The large sum of money represented by the term "a billion dollars. being frequently used in the financing of this and other countries illustrated by statement recently made before the educational depart ment of the National City bank of New York

Thir ty-onc days. But that Is only the beginning of the measurement of great figures for if this man were to on counting silver dollars at the of speed for ten he would find that he had only counted one hundred million of them and that to billion dol lars would require lo2 years of steady work at the rate ." eight hours per day during every working day the lo2 years. In the measurement of that of the world billion Is a thousand times is much as a mil lion.

PUTTING OUT FOREST FIRES
 IS REPRODUCTIVE LABOR

ALBUQUERQUE. N. NJ, June ' Because large forest fires may di- vert hundreds of labcrers from south western mines and ranches. the For est Service is urging on all forest users special cartion in handling camp fires. smoking materials and matches. Prevent Forerst Fires" Is 3 preparedness slogan this year, in the opinion Of forest officers. It is pointed out that one large fire which started from a fsherman's camp in the Mogollcn mountains last year consumed the time of 5 laborers for four days. To extinguish another fire on the Prescott Forest near Crown King required l15 men for seven days. In these two cases alone. carclessness with fire divert ed nearly 11.0O0 man-hours from pro- ductive to unproductiye labor. and in addition destroyed much valuable timber and forage.
 Forest fires not only burn timber. but also destroy forage on the ranges, which generally means di. rect and immediate loss in meat pro- duets. They also frequently spread to hay stacks, grain fields, saw mills, lumber yards. and other sources of raw material. all badly needed in the present national emergency. Break your match in two before you throw 1t away" coes not sound like a pre. paredness slogan. but forest officers contend that the observance of this simple rule this year would add many thousands of dollars to the productive capacity of the Southwest.
