FIRE LAWS
Results Of First Years Operation
of Weeks Law.
More States Cooperate With Federal
Government During the Coming
Year-The Allotment Is Flo.
ured at $4,000.

Washington. In forest ire
protection after the first years oper
alton of the Weeks law have been
compiled by the forest service, The
Weeks law called for cooperation be
tween the federal government and the
states In protecting the water sheds
of pavigable rivers from forest fires
A lump sum of $4,000 was appropri'
ated to be expended in fire protec'
ton in the aid of such states as had
fire laws and a protective system OF
their own. The amount to be spent
by the general government was to be
not greater than the amount appropri-
ated by the several states.
Cooperation was invited by the gov.
eminent as soon as the money was
available Eleven states took part In
the work last year. Maryland was the
most southern of these states MOST
of New England participated, and Wis
consin. Minnesota and Oregon also
took part. The total state expendi-
ture was SOL, 200, and the federal ex'
penditure $4,000. The allotment to
the states was larger than than. but
all of the money was not expended.
The results were SO good, however,
that more states have passed forest
fire laws and more will cooperate
with the federal government during
the coming year. The allotment for
this cooperation is figured $4,000
The argument that was used by the
forest service IN urging the .co-opera-
ton of the states was the immense
fire loss annually In the forests OF the
country, 1t is estimated that there
are 100000 acres of forest burned
annually in the United States, and the
loss averages S20,000.000. The loss in
some of the states is enormous. In
Wisconsin, for instance. in 1908, there
were more than million acres burn
ed. and the loss was more than $9000,-
600 In 1900 in the same state the
loss sank to 100000. but the next
year 1t rose to $5,000.000.
Under the operation of the Weeks
law the fire patrols were strengthened
and the system of trails. telephones
and lookout stations was improved.
The patrolmen In the woods put out
small fires left by campers and fisher
men and warned all the parties that
they met of the danger of leaving any
sort of fire More than 1000 such
warnings were given.
Many of the private timber owners
have seen the advantage of this sort
of fire insurance and have organized
mutual fire protective associations and
are contributing materially to their
support. 1t is hoped by the forest
service that all the states having for
ests will organize and participate in
the work, because It is said that the
material returns from such invest
ment are very large.

the death rate during the past year
was but 80 per thousand.
While giving due credit to the pres
ent medical service. DR.. Krulish de-
clares that II is entirely inadequate TO
the demand. cat present there is no
appropriation available for the cree
tion OF hospitals he asserts. al
though these institutions are neces-
sary for the proper treatment OF cases.
The physicians now employed are
working at disadvantage in rented
buildings that are unsuited for the
treatment OF the sick. while many OF
them have no hospital facilities at all,
but even with this equipment good re-
suits are being accomplished The
present medical work should therefore
be extended and placed upon firm
and permanent basis"

Big Demand
for Bulletins

I
has demonstrated the need of brief,
inexpensive publications. which con.
gey useful information to practical
people in plain everyday English. At
first the growth was comparatively
slow. but at this time the number of
bulletins has reached FIVE hundred,
and the total output is more than
ninety-eight million copies.
The growth of the popularity of this
series of bulletins is not more clearly
illustrated by the total number dis
tributed than by the fact that the an.
nual distribution has been increased
from 10000 in 1880 to nearly eleven
million in 1912, with an unsatisfied de-
