LOOkoUTS
 FOR FOREST FIRES.
Permanent Stations Established in the
 Towns of Union and Norfolk.

One of the problems of the forestry department is that of preventing for est fires, work that is being systemau 1 icaIiy carried on in this state. And il. this work and the task of actually fighting these fires when they occur
 one of the most important factors, ac-
 cording to a statement from the heao-
 quarters of this department in New Haven, is telephone service.
 Two permanent telephone lookout stations have been eSta bliShed. one in
 Union and the other in Norfolk, and it is hoped that the near future will see this rrumber increased. Both of these stations are located on high points of land and the line of vision, accentu- ated by the use of field glasses, com bined with the use of telephone ser vice service as a fire scout. so to speak, form a splendid opportunity for watching the territory most likely to be affected during the fire or dry sea- son.
 To illustrate the use of the tele- phone in this work, let us assume the following case: A lookout observes smoke and by means of his glasses obtains a general idea as to the loca- ton of the fire. His next move is to reach the warden in whose territory the fire is located and advise him of the fact that there is fire. The war den, going to his telephone. calls up someone in the immediate vicinity of the fire and learns it's exact nature. If it requires attention he summons his men by telephone and they go to work
 The rural free delivery men are be- ing pressed into this service by Uncle sam as an experiment. They are ex- pected to keep their eyes open and. when they observe signs of a fire, to go direct to the nearest telephone and get in touch with the fire warden of the district. In this manner many fires that might prove serious are ex- t;nguished before they have the op- portunity of getting well started.
 In selecting his wardens the state foresters, so far as is possible, chooses men who have telephones in their resi- denceS because of the important part that the service plays in this work. And there we have one more manner in which telephone service plays an important emergency part in public life. To quote an official in this ser vice, it is very deSirab ble that fire war dens have wives-and telephones

 Divers have been at work about the engine for several days in connection with the work of raising the locomo- tive. Incidentally they have attempt ed to find the body of William Per ritt, the fireman who was killed in the accident, but it has not been To- cated as yet. The body has probably been taken down the river with the current.

TO BUILD BOULEVARD
ALONG VIRGINIA HILLS
Supervisors of Alexandria
County Give Approval to
Improvement Enterprise.

Rights of way are now being secured
for a new boulevard to extend southwark
from the Potomac river and parallel to
Mount Vernon avenue on the Virginia
side of the river, and it is proposed to
have work actively in progress soon on a
section of the new highway connecting
Highland boulevard and the Columbia
turnpike. This portion of the road will
extend through the government expert
ment farm, on which property it will con-
meet with the new Arlington boulevard,
which is now in course of construction
from the south end Of the Highway
bridge to Arlington
Some work already has been done on
the new highway in the subdivision OF
Virginia Highlands, and from this point
it is intended to extend 1t southwark to
the old fort at Four Mile Run. This in
terestine fertilization, though not well
known as are other points of historic
Importance I'm and about the National

posed Memorial bridge to Arlington.

highway will closely follow the line OF
a proposed electric line along the crest
of the hills on the Virginia side, of the
Potomac, and this phase In the develop
ment of the county also was given care
