ROOT MAY BE
CHIEF JUSTICE
New York Senator Is BEING
Considered by Taft for
the Place.
DEPENDS ON ELECTION

%ashington, Oct. 13.-No decision
has been reached by President Taft in
regard to the chief justice of the su-
preme court, but he is considering
United States Senator Elihu Root of
New York. Root is regarded by him at
this time with as much favor as any
other man.
There is good reason to believe that
Mr.. Root would accept the place if it
were offered him.
This was learned on excellent au-
thority. Senator Roots chances for
appointment will depend largely. how
ever, on the result of the coming cleo
ton in New York state. If a Repub-
lican legislature is elected the senator's
chances VIII be increased, FOR his a .
pointment under any other circum-
stances would mean the surrender of
his seat to the Democrats.
1t would mean, too, that New York
state would be represented in the sen
ate by two Democrats, Senator Chaun-
cey M. Depew's term expiring on
March 4 next. 1t is understood that
President Taft will wait until after the
November election before settling the
chief justiceship.
Senator Root called on the president
at Beverly a day or two ago, but, as
Mr.. Tafts friends here understand it,
nothing definite passed between them
about Senator Root taking a place on
the bench.

will ~extinguish over ten feet Of fire.
Loose loom is also very good,
but not so effective as sand. Heavy
soil which clods is difficult to ma
nipulate. Frequently sand or loose
loan can be dug up in spots, but it
is too stony to secure 1t all along
the line of fire. Fighters must then
supplement the use of sand or earth
with beating or other methods.
Where. on account of the accu-
mulated debris, the flames are inter-
mittently too severe for beating, wa
ter is used If available. Water
usually has to be brought from some
distance; it must therefore be used
very economically. The best way is
to deaden the flames by a little wa
ter, and then beat them out with
a gunny sack or other device.
When water must be brought
over mountain trails special water
sacks are used, which can be slung
on aNpack saddle.
Ground fires, burning In the
deep layer Of organic matter, are
exceedingly difficult to extinguish. II
the layer is deep, trenching Is the
only practical method of stopping
the progress of the fire. Such a
trench which has a width at the bot
tom of n foot, will enable the
fighters to stop an ordinary ground
fire, especially if the work can be
supplemented by the use of water or
sand at the trench.
Grown fires which burn through
the crowns of trees, are always ac-
companied by surface fires. Crown
fires stop when there are no longer
infiamable own through which
the fire will run or when there is
no longer any material on the
ground to carry the surface fire. An
ordinary crown fire will jump a wide
fire line, and many fires have been
known to cross wide rivers almost
without check. In the mountains,
a crown fire running up a slope is
almost impossible to check.
ION level ground 1t is possible to
stop crown fires by back firing,
when the conditions are such as to
make back firing possible, at all.
Thus In the pine forests Of the At
lantic coast crown fires are fire.
quently checked by back firing. The
back fire burns off the surface mate
rial and thus in itself acts as a check
to the crown fire.
IF 1t is found that a back fire Is
necessary, a favorable point is Sc
lected directly in front of the fire,
from which to set the new fire. This
must be, a point such as a road, fire.
line, stream or swamp. The leaves
are ignited at points five feet to a
rod apart for a distance not greater
than the estimated width of the
! head of the fire. These small fires
gradually meet and form a continue
Gus line, eating back against the
wind. The meeting of the two fires
stops at once the. head of the main
fire. 1t Is usually possible then to
attack the wings with the ordinary
methods of fighting.

THE FOREST FIRES.

washington, Oct. 13:-Wfth for
est fires causing greater destruction
than during any year in history, Pc
culiar interest attaches to a pamph-
let on that subject by Chief Henry
S. Graves, of the Forest Service. Mr..
Gravs axes UP the whole subject of
the causes and characteristics of the
fires and the best means of fighting
them.
City dwellers with their steam en-
gines and high power water supply
will find in the pamphlet a strong
contrast in the equipment maintain
ed and e employed in the great
forests Of the west.
Wherever dirt can be used he
says, 'men should. be provided with
l~ong-handled shoveis. II water is
available, buckets should be provid-
ed and, where possible, bucket
pumps, which throw a stream about
twenty feet. Under most conditions
1t Is desirable TO have martecks anu
iron rakes, and there should always
be axes to aid in clearing brush or
cutting through timebr or old tops.
These implements should be kept in
a convenient place for fighting fire.
Proper organization for this protec-
tion includes an adequate equipment
for the fre-fghting force.
"a very good plan is to have
coaches at convenient points on the
trails or at the lookout stations, con-
tanning ire-fghting tools. In some
cases in the mountain regions tools
are kept In a special pack outfit
ready to be thrown upon horses and
taken at once to the fire. Such spe-
cial outfits usually include shoyels,
collapsible pals, axes, mattacks,
ropes and in some cases fire extin-
guishers and a small quantity of
provisions"
AS to the methods of fighting fires
Graves says:
Small surface fires may often be
beaten out. This is possible when
the fire is burning chiefly in a dry
leaf litter or short grass. Where
there are tops or piles of dry brush,
or the fire is burning through thick
brush or underground, beating is
very difficult.
There are various devices for
beating. A blanket, coat, or riding
slicker is often used. A gunny sack
is one of the best implements for
beating, particularly II 1t can be wet
from time to time. A handful of
green brush serves also very well
for a. beating device. In beating out
a fire, one strikes the fire with a
sideways sweep, driving the flames
and material back upon the burned
ground. A direct stroke scatters the
fire.
"The best way to e~xtinguish ran
ming Tres is to throw sand upon the
flames. This method Is, of course,
practicable only when the soil is
fairly clean or rocks and loose
enough for ready digging, When
the fire is running In the open
woods, in pine needles, a single
shevelful of sand, properly thrown,

MAIDEN AUNTs RULE FAMILY
Peculiar Custom That Prevails Among
the People Who inhabit the
Banks islands.

In at least one portion Of the world
the paternal aunt Of family Of chill
drsn is of much consequence in the
scheme Of family organization. That
is in the Banks islands. a part Of the
Melanesian islands In the South seas
where the natives hold her Id unusual
esteem and give her an exalted posi-
tion.
Among the inhabitants Of the Banks
islands the fathers sister must never
be addressed BY her own name by
her nephew or niece, but by some spe'
cial title Of respect adopted by her.
A visitor to the islands tells Of an IN
stance in which a woman had been re-
duced to tears because this mark of
respect had been withheld The
mother might be spoken to strongly,
emphatically, with assurance; but q
man would never even take the initia-
tive in addressing his maternal aunt
but would always wait until he had
first been spoken to. It was her
function to choose the MANS wife, and
to a very considerable extent com
munity OF goods prevailed between
aunt and nephew.
In these islands there is also 2
unique method Of determining the par
entage of a child. 1t is determined
ceremonially BY the act Of payment K
the woman selected to look after th'
mother. This woman is selected By
the fathers sister. In the ordinary
course, the actual father pays th'
