PUBLIC! WORKS PLAN
IS ANCIENT STUFF
Brigham Young First Used
It to Help Unemployed.
Washington While residents of
the cities in which 23,000 projects
of the Public Works Administration
are located regard this nation-wide
improvement program as a new
type of government enterprise, peo
ple of Salt Lake City know that the
sage Mormon ..' leader, . ; Brigham
Young," was an early advocate of
the public works remedy for unem
ployment. Three-quarters of a century be
fore the New Deal, unemployed
Mormons found honest work at fair
wages in a construction program
initiated by their church just as
today thousands of construction
workers share in the" benefits of the
PWA program. , '
. In Salt Lake City the visitor may
see evidences of the first works in
itiated by Young, of the program
instituted to meet the panic of 1893,
and of new undertakings under way
or completed with the aid of PWA's
current works program, designed to
combat the recent economic crisis.
Spanning State street at East
South Temple is Salt Lake City's
most historic public work the
Eagle gate. From beneath its arch
the visitor looks up the hill to the
state capitol a comparative new
comer to the city.
Historic Eagle Gate.
Brigham Young ordered the con
struction of the Eagle gate in 1859
to provide for the jobless Mormons
of that period. The eagle, a huge
bronze bird, is mounted on an arch
spanning the road and supported by
stone pillars. It formed part of a
cobblestone wall 500 rods long, also
built as a public work, which sur
rounded the Young home and pro
vided a protection against Indians.
The great pioneer expressed his
belief in the works ideal as an un
employment remedy in no uncertain
( terms. He said:
"My experience has '.aught me,
and it has become i principle with
me, that it is never any benefit to
give out and out, to man or woman,
money, food, clothing, or anything
else, if they are able-bodied and
can work and earn what they need,
when there is anything on earth for
them to do. This is my principle and
I try to act upon it. To pursue any
other course would ruin any com
munity in the world and make them
idlers."
Many of the men who were des
tined to become leaders of the Des
eret state got their start as em
ployees on public works. Old records
show that mechanics received but
$2.50 a day and the architect but
$3.00.
Just as public works in 1937 cre
ate more employment in mines and
factories producing building mate
rials than they do at building sites,
so Utah's first works program gave
rise to many industries which had
not existed before a demand for ma
terials for use in job-making under
takings had made their establish
ment necessary.
. Lesson Are Recalled.
Lessons learned in the early days
of Salt Lake City were recalled in
the building depression preceding
the panic of 1893. Largely to give
employment, the local government
started construction on $1,000,000
city hall and county building an
ambitious undertaking for the times
--which; still stands as one of the
proudest edifices in the city. Hun
dreds of building mechanics who
faced unemployment were thus re
tained as wage-earners while the
indirect effects of their labor were
experienced in mines and quarries
and mills supplying the materials
for the project.
. Under the Public Works Admin
istration's program for Utah, scores
of water and sewer systems,
schools, roads, and public buildings
have been built or are under con
struction. .The sum allocated by
PWA nearly $20,000,000 in loans and
grants for useful improvements
would, astound old President Young.
- Most imposing of these improve
ments is the new library for the
University of Utah the most im
pressslve structure erected since the
state capitol was built some twenty
years ago. Of modern classic con
struction, it cost some $500,000.
PWA aided its construcion and the
improvement of other university fa
cilities by making the state of Utah
an allotment of $1,206,000.

HARBORS BY RADIO
U. S. Lighthouse Service Is
Highly Efficient.
New Haven, Conn. The United
States lighthouse service has con
stituted an imnortant factor in the
rnnnminal AnArntitn nf litcrTilv t
mechanized shipping whose objec
tive has been the saving of time,
according to R. R. Tinkham, chief
engineer of the service.
Established in' 1789? the service
first operated twelve lighthouses
and a few barrel buoys which pre
viously had been maintained by the
colonies as guides to the principal
Atlantic ports. Since then it has
grown to be the largest lighthouse
service in the world. Most recent
of its developments is the estab
lishment of the radio beacon.
"Changes in the character and
distribution of aids to navigation,"
said Tinkham, "have been as pro
nounced as the changes in shipping.
Not a few of the lighthouses that
have effectively served the needs of
sailing vessels and the slower light
draft ships of former years have
ceased to be of use to moder ship
ping and many of them now stand
unlightcd, austere monuments to a
romantic period in maritime his
tory. Sfeed Demands Increased.
"Fcrl, deep draft vessels of today
must be guided along traffic lanes
and deep water channels specially
provided and marked for them.
There was a time when delays to
vessels incident to vagaries of the
weather were accepted as of little
moment. Today, however, the sav
ing of time is a diligently sought ob
jective in the economical operation
of a highly mechanized shipping.
The development and establishment
of modern aids to navigation has
constituted an important factor in
this transition."
Valuable aids to the mariner de
vised since the advent of the mar-.
bier's compass are the radio beacon
and its complement, the radio di
rection finder aboard ship, Tinkham
explained. Three radio beacon sta
tions established in 1921 to mark
the approaches to New York harbor
were the first in the world.
Radio Beacons Synchronized.
"Today," said Tinkham, "the ra
dio beacon is in operation at impor
tant light stations throughout the
world, there being 127 such stations
on the- coasts of the United States.
They have been synchronized into
groups, accurately controlled by
self-regulating electric clocks, so
that adjacent stations, whether at
lighthouses or lightships, will oper
ate automatically on successive
minutes and at the same frequency
thus affording the mariner the op
portunity for successive bearings
with his radio direction finder by
which he may fix the position of his
ship.
"On all lightships, and at the
lighthouses located at critical points
te radio beacon is synchronized au
tomatically with the sound fog sig
nal for distance finding. This is ar
ranged so that at the end of each op
erating minute of the radio beacon,
a distinctive short-long dash of the
radio beacon and a short-long blast
of the sound fog signal are transmit
ted simultaneously."
By noting the difference in time
between his reception of the radio
signal and of the sound signal, per
ceived as an echo effect, an officer
of a ship in the vicinity may deter
mine his distance from the station
with a high degree of accuracy.

Penalty for Early Ohio Crimes
We of more modern times, cites
a writer in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, might regard the Ohio
crimes act of 1805 as barbarous,
but many persons then thought it
did not go far enough. It ordered
the death penalty for five different
crimes murder, rape, treason
against the state, malicious maim
ing, and malicious arson in which
life was lost or imperiled.
Gout Found Increasing
in U. S. Since Repeal
Rochester, Minn. "Cases of gout
have increased since the repeal of
prohibition," according to Dr. P. S.
Hench, of the Mayo clinic, "but ex
cesses of alcohol and food cannot
be considered the cause of this centuries-old
malady."
"Contrary to common opinion,
gout is not caused by too much food
and liquor, but from excesses of
alcohol and food there may result
flareups in symptoms and gouty
arthritis."
The common assumption that
gout has disappeared is erroneous,
the physician said. Qn the average,
three or four new cases come to the
Mayo clinic each week.
Dr. Hench said that X-rays are
helpful in confirming the diagnosis
of gout only fairly late in the dis
ease and that in miking a diag
nosis. early a ''gout conscious" phy
sician and a ''gout conscious" roent
genologist should work together
closely.
