Chelan County Gets $3.50 from tht
Forest Fund

The forest reserve fund paid in by
the federal government has been d.
vided By John G. Lewis, state treas
urer, among the various counties Of the
state entitled to receive it. This
money, amounting to $3l,8o5, is
Washington's 25 per cent Of the value
Of the timber removed from the forest
reserves of the state, and is distributed
among the twenty-five counties which
have forest reserves included within
their borders. Snohomish county gets
the largest sum or $6,747.33, while
Thurston county receives only $2.08,
or the smallest amount. To Chelan
county $1,81o.s9 was paid for timber

Reading Room Not Connected With
Library

For the benefit Of those who cannot
see why.the reading room should be
supported in addition to the library. we
submit the following: The library is
in the control Of committee Of ladies
who give all their time free and all
subscriptions 60 toward new books,
except for occasional extra expense.
The reading room is supported BY a
few citizens who see the need Of such
place. To open the reading room
evenings requires twelve dollars every
month for light and heat. A few pay
ing a dollar or fifty cents meet this
expense, but not all pay regularly ev-
cry month. We need several more
who will give little. Telephone me
and I will call each month for your
subscription. Max A. Jeffords.

Providing FOR Old Age

Before the eyes Of the average man
there is but one bugbear-old age. In
these days when specialization is in
evitable the spectre OF penniless de-
clining years is more to be feared than
formerly by the jacks Of all trades.
To the case in point is Information i'm
parted to a Chicago college class by
Superintendent Graves, of the King
Home for old men.
Only one man in 10000" is self
supporting at seventy. In the United
States there are now 1,125,0 900 former
wage-earners sixty-fve and more, de-

over, there are 100000 old men and
women in homes whose upkeep cost

Association rIaas Good Roads

The Washington State Good Roads
Association held its annual session last
week in Tacoma, and was harmonious
in its efforts to formulate statewide
plan for building permanent highways
throughout the state. The plan, when
finally completed, will be recon-
mended to the State Legislature, and
the various sections of the state left to
make their individual fights for their
respective Improvements. The pro-
posed Pacific highway across the State

Varsity Curriculum Has New Depart
ment

The new bureau of municipal and
Legislative research announced early
in the summer by the University Ex-
tension Division OF the University oil
Washington as project, becomes a
fact with the arrival at the university Of
DR.. Herman Brauer, who has been
appointed to take charge Of this bu-
reau. Director Edwin A. Start Of the
extension division regards this as one
of its most important activities, offer
ing one Of its greatest opportunities
for public usefulness.
The work of the bureau will involve
the collection and digesting Of com
parative data in regard to municipal
problems and matters Of legislation.
The bureau will serve as a strictly non
partisan source Of information on sub
jects Of legislation and administration,
both in other states of the Union and
and in foreign countries. This infor-
formation will be placed at the service
of the state of Washington. The OBJ
ject is to enable Legislators, municipal
officials and others in places of re-
sponsibility to profit by the experience
Of other states and to do this with the
least possible waste Of individual time
and labor.
The comparative study Of statute
law and Of municipal administration is
increasingly necessary on account Of
the completely Of modern measures
and activities. This requires the &C.
emulation Of special material from
various sources all over the world-ma-
terial not easily accessible to every
one. To bring it together and make
it available requires trained workers
and special organization. This the
new bureau Of the extension division
aims to furnish.
DR.. Brauer, the chief of the bureau,
is a trained student Of law, politics,
and economics, linguist, Librarian
and man OF experience in business
and politics. His whole training and
experience" says Director Start,
seem to qualify him peculiarly to do
valuable service for the university and
the state"

MAY USE WIRELESS
TOFIGHT FOREST fires
New Scheme will be Tried Out and
Likely Adopted if Successful

Presenting the use Of the wireless
telegraph in forest fire fighting in a
convincing manner 200 delegates to
the annual convention Of the Western
Forestry and Conservation association
at Seattle last week changed from
open skepticism to state OF mind in
which they voted to arrange trial ex-
pertinent with the apparatus. Assist
ant Manager Herrick Of the Marconi
company Of America, speaking for his
chief, Manager R. H. Sawler, has en-
tered an opening wedge for the use of
apparatus that will undoubtedly be the
common method OF communication
within 10 years, according to E. F. c.
Van Dissel aod T. ]. Humbird, who at
tended the convention.
"As near as I could gather it, his
idea," said Mr.. Humbird, was to sta
ton special apparatus at stated
places along the trail Of the foresters.
Using this apparatus and stringing his
emergency aerials between any two
convenient high trees the man on the
trail could within a short time place
himself in communication with the
chief operator at the central forest
station.
TT was also stated that a light,
portable apparatus, consisting OF a
small gasoline engine, generator and
coils and so forth had been prepared
which could be carried on animals with
any fire-fghting squad. I understand
that the company has perfected the
apparatus so that climatic or fire con-
ditions would not prevent transmits
sion of the electric waves. Mr.. Her
rick further stated that by equipping
the trailmen with wire and a little
other small and light apparatus each
trailman could arrange aerials to re-
ceive communications, though unable
to send them.
"Of course, this has not as yet been
tried out by US, and we have only the
statement of the Marconi people, but
they seem confident of making the ex-
pertinent success"

Private Corporations Must Obey Public
Service Commission

The decision Of the King county
superior court, holding that the public
service commission Of the state is the
only body vested with Jurisdiction
over public service corporations. and
municipalities are without authority in
that respect, is significant. This was
case of the city of Seattle against an
electric company in an effort to COM
pei certain action which it declined to
take. 1t now is for the commission to
prescribe the remedies which shall be
made. The most frequent complain
ants before the commission are the
municipal officers of cities and towns
who find themselves without the abil-
ity to compel an obedience Of the
regulations they prescribe and which
the corporations often decline TO heed.
1t is generally conceded, however,
that the vesting of jurisdiction in the
state tribunal is best, not only because
it is easier to secure compliance with
its orders upon public service corpora
tons, but because it has the expert
knowledge and machinery to handle
such matters cheaply and with the
best results.

Acre of Corn win Make 700 Pounds Of
Pork

Great interest is being manifested
among the farmers throughout the
State in the recent announcement
made by c. L. Smith, agriculturist of
the Oregon-Washington Railroad &
Navigation Company, to the effect
that a series of corn shows are to be
held by this company next December
for the purpose Of stimulating greater
interest in the growing Of corn in the
Northwest and to further demonstrate
the possibilities and profitable nature
Of this crop. One of these shows will
be held in eastern Washington, and
possibly another one in the western
part of the State. The O.-W. will give
several hundred dollars in prizes. Mr..
Smith while in Seattle the other day
said. THE object Of the company in
arranging for these corn contests is to
encourage the Investigation OF farm
ing and improved methods Of feeding
live stock. The corn plant produces
the largest measure of feed per acre
the labor expended Of any crop, ex-
cept alfalfa under irrigation, and it has
been demonstrated that one acre OF
corn will make from 500 to 700 pounds
of pork" The company will furnish
seed to the farmers who intend to par
ticipate.

Beauty Questions Answer

it necessary to first use cold cream

Peroxide of hydrogen is a general
bleach. Since It's action Is rather
harsh I would not advise it's use
oftener than onos a day, 1t should
be applied IN the proportions Of one

1t should use the cold cream after

skin. Let me warn you to not con-
tinue the experiments longer than
a few weeks, lest the texture Of
your skin be injured. A few drops
of lemon or of ammonia in the wa
ter in which you battle your face
will also whiten the skin. These
are also severe agents.
