HOW —
FORKS!' FIRES ARB FOIMJUT
IN TALL TIMBER COUNTRY.—
Usually forest flies are fought by
cutting a line about them and dig
ging a trench down to the mineral
soil In front of the flames, says
Charles Lathrop Pack of the Amer
ican Tree association. This Is
called trenching. Once the flames
reach the trench, they have no fuel
on which to feed and so go out.
But It Is not always as simple as
this.
Frequently flres Jump across the
best fire lines that man cun make, j
and under heavy winds sparks
have been known to leap over a
quarter of a mile and start flres
far In the rear of the fighters. In
some regions airplanes patrol the
forests In search of fire and often
aid by giving the forest officers a
bird's-eye view of large flres dur
Ing the battle. New roads and
trails are being built Into the re
gions of greatest Are danger.
Each year the states and coun
ties are protecting tlielr forest
lands against fire with greater ef
fectiveness. In regions where
most of the timber lands are owned
by farmers, the- timber owners are
each supplied with fire extinguish
ers and other flre-ftghting tools and
are expected to Join together In
fighting any fire that breaks out
in the woodlands In their neighbor
hood.
Each timber owner is thus in
sured the protection afforded by
the joint efforts of his neighbors
If a lire should happen to break
out on his property. Where large
tractu of forest lands are owned by
timber companies as for example
In the northwest, several of these
companies often Join together for
the mutual protection of their tim
ber.
How Sponge* Are Kept
A lire by Ocean Water
When you take a sponge to your
bath, you go In company with the
skeleton of a creature which never
had a mouth, says Answers Magazine.
The fibers of your sponge are the
bones of this elastic creature which
once lived In the Mediterranean, or on
the shores of the West Indies or Aus
tralia. It was kept nllve by currents
of water flowing through It, bringing
It oxygen and minute particles of food,
while washing away waste matter.
Yet It had no mouth or any sep
arate organ. Any fragment of a living
sponge will live and grow If separated
from Uie parent.
We Isave one mouthless Insect—the
mayfly. It usually lives but a few
hours, and has no need of food.
But though mouthless. It has a stom
ach, However, this Is filled only with
gas, which keeps It buoyant as It
dances above the river wherein It was
reared.

gelatin mold Is then made of the orig

made around the wax figure, pipes be

may melt and run oft when placed In
a kiln and baked. The plaster mold
Is then placed In ■ pit and packed
solidly with earth, and molten bronze,
at a temperature of 1,900 degrees, is
poured into It. When cool the bronze
statue is finished, a blow torch and
liquid chemicals being used to obtain
tlie desired color effects. There are
several methods of casting the final
statue, but this Is typical. The bronze
statue of the Goddess of Freedom, on
the Cnpitol at Washington, was cast
In a foundry.

U. S. Mining Supports Millions
An investgation of the eco
nomic importance of the min
ing industry of the United
States made by the National
Committee for the Rehabilita
tion of the U. S. Bureau of
Mines, in cooperation with the
American Mining Congress,
has revealed some astonishing
facts, chief of which is that
the industry in all its ramifi
cations probably contributes
in gome degree to the support
of approximately one-fifth df
our population of 125,000,000
people.
The investigation, made for
use in efforts to secure greater
appropriations and wider scope
for the Bureau of Mines, has
revealed the following out
standing facts:
Mining is carried on in vary
ing degrees in each of the 48
states of the Union.
Out of a total of 3,071 count
ies, 2,034 are producers of min
erals.
Capital invested is estimated
j at from 12 to 15 billions of dol
lars.
Average annual value of
products for the period 1923
1932, was $4,466,700,000.
The industry paid over $200,
000,000 in federal and state
taxes.
The industry employed 1,
700,000 workers at an annual
wage of $1,220,000,000.
It Purchased approximately
$350,000,000 of equipment and
operating supplies; furnished
about 65 per cent of all freight
handled by the railroads, and
paid 22 per cent of the feder
al income.

j How “Whoopee” Started
in It* Modern Meaning
Started In Montreal and caught up
by the American press, there flourishes
a lively discussion of "whoopee," the
word.
Is It slang? Not at all, the papers
declare, pointing out that the good old
word used more than three centuries
ago by Massinger and Dekker In their
play "The Virgin Martyr,” which con
tains the line, "Nay, lady, for my part.
I'll cry whoopee."
Well, so it was. That very line is
quoted In the Standard Dictionary.
But no one In those ancient days ever
spoke of "making whoopee," and the
same authority define* it as originally
“a cry of exultation or urging”—a lit
tle like our modern “wow” or “atta
boy,” we assume, but. nevertheless,
quite conventional. Beading on. how
ever. we find it recognized as slang in
its secondary meaning, and when you
speak of "making whoopee" you can
no longer claim to be keeping within
the hounds of Seventeenth-century
English.
Lexicographer* are still wonderins
how the word got to America, but U
seems clear that cowboy* were th<
first to use it here, and that circus
people took It upu But even then H
remained for New York to transforn
“whoopee” into a noun and add It t(
our vocabulary of alcoholic slang.—

Mild Weather Marks
Winter In Alaska
