Rexford. CLOSING OF FORESTS FOR PROTECTION Wider areas of national forest reserves in California are being closed to all visitors, except by special permission of the Forestry Service. This is an emergency measure. It is not to be understood that it is to be the permanent policy of the national Forestry Bureau to close forest reserves every summer. It must be realized that the present is an extraordinary season—such a season as may not be repeated in a generation. Hence, uncommon measures are necessary adequately to protect the forests. The better the people co-operate in eradicating fire dangers the sooner will all parts of the forest reserves of the state be reopened. This course is in the nature of a quarantine, as it were. When the epidemic of fires is stamped out and when conditions become less inflammable and menacing, the reserves will admit hikers and campers, in the usual fashion. It is the intention of the national government to make of these reserves vast playgrounds for the people. But the people to have this boon, must co-operate with the constituted authorities in suppressing fires and in minimizing fire perils. SEE CALIFORNIA NOW—AGAIN AND AGAIN SEE CALIFORNIA NOW—AGAIN AND AGAIN This is the time of year when thousands of Californians take vacation. And taking a vacation usually means taking a trip. Taking a vacation in California is not a difficult thing to plan. The greatest difficulty is in deciding which trip to make. Tor there are trips almost innumerable which may be made with ease and comfort and which provide pleasures for vacationists. There are little journeys or big journeys of many varieties which may be taken—trips to suit every taste. If it is the mountains and woodlands, there is an immense stretch where solemn grandeur reigns through the ages. No state is wealthier in varied mountain scenery than California. Hundreds of miles of mountain ranges roll away, from the ocean shore, or inland. And there is the beach. Hundreds of miles of shore line, with an almost infinite diversity of situation and scene. Low, flat shores of shining sands, over which the shimmering, purling waters roll in foamy laziness; or bold and rugged shores where the breakers roll with thunderous booming. And there are quiet pastoral scenes—just the sweet, quaint, seductive country, with its emerald orchards, laden with fruit, its golden fields of grain, its contented cattle browsing indolently, and its snug little homes among the trees. There is repose and romance out there in the country. One evil peculiar to the hinterland is synonyms: Few failures are seen as that of a bald man nose in his effort to be freed. Freud may call it a complex, but what real boy of sixteen is swell. No prominent citizen awsome after you see only figure in a bathing room.

Mountains in shadows and foreststs asleep; Down the dim river we float on forever. Speak not, ah, breathe not—there's peace on the deep. Come not, pale sorrow, flees till tomorrow; Rest softly falling o'er eyelids that weep; While down the river we float on forever. Speak not, ah, breathe not—there's peace on the deep. As the waves cover the depths we glide over, So let the past in forgetfulness sleep. While down the river we float on forever, Speak not, ah, breathe not—there's peace on the deep. Heaven shine above us, bless all that love us; All whom we love in thy tenderness keep! While down the river we float on forever, Speak not, ah, breathe not—there's peace on the deep.

Waste, disease, poverty, misery, sorrow and narrow-mindedness are the brood which chemical science has singled out for attack, Professor Baskeland says. "The outbreak of the war compelled the uniformed public to realize the importance of the chemist in the United States, and that the words chemist and pharmacist are not synonymous—also that Germany was not the only place on earth where chemists may be born or raised." Professor Baskeland declares. "German chemists had been remarkably advertised, but it came to be known that several other lands, some of them much smaller in size and population, showed a very favorable comparison with that country in their contributions to chemical progress. "At the beginning of the war, when there was a shortage of dyes, it was held as a reproach to our chemists that they had not developed an aniline dye industry. But the main reason for this was that for many years our legislators had been taken in by adroit propaganda, which made them believe that Germany was exclusively suited for this industry, and which led them to vote unfavorable tariff laws." The war forced us to correct our errors, and our chemists responded resolutely. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying LAW IN NEED OF REFORMING—San Francisco Bulletin The growing belief that there is more need of reform in law than of reform by law finds support in an address recently delivered by Attorney General Harlan F. Stone before the American Bar Association. Though believing that the legal structure of the country has been steadily improving, he says that laxity in administration of law is due principally to two causes—first, the low standards of admissions to the bar, which have permitted increasing numbers of persons to enter the legal professions; second, the political character and atmosphere of the office of the public prosecutor. That better law enforcement is dependent upon a better bar is a proposition that has been persistently and widely maintained. It is the only practical solution of the problem of better police court judges. Just now in San Francisco we have reason to feel satisfied with the police court bench, but there have been other times, and always there are other towns. By raising the standards of admission to the bar and by enforcing a stricter code of ethics in the legal profession the standards of the bench would be automatically raised. To do this there has been proposed what looks like a workable plan, and that is to make the profession self-governing by means of state bar associations legally empowered to prescribe courses of study, conduct examinations for admission and to enforce a code of ethics by finding, suspending or disbarring offending practitioners. It is in the interests of the legal profession to raise its standards. There would be more litigation if there were more confidence in profession—that is to say, fewer people would prefer to endure the illis they have as alternative to flying to others that they know not of. Fear of the law should not be in the minds of those that have done no wrong, but are suffering the wrongs done by others. Under the present system the shyster lawyer has a protection he would not enjoy if the profession were self-governing, as it is in more progressive states. As for the political character and atmosphere of the office of public prosecutor, that is another evil of the elective system applied to offices that in the interests of justice should be appointive. Cleanings Book Nature At the beginning of the war, when there was a shortage of dyes, it was held as a reproach to our chemists that they had not developed an aniline dye industry. But the main reason for this was that for many years our legislators had been taken in by adroit propaganda, which made them believe that Germany was exclusively suited for this industry, and which led them to vote unfavorable tariff laws. The war forced us to correct our errors, and our chemists showed impressive resourcefulness and adaptability in creating many gigantic chemical industries which, until then, had been stunted in the United States. The war is over now—and the chemist is back on his old job. The kind of war he prefers is a war of peace, where he wears no uniform, although sometimes he risks his life as much as in the trenches. His war now is against waste, disease, property, misery, sorrow, narrow-mindedness—a war against ignorance, which breeds all of these calamities. While he is waging this war, his strength, his power for good should not depend exclusively on knowledge. Knowledge alone is a two-edged sword sometimes very dangerous to its possessor. The human race has suffered as often from knowledge without idealism as from idealism without knowledge without idealism without knowledge. It is the task of our schools, our colleges, our universities to teach this to our graduating chemists; it is the duty of our chemists to work and live accordingly. Along this line or effort, what every chemist should strive for individually, our American Chemical society must aim at collectively. It can do many things in that direction. It can help to implant this gospel in our educational program. It can teach that greater power, greater wealth claim higher responsibilities, greater service, whether the opssessor be an individual, a corpation, a chemical society or nation. It can enlighten the public at large about the full scope of chemical science.
