A NEW FOREST POLICY

WASHINGTON, July 25.-To give
settlers and other local users a larger
voice in national forest administra.
ton, Secretary Of Agriculture Houston
has just promulgated a new regulation
which goes into effect at once, provid-
ing means by which the forest ser.
vice may systematically cooperate
with duly organized associations of
such users.
Any association whose members in.
clude a majority of the local residents
making use of the national forests may
get together and select a committee.
to meet with the local forest officers.
This committee will be recognized in
an advisory capacity in settling ques.
tons which may arise between the for
est service and the public in the use
of the forests.
The object Of this regulation is to
extend what may be called home par
ticipation in national forest manage
ment. 1t is recognized that the best
use Of the forests in the interest of the
general welfare means the promotion
Of local welfare, and that the forests
must be handled with careful consid.
Grafton for all local interests In
volved.
In other words. 1t is desired to pre-
vent any local feeling that a Western
user in contact with the national for
est administrative system is up against
q far-away bureau at Washington, rep
resented on the ground by forest Of
ficer who can do as he chooses and
against whose actions 1t is impossible
to make effective protest.

Keenan,, at the head of the 400 men of
the Eighth Pennsylvania cavalry rode
forth to meet the advancing 10000
men of the enemy. Each one of that
400 knew that his death sentence had
been pronounced and yet, when Keen
ans clear voice rang out with the
sharp command, GALAXY CHARGE" not
a man of them shrank They rode UNI
til there was none left TO ride. They
fought until there was none left to
fight. Four hundred heroes were
butchered on the altar of sacrifice-but
the army was saved.
And what is the heritage of all this
carnage and bloodshed? From the
Rhine to Moscow, from the Alps to Cal
abria, from the Pyrenees to Gibraltar,
century and half of warfare has
sowed the soil of Europe thick with
the skulls of Frenchmen. Kipling re-
minds us that England has seeded her
empire with the bones of her sons,
leaving many of them beyond the seas.
These are the rewards, the only re-
naming evidences which show that
the bill of war has been receipted.
And the price-the multitude of vic
tins stretched upon the fields beneath
the bloody glare of the battle sun-this
is the Price of war.
"Of all the men
Whom days departing beam saw
blooming there,
In proud and vigorous health; of all
the hearts
That beat with anxious life at sunset
there,
How few survive, how few are beat
ing now!"

Among an unusual variety of sub
jects, mechanical and scientific, de-
scribed in pictures and text in the Au-
gust number of Popular Mechanics
Magazine, it is safe to predict that
E. Murphy's discussion of how the gy.
roscOpe works will command particu-
lar interest as the clearest and SIM
plest explanation thus far offered the
layman of this supposedly mysterious
force. The article is we'll illustrated
with diagrams and photographs and
not only explains the principle, but
also describes the several applications
of gyroscopic action.
The cover design for the August
magazine is drawn from the series OF
West Point pictures which are still
running and which have attracted SC
much attention everywhere as a graph
ic portrayal of cadet life. Six pages of
these views appear in the August num-
Der. The magazine contains many
other page views and groups of views.
Among the topics so handled are
the astronomical sphere installed by
the Chicago Academy Of Sciences;
Securing Copper from Scrap Iron and
Tin Cans" the opening of the lock of
the Keokuk dam across the Mississippi
river; the fatality at the English
Derby" when Emily Dawson, mill

horse; Panama Canal Nearing Com
pletion;" 'Ten Thousand Boys in Ath-
letic Contests" features of the liner
"Imperator; Teaching the Farmer

Aviation activities are greatest in
the summer months and the August

velopments in this field, including
many recent flights which have been
particularly sensational.

Mrs. Hartman Adds to Fund for Medi-

Mrs E. H. Hartman, widow of the

fund of $4,000 she established in 1911
for the foundation of meteorological

in connection with the hospital service
of the Southern Pacific company. This
announcement was made by DIR, F. X.
Ainsworth, chief surgeon of the rail-

of the funds is placed.
The purpose of the endowment Is
10 further the progress of medical re.
search. For the last two years, the
work has been going on under the di.
rection of Dr. w. T. Cummings of the
Southern Pacific general hospital at
San Francisco. DR.. Cummings has de.
voted his time to study of serums

and tuberculosis, and has contributed
some valuable experimental data to

MORTALITY IN BABY CHICKS

Remove carefully all traces Of food

nlrrows itself down to one Of two
causes-improper feeding or lack OF
