CARELEssNEss ABOUT FIRES

"One popularity in relation to forest
fires cannot have escaped notice" says
the Tacoma Ledger. at Is that such
fires are set as carelessly as a man
lights a cigarette. When they are small
nobody pays the slightest attention to
them. There is Il certainty that they
are potent with the element of possible
destruction, and yet they are allowed
to smolder or blaze according to the
humor of them. a passer-by might
stamp one out under his heel. He
never takes the trouble. \ spadeful of
sand would smother the incipient con-
Migration. Don't think for minute
that anybody Will spend the effort re-
CURED to scratch up the sand. For
hours or for days the embers glow and
the line of fire creep3 towards the heart
of the woods.
"There comes time when the smol-
dering Goals are famed by a breeze.
The burst of flame is whipped gaily
along, spreading as it goes. The air
becomes dark with smoke. The night
CLEANS with disaster. Valuable prop
erty is destroyed. Tall trees become
torches, the foliage disappearing in Il
flash and the SCARED and blackened
trunks remaining. Perhaps there are
houses in the way. The forest fire
makes no distinction. Give it a start
and 1t will lick up homes as readily as
it will destroy the dried underbrush.
After much damage has been done,
people are aroused to the necessity of
putting out the once little fire. They
try it and fail. The end comes when
the fuel Is exhausted, the wind has
died down or kind heaven sends a
shower.
"This is the old story. 1t recalls and
accentuates the exclamation: What
fools these mortals be! ~
