Children Are Set
By the Assotittefl Press.
SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 3.-Five
high school girls, critically injured
In the train-bus crash Thursday
which already has claimed 33 lives,
waged a desperate battle agaihst
death today.
Hospital attendants said two, Rela
BeCkstead, IS, of South Jordan, and
Anne Webb, 16, of Riverton, were
“sinking,” and the condition of two
others was "very poor.”
Three other vicftims, less seriously
Injured, remained in hospitals, while
eight survivors were recovering at
their homes. Twenty-one pupils of
South Jordan High School died with
their bus driver, Farrold H. SilCox,
29, in the crash, and another student
died yesterday.
The bus was struck during a snow
storm by the Plying Ute. express
freight train of the Denver A Rio
Grande Western Railroad.
Flags floated at half staff on all
school buildings in the Jordan area
as preparations were made for four
mass funerals Sunday and Monday
in the four Latter Day Saints Church
wards where lived most of the vic
tims. Separate funeral services will
be held for children from other
wards.
Probes of the accident were started
by railroad officials, school author
ities, the county attorney’s office
and the Utah Public Service Com
mission. Two investigators for the
Interstate Commerce Commission
also were reported en route here
from Washington.

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON W. BURGESS.
Old Mothet Nature is very good
to her children and when they get
hurt she heals their wounds quickly.
Within a few days after his fight
with Yowier the Bobcat, when he
was so badly clawed and bitten.
Bowser was feeling quite himself
again. So, when one morning
Farmer Brown's Boy came out of
the house with a gun in his hands
and Whistled to him, Bowser barked
joyfully and jumped about his
master as if he were quite crazy.
You see it was a long, long tinie
since he * had seen a gun in the
hands of Farmer Brown’s Boy. The
sight of it recalled to Bowser the
old days when he and his master
had so often hunted over the Green
Meadows and through the Green
Forest. You know there is nothing
Bowser so loves as a goOd hunt.
He never had been able to under
stand why Farmer Brown s Boy had
put his gun away and given Up
hunting.
“Now,” thought Bowser, “we shall
have another glorious hunt for
Reddy Fox. If I can once find his
trail. I’ll drive him around to where
my master can Shoot him,” and he
started to race ahead to hunt for
Reddy’s trail. A sharp whistle
stopped him. He looked back, wag
ging his tail.
“You come in here at my heels,
sir,” commanded Farmer Browns
Boy, and Bowser obeyed as he had
been taught to do. He didn't under
stand it, but he obeyed.
Through the Old Orchard toward
the Green Forest they went, Bowser
sniffing and snuffing in the grass
eagerly. Near the edge of the Old
Orchard he caught a whiff of scent
which told him that Reddy Fox had
been along there some time during
the night before. Instantly Bowser
stopped and With eager little Whines
began to run this way and that way
with his nose to the ground trying
to find out which way Reddy had
gone. A sharp command from
Farmer Brown's Boy bade him come
on.
Its Different
' f
BECAUSE:—
Pother John's
Medicine is not
"Just another cold
remedy.” It not
only helps break
up colds, but
builds up the
body.
Its healthful,
nourishing e 1 e
ments aid in
maintaining
strength, vigor
and vitality.
Its use by mil
lions of people
during 14 years
is the strongest
possible proof of
value.
Bowser stopped sniffing and snuff
ing and obediently followed his
master. But Bowser was sorely
puzzled. He knew that Farmer
Browrfts Boy had known that he
had found a trace of Reddy Fox,
yet here they were going straight
into the Green Forest. It was clear
that Farmer Borwn's Boy was not
going to hunt Reddy Fox. Bowser
was disappointed, but the sight
of the terrible gun on the shoulder
of Farmer Brown's Boy relieved him
a little. They must be going to
hunt some one or that gun would
have been left at home, so he would
try to be patient until he should
find out who that some one was.
Deeper and deeper into the Green
Forest his master led the way.
Presently Bowser began to grow un
easy. The farther they went the
more uneasy he grew. You see they
were getting nearer and nearer the
place Where a few days before Bow
ser had been so scratched and bit
, ten by Yowler the Bobcat. He had
no desire to meet Yowler again. A
dreadful thought popped into his
head. Could it be that it was Yowler
himself Farmer Brown's Boy meant
to hunt?
1 Presently Farmer Brown's Boy
ordered Bowser ahead. “Oo fi/id
him. Bowser! Sic hlfh!” he com
manded.
in the Joy of being ordered to
hunt Bowser bounded ahead. He
didn’t know whose trail he was to
look for, but he was to hunt for
some one. Perhaps he would find
the trail of old Granny Fox or the
trail of Jumper the Hare.. He be
gan to run this way and that way
sniffing eagerly among the leaves.
He'had quite forgotten Yowler the
Bobcat.
So they went on for some little
distance, Bowser eagerly hunting for
the trail of some one, any one, who
would leave a scent he could follow
with his wonderful nose. And then
suddenly he came on a trail, a
fresh trail, the strong scent from
which filled his nose. But instead
of opening his mouth and sending
his great voice rolling through the
Green Forest as he usually does
Bowser stopped. The hair on his
neck stood up in a stiff little ridge.
He growled softly, then he delib
erately turned and with his tail be
tween his legs sneaked back to his
master and crept behind him.

Navy Hydrographic
Personnel Increase
Asked by Capl. Leahy
New Survey Vessel Also
Is Needed for Work,
Report Says
To keep pace with increasing de
mands of the growing United States
fleet, merchant marine and naval
and civilian aviation the Navy Hy
drographic Office is urgently in
need of additional personnel and
funds, according to the annual re
port of the hydrographer, Capt.
Lamar R. Leahy, U. S. N„ made
public today.
The office has been compelled to
increase the issue of charts by 35
per Cent despite a shortage of per
sonnel, which “most seriously han
dicaps the efficiency of the office,”
Capt. Leahy reported. A new sur
vey vessel also is required to re
place the worn-out U. S. S. Han
nibal, he said.
Equipment Used.
The office has ihstituted the use
of zinc plates Coated with a special
paint in lieu of paper for the draft
ing of accurate Cartographic work
Without danger of subsequent dis
tortion, and also has devised im
proved methods of transferring
topographic detail from aerial pho
tographs by a simple and inex
pensive photogrammetric equip
ment which yields “remarkable re
sults,” it was reported.
The output of nautical charts
and the routine work of keeping
charts up to date has exceeded the
Work of all previous years. How
ever, the hydrographer warned,
many of the zinc plates required
for the printing of charts already
in issue are badly worn. At the
present rate of production replace
ment of these bad plates can not
be accomplished for more than 10
years, he said. Many of these
plates soon must be replaced or
cancelled, in which case mariners
will have to rely upon foreign charts,
according to the report.
Ice Patrol System.
Revision of the international ice
patrol system has been put into
effect during the year. Two mes
sages a day instead of one now are
being received rrom Goast Guard
cutters in the iceberg areas, and
two additional ice broadcasts are
made from Arlington, Va., eliminat
ing broadcasts from Boston, New
York and Norfolk. The number of
icebergs has been above normal
this year, it was reported, but the
new system has functioned smooth
ly and Should be continued, it was
recommended.
All old files of the Hydrographic
Office which hav# been stored in
the Naval Research Laboratory
and at the Torpedo Station, Alex
andria. Va., have been removed to
the office for examination and
transfer to the National Archives.
