North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebras-
ka, Kansas. Oklahoma and Texas. Inc
object of this request is first to safeguard
the enormously valuable western white
pine forests from the white pine blister
rust, now known to have foothold IN
six Eastern states. and perhaps also in
the Ohio valley. and second, to avoid the
necessity of burdensome quarantine.
The white blister rust is very de-
structive disease of all white pines, but
occurs also in different form, as a leaf
disease on currants and gooseberries. and
may therefore be carried to new regions
on any of these plants. Like citrus can
ker and chestnut blight, the white pine
blister rust was brought to the country
on imported nursery stock before the
passage of the federal plant quarantine
act. Ninety per cent. Of the infection now
in North America came from single
German nursery. An attempt Is being
made to control the disease in the East
ern states If this disease should spread
to the Rocky mountains and beyond. the
Western forests of white pines, which are
now among the most valuable trees, will
be endangered. At very conservative
estimate the government and private
holdings in these forests represent valu-
alton of $240,OO0,0O0.

The whole company has not been
formed, but the first steps have been
taken, and SO great has been the en-
couragement received that it is be-
lieved a company Of 100 men, each with
motorcycle, will soon be gathered
together. Already about a dozen men
have signified their intention Of join
ing the company. Major Francis E.
Cummings Of Portland has interested
himself in the measure and will
strongly recommend to the adjutant
general that some action be taken by
the State that will look to the equip
ment of the new and novel corps.
Every man in the new company will
not have machine gun. There will be
one Of the. th-dealers for every four
or five men. Every member of the
company will be armed with an auto.
matte revolver and, probably, with a
carbine like those carried by the cav.
alrymen. Each man will furnish his
own MOTORCYCLE. but it is hoped tina,
the State or the national government
will equip the company.

TO REGULATE THE
PRACTICE OF CHIROPODY

Augusta, Me-, April 10-A bill will
be introduced at the next session of the
Legislature regulating the practice of
Chlropody and placing that profess
sion under the supervision Of the State
board of medical examiners. The CHR
opodists of the State are working
through their organization, the CHR
opody Society of Maine, with that end
in view. A bill Of this kind was pre-
scented to the last legislature but many
or the Soions did not think that the
time was just ripe for the enactment of
such a law.
This is most commendable BILL
and therefore should be enacted into a
law because it purposes the protec-
ton Of the people against incompetent
and unskillful practitioners of an i'm
portant branch of medicine" said a
chiropodist today
There is no denying the fact that the
root is just as important a part Of the
human anatomy as is the eye, claim the
chlropodists. the ear the nose or any
other organ, and there is no reason
why the same skillful treatment should
not be accorded as is given to the 9th
er organs
Inc practice Of chiropody is regulat-
ed by statute in New York, Pennsyl-
vanla, Connecticut, Ohio, Michigan,
Colorado and California. In each Of
the above states the Board of Medical
examiners have supervision and the
licensing examinations for chironodv
are conducted at the same time and
place as are the examinations for medi-
cine. dentistry, etc.
