One of the first surprises in store
for such student is to learn that the
United States has no national holt
day. The reader will at once think
of Fourth of July and of the Presi-
dents Thanksgiving proclamation.
But not even these are national. Acts
Of Congress and Presidents pro-
nOuncements in this respect apply
only to the District of Columbia and
the territories. The states usually
follow suit, but as a matter OF Gus
tom only and not of law. Here is a
chance to win some bets from your

unlike Brazil, practically ignores the

sion is shattered when we find that
France has only 18 formally observed

this particular. Among the other bel

MONEY INSTEAD OF
MERCHANDISE SHOULD
BE SENT TO SOLDIERS

The original order that the ap-
proval of a regimental or higher
commander was necessary befoi Q
packages might be sent to members
of the expeditionary forces has been
modified so officers with the rank of
major and higher may approve ship
ments. The approval of company
commander is not sufficient.
The question of the shipment of
parcels to France first came to the
attention of the War Department
when the commanding general of the
expeditionary- forces cabled that con-
gestion of such articles had reached
such a point that French railroads
were unable to handle the load. A
board appointed by the Secretary OF
War and the Postmaster General ex-
amined 5000 sacks of parcel post
mail. and found that the articles be-
ing sent not only. in the main. were
absolutely unnecessary. but undesir-
able. The investigation showed that
the amount OF such mail nad reach-
ed total of 100000 pounds week.
and was steadily increasing.
Relatives and friends, according
to a recent statement by the War De-
partment. will find they often can
do a greater service to soldiers by
sending them money for the purchase
of articles in France than by for
warding the articles. Tobacco is now
being supplied as part of the Army
rations, and merchandise of nearly
all kinds may now be purchased in
France through the huge general
store established by the Quartermas-
ter Corps at lower prices than charg-
ed by retailers here.

ARMY MEDICAL DEPT.
DECLARES WAR ON
FLIES AND MOSQUITOES

Special attention is being given by
the Medical Department OF the Army
in all camps to cleaning up spots
where mosquitoes and flies breed In
some cases it has been necessary to
dig channels in streams. drain
ing systems to clean up stagnant
pools and streams. In cases where
il has been impossible or impractical
BILE to drain swamps and do similar
work. there has been installed a sys-
TEN for keeping siow-moving streams
and still bodies of water covered with
oil At all points within the camp
where there is the slightest possibih-
ty of mosquitoes or flies breeding
daily spraying of oil is done.
Arrangements have been complet-
ed with the Federal Public Health
Service to carry out a similar pro-
gram in the territories adjacent TO
the camps. The Health Service has
agreed to fill bogs. open streams.
and drain swamps, and continue the
oil spraying for distance of one
mile around each camp.
Special precautions have been taxi
en- to prevent the spread of disease
by flies. Instructions were given on
the disposal of materials that We're
likely to become breeding spots. Ar
rangements were made to protect all
food from flies. With this end in
view. all buildings in which food is
prepared or stored were screened.
Entrances to the buildings have been
vestibulted An average of 5000 fly
traps have been placed in each camp.
More than 22.700.oOO square feet of
screening has been placed in all the
camps.

PROVIDE IMPORTATION
OF MEXICAN LABOR

To assist In meeting the present

labor to be used in certain occupa-

der by which the Department of La
Dor has arranged to bring Porto Ric-
an laborers into this country for
work on Government contracts 1t
is estimated that 5000 islanders can
be brought in while transportation
is available.
New regulations on the subject of
Mexican labor contain rigid proyi-
sions to prevent any attempt at ex-
ploitation on the part of prospective
employers. Wage rates current for
similas labor in the localities in
which the admitted alien is to be
employed pre- assured. MS well as good
housing and sanitation conditions.
Applications for permission to inn
port Mexican labor under the new
provisions may be filed with the Unit

service officials, giving the number of
laborers desired, class of work, wag-
es and place OF employment.

FOREST SERVICE FINISHES
LAND CLASSIFICATION WORK

The forest service has just finished
one of the many and varied projects
undertaken by that branch of the
government service, which work in
volved the classification of 27,942,-
600 acres Of National forest land in
District 4 of which Ogden, Utah, is
the headquarters. OF these forest
lands 1,090,000 acres are located in
Arizona, 27,600 in Colorado, 1870
600 in Idaho, 4,713,000 in Nevada,
100000 in Utah and $4,000 IN
Wyoming
At the time the national forests
were originally created, it was im-
possible to avoid the inclusion OF
small tracts of land suitable for ag-
ricultural purposes. These tracts
were scattered throughout the inter
legal means of utilizing the same for
homestead purposes. However, the
Secretary of Agriculture finally Sc
cured the passage of the act of June
IL, 1906, commonly called the For
est Homestead Act This is the only
act providing for securing lands with
in the National Forests for home
stead or any form of agricultural
use, and each tract is limited in ex-
tent to 160 acres. Under this act
some 2.30O Forest homesteads, in
yolving $4,000 acres, have been
listed in District alone.
This method was not very expedi-
tious. and on August 10. 1912.
Congress directed the classification
and segregation of all national forest
land. This work has now been COM
pleted, end maps covering the entire
body nj land included within the ex-
terror boundaries of the national
forests have been prepared and for
warded to Washington. These maps
were colored TO show the location of
the 6iiferent types of timber, roads
and trails. and each map was accom-
pauiei by report containing full
information regarding such features
as elevation. topography. soil, eli
maze. precipitation and amounts and
character of timber
