AS a healer Of marital wounds and
as patcher-up Of broken homes, Judge
De Lacy, of the Juvenile Court, is be-
ginning to make a record in the Dis
trict. There is always a note Of real
interest in his admonition, and more
than once a husband and wife have
been brought together when otherwise
their lives would have been perma-
nently separated.
Judge De Lacy had his hands pretty
well filed with such cases yesterday
afternoon at the regular session OF
the court, and it appeared to those
in court that he must have heard every
kind OF tale of marital woe to have
been able to settle the questions that
came before him. One situation was
cleared as easily as the foregoing case,
and in each instance the court exer-
cised a special method Of his own, de-
signed, it seemed, for that particular
case.
That the heart of the court is
open to the conviction that a spark of
good remains in every prisoner brought
before him. and that he is more than
willing to give that person a chance
because Of it. were proved in the case
u IOoCpA NdAIoll' WHO Was III court
charged with failure to properly sup
port his wife and with having an undue
fondness for the demon Rum. Carroll
had told his side Of the case, but failed
to convince Judge De Lacy that he de-
served anything better than a work
house sentence
The court has little or no patience
with men who do not look after their
families in the proper way, and told
Carroll he could go to the workhouse
for six months during which his wife
would receive the benefits Of his labor.

PLAYGROUND FUND
TO BE SOLICITED
Board Approves Plan to Collect
Money From the
Pupils.

Emphatic denial of the charge in a
magazine that certain Washington
school buildings are Veritable death
traps was made today by Capt. James
F. oyster on behalf of the Board OF
Education.
The attention Of the board was called
to an article In the April number OF
Good Housekeeping, which, under the
caption OF Death Traps for the Chill
dren,' severely criticised the lack Of
exits in several schools, and asserted
that the Easements were in such con-
dition as 10 menace health. The schools
referred to were the Potomac, Mott,
Thompson, and Gage.
THAT kind Of criticism" said Captain
Oyster, 'is of no account. It is ancient
history. If those accusations were made
two years ago it might have been diff
ferent. but at present needed repairs
and new buildings are going forward
finely.
Faults All Remedied.
lat the Potomac School the exit has
been fixed; at the Mott School we will
have a new building ready for occu-
pancy next month; at the Thompson
we use only the first floor and have
made that safe; while the Gage has al
ready been repaired
Captain Oysters statement was heart
Fly concurred in by the other members
OF the board.
The board yesterday approved a plan
submitted by Mrs Ellen Spencer Mus
sey to raise money to carly on the
Fairgrounds by distributing envelopes
among the various schools and inviting
subscriptions from the pupils. Mrs.
Mussey, who is chairman of the com
mittee on Fairgrounds and special
schools, explained that 1t would take
5000 10 pay the teachers who super
viSed the playground work. This money
the board did not have available, so II
was decided to raise il by voluntary
subscriptions.
Seek New Sites
Captain oyster Informed the board
that the committee On building sites was
now inspecting desirable places tor the
proposed new school buildings and max
ing inquiries relative 10 the cost Of
various sites. He also read a communi-
cation from Assistant Engineer Commits
sioner Kelly, who wrote that everything
would be done 10 make the schools sat

On the recommendation Of the military
committee, the board accepted the resIg-

part of the executive force of the
Forest Service from Washington into
the field, and the division OF the
western country into six forest dis
tricts. each in charge of a district
forester, the practical management
of Uncle Sans forests on a business
basis is being pushed forward even
more effectively than heretofore.
only the general administrative heads
of the service and the engaged in
government forestry work in the east
ern part of the country retain their
headquarters in Washington.
For the better administration of
the 1874 ,500,OOO acres of national for
est land, this vast territory is di
vided into 149 national forests, each
in charge of a forest supervisor. In
all cases, the supervisor is selected
for his wide practical knowledge of
the west, and of numbering and graz
ing particularly. He may or may not
be trained forester. If not train
ed forester himself, he has such
man to assist him. 1t is the BUSH
ness of the forest supervisor and his
technical aids to bring their forest
u d Vi llldN
porductiveness. To do this requires
great deal of detailed study and
skillful planning. Each step. from
the care and protection of the young
growth to the numbering of the ma
ture forest must be carefully con-
sidered and as carefully executed if
the forest is to go on producing
trees indefinitely.
For each of the many lines of work
to be carried on in the forest, men
with special experience are required.
Those who prepare and tend the
nurseries must be experienced in
raising and caring for young trees.
The lumbermen, who cruises and es
Inmates timber, helps to plan logging
operations, and see that the scaling
is correctly done and that the rules
for logging are properly observed,
must be a inexperienced and capable
woodsman. The forest ranger patrols
his district of the forest to see that
fire and trespass are prevented, that
the range is not overgraZed, that
logging regulations are enforced, and
that the privileges granted by per-
NIT for the use of the various forest
resources are not dDuStu, lie diSO
must be hard-headed, practical and
thoroughly honest, an able-bodied cit
izen of the west, with plenty of ex-
perience in all the problems with
which he may have to deal. The
trained foresters are usually forest
school graduates. Their training is
somewhat parallel to that of the civil
engineer, but particular attention is
paid to the study of botany, to the
life and growth of forests, and to
all that affects their development and
usefulness. In addition to his scien-
tific training, the American trained
forester must have abundant prac-
teal experience in the woods, on
the range. and in the mills, for he
must have a thorough understanding
of all conditions before attempting to
work out a system of good business
management of any forest.

checking the growth of poisonous
plants which are Injurious to i've
stock
The office of silviculture makes a
special study of the management of
timbered lands in order to make them
yield the largest permanent returns.
1t makes timber sales on the national
forests, plants trees on bare national
forest land. makes estimates and for
est working plans, investigates for
est conditions and all problems con-
nected with the life and growth of
trees. and gives advice where possi-
BILE to private parties who are inter
ested in similar lines of work.
The work of the office of products
is the determination of all ways and
means possible for utilizing wood and
timber, in order to make the business
of forestry both economical and
profitable. Markets and wood-using
industries everywhere are being in
vestigated, statistics of forest pro-
ducts are being collected, and the
comparative strength of building tim
bers with reference to their use for
various purposes is being determined
by accurate scientific tests. The Of
flee of products also makes a study
of the best ways of preserving tim
bers, and co-operates with private
telephone companies, railroads and
other timber using interests in de-
termining the best methods applica-
BILE in each case. Experimental treat
ing plants for this purpose are being
established throughout the country.
In short. the forest service is en-
deavoring to bring about the prac-
tice of true forestry-'the preserva
ton of forests by wise men" And
the keynote of the entire service, the
watchword of each member. from the
chief down to the forest guard, is
conservatiOn-the devotion of every
resource to the best possible use, and
the preservation of all renewable re-
sources for the use of future genera
tions.

For the general administration of
the national forests. the western half
of the United States is divided into
six districts with headquarters at
Missoula, Montana; Denver, Colo
RADIO; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Og
den, Utah: San Francisco, California,
and Portland. Oregon.
The object of the forest service is
TO foster proper use of the forest re-
sources of the country. including pri-
vate and state, as well as national
forests. Upon the latter every re-
source is for use in the best inter-
ests of all citizens of the United
States. Every water power site,
every piece of mineral land, every
bit of grazing land or of good agTi-
cultural alnd is for use, provided it
is not required for public purposes.
The remainder of the land which is

the room has occupied the building

ANXIOUS INQUIRY
OF NON RESIDENTS
REGARDING THE REcouRsES OF
THIS SECTION
They Are Specific in Their Questions
and Want to Know Many Things

Daily letters are received here from
all sections of the United States
making inquiry about Tempe and the
Salt River valley. Within recent
months this section of the country
has received a great deal of adver-
tisement through the medium Of va
rious publications and through the
pamphlets circulated by the boards
of trade of the different towns. That
all of this is beginning to be felt is
indicated by the numerous inquiries.
The people writing do not always
want general information but are
specific in their inquiries. The fol-
lowing letter is only one of the many
received:
Tempe Board of Trade,
Tempe Arizona:
Gentlemen-Wil you please send
me literature concerning your town,
price of lands, etc. Can oranges be
successfully grown at Tempe? Is
there much allxal in the soil and
what kind of drinking water; good
and free from alkali?
What will be the chance for
man with a working capital OF
$4,000? and what chance fO- Il
young man without capital. Is the
climate good for people suffering
from rheumatism? What are the
railroad facilities for transporting
crops to market? If oranges can be
successfully grown, can YOU compete
with California in putting fruit on
the market. Please send me any lit
erature you may have on the subject.
Yours very truly
W. H. STRAHAM,
Riverside, Cal.
Mr. Straham was sent literature
and advised that Tempe offers excep-
tional opportunities for the man with
moderate capital, also that the city
water is the best in the country and
that Arizona oranges not only com
pete with the California crop but
are of a better quality and mature
earlies. His other questions were al
so answered.
