WASHINGTON. May 19.-Dehnlte
steps to give Uncle Sam complete
control OF the much-disputed divorce
legislation Of the country have been
determined upon by a group of
members Of CONGRESS. who have un-
dertaken a campaign for federal d.
vorce laws
Under the constitution. the United
States government has no authority
TO interfere with the enactment or
execution Of laws effecting marriage
or divorce within the various states,
and as a result OF the As states in

from all the other state laws.
For years the courts have encoun-
tered untold difficulties in handling
the situation growing out of the di-
versity Of divorce laws. Judges and
lawyers in various states have clam
ored for uniform state laws" on the
subject. and bar associations
throughout the country have con
Quoted campaigns 10 remedy the
evils.
In many cases the courts have
been confronted with the necessity
OF finding that man or woman
might be married in one state, after
securing a divorce in another state.
Numerous cases have arisen where
the differences in divorce laws in
different states would make a man
who married after securing a divorce
guilty OF bigamy just as soon as he
crossed a state line. Up to date the
remedy suggested has been ths pas
sage OF a uniform laws by the va
rious state legislatures.
Limit Divorce Grounds.
A group Of house members. how
ever. led by Rep. Volstead of Mimi
esota has determined upon a short
cut. They propose to limit the state
control Of divorce legislation by a
constitutional amendment that would
give the federal government author
ity TO prescribe the causes for di-
vOrce. Rep. VOlstead has introduced
a joint resolution which is now be-
fore the house judiciary committee
for consideration. 1t would provide,
as n part Of the constitution
1.-The congress may define and
limit the causes for divorce from the
bonds Of matrimony and the cOndi-
tiOns under which suits may be
brought for divorce The states may
enact and enforce laws authorizing
divorces to be granted but any part
thereof that shall be in contraven-
ton OF any Jaw enacted by the con-
gress shall be void. Any state may
however. prohibit divorces for any
and all OF the causes for divorce de-
fined by any law enacted by the con-
gress and impose restriction in ad-
dition to those imposed by congress
on the granting Of divorce. Any di-
vorce granted pursuant TO any valid
law OF any state after congress shall
have defined the causes for divorce
shall be valid everywhere"
Supporters Of the Volstead amend
ment declare that in addition 70
remedying the diversity of state
legislation, the proposed federal
statues would operate to limit di-
vorces.

AT THE ORPHEUNI.

AN exceptionally good bill' was
the vote of almost everyone who at
tended the opening performance Of
the Orpheum entertainers for the
last half of this week.
One must exercise much effort in
the inspection of detail to pick the
leading players on the program, and
this week it is almost a matter of
personal taste as TO the kind Of an
act one likes best and not the work
Of the entertainers.
Weber and Wilson probably met
with the most favor, as their act
gave something entirely new in the
latest steps and dances. They were
we'll worth the appreciation shown
them.
The Randalls in their act Seven

be the best that have visited South

practice and development Of hitting

The Mems Proposition.
The mems proposition submitted at
the conference provided that 100 miles
or less, or eight hours or less should
constitute a day, with overtime be-
ginning at the expiration of eight
hours on runs of less than 100 miles
and as soon as 100 miles had been
run on longer trips, overtime to be
computed at one and one-half times
the pro-rata rate, no one to receive
less than they previously received for
a minimum day. The men were to be
guaranteed the right to retain any
rates of pay or schedule in effect on
January /, 1916, which would be pre-
ferable to the new schedule.
The roads contended that the men
made no allowance for the difference
between railroad and industrial serv-
ice. They pointed out that railroad
enginemen or trainmen are guaran-
iced payment for a full day no matter
how few hours they work and receive
pay for more than a full day if they
work more than either the established
miles or hours. In other lines of in

the fire fighting army. Once the call
has been made they come from every
direction prepared to combat the COM
mon enemy. Frequently these fires
occur within short distance from
small villages and towns and then the
problem becomes more complex in
that the houses once aflame are ex-
tinguished with greater difficulty.
Recently the weather bureaus in all
the states have begun lending a hand
in preventing forest fires. Reports
of the direction of winds, whether
strong or light, are daily sent to the
forest service in the various districts
for distribution. The probability of
rain or continued dryness also form
the subject of weather bureau bulle-
tins to the service.
Besides the use of the telephone
and telegraph the forest rangers also
use the Photograph with which they
are able to send flashes of sunlight
many miles to bring aid. These are
where telephone and telegraph lines
are not yet available. At centrally To-
Gated depots are caches of dynamite
that also are used for signlling pur-
poses. At these depots are stored ma
terials for fire fighting purposes and
highly specialized apparatus.
Rigid rules have been laid down for
persons camping in the woods and the
fire permit system has lessened the
number of fires very appreciably. The
greatest loss comes from the negli-
gent pleasure-seekers who drop light
ed matches in the grass and low
brush. The. fire permit cards can be
obtained either at the general office
or of any ranger and there is no ex-
pense attached to it. The good &C.
complished by this arrangement ap-
pears in the fact that when a fire
| breaks out it is possible to know who
had a permit to build a fire in thai
territory, for close record is kept Of

the permits issued. The first permit
card authorizes the holder to build
camp fires on the national forest land
between certain dates, provided the
following requirements are complied
with. To build small fires only; to
a tree or log or within twenty feet Of
build fires in the open and not against
standing brush; to scrape away all
leaves and trash from around the fire;
to never leave a fire unattended even
for a short time without first extin-
gushing it; to extinguish fires, first
water; then cover with dirt; bonfires
are not allowed. 1t is further provided
that when camp is moved the ground
must be left in a clean and sanitary
condition.

under each division is a more detailed
account Of the commodities compris-
ing the shipments. The report on the
shipments is taken from the 1915 re-
port of the chief of engineers of the
q. S. army.
An itemized table of imports fol-
lows the exports, and the business Of
1913, which is considered a normal
year, is compared with that of 1914,
showing an increase of slightly over
500, 900 in value IN 1914. The export

in 1913 Pensacola exported cargoes
valued at s23, ,469, and the imports

UNCLE SAM IS
WATCHING HIS
FORESTS CLOSE

San Francisco, Aug. 5.-Extreme
vigilance is the order of the day
throughout the forest service in all
the western states in which there are
national forests because August and
September are rated the critical time
when forest fires are most numerous
and disastrous. These are the dryest
months of the year on the Pacific
Slope and in consequence the grass
and brush in forest are finder dry and
offer the least resistance to fire.
Throughout the dry season, which
begins in about April and extends
through the early part of November,
according to the latitude of the diff
ferent states, the forest service, of
the department of agriculture, in
creases its working forces until it has
a host of men throughout the ranges
ever on the alert for fires. These
additional forces augment the regular
range force which is on duty the year
round.
Both day and night this large force
of Uncle Sans is wakeful and watch
full to detect the dread element that
/ annually causes vast damage to for
est and to property of settlers and
thus results in an enormous waste
that must be kept to the least posi-
BILE figure. At night time the reflec-
ton of the flames makes detection
/ easier than during the daylight hours
when thin wisp of smoke at. a not
| easily determined point is all that
may herald a disastrous blaze.
| These vigilant guardians of the ma
tional forests serve their country with
as much fidelity as do the regulars
and volunteers on the Mexican border.
Frequently, in the midst of a serious
forest conflagration, they risk their
lives as frequently as do the soldiers,
but in a less spectacular manner.
Fighting a forest fire has less the
! elements of romance than a furious
cavalry or infantry charge that re-
suits in the capture of an enemy
trench.
High up on some lonely peak, far
from the centers of civilization, stands
a high watch tower that daily is the
post of a forest ranger who with pow
erful binocular and telescope is on
the lookout for the thin, tell-tale ban
ner of vapor that tells its own story
at the fight ahead to the watcher. On
other peaks there are similar watch
towers and the watchers here too,
may mark the rising column of
smudge from afar. All report to a
|, central station where the fire is ac-
curately located.
At each watch tower there is a cir
cular map of the district within the
vieH of that particular tower. By
triangulation on this map the watch
er notes the direction of the fire from
= his tower. The other watch towers
do the same and all report to the cen
? trail station these various directions
Where the triangulation lines meet or
: the great map of the central station
there the fire is. 1t is simple and yet
: a most effective method. The fire To-
Gated, the fighting forces of the dis
} triet are modified and the battle be-
gins. It may be short and it may
= last. for weeks, but it is fought none
= the less relentlessly.
5 Stretching in every directions from
r the central ranger stations are miles
? of telephone and telegraph wires that
2 are used in time of danger to mobilize
