FOREST FIRE WARDEN
 ISSUES WARNING.
Much Damage Can Be Prevented by
 Using Care.

State Forester w. o. Filley, who is also state forest fire warden, has is sued the following warning concern ing forest fires:
 There is every reason to expect an unusually early and severe forest fire season in Connecticut this spring. The lack of snow or rain and the hot sun of the past few weeks have made the woods and fields Veritable fire traps which need only the careless dropping of a lighted match. cigar or cigarette butt to start a confiaa:ration. Already 43 fires have been reported to the state fire warden as occurring during the past three weeks. Probably many more have not been reported. It will be month at least before vegetation will be advanced sufficiently to check the spread of fires. The local fire Wardens are Vigiiant and anxious to prevent all damage possible, but the public must Cooperate with them if large expense as well as property loss is to be prevented.
 During the severe drought of last fall nearly 500 fires occurred in this state, causing thousands of dollars damage. Most of these fires were due to CarelesSness on the part of people who were in the woods and fields dur ing the hunting and nutting seasons. With the advance of spring, thousands of men and boys each pleasant Sunday and holiday will respond to the call of me WllQ. Every one or them ought 10 realize his responsibility to the, com mUnity to see that no fire results from his carelessness, or that no fire which he discovers in the woods is left uneX- tinguished. Every town has a fire war den who should be notified of any fire which is beyond the control of the party discovering it. The telephone | central can usually give the fire war den's number.
 l A word of caution is also necessary
 to anyone having occasion to burr | brush during the next month. The law I requiring the securing of permits 8
 in effect March 18th and should be ob' | served in every case. No brush should | be burned on windy days and Withou l due precaution to keep the fire iron | spreading. There is a heavy penalty | for kindling a fire which escapes anC l injures the property of another. Int | securing of 8 permit does no talter tht responsibility for consequences for fir, | damage.
 Anyone interested in these matter! can secure information regarding tht
 laws from the local fire wardens or b! writing to the undersigned. There i l a great lack of intelligent public inter est in the subject, however, largely du to a, lack of appreciation of the damag and expense caused by forest fires il IConnecticut. The general impression seems to be that a fire in the woods i a natural occurrence which does n harm. On the contrary. no single fac tor is so largely responsible for tn deterioration in the quality of our for est growth as the fires which hecom more and more numerous with the in crease in denisty of our population.

Child Labor in the Past,

The protest in England against the suggestion that young children should provide cheap labor for farmers re- minds us that one of the crying scan dals of the past was child labor in the fields. This was largely in the form of agricultural gangs which frequently consisted of unfortunate infant pau pers let out to taskmasters by the par ish. The practice continued until the passing of the Education Acts, and it is one of the most striking proofs of the tender age of the children employ ed that the Agricultural Gangs Act, 1887, passed for their protection, en- acted should be employed in an agr1- cultural gang.-London Chronicle.
