FOREST FIRES BY MOTORISTS.

m LIGHTED match carelessly thrown by a smoker from an
n automobile while travelling through the woodlands of New
Jersey is likely to cause a serious forest fire. Destructive
dres that have occurred in the forests of this State are attributed
to that cause. A lighted match dropping into some dry brush by
the roadside may be the means of starting a confagration to des
troy thousands OF acres of forest, wipe out the homes of farmers
and villagers and cause serious loss of life. State Forester Gaskill
has called the attention Of State Motor Vehicle Commissioner Smith
10 this danger and he declares that many of the forest fires in this
State are due to motorists. Prompted by this warning the State
commissioner has issued a statement in which counsel is given to
motorists when travelling through wooded regions of the State to
extinguish matches before throwing them out on the road. This is
timely counsel and notices to the same effect should be put up
conspicueusly in all places where motorists most do congregate.

united state. ard Mexico,

To the Editor of the Evening star;
The American people are to be con-
graduated because. with the latest
move in regard to Mexico, they have
shown ono more that their ruling mo-
tive for action as a nation Is that an
selfish love for human freedom and
Justice which so strikingly character
ICES their history. as contrasted with
that OF other people.
Mexico, of course, as a near and
weak neighbor, knows better than any
other this altruistic trait of her elder
sister nation, for even If her memory
were exceedingly poor, a mere glance
at Texas, California, New Mexico. Ari-
zonia and other States on the map of
the great Union would be enough to
remind her of friendly, unsolicited as
sistance given her on more than one
occasion by her neighbor in a truly
Christian spirit. But were she to be
SO u~ngrateful as to even refuse to re-
fresh her memory. there are more re-
cent recipients of similar favors. like
Colombia or Nicaragua, who may help
her to recollect things.
The friendly given by the
American government about the mo-
tives for sending part Of the army to
the Mexican frontiers are, therefore
quite unnecessary. No one who knows
that the inspiring spirits behind the
diplomacy of Mr.. Knox are men of
such lofty and pure ideals as ]. P
Morgan and other missionary workers
of Wall Street can doubt for a momep,
the sincerity of purpose and the altru-
istic aim of such a policy.

pnLYnnRE QUESTION BOX.

Question: palmist told me some
time ago that I could not live long
He said my life line in both hands
came to an abrupt end halfway down
The length which hat line usually
has. / have been worrying ever since.
Do you believe he was right?
Answer-No palmist can foreteli the
time Of death. The n who predicted
q short life for you simply a
you have short life lines committed a
double blunder. First, by interpreting
the short lines as tantanount to a short
life, which 10 not their real signiica-
ton; and, secondly, by being 80 U
ly tactless as to tell one who IL con-
stitutionaily nervous something so un-
avoidably calculated to all him with
dread and alarm.
A short life line signiiee that from
the point where II ceases there 10 dan
ger that muscular energy will give way
to ervous energy. This, Of course,
implies great delicacy OF health. But
as 1t is merely a 1t can. PET
haps, like any other menace, be avoid
ed by wise and timely precautions.
Question: Out OF idle curiosity ]
wrote a query on palmistry to you in
the Evening STAR recently n the
answer so interested me ! have de.
cided to attempt another.
At the left of the life line on my
right hand there Is a congioneration
of lines which form numberless crosses.
A friend of mime declares they indi-
cate an abundance OF trouble. Is he
right? Thanking you, BUMPS.
Answer: Crosses signify troubis
wherever they are located In the hand,
the kind Of trouble being determined
by the place yhe crosses happen to oc-
cupy. In your case they signify OBJ
stacles in matters OF the heart, or. per-
haps, In musical ambition. Fol the
Mount of Venus, as that part OF the
hand Is called, on which you say the
crosses appear, stands for both melody
and sympathy or affection.
You may ask, rs not what you say
the sheerest fortune-telling? How can
a cross In the hand foretell the future7'',
The cross does not 'foretelL." II
merely tells" And what 1t tells Is
that there is in your makeup sone
element which ID negative or destruc-
tive of the good qualities indicated hy
the part Of the hand / a which TIA
cross is found.
The value " these detrimental signs
is that they enable one TO recognise the
shortcomings which threaten either
health or career and to apply betinss
some remedy to head them of.

THE CLOSED DOOR AT TRENTON.

MI UGH has been said in advocacy of publicity in public affairs.
AVN The subject has been the burden of public addresses by
the Governor. Publicity was one of his panaceas for the
public ills. But there has been a curious lack of publicity since the
legislative session began. The latchstring which hung out at the
executive chambers in previous administrations was removed before
the session began, and these chambers have witnessed numerous
conferences on public matters behind closed doors.

Wood spoke about the matter and stated that he considered the proposition as a desirable one. though there were certain features that would re- quire investigation before final ac- ton The idea is to have several feet outside of the curb planted t0 Bermuda grass This will serve two purposes that are desirable. one the elimination of the dust surface of the streets and the saving of thc expense of keeping up the grade by narrowing the streets to be used by vehicles.

 The fact that the features were not disc0lored may be accounted for ly the fact that inc man had nor been dead long when the body was discovered As for the fact that the mouth was closed, this is accounted for by the fact that the cold was at tached to the neck in such way that the lower maxilary was drawn up.
