THIRTY MILLION
ANNUAL LOSSES
IN U.S. FORESTS
NEW LONDON, N. H. Sept. 6 (by
Associated Press).—Expenditures of
$1,000,000 a year for the protection of
American forests against the $30,000,
000 a year fire loss was advocated by
Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the
American Forestry Association in ad
dressing a conference of foresters,
timberland owners, paper pulp men
and lumbermen. He also urged a
$2,000,000 a year appropriation for the
acquisition of forest land by the gov
evnment for the purpose of growing
timber to replace “our rapidly disap
pearing supplies.’
Mr. Pack spoke before the meeting
of the Society for the Protection of
New Hampshire Forests..
“Our mature forests are not only
being wiped out by destructive con
flagrations as well as by numerous
small fires but these forest fires
also prevent the natural reforestation
of hundreds of thousands of acres of
cut over land,” he said. “Our direct
loss in timber by these fires is $30,
000,000 a year. Altogether there are
315,000,000 acres of state and privately
owned forest land in the protection of
which the government should operate.
At present half of this Vast area is
wholly unprotected and protection for
the other half is entirely inadequate.
Legislation authorizing the govern
ment to spend $1,000,000 annually in
co-operation with the states for fire
protection is immediately essential.
“There should be immediate com
pletion of the original program for the
protection of watersheds of (navigable
streams by spending $2,000,000 a year
in acquiring 1,00,00 Oacres in New
England, 5,000,000 acres in the South
ern Applachains and forest lands in
the principal forest regions.
“Speaking for the American Fores
try Association I can say without re
serve that the association is heartily
in favor of the prompt enactment of
legislation along these lines.”
WORKING TO RESTORE
OLD SPANISH MISSIONS
NOGALES, Sept. 6 (by Associated
Press).—Active work has started of
an international line of old missions,
extending from the state of Sonora
across the boundary in Mexico, up
through the Santa Cruz valley |Of
Arizona.
Tumacocori mission, which, it is be
lieved, was founded in 1680, is the
first to be restored. The Nogales
chamber of commerce and the feder
al government already have donated
funds for the work.
Mexican missions, across the bor
der, antidate the Tumacacori mission,
according to records here. The Span
ish padres of years ago, according to
Byron S. Cummings, dean of the Uni
versity of Arizona, were in Mexico
before they entered Arizona. The gov
ernment of Sonora, it is reported,
has named men to carry on the work
of restoration in Mexico.
When a man tells his wife that
some woman she has inquired about
was “all doled up,” he thinks he has
given as good a description of the
other woman’s clothes as anybody
would want.

CHANGE LAWS
ON EXPULSION
IN ARGENTINA
BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 6 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The Argentine Feder
ation of Labor, championed by Social
ist deputies, has just won a victory in
the lower house of congress by secur
ing the passage of a law which pre
vents the government from expelling
foreigners from the country without
a court hearing. The federation al
leged in a recent petition to congress
that the “residence law” which has a
provision for the deportation of unde
sirables, was being unjustly employed
by the federal police to expel from the
country laborers of foreign birth who
participated in strikes. They were ar
bitrarily judged by the police to be
anarchists, it was charged.
The “residence law” has now been
amended by the lower house to require
that expulsion can only de decreed by
a federal judge after trial of the per
son accused. It is generally expected
that the bill will also pass the senate.
A man will lose fifty dollars in a
poker game and never say a word,
but how he “wolfs” if his wife loses
her pocketbook with five dollars in it!
A genius is timid but people don’t
usually find out that he is a genius
untl after he is dead.
