Transatlantic
 Travel in War Times

The sinking of that gorgeous com bination of speed, science, and luxury, the stea mship Lusitania, will put stop to nearly all trans-Atlantic tourist travel until the war IS over. A good many Americans who travel often in Europe have been itching to get across and feel the thrill of war scenes. They must see now that any such trip is an act of folly.
 The French people have been try ing to encourage tourists to come over this year. No doubt they have hoped to relieve little of the war time poverty by some renewal of the golden stream from our shores. But it would be most 1ugubrious time to visit even sections secluded from l sights and sounds of war, and even
 were it safe.
 People who have business in Eu- rope will still go down to the sea in ships. Peri1s never stopped mankind
 in the chase for dollars. There will be passing back and forth of secretive and impenetrabIe agents, who are ar ranging between th9 several parties for the delivery of war contracts. Only small part of the ships that

tDON'TS" ISSUED
 TO PREVENT
 FOREST FIRES
Public's Cooperation Sought to Stop BIazes Which Are Causing Big
 Losses in the East.

To obtain the oooperation of the public in preventing forest fires which are doing a great deal of dam age in the east this spring, the U. s. forest service has prepared ten s'Don'ts'A to be observed in the woods. It is hoped that these rules may have a beneficial effect during the fire sea- son of the southern Appalachians, which is not yet over, and that of the north woods. which is just beginning and which, from present indications, promises to be unusually severe.
 The ttdon't 'ts'' follow:
 l. Don't throw your match away until you are sure 1t is out.
 9. Don't drop cigarette or cigar butts until the glow is extinguished.
 8. Don't knock out your pipe ashes while hot or where they will 1 fall into dry leaves or other inf1am- mable material.
 A. Don't build. camp fire any larger than is absolutely necessary. 5. Don't build al fire against a i tree a log, or a stump, or anywh ere but on bare soil.
 g. Don't leave fire until you are sure it is out; if necessary smother it with earth or water
 2. Don't. burn brush CT refuse in 1 or near the woods if there IS any 1 chance that the fire may spread be- Eyond your control. or that the wind may carry sparks where they would I SIaII a new Ire.
 8. Don't be any more careless 1 with fire in the woods than you are with fire in your own home. g. Don't be idle when you dis cover a fire in the woods; if you can't I put it out yourself, get help. Where l a, forest guard, ranger, or state fire l warden can be reached, ,@ call him up on the nearest telephone you car find -

WHAT IS JAVA COFFEE?
Public Hearing to Discuss Whether the Term Includes the Su1natra
 Product or Not.

A public hearing on the labelling of East Indian coffees will be held by the Bureau of Chemistry, of the lU. s. Department of Agriculture on June 4th. The particular point to be dis cussed is the use of the term Java Food Inspection Decision s2 holds that under the Food and Drugs Act the term "JaVa' can be properly ap- piled only. to coffee grown on the isI- and of Java. Representatives of the trade, however, assert that coffee grown on the island Of Sumatra is superior to much of that produced in Java, and that since the public has long considered the word +tJava'' to mean any high grade coffee from the East Indies, 1t is perfectly proper to apply it to the Sumatra product also.

cross the seas can be attacked, and those that have speed may usually get away. But other passenger ships will go down. The crossing is a task for those determined and careless hearts who don't mind playing a lit tie gambling stake with death.
 As for the annual host that travels across the seas, they should rest con tent on this side of the water, glad of a land where industry, peace, and plenty prevail over the men of war. Better is the humb1est shack in the

CALLED BY MRS. HATTIE
Is. BORLAND.

A bushel of seeds Of sunshine was
scattered in The Daily Leader office
this afternoon when M. Peters enter
ed with a tray of cooling drinks from
the Sugar Bowl and amid the roar of
the machinery invited the six per-
spring printers to drink of the cool
ing beverages. At the same time he
presented a card inscribed, "Compli-
ments of Mrs. Hattie b. Borland,
Assembly Secretary" That the boys
all drank happy. complimentary
toasts to Mrs. Borland 1t is needless
to say. The Daily Leader job de-
partment has just delivered to Mrs.
Borland the annual edition in PAM
phlet form of the proceedings of the
grand lodge of the Rebekahs of the
state. of which she is the secretary.
and we take 1t that she was pleased
with the work and the courteous
service of our printers and took this
method of showing her appreciation.
The Daily Leader is certainly pleased
with its experience of receiving copy
from Mrs. Borland during the past
two or three weeks, and can give as
that she is anything but a
cranky proofreader-and since she is
pleased with the completed work,
we're a happy bunch all round.
