FEW DONTS ON
HOW PREVENT
FOREST FIRES
WASHINGTON, June 20 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Now is the time to
stop the forest fires by not having any,
says an announcement from the Ameri
can Forestry association. The fire in
Minnesota last year is still fresh in
the public mind and when it is esti
mated that the fire loss in 1918 was
128,500,000 and that 8,400,000 acres
were burned, every precaution should
be taken by summer campers, says the
association.
Here are some “don't” to be pasted
up on every tent door flap:
Don’t throw your match away until
you are sure it is out.
Don’t drop cigarette or cigar butts
until the glow is extinguished.
Don’t knock out your pipe ashes
while hot or where they will fall into
dry leaves or other inflammable
material.
Don’t build a camp fire any larger
than is absolutely necessary.
Don’t leave a fire until you are sure
it is out; if necessary smother it with
earth or water.
Don’t burn brush or refuse in or near
the woods if there Is any chance that
the fire may spread beyond your con
trol, or that the wind may carry sparks
where they would start a new fire.
Don’t be any more careless with
fire in the woods than you are with
fire in your pwn home.
Don’t be idle when you discover a
fire in the woods; if you cannot put
it out yourself, get help. Where a for
est guard, ranger, or state fire warden
can be reached, call him up on the
nearest telephone you can find.
Don’t forget that human thoughtless
ness and negligence are the causes of
more than half of the forest fires in
this country, and that the smallest
spark may start a conflagration that
will result in loss of life and destruc
tion of timber and young growth valu
able not only for lumber but for their
influence in helping to prevent flood,
erosion and drought.
The association points out that the J
old ounce of prevention still beats the
pound of cure in the forests, now being
fast depleted. ■,

NORWEGIAN LABOR
PARTY THROWS IN
WITH BOLSHEVIKI
CHISTIANIA, June 20 (by Associa
ted Press).—The Norwegian labor
party, controlled by the Bolshevjk fac
tion, has refused to participate In the
socialist conference at Amsterdam.
The Norwegian Ceneral Labor Com
mittee refuse to participate in the re
construction of the Internationale as
planned at the Berne conference, but
has decided to cooperate with the left
wing of the Swiss Socialists, with
German Spartacists, with Russian Bol
shevik! and the Hungarian commun
ists. The committee thereby refuses
to connect with labor In western Eur
open and openly sides with Bolshevism
and revolutionary methods with ter
roristic action against the bourgeoisie.
On the outpost at Ruidosa, miles
from the nearest habitation, 90 per
cent of Troop M, Eighth cavalry, re
enlisted. Troop I was a close second
with 28 reenlistments. Colonel Lang
horne considers the showing of his re
cruiting campaign all the more re
markable from the fact that the dis
trict command has been stationed in
the Big Bend distriot, away from a
large city, almost two years. This, he
says, explains the eagerness for reen
listment on the part of the men. The
morale is higher and the spirit of
regimental loyalty more intense be
cause the men are thrown more to
gether in the wilds, and not distracted
from their inilitary duties by the at
tractions of a large city nearby and
come in closer and more personal con
duct with the officers commanding
them. This explains why the men voted
almost as a unit to remain in the
Big Bend rather than transfer to Fort
Bliss, Colonel Langhorne added.

STRAIGHT AND
NARROW PATH
FOR HUBBY
TAMPA, Fla., June 20 (by Associa
ted Press).—Five hundred Tamps
women have formed the Woman’s Pro
tectlve League and say they propose
to clean up organized vice by direci
action—that they propose to under
mine its support.
By the establishment of a sort ol
moral credit bureau this organization
proposes to furnish any woman a con
fidential report on the “double life”
of her husband if she wants one. The
inquirer does not even need to give
her own name in making the inquiry;
Bhe may designate a postoffice box ad
dress or any place where an agent of
the league may deposit the report on
its investigation.
Organizers of the bureau say that
seventy of their number have pledged
to do the investigating work in the
open while the remainder will work in
secret.
“So many have such old reprobates
for husbands,” said one of the chiefs,
“they can’t work openly because these
husbands won’t let them. Therefore
they will work secretly.” The theory
of the league is that if a man has not
been walking the straight and narrow
path one of the five hundreds will
know about it—or at least can find out.
TEXAN TROOPS ARE
EAGER TO ENLIST
MARFA, Tex., June 20 (by Associa
ted Press).—Mexican border service is
attractive to young Americans who
like to ride, shoot and live in the
open. To prove that the lure of being
“riders of the purple sage” is strong
for his men, Colonel George T. Lang
horne, commanding the Big Bend dis
trict of Texas quotes figures to show
that 467 of his men had reenlisted
since the recruiting order was issued
in an effort to retain border veterans
in the cavalry service. During the
first month the recruiting order was
in effect 350 men reenlisted and the
total enlistments for a second or third
tour of duty in the Big Bend are more
than 18 per cent of the total strength
of the border troops In this district?
