Fire Prevention Among Pines.

Pines protect themselves against for
est fires III a remarkable manner. For
four or FIVE years the stems of the
infant trees attain height of only
as many inches above the soil. Dur
ing this time their bark is extraordi-
narily thick. and that alone gives some
protection. But. in addition the long
needles spring up above the stem and
then bend on all sides in a green cas-
cade which falls to the ground in
circle about the Seeding. This green
barrier can with difficulty be made to
burn, while the shade that ii casts
prevents intiammable grass from grow
ing near the protected stem. The off.
GERS Of the forestry service at Wash

to this peculiar system of self protec-
ton which the pine seedlings have de-
veloped that the growth of evergreen
oaks In Florida has been restricted in
regions where fires have ragged. while
pine forests have taken their place.

As though it would, in sack-cloth,
thus repent
The sins that heavy on its conscience
lie.
Soft falls the rain, as though the
pent-up grief
OF one who DER a tender vigil
keeps,
Open wide the fiood-gates of His
heart and weeps,
And weeping finds therein sweet
relief.
Earth is penitent, with humble mein,
And all mankind and womankind
as well.
Pass sadly through the silent cita-
del!
OF sorrow, where Remorse stalks.
gaunt and lean.
And yet, though hearts be now no
longer light,
But heavy with their penitential
pain,
Ere long the pail shall lift nor yet
in vain
Be this brief passage through the
Vale Of night.
Though earth be sad, with ashen-hue
above,
While DER all seems some vague,
impending doom,
With thy souls eyes pierce through
the thick-set gloom
And there behold the light-God's
light Of love-

attorney for l.. r. CLAWS. attacked
Secretary Ballinger as an unsafe mar
to rely upon to carry forward the
broad policy of conservation
He referred to CLAWS as the Ideal
public servant" and to Clifford Pinchot
as "a man of character so high as to
De even above the suspicion of SELF
seeking"
He also vigorously defended the &C
ton of Stenographer Kerby in making
public confidential information of the
interior department bearing on the
preparation of the Lawler memOran-
dunn.
After dealing with the Cunningham
Alaska coal land claimants and their
agreement with the Morgan-Guggen-
heim syndicate. Mr. Brandeis said:
Under their potent influence Mr..
Ballinger forgot the rules of profess
sional ethics as he forgot the rules Of
the land department over which he
had presided and by which he was
barred for two years after his retire
ment from practicing before it,"
AS indicating Ballinger's 'irreso-
luteness." Brandeis recited how he had
acted under pressure in his various
steps in the Cunningham cases; yield
ing to claimants when in Seattle. and
later to CLAWS when he returned to
Washington, with the claimants 5000
miles away
Mr.. Brandeis spoke of Ballingers
appearance on the witness stand
with its extraordinary failures of
memory. misstatements and denials."
and quoted from the secretary's testi-
mony about the Lawler memorandum
to show that he attempted to conceal
the truth.
OF the dismissal of CLAWS, the attor
ney said the president had committed
to Lawler. IAN appointee and in effect
a subordinate of Ballinger. man who
had special grudge against CLAWS,
the drafting of the presidents opinion
on the whole matter"
Mr. Brandeis was followed by
George w. Pepper, counsel for Clifford
Pinchot. who made a bitter attack
on Mr.. Ballinger and defense of his
client.
Mr.. Vertrees. counsel for Mr.. Bal
linger. closed the arguments. He de-
voted himself chiefly to condemning
the newspapers for stirring up false
accusations against Mr. Ballinger.
