The grown-ups resting in the cool shade of pines and firs; the children romping and chasing squirrels or wading in the creek. Overhead a blazing sun; underfoot a forest floor dry as a tinder-box. The distant landscape shimmers with the heat of a September afternoon. Even the song of the birds is hushed. A lone man wanders from the party, up the canyon, pleasure bent. With the keen delight of a city-dweller he views the green forest, the trout in the pools and the eagle soaring overhead. Methodically he takes a cigarette from his pocket, and as he turns to retrace his steps, lights it and thoughtlessly throws the flaming match onto the dry forest floor. A little thread of curling smoke; a spark of fire fanned to life by the summer breeze. A finger of flame reaches out and touches a nearby bush. The hiss of burning pine, crackling flames, billowing smoke and raging fire sweeping onward, skyward. The demon of the forest is loose. Two thousand men, digging, chopping, sweating, cursing under a torrid sun. leary eyes, parched throats, muscles that cry aloud from fatigue. Long, gruelling hours of labor, a snatch of food, and the hard ground for a bed. From daylight to dusk and from dusk to daylight the fight goes on—for a week, ten days, two weeks. Here a mile of fire line is lost; there a mile gained, until finally the Fire Demon is cornered and conquered by the weary army of fighb to life by the summer breeze. A finger of flame reaches out and touches a nearby bush. The hiss of burning pine, crackling flames, billowing smoke and raging fire sweeping onward, skyward. The demon of the forest is loose. Two thousand men, digging, chopping, sweating, cursing under a torrid sun. Leary eyes, parched throats, muscles that cry aloud from fatigue. Long, gruelling hours of labor, a snatch of food, and the hard ground for a bed. From daylight to dusk and from dusk to daylight the fight goes on—for a week, ten days, two weeks. Here a mile of fire line is lost; there a mile gained, until finally the Fire Demon is cornered and conquered by the weary army of fighters. And in the Demon’s wake—20,000 acres of gray ashes and blackened stubs. A land as barren as the Sahara, without flowers or birds or animal life. The timber, the protective watershed cover, the pretty picnic spots have disappeared in smoke. Desolation reigns supreme. It all happened on the Angeles National Forest of Southern California this summer. That one little smoke cost the man who carelessly set the woods on fire $250 and many hours of hard work on the fire line. And it cost you more than $50,000—for it was your money, paid in taxes, that footed the fire fighting bill. Maudlin sensationalism is not real news. Political parties should make their platforms mean what they say. Co-operation of parents is needed to make the public schools as fully successful as they should be. S funny world. The surgeon saves a life and nobody cares; the gangster takes one and everybody’s interested. Only carefulness will save the forests from disastrous fires. The duty of caution rests squarely upon each and every man, woman and child. —now at our NEW Location AT 242 E. Center St. LOCATION AT 242 E.

Another argument in favor of the vacuum cleaner, as against the broom, is that you can dodge it better. When you pack children or apples you must eliminate those that have communicable defects.

Miss Marjorie Simons accompanies COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying EARLY TRAINING—Colton Courler There is nothing more interesting than a large family and there is nothing more exasperating to the parents especially when the younsters rance from six to sixteen. During those ages everyone seems to disagree with everyone else and it takes a father as wise as Solomon to settle some of the disputes. Orientimes these disagreements are nothing more or less than the petty jealousies which later in life manifest themselves in the business world when one brother makes a greater success than the others. To squelch these disagreements in the youthful days means much brighter days ahead according to one family in which the parents have always made it a rule that regardless of how many quarrels their youngsters have had during the day they must always go to bed at night feeling kindly toward one another. There must always be a friendly "good night" spoken before the departure of each child for his roomnd in the morning there is a happy "good morning" before the bright faces are allowed to sit at table. And another practice which is admirable in this family would be well emulated in many other American homes. No child is allowed to sit at the breakfast table without his or her hair neatly combed. The habit is not so prevalent since bobbing became the rage but previous to that time there were many homes in which mother came to the breakfast table in curl papers and the children had long strands of hair hanging outside the braid and the unruly shocks of the boys' hair were topsy-turvy. And then the wife and mother complained if her husband happened to speak glowingly of the neatness of his office girl. Could any man be blamed for admiring neatness after carrying a mental picture of those horny curl papers and those stringy locks of the children all the way down to the office? Everyone—man or woman—down deep in his or her heart admires neatness, but many of them are not willing to sacrifice personal comfort to attain it. ON YOUTH It was written by George Sand, a woman, that Youth lives only in theories, and present society lives only in practice. She observed that Youth is the portion of human life which varies the least among individuals; manhood, that which differs the most. "All age is the result of this period and differs accordingly. But the weakening of the faculties confounds their distinctions, like distance weakening colors and throwing over them its indis tince vell."
