Three National Forests
Recently Added to the List
Complying With Weeks Law

The president has proclaimed the es-
tablishment of three new forests, the
final step in carrying out the purpose
of the Weeks law.
The first, observes writer in Out
look, is the White Mountain National
forest. Its area of nearly 100000
acres protects the watersheds of the
AndroscOggin, Saco, Connecticut and
AmmonoOsuc rivers. This watershed
region has also long been famous as an
important recreation ground.
AS it's name implies, the Shenandoah
National forest is on the watershed of
the Shenandoah river, but it also pro-
tects q portion of the Potomac and
James river watersheds. Its area IS
about 10000 acres. On this area, and
still intact, are the trench systems
constructed during the Civil war under
Stonewall Jackson's supervision.
The White Mountain National forest
lies mostly in New Hampshire, but laps
over into Maine; the Shenandoah for
est lies mostly in Virginia, but laps
over into West Virginia. The Natural
Bridge National forest, however. ia
wholly In Virginia. Its area is about
10000 acres. The forest protects q
part OF the James river watershed.

American Farmers Should
Follow ScoiIand's Plan to
Eliminate Food-Eating Rats

The canny Scots Of West Perth
shire district are living up to their
reputation. They have organized in
IN active campaign to cXterminate
rats and save the food and property
which they waste. They have demon
strated that ii is cheaper to kill than
to feed rats. According to a report
from the American consul at Dundee,
which has just been received by the
United States department of agricul-
ture, campaign to exterminate rats
in the district mentioned, for which
$1,479.41 was appropriated, resulted
last year in the killing of 100000 rats.
The board Of agriculture appropriated
%4SG.G5 for the campaign. 1t is said
that one rat in the course of IL months
caused damage estimated at $2.43, and
as there We're approximately two rats
to the acre, the amount of damage
done was equivalent to the average
amount of rent paid by the tenants Of
West Perthshire. The campaign has
been so successful and the people so
pleased with the results that COM
munity cooperation to exterminate
rats is to be. continued another year,
according to the report.
American farmers, who have long
suffered losses from these food raid
ers, should follow the example set by
this district and organize community
campaigns to get rid Of rats. In many
sections of this country where similar
campaigns have been conducted re-
suits always have been gratifying.

Words Of Wise Men

Choose the just man. The
partial man may not always be
partial to you, but the just man
is always just.
The great man expects every
thing of himself; the small man
expects everything of others.
A man should never be
ashamed to own he has been in
the wrong, which is but saying
in other words that he is wiser
today than he was yesterday.
Denied a right to serve in the
army, 100 Colorado Indians are
doing their bit by working on
the highways. They are build
ing modern roads over the trails
blazed by their forefathers.

French Need Sugar Badly.

Federal Food Administrator Charles
Hebberd appeals to the people Of
Washington to heed the urgent call
of the French people, voiced through
Herbert Hoover, to provide them with
100000 tons of sugar within thirty
days.
This must be done" said Mr. Heb
herd, ~ the minimum ration now
furnished the French people is to be
continued until the new crop OF West
Indian sugar is available January /.
There is only enough sugar in the
United States nov to supply our nor.
NAL consumption until the new crop
is available. If the call of the French
people is to be answered it can only
be through economy.
America consumes 80 pounds OF
sugar per capita each year, or a little
under four ounces for each person
each day In France, England and
Italy, the annual consumption per cap
tia is 81 pounds. or less than one
ounce each day.
THE 100000 people in Washington
now consume as much sugar as g.
100000 French people.
THE French people are about to
be deprived of that bare minimum
ration for two months unless our peo-
pie reduce their excessive consump-
ton OF candy and sugar"

URGENT CALL is MADE FOR
NURSES AT THE FRONT

The call for graduate nurses for ac-
tive service with the American Army
is so great at this time that the Bureau
OF Nursing OF this division is asking
every chapter to use Its influence in
urging nurses to enroll. II everyone
could only be made to see the need as
we see it and as we know it to exist,
no one would be saying, as so many do,
How can we do without the nurses at
homer" Our boys have gone to the
front; they have given up their work
at a sacrifice, have given up their
homes for the tent and the trench;
have offered their lives, if necessary,
and we are most anxious that our nurses
shall show the temper Of our western
women in being ready and willing to
shoulder whatever comes for them to
do. To be willing to go to the
environments, or wherever needed.
Reports from the environments
throughout the country tell of the dan
ger OF contracting pneumonia, smallpox
measles, meningitis, scarlet fever, in
fact, most OF the ailments flesh is heir
to. 1t should not be necessary that
these cases be taken care OF by the
enlisted men who know nothing of
their seriousness; rather should they be
given the attention of trained hands.
At present there are three base hos
pital units needing one hundred nurses
each being recruited on the coast, two
of them in our own division, and two
are being held back from service at
once on account OF the lack Of nurses.
Reports from Italy, since the recent
unexpected reverses, say that the Red
Cross desires to send three base hos
pitfalls to their assistance at once. Our
own boys are to 60 into the trenches
in the spring, and our own nurses must
care for them.
Refuting the statement which we so
often hear. That Red Cross nurses
are not safe, even at the hands of our
own army" it is to be said that in
Europe they receive the most guarded
protection and supervision at the hands
of the Red Cross, and reports regarding
their condition and work are constantly
being made. In view of this fact, and
the fact that no nurse is ever given an
appointment who is not known to be
we'll trained, upright, moral girl, there
is no foundation for such a statement,
and no nurse need hesitate 10 enroll
because of fears Of such a condition
existing.
So far the work, conduct and bravery
Of our Red Cross nurses at the front
has shown to the world that American
nurses are always ready in the front
ranks and will continue to uphold the
good name OF the American women.
Will the women OF the chapters try
to interest the nurses in this matter,
and have them write for particulars to
Miss M. S. Loomis, Director of the
bureau Of nursing at Divisional Head
quarters.
