COUPLE IS LOST IN MOUNTAINS! SOCIETY AGOG

Members of high society in New York were shocked the other day when Phyllis Ashbrook, a hostess, and John Manning were lost while climbing mountain in the Adiron- dacks. The couple were driven by a severe storm to seek shelter in an old cabin where they spent the night.
 When found the next day. the young people announced their will lingness to wed, in order that the re putation of the girl involved might not suffer The marriage followed, despite the fact that Miss Ashbrook was engaged to Roger Mason, law yer, and John Mann was the f. ance of Anita Webb, T society beau ty The affair has occasfoned much gossip in high social circles.
 This is one of the principal incl dents of "The Make-Believe Wife," starring Billie Burke, which will be shown at the Coliseum theatre to- night and Friday. The photocomedy is an adaptation of a story by Ed ward Childs Carpenter, directed sby John Stuart Robertson, and it is said to be one of the finest starring ve- hicles in which Miss Burke ever has been seen.
 What follows after the marriage of this oddly united people forms a picture story of exceptional interest. The humor of the situation is said to be most mirth- provoking. Miss Burke is supported by a large cast of screen players, all of them of fine ability. David Powell is the leading man, while others in the support in clude Isabel O'Madigan, Wray Page, Alfred Hickman, Ida Darling, Fran ces Kaye, Bigelow Cooper, Howard Johnson and F. catenbery Bell

QUESTIONABLE INSURANCE

The insurance phase of Chairman
Hurley's merchant marine plan does
not impress marine underwriters as
having been worked out by anyone
familiar with actual earnings Of COM
panies engaged in underwriting hull
insurance.
One underwater says while the
idea Of having the buyer of ships in
sure his equity in them is sound
enough, Mr. Hurley is not specific.
This underwater does not agree that
the government can carry the insur-
ance at 1 per cent less than market
rate and accumulate a reserve to
build up fund for developing trade
routes, etc. The government would
not have to pay taxes and expense in
conducting hull insurance is probably
less than any other class of marine
risk, but there would be losses as
business statistics show. Nothing has
been made in hull insurance at the
market rate in the last several years.
Ship operators of reputation say
practical men in ship building and op-
Grafton, should be selected to shape
the policy of the future. The bust
ness needs no charity welfare experts
but it does ueed some one who will
work out a policy that will have for
it's fundamental basis the law Of sup
uly and demand. There must be COM
petition among the companies if we
are to have merchant marine ir
more than name only.

METAL MINING SITUATION

The u. S. Bureau of Mines has just
issued general statement as to the
present status of various mineral in
dustries.
The conclusions to be drawn from
the report are that the mining indus
try as whole has passed its darkest
hours in that prices have undoubtedly
touched bed rock and world conditions
are fairly well determined so that
the mine operators know pretty def
nitely what they must contend with.
Little hope is held out for any inn
mediate business from Europe altho
metal stocks in Germany are ex-
hausted. 1t is felt that some time will
elapse, however, before the American
mines will be able to count on any
regular foreign trade.
In the meantime as building act
ivity resumes in this country with the
coming of spring it will help relieve
the stagnation of the metal market.
Increased labor efficiency is nee
essary to help offset the present cost
Of operation which in most cases is
above the selling price of metals and
the larger mines are operating SIM
ply to maintain their organizations
and are ready for the wave Of bust
ness which must surely come.

About Rheumatism

People are learning that it is only
a waste of time and money to take
medicine internally for chronic and
muscular rheumatism, and about
ninety-nine out of hundred cases
are one or the other of these varieties.

relief is to apply Chamberlain's Lini-
ment freely. Try it. 1t costs but 35
cents per bottle. Large size 60 cents.

Notice the generous showing of local advertis-
ing in this issue of The Record-particularly the

strong appeal to the patriotic sentiment of every
loyal Utahn. More factories and increased pay

best way to obtain them is by the loyal and liberal

porous and happy others will come as natural

ONE good way for the people of southern
Utah to advertise the merits of our wonderful
scenery is for as many of us as possible to go and
see it ourselves. There are lot of people in this
region who have not so much as visited Zion Can
yon, reached by good automobile road and reg
ular conveyances for those who haven't their own
cars; with the finest entertainment and camping
service to be obtained anywhere. Everybody in
the southern part of the state should feel suffc-
iently interested in our beautiful and impressive
scenery to spend at least day or two amid the
marvels of this monument, to view which. people
come across the continent.

AND still the prospects for getting the peace
treaty ratified by all the governments concerned
seems to be long way off. We are not even sure
that the Peace Congress draft will be ratified by
our own country, for there seems to be great
deal of hostility against it on the part of Senate
members, who have the power to accept or reject
it. 1t may be that the majority of the Senators
may not feel as phianthropic and self-sacrificing
as our magnanimous President Germany and
Austria are rebeng with all the force they can
command; Italy, Japan and China are also dissatis-
fed. This appears to be question in which it is
impossible to please everybody, but one in which
it appears to be hard to please anybody.

TOO bad that the Architect or Artist who de-
vised the human anatomy did not have the ad-
vantage of present-day wisdom and make our
bodies without perform appendicises tonss and
few other redundant parts that we now find it
necessary to have removed Think of the expense
and suffering we would have been saved! There
seems to be only one conclusion left to us and that
is that the designer of our bodies is now back
number and his models is now out of date But
now getting serious, since none of us are willing
to admit that the Creator made any mistakes in
fashionng the human body-the most perfect
piece of mechanism ever seen--or that there are
really any redundant parts, would it not be more
in the interest of the human family if the medi-
cal profession as whole would devote itself more
to the discovery and correction of our errors in
living than to acquiring deXterity in the art Of
severng such parts run counter to our incor-
rect methods and customs of living?

He believed that 1t was proper to
put contingencies in under coal cost.
DR.. Garfield has urged an allowance
of there per cent as q ontingency, but
1t VISA not written into the bill as he
had suggested. In the course OF his.
remarks Mr.. Reed said that attaches
of the Treasury department were
about the most human of any depart
mnet in Washing Their interpre-
tations have been liberal to the indus
try, but he made 1t plain that they
were out to get every last cent that
was due the government. He believ-
led that the Treasury department
should have the power to literally In

The authorities have declared that
the coal industry has been the only
business activity that has been In
clined to; assist the government in
submitting information for their,
guidance in this regard. The author
tiles have been very grateful for this
assistance and have SO expressed
themselves.
at some length he told Of the diff
ference between wasting industries
such as oil, coal. metal mining and

clearly that the coal industry could
not be rightfully classed with a
straight manufacturing interest be-
cause Of waste. He pointed out the
small percentage OF salvage there is

asset but rather an easement. The
hoel in the ground is about the way
he expressed q depleted mine. which
entailed much expense to develop, but
little salvage remains after the coal is
all gone. Salvage in some instances

a case whore mine rails were removed
from an old mine and when the oper-
ator paid the cost Of removing the
old rails he found that 1t was but "a
trife cheaper than 1t would have been

had run up the exrense Of removal.
AT some length he discussed the
idea OF depreciation. In reckoning
this he said that he had been a con-

operators are familiar with as a re-
suit of securing accurate data from
