ARE AID IN SAVING FORESTS
Pupils BY Reading and Distributing
States Circulars Do Good Work
In Preserving Woods.

Harrisburg, Pa.-As a result of the
distribution of forest fire circulars by
the Pennsylvania Conservation asso-
citation and other bodies engaged in
the good work, together with a more
favorable season, there have been
fewer forest fires up to date In this
state during the present year than
have ever been known for the same
period.
Early in April the organizations in
the state interested in conservation,
with the assistance Of the state de-
partments of education and forestry,
began the distribution Of 100000
circulars relating to the prevention
of forest fires. The distribution was
principally through the public school
system of the state, although the state
forestry department, heads of the
parochial schools, the Boy Scouts and
other public service associations as
sisted materially in the distribution,
On account of the rural school closing
early in the spring only 100000 OF the
circulars were distributed; but the
remaining 100000 will be distributed
to the rural schools when they open in
the fall, and children may read how
to help prevent the fall fires.
The forest fire circular has brought
home to the children, their parents
and teachers an important lesson in
such a way that general interest has
been aroused all over the state for
the preservation of the forests from
destruction by fires. 1t is estimated
that many thousands of dollars have
besA saved to the state this spring
as 4 result of this campaign.

LONG AERoPLANE FLIGHT
Three British BIrdmen May Attempt
to Make Record Trip Of
$500 Miles.

London.-From London to India by
air is the daring scheme which 1t is
proposed to carry out this year. An
advisory council has been formed in
London for the purpose Of making the
necessary preliminary arrangements,

British aviators will participate in the
attempt, which will be made about
next September. THE feat" said Mr..
Esdaile, 'is not as impossible as It
appears, and say with confidence
that the flight will be accomplished
this year.
We are already negotiating with
several British aviators, and our plans
are already we'll advanced. The route
Is fairly clear as far as Vienna, and
after that the aviators will follow the
course OF the Danube, as far as Nike
poll, and go over the Shinka Pass to
Adrianople.
From Constantinople the Abatolis
railway will be followed to Bozanti.

the coast Of the Persian Gulf OF Bunda

LABOR UNIONS EXEMPT
LaFolIette says They Were Never In
tended to Come Under sherman Law.

Cincinnati, O., Jan. l-Senator La
Toilette invaded President Taft's home
city Saturday night.
At Music hall here the Wisconsin
man attacked the judicial construction
which brought labor unions under the
restriction of the Sherman antitrust
law
1T is strange he said. that when
the court goes to its furthest limit IN
imposing penalties on combinations of
capital all of the capital owners get
away with the full value of their prop
erty but when the court goes to the
same limit in enforcing penalties on
combinations of labor it takes away the
homes and small savings of the guilty
ones.
.'The fact is that the law was not
understood by the people to apply to
labor organizations. and it is a mis-
taken judicial construction that has
made it so apply. The law should be
amended by taking out from under its
operation all labor organizations and
all employees associations.

laws against restraint of trade, there

1.-The greatest menace to competition
at the present time he said, sis the
control of credit and the concentration
of money in the hands Of those who
control the trusts. Elasticity in our
currency is imperative, but any plan to
secure it, like that Of the proposed ma
tional reserve association, which puts
control in the hands of the banks and
the money interests. will strengthen the
power of the trusts to get capital and
keep competitors from getting it
1T will be the peoples nios1ey that
