuffs in their city. The wo-
men began with a series of short
articles which appeared in the
papers on variousp bases of food
protection. These articles a
through a period of six weeks and
provided the necessary educational
campaign which must generally
precede women's reforms in COM
munities.
Having thus awakened the pub
lie conscience, they next sent out
400 letters to retail grOcers of the
city, calling attention to the city's
food ordinance. A postcard was
inclosed in each letter and the gro
GERS were asked to use these cards
in pledging themselves to comply
with the ordinance and its pro
visions. The hint was dropped
that the club women throughout
Salt Lake City we're being request
ed not to patronize those dealers
in foods who failed to comply.
Each day the newspapers pub
lished an installment If these cards
as they were returned TO the club
women.
As a result most of the grocers
Of Salt Lake awakened from their
lethargy. They speedily cleaned
house, screened their fruit and
placed their meat under glass.
They began to use for their early
morning deliveries porcelain-lined
locked boxes, high from the
ground, instead of the doorstep, or
wire baskets on the sidewalk. The
bakers also fell in line. Butchers
and milkmen also read the writing
on the wall and complied with the
terms of the pure food laws and
regulations.
The next step was TO get an in
spector. This official was secur-
ed and the club women paid his
salary. One Of his duties was to
score the different stores and mar
kets on different points of clean.
illness.
The food dealers of the city were
placed on a definite standing. The
condition of the various stores and
markets was plainly set down foI
reference. Score cards, giving the
rating of each store, are now tack.
ed upon the walls of groceries
meat markets, bakers and dairies
in conspicuous places.
Every merchant has a rating
and the housewives of Salt LAX,
City, due entirely to their own ag
gressiveness and action, are fami
liar with it. There are complaint
all over the country, that food or
dinances and pure food laws ar,
not obeyed. Instead of makini
this complaint, the women of Sal
Lake City determined to obtain en-
forcement, and they have secured
il.
The problem of food sanitation
is n of the closest to the hearts
of the housewives. 1t takes pre-
cedence even over the question o
prices. More and more the womel
of various communities are de
handing the proper handling o
fOodstuffs by butchers, grocers
bakers and milkmen, and the tasl
is their own more than any othe
individuals, for pure food is a car
dinal principle of good housekeep
ing and domestic welfare.

MIRRORS AT CURVES
AVOID COLLISIONS
HAIRPIN TURNS ON MOUNTAIN
ROAD SHORN OF THEIR DAN
GER BY REFLECTORS

Mirrors, three feet wide by five
feet long, have been placed at the out
er edge of two of the sharpest curves
in mountain boulevard near Denver,
Colorado.
On mountain roads collision is one
of the great dangers on account of
the many turns necessary in laying
out a highway on the Denver noun
tain boulevard AS car approaches
the curve in either direction, the mir
rors, which have been placed at the
height required, reflect the other side
of the curve so that the driver is
warned if there is an auto just around
the turn. and the needful precautions
can be taken.
The boulevard equipped with the
mirrors is part Of Denver's munich
pal park system, being much used by
motorists, and the mirrors have
proved of such convenience that it has
been proposed to extend their use to
other places where there are sharp
turns. The first mirrors were donat-
ed, and the Denver Motor club has
started a movement to induce others
interested in increasing the pleasure
and safety of motoring in Denver s
mountain parks to make similar gifts.

SIX YEAR OLD BOY
IS ACCLAIMED HERO
FRANK RUDOLPH GETS MEDAL
FOR SAVING LIFE OF HIS
OLDER SISTER

Great Falls. The youngest holder
of hero medal in the United States,
so far as the records show, is Frank
Alvin Rudolph, not vet six years old,
who, nearly two years ago, when he
was barely four. rescued from drown
ing, his sister Olive Lane, two years
older than himself. The award was
made unsolicited and after prolonged
investigation by the Ralston Purina
Hero commission Of st. Louis. which
had learned of the rescue through
press dispatches.
The medal was presented a few
days ago at parentteacher associa-
ton meeting by S. ID. Largent, sup
erintendent of schools. and was wit
messed by large gathering of par
ents and school children.
The young hero is the son of the
proprietor of a big ice company. The
children s home is on the river close
by the factory.
"'The two children. hand in hand,'
said Superintendent Largent in max
ing the presentation. ''started to
cross the river to their father, who
was directing force of men in cut
ting ice. Snow had fallen the night
before, making it difficult to tell
where harvesting had recently been
carried on.
"Oblivious Of their danger brother
and sister ran over the snow until
they reached thin coating Of ice
newly frozen over the swift current.
Their father shouted warning and
a dozen others took up the cry. The
noise made by other Ice narvesters
drowned the cries and the children,
swinging arms and laughing, ran yet
faster across the veneer Of ice.
"Without warning the ice gave
way and little Olive sank into the
stream still clasping the hand of her
brother. Her father and sixty men
saw her Disappear, but forty feet of
thin ice too weak to support any of
them prevented them from going to
her rescue. Little Frank, however,

and as soon as he could strengthen his
hold, he tugged and pulled until Olive
was able to get firm grip herself

WHEAT SHIPMENTS
BREAK ALL RECORDS
GREAT NORTHERN OFFICIAL
SAYS PROSPERITY IS
UNPRECEDENTED

Five million more bushels of small
grain will be shipped on the Great
Northern lines out Of Montana this
fall than last year, according to j. 7.
McGaughey, the assistant general
freight and passenger agent of that
road. Mr.. McGaughey estimates
that in all 25,OOO,OOO bushels of small
grain will be shipped within the next
couple of months. The movement of
the grain has just begun.
"The increase in the grain ship
ments is due to the increased acreage
and the enormous yield, said Mr.. Nc
Gaughey. "Fifty bushels Of wheat to
the acre is quite a common yield this
year and the average price is $3.50
Il bushel.
"The prosperity is remarkable. The
little town of Joplin on the highlands,
situated in the country which was be-
lieved to be reproductive and among
the poorest along our line, has one
bank with Il capital stock of $4,000.
A week ago today was in that town
and saw SD, 200 deposited by the
farmers. During the present season
total of $2S5,oO0 has been deposited
and the bank officers believe that the
half million mark will be reached very
soon.

young fellow who started farming
two years ago without a dollar and
who sold 500 Obushels of wheat this
year for %l2,OOO.'

ADOPT UNIVERSAL
MOTOR LANGUAGE

New York. line with the
practice of men occupied with
the exact sciences, automobile
engineers have adopted a uni
versal motor language. This is
expected to eliminate many de-
lays common in the replacement
of parts and to tend to clear
ness and brevity generally. The
automobile parts have been Gi-
vided into nineteen divisions, in
Guiding cylinders, bodies and ac-
cessories. These divisions are
subdivided into nearly 70 speci-
fic groups. Yet more minute di-
vision brings the number Of parts
named to between 900 and 700.
