MOSQUITO PEST SUPPRESSED

The determination of mosquitoes by
means of bats has proved SO successful
in the vicinity of San Antonio, Texas,
nance f%orbidding the killing of these
little flying animals. and bat colonies
are being established in other mos
authenticated sections of the South.
The June Popular Mechanics Magazine
says:
1.-THE country around Mitchell Lake,
ten miles from San Antonio, where the
first of these bat roosts stands, was for
merly so thickly infested with mosqui-
toes that 1t was almost impossible to
remain out of doors at night, and
since most of the insects were of the
Misunderstanding variety, the section

SEEK COOPERATION
To STOP FOREST FIRES
U. S. Department of Agriculture
Issues List of 'Don'ts"; Blazes
Cause Rig Losses

Washington, June 4.-To obtain the
cooperation of the public in prevent
ing forest fires which are doing a great
deal of damage in the East this
Spring, the United States Forest Serv-
ice has prepared ten "don'ts'' to be
observed in the woods. 1t is hoped
that these rules may have a beneficial
effect during the fire. season of the
southern Appalachians, which is not
yet over, n that of the North woods,
which is just beginning and which,
from present indications, promises to
be unusually severe.
The "Dont's'' follow:
/. Don't throw your match away
until you are sure it is out.
2. Don't drop cigaret or cigar butts
until the glow is eXtinguished.
8. Don't knock out your pipe ashes
while hot or where they will fall into
dry leaves or other ~infammable ma
terial.
4. Don't build a camp fire any
larger than is absolutely necessary.
5. Don't build a fire against a tree,
a log, or a stump, or anywhere but on
bare soil.
6. Don't leave a fire until you are
sure it is out; if necessary smother it
with earth or water.
Z. Don't burn brush or refuse in or
near the woods If there is any chance
that the fire may spread beyond your
control, or hat the wind may carry
sparks where they would start a new
fire.
s. Don't be any more careless with
fire in the woods than % are with
fire in your own home.
8. Don't be idle when you discover
a fire in the woods: if you can't put it
out Yourself, get helm, Where a for
est guard, ranger, or State fire warden
can be reached, call him up on the
nearest telephone you can find.
10. Don't forget that human
thoughtlessness and negligence are
the causes of more than half of the
forest fires in this country. and that
the smallest spark may start a con-
fiagration that will result in loss of
life and destruction of timber and
young growth valuable not only for
lumber but for their influence in help
ing to prevent flood. erosion and
drought.
Many thousands of acres Of forest
and suburban woodland from Maine
to Florida, and from the Atlantic coast
as far West as Arkansas, have been
burned over already this Spring by
fires which started for the most part
from ~preventable causes. On the ma
tional forest purchase areas alone,
forty-nine fires occurred in March,
burning over more than $500 acres,
while forty-four fires starting on pri-
vate land neal or within government
boundaries damaged nearly $500
acres. Fires in April were even more
numerous and severe, but rains in the
latter part of the month helped the
situation somewhat. Fire statistics
for April are not yet available.

Inconsistency

.
If railroad engineer is injured in the per-
Torrance of his duty and through no negligence
on his part he not only receives his salary while
incapactated, but the company is appreciative
enough to assume the added expenses its employe
incurs. This also holds true of other corpora
tions. ~.
But the public, which often takes delight in
lambasting corporations, Indignantly referring to
them as souless, heartless and predatory, permits
its "holier- than-thou" attitude to be shown up
quite frequently. >.a.s.. r.. ,
If our favorite target for abuse, the street
railway company, for instance, should refuse to
pay the medical, surgical and hospital expenses
of one of its motormen injured when an automo-
bile plunged into his car, popular indignation
would rise to fever heat. .....
But with inconsistent Indifference the same
public views condition which compels one of it's
own employees a police officer, to pay all the ex-
penses he has been put to by being shot while
trying to arrest desperate murderer.
