SECRETARY HOUSTON INSPECTS FORESTS

Head of Department of Auricul- ture Is Studying Conditions Relative to Natural National Resources.

WASHINGTON Secretary of Agri. culture Houston has begun an exten. sive tour of the national forests to ind out for himself Go what extent their timbers, forage, water DOW Ter. recieational and agricultural resour- ces are being developed for the public under present methods and to maze a study of the administrative problems or the forest service. During May he will visit the forests in several of the western states, spending almost the entire time of his trip in the wilds seeking frst-hand impressions Of the conditions under which the forest service works.
 Conditions during the spring ano summer are likely to be unusually arduous, according Co forest service officials, in that a dangerous fire sel- son in indicated for many of the for ests by the abnormally slight precipi- tation cf the winter Unless the ac. fciency is made up. the forests will be dry and innammable earlier in tho season than usual and the water sup ply Of many extensive regions will be low Numerous irrigation. reser,. oir and power projects are wholly or in part dependant on national forest protection ot watersheds, and it ia beginning to be generally understood that aside from actual farming or national forest land. the agricultural interests or tte west are much con cerned in tre conservation ol water supplies accomplished bv the forest service through lessened fire damage and regulated grazine In Southern California the interest in maintaining forest covC~ on thc mountains from which local v7ttcr supplies are de- rived is so lral Chat for a number Of years focal i,rds have been raised and paid over the department of agriculture in order 10 provide ros more intensive protection than the federal appropriations make possible.

 He is lowered on a chair by means ot a pulley into water ss hot as any wan can stand and after a time, un- der the soothing. soitening influence he is able Co move limbs that before were immobile He sits with an arm in an acid bath or with electricity coursing through his system until gradually he becomes more supple.
 Then he moves into a room filed with fantastic instruments, each de- sisned to give play to some particular muscles. If it is a leg that has gone uIt of commission he mounts a mach sc not unlike a bicycle and pedals for hours until at las, he has won back tbe use of his limb.
 If bullet has Iessened the soldiers ability to breathe, he is suspended by straps under his arms. and slowly drawn upward by a sort of hoist which facilitates his inhalations. He learns how to crook his knee, twist his wrist raise his arm and turn his head
