NEW TEMPLE OF THE GODS
' Beautiful Spot In Southern Utah That
la Off the Beaten Trail ?#
the T ouiist.
In the ordinary House, no part of
the United State* properly cao be
called unexplored. The now Teiuple
of the OodM, In southern Utah, la a
discovery as far as tho average tour
ist (a concerned, though by no means
Is It unexplored or "new" territory.
A bare 17 miles to the west' runs the
well-traveled state highway from Salt
Lake City to the Qrand canyon. An
old trail branches off from' the road
between Panultch and Tropica, lu Qer
field county.
In the distance Is Table Cliff
plateau, source of the Kscalaute riv
er; nearer, the broad amphitheater of
the Paria valley; at bis feet the New
Temple itself, a veritable sunken gar
den. about one by thi^e miles, of ex
quisite daintiness and beauty. Within
Its tortuous walls of marl stand ob
elisks and towers, castles and fort
resses, Impressionistic statuary and
giant sculptures, kaleidoscopic In their
coloring and framed by the tufted yel
low pines and the red manzanlta.
The startling color changes and
lighting effects of this great geological
stage are. Indeed, Its most extraordi
nary feature. In the shifting rays of
sun and cloud, the tall, slender shafts
and ornamental turrets gleam white,
glow suddenly to a cherry heat and
suddenly cool to purple j^lack. ? J. O.
Alter in popular Mechanics Magazine.
BIG GUNS MUST BE MOBILE
Otherwise in Future Wars They Will
Be Quickly Wiped Out if "Spot
ted" From Above. I
While the war was in progress new
military Inventions and Improvements
were for obvious reasons kept secret
In America. Now, however, they are
beginning to leak out.
For example, thqre Is a' hew 14-lnch
gurt, which is called "pride of the
army." All big guns lu future \rlll
be made mobile (on rails or drawn by
gasoline tractors), because otherwise
they Would Invite their own destruc
tion.' With the help of "spotting" air
planes they might be quickly wiped
out.
The guus which now defend Amer
ican seacoast. forts ^ire stationary, and
the big ones of no larger caliber than
12 Inches. They are to be replaced
by l^-inch rifles on mobile mounts, and
It Is manifest the plans of the fortifi
cations will have to be altered.
Newest American battleships carry
14-inch guns, which have been deemed
the most effective weapons of their
type in the world. Some of them did
duty on land In France toward the
end of the war. But this new rifle (n
product of army ordnance experts'
best Ingenuity) Is superior In several
respects. It will throw a ..shell 35
riiiiles.
Poor Packing Causes Waste.
Few persons considering the cost of
living realize that more than $700,000,
000 Is added to the cost of their food,
clothing and other necessities each
year because of' the waste caused by
damage, unscientific loading and the
tremendous cost of packing these
commodities. The railroads and the
shippers realize It, as shown by their
conducting a campaign to reduce to
the minimum the waste through dam
age, and to utilize to the utmost the
capacity of freight cars, which are
Aaufed half empty.
These are some of the items which
enter Into this waste estimate ? carn
age and theft, $100,000,000; wasted
lumber used only once In packing
cases, $240,000,000; empty car space,
$209,000,000; and the staggering cost
to the railroads of hauling, half empty
cars -more than 6,000,000,000 miles,
$157,000,000. It Is, estimated that from
10 to 25 per cei\f<of the cost of food
stuffs goes to pay for the crates
which are thrown away.
Big, Railroader's Hobby.
Carl B. Gray, the new president of
the Union Pacific system, has one
hobby ? that Is his family in which
he takes the greatest Interest and
pride. "Whep his two boys,, who am
now at college, were attending pre
paratory school at Baltimore," says J,
O. Donley, Jr., in Forbes* Magazine,
"he never missed a baseball or foot*
ball game in which the school team
participated unless he was ,away from
home. And he knew every boy on the
teams by his first name.' One of hla
greatest delights was to_ get out on
the baseball field on a summer evening
and 'bat flies' to his boys. When not
on the road or In his office, he spends
all of his time with his family.**
His Ambition.
Ten-year-old Ted made his first long
visit to the country. He was ranch
Impressed with the, returns of farming,
bat not with the work which brought
the returns. He studied the occupa
tion of farming diligently In order to
see what part of It was easiest. And
one day he discovered what ha
thought was.
""Then he went to his mother. "I al
ways said that I would be a farmer
when I grow up," he told her, "but I
guess I won't be a rest farmer. I
guess I'll be a hog sloppfr."
Nothing Doing. -
"The overall club is a fine Idea for
men, but I'm afraid It won't work
out.**
"Why not?"
?'Well, ve're going to have trouble
if w* trr to get the women to follow
salt and appear la public la Umo>
wrnppofa."

THE CLETRAC DIGS
NO RUTS
It's ten feet of traction surface glides smoothly
over any kind of soil, wet or dry. It climbs hill sides
or pulls through sandy land without apparent effort or
-- strain. Back of this principle is the successful records
of hundreds of government army tanks that helped win
the war.
The Cletrac will do your farm work as efficiently
as the government tank worked on the battle fields of
Europe. You can safely depend on it for economy and
never failing action in plowing, harrowing, seeding,
harvesting, hauling, logging, road building or anjLflart

The Cave Man
Hurled a Rock
The cave man could hurl
a rock which was heavier
than you or I could pos
sibly lift. But his enjoy*
ment of health .was no
greater than yours can be.
Vitality, bounding energy
. ?these make for joy in
life. And they are the
birthright of everyone.
Enjoy the blessed privi
lege of'health. Make your
life really worth living. To
be physically fit it is only
necessary to obey the
laws of health, the first of
which is ? maintain a clean
intestinal system.
Nujol works on an en
tirely new principle.
Instead of forcing or irritating
the system, it simply softens
the food waste. This enables
the many tiny muscles in the
wails of the intestines, contract
ing and expanding in their nor
mal way* to squeeze the food
waste along so that it passes
naturally out of the system.
Nujol thus prevents constipa
tion because it helps Nature
maintain easy, thorough bowel
movements at regular intervals
? the healthiest habit in the
world.
Nuiol is absolutely harmless
and pleasant to take. Try it.
Nujol is sold by ell drufjiata in sealed bottle* only, beariaf Nujol trade
