phone lines wherever possible. The
apparatus and other material for the
government S telephone lines are being
furnished by the Western Electric
Company, the largest manufacturer Of
telephones in the world.
Clifford Pinchot, the ex-chief forest
er, sums up his opinion IN these
words:
If a forest is equipped with roads,
trails, telephone lines and a reason
able number Of men for patrol there
is no more likelihood that great fires
will be able to get started than there
is that great eonfagrations like the
Chicago fire will get started IN a city
with a modern fire department. =
The states Of New York, Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire and Maine
have their own systems Of protection
against forest fires, in all Of which the
telephone plays an important part.
This is not the only case in which the
telephone figures as safeguarding

The Telephone and Forest Fires

Every year seems to bring up forci-
bly, the need for more extensive sys-
TENS Of protection against fire in the
national forests Of the far west and
northwest. The disasters of this
season point to the fact that more
safeguards must be thrown about the
wooded areas of the country if a repe-
tition Of the recent fires is to be
avoided
For it is fact that years fires
burn away more Of the precious wood
lands than would be taken to supply
the timber needs Of the country for
quite a fe17 years. Added to this, and
even more urgent as reason for ac-
tion, is the enormous loss Of life and
property involved ia fire like that of
this year.
In some cases 10 the national Tor
ests, according to Chief Forester
Henry G. Graves, a single ranger has
the responsibility Of looking after
more than 100, 900 acres during the dry
season. Ia the forests Of Germany
one guard IS kept for every 100 acres,
in one case even as few as 750 acres.
The national forests Of the United
States now include almost 200, 900, 900
acres Of land, and to look after these a
force Of 8, 900 men is employed This
is recognized to be totally inadequate
for the heavy demands, and each dry
spell brings its quota Of disastrous

Tres to bear out this fact more strong

ly.
In the measures that have already
been taken to protect the forests from
fire, the telephone has played a very
important part. This part is des-
cribed in a recent Washington dispatch
to number of daily newspapers IN
der the heading Thousands of Dollars
Saved the Government by Telephone"
in the following words:
In protecting forest reserves of the
United States from fire the telephone
has become an instrument of saliva
ton, and there are many cases on
record in the forestry bureau where
this modern appliance has saved in
Vulnerable lives and many hundred
thousand dollars worth Of timber.
Experience has taught the officials in
charge Of the forestry bureau that it is
almost out OF the question to cope with
forest fires after they have been fully
started. When they get good start
and have favorable conditions, such as
a brisk breeze and dry weather, the
flames sweep through the forest and
over the surrounding country without
meeting any great resistance There
fore the officials Of the bureau have
determined that the only possible way
to control these fires is to prevent them
that is, attack the fire at it's incep-
tion.
It IS at this point where the tele-
phone gets in its work and has demon
strated itself as an important factor
and as machine Of salvation. AS
means of preventing fires and to dis
cover those which have not gained
any amount Of headWay, thousands Of
men have been employed annually by
the government as rangers and patrol
men. They are assigned to districts
which they are called on to patrol, but
the work Of this patrol system did not

Montpelier, Oct. 21.-Representa-

morning from Boston, where on
Monday he appeared before the Inter
state Commerce commission at a hear
ing called to consider the request Of
the railroads to shorten the demur-
rage rule from SO to As hours. Mr..
Babbitt appeared for the interests in
Vermont which would be affected by
a change in the rule In his testi-
mony Mr.. Babbitt cited Burlington
as a place without adequate switching
facilities, that with the absence of
room near the railroad tracks to build
large warehouses would make a short
ening of the time allowed for hand.
ling freight a serious burden to ship
pers.
Mr.. Babbitt figures that II would
cost the shippers of Vermont over
100000 a year in demurrage charges
II the rule was made two days instead
OF four In his own business he is
president of the Robinson Paper Co.,
of Bellows Falls Mr.. Babbitt told
the committee that he paid last year
$3.50 for demurrage and that If this
rule had been As hours he would have
had to have paid over $4,000
The Barre granite men, the Yer
mont Marble Co., the Estey Organ
Co, in fact all the large shippers OF
the state would be seriously handi-
capped by the proposed change in the
rule.

HEARING ON INCOME TAX
Much Interest Shown in Proposed
Constitutional Amendment

Montpelier, Oct. 2i-The commit
tee on federal relations gave a public
hearing Wednesday evening in the
Senate chambers on the proposed
change in the constitution of the Uni
ted States in regard to an income tax
the communication recently sent to
the House by the governor being pla-
ced in the hands of that committee
The very decided stand against the
proposed amendment taken by SEN
ator Carroll S. Page in his address
to the General Assembly had a ten
dency to call out a large number of
people to hear the matter discussed.
The committee itse'f is somewhat in
the dark in regard to the proposition
and gladly welcomed all suggestions.
Ex-Gov. John J.. Barstow of Shell
burne supports the proposition, quot
ing extensively from Senator John
Sherman, Senator Elihu Root and 9TH
ers, and argued if the proposed
amendment is defeated Vermont will
paw 40 per cent higher taxes than
will New York and other states The
amendment was also supported By
Senator John W. Gordon of Barre
who argued that the man who is able
to pay an income tax is the one who
is opposing this amendment No
poor man is against it, Massachu-
sets has had such an income tax law
on its statute books for 1877 years.
South Carolina for more than 100
years and Vermont had such tax
until 1850. The only opposition to
this amendment is that Of selfish
ness.
Senator Max L. Powell Of Burling-
ton also defended the proposed amend
ment. While at first he was oppos-
ed TO II he had been forced to see
that the proposition is fair and right.
The necessity of such tax would be
only Inc time of distress. Incomes of
$4,000 or less would be exempt and
those in Vermont who would be af-
fected are comparatively few We
can safely put this matter in the
hands OF the general government with
out fear that the privilege will be
abused The Vermont legislature
ought to vote in favor of this amend
ment. OF course New York state
does not want this amendment for
that is the state that will be hit the
hardest. It has more property that
escapes just taxation than has any
state in the union.
F. G. Rowland of Barre president
of the Barre National bank OF Barre
insisted that the federal government
now taxes state and municipal bonds
He stated that the bank he repres-
ents has paid such taxes under pro-
test and the matter has been taken
to the Supreme Court Of the United
States.

the fact that unconsciously, perhaps, it gives the reader a splendid impression of the people and customs of British Gui- nea, a country which to the majority of people is little more than a name. The Two Boys in the Tropics'' visited the island, which is supposed to have been the scene of Robinson Crusoe." They found it much larger than they ex- pected, for the captain of their little sailing bark said that it was 27 miles long and 12 broad.
 There are some interesting discussions regarding Defoe and Crusoe in this boys book. "One thing always present and impos- sible for any man living in the tropics to forget is the heat" MT. Francis, the boys father, said. land yet" he con- tinued, "Crusoe dresses himself in goat skins and poor Friday also." And where did he get the goat skins"
 MT. Francis ruthlessly continued. Goats are not vative to the West Indies.''
 Perhaps one of the most striking argu-
 ments raised against Defoe's accuracy Is
 that regarding Crusoe's use of sugar cane.
 "Defoe made a mistake,'' Mir. Francis
 said, 'in thinking sugar cane to be a
 native of the West Indies. It was in-
 troduced there from India in 1b20. Rob-
 inson could not have found it on an
 island that had never before been visited
 by a-white man"

Doing Away With Collection Plat.


 From the New York World.
 The abolition of the collection plate i the Methodist churches of Cook county Illinois. marks the application of moder financial methods to religious organiza tions. Hereafter the support of churc will not be lefe dependent on chance con tributions or the proceeds of ''socials and other money-raising expedients. l will be financed" by members of tn congregation through pledges of fund payable within fixed period A regula budget will be prepared, with appropris tions for the pastors salary, churcj maintenance, etc.
 The plan in It's general scope Is nod of course, new. The decline of the col lection plate has been due to reliance ol less variable sources of income. and has been retained partly for sentimetI hut also as a means of additiona, reven.( from strangers and members of the corj gregation not otherwise contributing.
 Yet its definite abandonment is a rad ical innovation. The offertory is as olI as the church. It was at first the mail medium of support through w1ich kiftl were made by the congregation to tfI clergy. It has inspired some of ti5 church's richest music In a day wlel the financial obligations even of churches are underwritten 1t has become largelI superhuous and gives way to the ne' order of things.

Vienna, October 22.-(Speoial.) )-The oldest woman in Vienna, .Katharina Lustig, has died at the age of 112. in the Jewish almshouse here. Until re- gently she had been living with her son, who Is now over 70 years old. The old woman was born in small Hungarian town on December 2. 179S, was the daughter of a tradesman, and the eighth of ten children. It would seem that longevity was the rule in Kathar- ina's family, for her maternal grand mother died at the age of 113, and her grandmother on her fathers side at no.
