FIRST FORMATION
WORK WI HA|RPLA
At LOCAL STATION

For the first time since the estab-
lishment of the station here forma-
ton maneuvers were attempted at
the aeronautic station yesterday and
five airplanes successfully carried
out the group flight without mishap.
The work is difficult, and requires
perfect control on the part of all
pilots taking part.
1t is expected that with the sue
cessful completion of the first maneu-
YER others on more extensive scale
will be attempted soon, and the work
matte part of the school activities.
Because of a crack in his gasoline
tank, Lieutenant E. o. Mcdonnell
was forced to abandon flight at the
station yesterday, but no accident re-
suited.

Underbrush in State
Forests to be Burned

Starting this fall, a systematic
campaign will be carried on to de-
stroy every potential firetrap in the
state forests, according to those who
attended the meeting Of the Oregon
State Fire Patrol Association in Port
land last week. The underbrush is
to be burned off, the old logs re-
moved, and an effort made to prevent
the future occurrence of forest fires.
This system has the approval of
most Of the lumbermen Of the state.
Almost all of the forest fires start
in the underbursh, and only after
they have reached some size do they
jump into the tops of the trees. 1t
is the top fire that causes most of
the damage. The only time a fire is
started in the top is when lightning

THE OILERS.

There are various classes Of drones.
There are the vagrants who deco
rate park benches and steal rides on
freight trainsI Any such who have
lingering aspirations for work have
abundant opportunity. The rest are
hopeless.
Another class of idlers, of little
more use to the country, are the sons
of wealth that abound in fashionable
clubs. The state of Maryland has
now a compulsory work law and is
getting after such fellows. eMany of
them to comply with the law have
taken soft jobs like bond statesmen,
but 1t is not reported that the bond
market has been much stirred by
their advent.
This class of men looms up large
in the society papers, but its numeri-
cal size may not correspond with the
prominence 1t gets. The great ma
jority of rich men like to keep in the
money-making game. If they have
million, they want two million, and
they keep plugging. If they are en-
gagged in a productive business, they
give useful service to the country.
There are always some rich mems
sons and holders of inherited prop
erty who never yet did a stroke of
bread-winning work. They contract
ed easy-going ways during luxurious
college courses. After graduation
their fathers found them more bother
in their offices than they were worth.
They drift around from summer re-
sorts TO winter resorts. cultivating
harmless fads, and return nothing to
the world for bounties received.
In England and France this class
of men is patriotic and has gone into
army or supply service. These men
are usually good at athletics, and
would be useful in the army. If able
bodied, they should enlist, and they
would find more pleasure in active
service than they ever did in idleness
Life would have new zest for them.
Idlers at this time should be ashamed
of their easy life, and should either
fight or raise food.
