Y Z 7 ORKING along the line

Y v ton against fire, with
minimum of expendi-
tu-e, the forest service has decided
to establish on the most advantageous
points Of the national forests in the
west a series of lookout stations from
which news Of the breaking out OF
forest fires can be telephoned to for.
est officials
Since all of these stations will COM
mand a view of the country for miles
around, the work of detecting and ex-
tinguishing fires In their incipiency
will. by this plan, be greatly expe-
dited. with the result that many thou
sands of dollars worth of valuable
timber will be saved annually.
In most of the national forest states
the climate is very dry, and the rain
fall light. Conditions, therefore, are
remarkably favorable for the spread
of fire and extraordinary diligence is
necessary in patroling dangerous
areas. To administer the vast area
included in the national forests. ap-
proximately 195,OO0,000 acres, the
government has about 1,400 men In
the field If each man could be used
for fire patrol, he would have to
cover approximately $4,000 acres.
AS q matter of fact, however, the VOL
ume of business on the national for
ests has grown to such proportions
that less than twenty-five per cent. of
the force is valuable. This makes it
necessary to spread an average mans
service over nearly four times $4,000
acres, decreasing fire protection far
below the point of safety in many
cases.
In the face of this, however, fire
losses on the national forests are kept
at point where they are trivial when
compared with the damage which
would be caused were the lands con-
tanned in the national forests unpro-
tected
A lookout station has been estab.
lished on Shuteye peak in the high
Sierras, for the purpose of watching
for any fires which might occur in the
mountains. This peak has an eleva-
ton of S,S5S feet and the observer
commands a view of large portion of
Tuolumne, MADEIRA and Fresno coun-
ties, in California.

the mountain and telephone in.
stalled, connects with the forest SUI
pervisor's office in the valley and the
various ranger stations on the ST.
ezra forest The observer is equipped
with powerful field glasses and when
a fire is discovered news is instantly
telephoned to the nearest ranger.
During the short time the station
has been maintained its usefulness has
twice been demonstrated by the dis
covery of fires in remote localities.
These were readily extinguished be-
fore they could gain dangerous head
way, thus saving valuable timber and
forage which might otherwise have
been devastated had not the fires been
discovered in their incipiency.

A Postcard Hunt,

- TOSl'NdTo
Most children are ardent post card
collectors, so this party will appeal
to them. There should be enough
cards to permit of each guest having
three or fovr yhen the final distribu-
ton takes place. Use ordinary cards,
inexpensive, with few colored ones
and a half dozen with Christmas
symbols. Hide them throughout the
rooms, explaining that uncolored
cards score one colored ones count
two points, and Christmas cards score
three. Allow ten minutes for the
hunt, then blow a whistle, which
means that all turn in their cards to
have the score made up. The Christ
mas cards 60 to the winners, and the
remaining cards are divided equally
between the guests, after reading of
the scores.

To make the department especially
helpful, Nine. Merri viii give the de-
partment to-day entirely up to ideas
for the approaching Christmas sea-
son. The daily papers for some time
have been warning us to make our
purchases early, but there are always
some who by force of circumstances
or habit are late. For some weeks
past every available suggestion for
the holidays has been jotted down,
hoping that every reader would in
this way be able to find something for
her own special need. Many of these
are merely hints upon which to en-

Ring out the narrowing lust of gold:
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
