it mean? The rules of Information

STILL KNOCKING
SOUTHERN UTAH

Tourists from the north arriv-
ing in St. George report that in
formation bureaus in Salt Lake
are giving the impression that the
road south from St. George Is
nearly impossible and that a man
is taking his life in his hands if
he attempts to travel this way
A tourist with his wife and fam
lily drove up to the White Front
Service Station the first of the
week and after filling up with
gas and oil asked for four water
bags. When asked why he wanted
four bags he replied that he would
need them before he got across
the desert.
Asked which desert he was re-
ferring to, he answered. The deS-
ert between here and Las Vegas,
l was told to load up at st. George
with as much water as I could
haul berause there is 200 miles OF
desert between st. George and
Las Vegas, and it is all upgrade.
When the true state of affairs
was explained to him he was
much relieved. for he said they
were on the verge of turning back
and taking some other route to
the coast.
AS a matter of fact the road is
in good shape, travellers coming
from the west often inquire in
st. George as to the location OF
the bad road of which they have
heard so much.

tervals along the route no stretch

The Jennings were married in

Several years ago, according TO
Mr.. Jennings story the eldest
child became i'll with a form of
epilepsy, and after consultation
with the best doctors available,
the parents were advised to take
her to specialists in Boston and
New York. This being beyond the
means of the plaintiff, his parents
offered to pay the expenses if
the plaintiff would take the child
To this the defendant objected
strenuously, but the plaintiff took
her in spite of the objection.
Failure to provide a proper home
and give the children proper care
was another ground mentioned by
Mr.. Jennings. He also stated in
his testimony that his wife had
violent temper which she made
no effort to control.
Extreme jealousy of his parents
was, Mr.. Jennings said in answer
to questioning by the Court, en-
tirely unfounded. His parents

to this the defendant objected
