ZION NATIONAL PARK

Zion National Park is In the extreme
southwestern part Of Utah. Zion Can
yon, Its dominating feature. bisects
the park from north t. south. This
canyon Is fifteen miles long, varies In
width from so to $500 feet and its
walls range from 800 to 1000 feet high.
Crooked as a snakes trail. topped with
many splendid and enormous domes
and peaks and aglow with color, this
canyon Is one of the striking scenic
s~pectacles of Western America.
Zion is Oft referred to as the Rain.

being a mixture Of grays and reds and
browns and yellows which shift into en-.
tirely new and unexpected comblna-
tons Of varying degrees Of intensity as

This region was first known to white
man when pioneered by Mormons who
were taking stock Of their holdings In
1858. The MormOns colonized here and
Brigham Young, their leader and
prophet, termed the place Little Zion
"a sacred place for his people where
they might find protection II need be
from the Indians who never entered
Its sacred precincts" The Indians
called Zion Canyon Mu-kun-tu-weap
(yalleyo of Many waters) Zion was little
known, however, because OF Its mac.
feasibility, until Uncle Sam preserved
II for the enjoyment OF his people In
1919 by ~proclaiming IT a national park.

WALKING SAVED
BY WASHING
MACHINE
Mrs. Tibbs Credits Twenty
four Miles a Week to Her
Electric Laundry Device.

On january 1. 1920. having de-
clded that she had spent too many
years walking between the washtub
and the ironing board and all around
those objects three days in the
week. Mrs. Tibbs wrote a check on
herself and bought an electric wash
ing machine and small ironer. This
represented a burden of endurance
transferred from the shoulders OF
Mrs. Tibbs to the apparatus.
She used the washing machine for
about three hours a day. and the
ironing machine for about five
hours. The first week she saved
herself about fifteen miles for this
reason: Before she bought the ma
chimes she walked between the
washtub and the ironing board from
s o'clock in the morning until 8
O'Clock at night, Monday. Tuesday
and Wednesday of every week, her
steps, measuring, at the rate Of a
mile an hour, twenty-four miles q
week. The distance saved with the
acquisition OF the electric machinery
was the difference between the
walking that she did in operating 1t
ana that which she had done.
As Mrs. Tibbs could sit down
while she did her ironing by the
new method. there was not so much
walking; and the saving Of fifteen
miles week is a great relief when
one thinks of aching feet. Up to
date she has got nearly 1000 miles
Of such relief out OF the machines
and they are still going strong.

DRESSED DOLLS

Every girls loves to dress doll
and this year the passion may he

are the fad. of the hour. They make
telephone covers, dressed in skirts
that suggest our greatgrandmoth

Prettiest of all are the dollies
which surmount frames over which
are stitched quaint and fascinating
lamp shades. Little night lights
covered with a graceful lady whose
skirts spread in tiers Of ribbon and
lace into a dainty shade are both
useful and ornamental.
Usually the dresses for these
dolls are made in exaggerated pc

being of porcelain, with couture
and expression OF varying types,

Hats are built to suit the cos

may be made to place here and

may add many soft, glowing spots
of color to a room. The lamps are
of very low wattage, hence consume
but a trifling amount of current.

FURUSE TIL HITS
SHIP OWNERS
POLICY
Says Pacific Coast Strike
Comes From Hiring Reds
and Wobblers.
By ELLIS HI. MARTIN.
International News Service.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. April %.
1.-THE I. W. w. shipping strike
is simply a case Of chickens com
ing home to roost,'" declared An
drew Furuseth, veteran president
of the International Seaman's Union
of America, in an exclusive inter
view with international News
Service today.
1.-THE shipping interests" said
Furuseth, ARE reaping the harvest
of the policy they have pursued for
has driven from the seas the real
skilled American seamen.
I'm their stead the ship owners
have employed the reds Of Europe
and the l. w. WIS of America.
1t is these men who are answering
the wobbly strike call. Members
of the Seamen's Union are not leav-
ing the ships. OF course they are
leaving ships as individuals but that
has been going on for two years.
They are leaving to enter other
lines. They are quitting because
they can do better elsewhere.
Unions Not Involved.
buL Bel lHl6 SlI dlAHI' wait
the public to know the Seamen's
Union is in nowise connected with
this strike. We have nothing to
not Join them under any circum-
stances nor for any purpose. -
Furuseth pointed out that re-
ports SO far indicate the 1. w. w.
strike has had practically no effect
on the Pacific so far as seamen
are concerned.
This goes to show that the
wobbly influence has not perlne-
ated the seanen of the Pacific" he
said, adding that the l. w. w. in.
fluence had evidently been extend.
ed further on the Atlantic coast
than here.
"Ships are being sent out under
manned in number and in skill.
They are being operated by a few
old gray haired men who know
how to do nothing else and young
boys who know nothing of ships
and steamships.
Many Are Smuggling.
A large number Of these men are
shipping as sailors for the purpose
of smuggling. They are smuggling
| everything, including narcotics. and
many of them are users Of mar
| cotics.
IAN increase in wages will not
remedy the situation" he contin.
ued. I'm order to save the rem
nants of the once large personnel
of efficient American sailors some
honest and fair agreement must be
reached between the union and the
ship owners. Such an agreement
would bring back on this coast be.
tween 1000 and 200 good men.
who will never return to the ships
otherwise"
President Furuseth declared he
had predicted two years ago. when
| the break occurred between the
ship owners and the unions, that
such condition as exists today
would come.
