FOREST RANGER EXAMINATION.

Washington, August es.-An ex-
animation to fiji vacancies in the
Ranger force on l49 National Forests
in twenty-one states and territories,
including Alaska, will be held octo-
Der IS and GO. From this examine
ton it is expected that 500 appoint
ments will be made.
This examination will be held at
each Forest Supervisors headquarters
in the National Forest States and
Territories, including Arkansas, Min
nesota, Michigan and Florida, which
are the most easterly states having
National Forests.
While the examination is entirely
along practical lines, and knowledge
of field conditions rather than book
learning is considered essential, the
opportunities fer those applicants
with educational advantages are con-
siderederably increased. The rapid
development of the National Forests
is making continually increasing de-
mands upon those engaged in their
management, and men with ability
to assume responsibility and serve in
supervisory capacities are in demand.
These more responsible positions on
National Forests are filled by promo
ton from lower grades, so that any
one entering as ranger is eligible
for promotion to any of the more re-
sponsible and higher paid places, in
GLIDING that of Forest Supervisor.
Only those men who are at least
twenty-one years of age, not more
than forty, of good character, temp
crate, and in good physical condition
are eligible to take this examination.
The salary paid is 5000 year.
Applicants can secure information
concerning the examination from the
United States Civil Service Commits
sion, Washington, D. c.; District
Forestors at Missoula, Mont, Den
yer, Colo, Albuquerque, n. Mex,

GIRLS AND MUSICIANS

The late Paul Stanley, composer
OF 'Ta'ra-ra.boom-de-ay,' took no great
pride in that songs success" said a
San Francisco musician. ~He had
hoped to succeed as composer OF
grand opera.
When he lived here he often talked
WITH quaint kind OF melancholy about
The high ambitions OF his youth. and
now they had become humber as he
got older.
A mans ambitions dwindle,' he
once said. like a girls matrimonial
aims. At Is a girl wants a fairy
prince and nothing less. At 20 she
IS resigned to a millionaire duke.
AT 2s members OF congress is good
enough. At 80 a country minister will

THE SUMNER DAYS ARE RAPIDLY
PASSING.

With the pleasure season at its !
height, the passenger trains loaded
down with tourists bound for the
seaside or the mountain resorts or
homeward from these places and with
still Others contemplating vacation
journeys for the near future, there
has come, within the last few days
to many a struggling wayfarer the
thought that summer is on the wane.
Lastweek twas 6ercely hot, neither
morning nor evening Offering
relief from the oppressive tenn
perature and humidity which pre-
vailed. But this week We note a
difference. True, indeed, the sun
Of the afternoon is hot there are cool
breezes in the morning and at night
there is tendency to return to the
blanket, considered as useless for
weeks.
This changed temperature, with
-1he fact that August is more tn: n
half gone brings with force to reali-
zation that autumn is approaching.
Almost before the people realize it
1t will be mid-September, the time
when one must begin to consider the
purchase of winter clothing and de-
wise ways and means of meeting the
increased gas bills.
The schools will open then, too,
and the youngsters who have made
merry through the summer must re
turn their attention to the acquisi-
lion of learning, much to the disgust
Of the smaller boys and even of some
of the larger ones, not to mention
the girls.
However, it isn't fall yet and ere
the trees begin to change their green
for coats of many hues The wayfarer
may forget the impending time when
an overcoat must be purchased and
make the most of the hours which
may yet be spent happily in the
open.

The world wants peace, but it also
wants valor, urges the Baltimore
American. 1t believes in extolling
the exploits of the captains of SCI
ence, of art and of industry, but
these biographers do not give the
nourishment to the red corpuscles
that is derived from the life records
of the militant heroes. Most of the
great men upon the worlds battle
fields have been men who admired
and sought for peace. To most of
the great warriors the sword was
their last resort and a painful neces-
sity.
