GOVERNOR OF UTAH
 WOULD SAVE LIVES
Mabey Says "Charity Begins at Home' But Urges Cause
 of Near East Relief.

Governor Mabey of Utah has given hearty endorsement of the efforts of the Near East Relief to care for the more than one hundred thousand children and the vast army of refugees outside the relief society's orphanages in the Levant, who are entirely depend ent upon the humanity and generosity of his state and the rest of America for their existence. Similar endorse ments have previously been given by the majority of state executives and by President Harding.
 In a letter to Charles V. Vickrey, l51 Fifth avenue, New York, general national secretary of the Near East Relief, Governor Mabey writes:
 Tt is with full knowledge of the rather difficult times with which we are at present confronted that I sub scribe myself to the support of the

Near East Relief. Fully aware of the significance of the epigram, charity begins at home, cannot refrain from calling attention to the distress, hunger and disease which stalk the people of Armenia and other parts of Asia Minor"
 AS state director of the Near East Relief, Mrs. Elizabeth M. Cohen, one of the best known and most loved wo- men in Utah, is asking her state to care for 1250 orphans of Armenia for another year, and from her headquar- ters at room 1, 120 East First South, Salt Lake City, she is conducting de- termined statewide campaign with that objective in view.
 Utah's wheat growers are asked for . combined gift of 5000 bushels of their wheat, while other producers and the urban populations have been ap- pealed to for cooperation in the dona- tion and purchase of the balance to- ward $75,00O worth of Utah products needed to tide these children through.
 The L. D. s. church is again giving strong support to the Near East Re- lief movement.

A,rEn1cAN e1R1 ArH1ErEs.

Ever since international competition in athletics has fourished, men represent ing America have participated and of ten enough have won the highest hon DTS. Now for the first time in history we have a group of American girl ath- letes going forth to represent their country in a track and field competition abroad The contingent of fair runners and jumpers who will compete at the Pershing stadium in Paris on Aug. 20 will be followed by the best wishes of all their compatriots. Justly proud of American women in all their fields of activity. every American who deserves the name will ardently hope to see the eolors of Uncle Sam flash in ahead across the finish lines in the different events of the International track meet.
 This courageous group of girl ath- letes invites attention to the already patent fact that sport is no longer the exclusive field of man with women rele gated merely to a place in the specta tors seats. What has been developing here has been developing in other lands where women have shown great awak sning in accomplishments heretofore re garded as exclusively masculine. Ou girl athletes cannot expect a walkovel victory at Paris. They can win only b, guperior merit. European women wer, -aohilized for war for several years, anc mobilization for sport will be cores pondingIy easier for them.

REASONS FOR A SHIP SUBSIDY.

benefited by raising and selling the food to them and their families.
 [, The history of the past is the best guide for the future. No nation in the worlds history has been tduly with out owning and operating it's only nav al and merchant vessels. We all aim to make the United States the greatest nation upon which the sun has ever shown. This cannot be done less we encourage our merchant marine.
 8. We Americans have the money and the desire for foreign travel. Here tofore we have had to be humiliated by travelling everywhere abroad nndtst alien flags, and seldom, If ever, seeing our flag displayed on the ocean. Our ma tion pride need no longer be offended, as the passage of this bill will place and keep Old Glory on the seas. A citi- zen without national pride s undesir- able and unworthy, is a disgrace to him self and to his country
 g. Without this encouragement to our merchant marine, we will build nc more ships. We have, by internatsona agreements already stopped the building of fighting vessels. Hence, without any work to do, shipbuifding will become, ir America, lost art. Without ship builders and shipbuilding facilities thi: nation will be helpless both for eonnnerc. and for f-defense-an emascuiated gi l ant in the family of nations
 10. Our rivals for the worlds trad, view with great alarm the prospects o the passage of this bill, and their enis saries masquerading, in many instances as patriotic citizens are spreading insidi oas propaganda and doing their utmos to defeat the measure. This is tn strongest evidence possible why the bil will benefit America, and why 1t shoul leans.

WASTE BY rnREsr FIRES.

Connecticut saw an unusual number of bad forest fires this last spring, ac- cording to information given out by the tate forester, which serves as timely warning of the states loss in lumber and timber and raises the question of what preventive measures may be taken to check this waste. It will be a sur prise to many to learn that 79,0oO acres were burned over, that a conservative estimate would place the damage at $500. 900. The 1902 fires occurring in wooded tracts burned nearly per cent. of all the woodland in the state.
 10 many the far reaching effects of forest fires Is little appreciated and 1t Is apparent there Is general indifference felt by the public in the question. But Connecticut cannot afford to have such wastage and loss continue. If the people could be aroused to the menace that forest fires present in the loss of our wood supply, they would adopt meas ares for effective fire fighting and for rsforeatation to repair the damage WAidh vse have already suffered. Some Lhtng of this may be achieved in the sorsst: fra conference to be held at Hart lord next week.

What he calls ten good reasons for a ship subsidy to make possible an Amer ican merchant marine are suggested by c. A. MacAllister, vice president of the American Bureau of Shipping, as fol- lows:
 1. World conditions now make sale of goods in competitive foreign markets more difficult than ever. The American farmer, miner, merchant and mechanic cannot compete in selling their excess products abroad unless we have our own delivery system, owned and operated by Americans.
 for the national defense as the navy it. self Without this government .hela we will have no merchant marine, hence our means for defense would be crfp- pied one-haff The cost of the entire subsidy will be less each year than the cost of building one modern battleshfp. 8. We have by sale of Liberty bonds during the war raised and invested ever three billions of dollars in merchant ships Without this subsidy these vessels can not be operated at profit to private owners Hence they cannot be sold and we face the loss of nearly the entire l amount invested. By making ship op' eratfons profitable In private ownership S0VSg 900 900, an amount far in excess o1 the ten years total subsidy. The tax payer will thereby eventually have hi: l taxes reduced instead of increased. A. The operation of ships under thu present government management ha vastly increased our foreign trade. I | is, however, costing the taxpayer directl! 1 over $50, ,oOe,ooo per year to make u the losses of government operation. Tll
 amount will De save almost in toto, il placing these ships in private hands b. means of the subsidy.
 s. Heretofore we have been payini
 an average of s3oo,ooo,o0o annually fo
 freight and insurance, to foreigners fo
 carrying our goods. This vast amour can mostly be kept in our own border through the means of the subsidy act. | | other words, considering shipping alone
 an investment of $1 by the governmen will keep S1o at home.
 6. The creation of permanent an 1 efficient merchant marine by means c
 the subsidy act will furnish employ ment to over 100,o American on boar

 and operate ships for the foreign trad Every man thus employed must be we fed, and the American farmer will

NEwSPAprR y1TERAcY TEST.

Since the result of literacy tests of men drafted for the army during the war was made public, there has been a tendency to doubt the census bureaus literacy figures, the theory being that since the census figures were obtained by asking the citizen whether he could read and write, and the army figures were obtained by obliging the citizen to show that he could read and write, more dependence can be placed upon the army figures. Another test, which in some ways is more conclusive Is the newspa- per reader test, which Is based upon the assumption that the citizen not only can read, but also does regularly read a newspaper, which brings to him news of the important events affecting his daily life. -
 The Editor and Publisher has compiled a revised newspaper circulation table for 1922 which shows, among other things, that the number of newspaper readers in the United States is steadily grow ing, the increase between September 30 1920, and March 31, 1922, being l, ,40S. cos The total net paid circulation of all ot 1 the newspapers in the United States ts l 29,19S665, or one to every 3.5 persons. a circulation average which in comparison with most foreign countries and some parts of the United States, Is amazingly high, and correspondingly hsttering tc l the interest of the American public 1T current events. In some, of the south | ern states the newspaper circulation falls to one newspaper to every four teen inhabitants, figure which bear 1 out both the census and the army liter acy. figures.
 New York and Ohio print one news paper to every two persons, while Ar
 kansas and Arizona print one to. ever!
 twelve persons. and Georgia, with 2,ss5, 1 ss2 inhabitants. has newspaper circu lation of only s11,53s. Facilities for dis
 trfbution affect the figures to some ex tent, especially around the larger cities
 but as rule citizens alert to the tren'
 of affairs in the world will contrive som
 way to read a daily newspaper. henc
 the figures are probably an accurate re
 nection of the country's interest in it

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Pleads For West Virginia Miners.

Mir. Editor: Everybody is interested in coal, whether for our stoves, or for our factories, or for our transportation, but everybody realizes that the coal strike if won by the miners will mean a just settlement as to wages for this group of citizens. who are doing the most dangerous. the most isolated, and yet the most necessary work for us. When I speak of just settlement of wag es I mean that the miners should be assured a wage, on a yearly basis, suf- fcient to support their families aecord- ilg to a decent American standard.
 I spent some days in June in Favet.e ana Raleigh counties of Wess Eirgsr'a and went from camp co camp an1 found the ejected miners and thelr families iiv. ing In tents or in sn es bail+ of tar paper, fed by the scan; rat:oaA C: corn meal, flour, bacon and beans, sent by our committee and by others They are a gallant set of people, mostly of old American or British stock, striking for their conviction that their union must be recognized and that their wages must be standardized.' Last year large pro portion of them were only given 80 days work, which meant only $500, or which to support a family (the average | is from three to four children), for a whole year. Which of us could do this we are forced to wonder.

WHY. Nor. LooK uP9

There was a picture bearing the title, Why Look to Earth?' It showed a narrow path leading through a mountain. On each side rose huge cliffs towering far above, weary mortal slowly passing along and bending beneath & load great CT than his strength. The path he had passed over may have been bright and pleasant, but now it was lost to view. and the path before also was hidden in the depths of the great rocks. Ouiy the bitter present was visible to him, and he bent beneath his load as though it were greater than he. could bear" With eyes fixed to the ground he wended his way in deep distress, while high above him was glimpse of the beautiful sky, and lowering oyer him were numerous angels waiting to minister to hin: If he would look up.

lumber supply in the American Forestry

lumber supply in the American Forestry Magazine Prof. A B. Reeknagel points out that most of the remaining lumber is in the west although the bulk of the people five iii tts east. Hence they must pay heavy freight charges on every thou sand feet of lumber shipped across the continent. Prof. Recknagei gays. This freight charge Is today in excess of what it costs to manufacture lumber on the Paciic coast and offers substan- tial margin of profit for home grown timber of equal quality. We have the forest land. we can keep 1t producing trees, we can replant such areas as are denuded If we do not delay in adopting proper forest policy, we, can assure by the practice of forestry the future of the American lumber supply. There is no other way
 This is a lesson for Connecticut if our citizens of 50 years hence are to have lumber at a price which they can afford to pay. ---.-
