FIRE WASTE FOOLISH Of all the fool things the American people do, there is probably none more senseless than the burning each year of millions of acres of forests, to any nothing of homes and lives frequently destroyed. To permit this destruction to continue, with the scarcity of timber now so plainly written on the wall, is nothing more than dowright adminitry. It is high time California was taking up the fact that forests and prosperity are inseparably linked together, and that every tree that goes up in smoke is a national calamity as well as a drain on their pocketbooks. Over one half of the remaining timber in the United States lies along the Pacific Coast, and it is to California and the Northwest that two thirds of the people of this country are now turning for their timber supply. If we are to meet this demand we must see to the preservation of our magnificent forests; and that, in short, means eliminating the forest fire menace. Nearly 2000 forest fires occurred in California in 1922. These conflagrations burned over more than 650,000 acres of timber and brush land and did damage amounting to $650,000. Over 85 per cent of these fires were man-caused, and therefore preventable. Eight hundred fires of this total were directly due to the carelessness of campers and tobacco smokers. The thoughtless camper and the smouldering cigarette stub are still the most deadly enemies of the green forest. The toll of the scarlet scourge of the forest in this state for the past ten years stands at 1,300,000 acres burned over with damage that amounts to more than $4,000,000. Sobering figures these to all those who have the best interests of California at heart. Forest protection, however, is by no means a new ideal. Jool in the Old Testament gives some wonderful descriptions of the destruction wrought by forest fires, and was in the sense the inventor of the present day slogan—HELP PREVENT PIRES." Isaiah, from a conservation standpoint, was the Roosevelt of the Holy Land, and an ardent advocate of forest and water shed protection. David knew much about forestry, and even Solomon spake o trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth from the wall. Today ninety-five per cent of the forest problem is on fire prevention. Nature, if given COMMENTS ON THE PRESS COAL YIELDS GASOLINE—Berkel Gasette.

By a gian process, coal freshly drawn from has been baked in an oven at low temp and made to yield high test gasoline a ton. The coal is not used this process. It can still be sold and its usual having lost only a little of its no value. If this can be done at all, it can be many places with many grades of coal, enough coal in the country to last for on any conceivable scale of requirement of the energy contained in the coal he been wasted, by ordinary methods or tion.

Some liquid fuel has been obtained eral years already, in commercial quality the form of benzol. The benzol may and exploded directly or combined with gasoline, as it is now by at least one refining company. Eventually gasoline may come to be product of coal. Extracted at the most coal mine and shipped or piped to distribution, it may serve all the need motors. NEW YORK LETTER BY LUCY JEANNE PRICE Let no one scorn our city as a place olity and uselessness. Miss Mary Forest protection, however, is by no means a new idea. Joel in the Old Testament gives some wonderful descriptions of the destruction wrought by forest fires, and was in the sense the inventor of the present day slogan—HELP PREVENT PIRES.” Isaiah, from a conservation standpoint, was the Roosevelt of the Holy Land, and an ardent advocate of forest and water shed protection. David knew much about forgery, and even Solomon spoke o ftrees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth from the wall. Today ninety-five per cent of the forest problem hinges on fire prevention. Nature, if given a fighting chance, will recollate the cutover and denuded mountain slopes with a new growth of trees. Seventy five years from now—a short span in the life of a forest—experts say that the last virgin stands of timber in this state will have been laid low, and we will then have to look to the second growth forests for our lumber supply. Will we then have sufficient timber for the upbuilding of that greater California for which we are now striving? YES. If we take to heart the lessons of the past and learn to preach and practice SARE WITH FIRE IN THE FORESTS. National prosperity has never yet in world’s history been built of the blackened stumps of burned forests. That’s why President Harding, realizing the seriousness of the situation, has for the third time proclaimed FOREST PROTECTION WEEK April 22-28. Truthy and risque literature is poison to mind and morals of the young. What boys and girls should read should be safeguarded with great care. Those American investors back of the Chester concession are preparing to carve some tempting morsels of economic white meat out of Turkey. California affords almost infinite variety of scenery. One might go about in spare time for an average lifetime and yet not exhaust inter-east sightseeing in this state. Some of these boys now growing up, who are destined to become President of the United States, cannot boast that they were born in log cabins. The days of log-cabin births are about numbered in this country. TOWN IN REVIEW A boy that does not want to eat things that will make him sick, is sick.

FRIEDA'S FOLLIES There is one woman in town who hates me. She is several years my senior. And an old maid. I knew my time would come. It did. At a tea. Everybody was there. Who hasn't a skeleton in one's closet? The papers were teeming with a scandal. The man was a cousin of mine. It was a breach of promise suit. The kind she, an old maid could never have. She waited until everyone was listening. Then she asked me how my cousin's case was progressing. Women are so sensitive about their age. I told her I could not discuss such a subject with her.
