in which it was said that 1900 Eng
lish girls had been gathered together
by the Mormon agents for shipment
to Utah, to be servants of the Nor

For sixteen years, since l have
been a member of the Senate. l have
never paid any attention to the false
reports in newspapers about the
Mormon Church" said Senator Smoot.
but I feel that these stories, which
are being widely published, should be
denied
He read statistics from the Depart
ment of Labor immigration bureau
showing that immigration into Utah
during the last three years had been
less than into Colorado. and that the
immigration of women and children
had been smaller than in the case of
Colorado.
Senator Ashurst of Arizona. in a
brief address, praised the people of
Utah and the members of the Mormon
Church.

Some War Economies.

There is probably nothing thai
seems SO useless in the eyes Of the
average person as an Irish potato
which has begun to rot. but the de
partment of agriculture in It's wartime
experiments has discovered that starch
can be made from decaycd potato
Just as well. If not better, than from
a good one, and so the surplus stocis
of the farmer or dealer need no longer
Be thrown away or wasted,
In like fashion chemists seeking
methods to avoid worldwide food
shortages have found that sugar can
not only be made from beets, hui
from sweet potatoes as well. The
farmer himself can make good sirup
from his sweet potatoes by boiling
them until they can be mashed IN the
wafer to thick, mushy liquid. To this
ground malt IS added and the result
after properly cooking for about al
hour is a thick strip. which il strained
through cloth and used for any sort
of sWeetening.

over the telephone as they ride. The
instrument was installed as an expert
ment. but it has already proved its
worth.
Mrs. Ralph T. Young, the elevator
girl, is frequently called up on the
phone to see If Mr.. So-and-So has left
the building, and sometimes she is
able to catch him just as he is on the
point CT leaving the state house.
The other day message came for
man who was at that moment in
the elevator. He rode up and down
few times until he had completed
his business conversation.
One day tie elevator stopped be-
tween floors. The elevator girl sim
ply reached over to the phone, and in
a moment workmen came to the res
cue.
