NEWS FOR WHEELMEN.

"A Popular Plan Of Local Organization
Memorial Day Races in Connecti-
cut.
The strongest argument advanced in
favor OF local organization by the
League Of American Wheelmen is the
increase Of individual interest it ex-
cites among members. This plan of
organization, which originated in New
York state, has been extended to sew
era1 state divisions with marked sue
cess, and is briefly summarized as fol-
lows: Any two or more members of
the T.. A. W. residing in a town or COM
munity may organize what is known as
local consulate, obtaining from the
state board of officers a charter for so
doing. The consulate thus formed may
elect it's own officers, instead of hav-
ing them appointed by the chief con-
sui, and adopt a constitution in har-
mony with the national and state
bodies, the same being subject to re-
vocation by the parent organization.
The chief difficulty in recruiting
members for the league and in carry
ing out the objects for which it is
formed, has been the splendid isola-
ton Of the average member, who, al
though there may be a dozen of his
fellows in the community in which he
resides, they remain as far as practi-
cal purposes are concerned, unknown
to him. The local organization plan
gives the league member the opportun-
ity Of having a voice in the affairs of
the organization and makes him feel
that he Is a component part of it. In
stead of the appointment of a local
consul for his vicinity who may not be
satisfactory, the opportunity is given
for the selection of such an official by
popular vote. Local regulations bene-
fitting cyclists and movements for
street and road Improvement can only
be effected by concerted effort, such as
are within the possibilities of the plan
above outlined. The Connecticut divi-
sion board Of officers has splendid op-
portunity in this state for putting the
plan into operation. 1t cannot fail to
be a popular movement and will double
the membership and the divisions in
f1uence within year.
The Connecticut state bicycle cir
cult will open at Danbury, on Me
mortal day, May 80, with the meet of
the Affair Cycle club, on the half mile
gramme Of six races has been arranged
which will include the half-mile anna
teur state championship. In the morn
ing the promoting club will hold a ten
mile handicap road race. Other race
meets in Connecticut on Memorial day
so far scheduled include the meet of

THE FORESTRY ASSOCIATION.

The Connecticut Forestry association
Is doing useful work, and should be en-
couraged every day. It's members I'M
derstand the economic folly of the COM
mon way of cutting off everything on
a piece of woodland, and leaving field
from which the soil washes away. This
soil is largely the result of the growth
and decay of former trees, a generation
after generation. 1t has taken centu-
ries to prepare it, and it is lost in few
years.
The Forestry association tries to in
troduce intelligent treatment of wood
land, both in cutting to advantage af-
ter proper selection, and in saving the
soil. Another result of intelligent for
estry is to provide a much more uni
form flow of streams, thus avoiding
great freshets, and providing more
flow of water in time of drouth. This
comes from the forest soil retaining
water for some time, so that it soaks
away by degrees while from the bare
slopes left from the usual method the
soil washes away, and then rain runs
from the surface in torrents. 1t is
gone almost as soon as it arrives. In
cidentally this affects the climate I'M
favorably.
For all these reasons, intelligent for
estry is a useful and economical thing,
both to owners of woodland and to the
state at large. In whatever it does to
make this understood, the association
benefits all citizens of Connecticut
Hartford Times.
