fional forests and national parks must
be patrolled by airplanes and protect
ed by wireless telephone.
Time is a vital factor in fighting
forest fires. They must be detected
Instantly and combated promptly.
Once forest fire gains sufficient
Roadway the flames convert each live
pine into gas retort and the flaming
gas, carried by the wind, jumps far
ahead of the fire line, to start new
fires Also, a forest fire will run up
a mountain slope with tremendous
speed. creating its own draft as it
goes.
Airplane service would instantly de-
6ect a forest fire. 1t would reach the
spot promptly, with smothering gas,
6irefighters, tools, provisions and ma
6erials. If the national forests and
national parks are worth creating and
administering, they are worth preserv-
ang. The ordinary forest fire is a ca
aamity. The big one is catastrophe.
I'm twinkling the growth of gen.
Mrations is gone. Where forest stood
there is desolation which will last for
many a year. The losses in money
this season, saying nothing of the
menace to human life, would pay for
an extensive air service equipment
That there is a distinct and impor-
fant place for aircraft in fire protec-
Zion of timberlands has been regard
ed by the forestry officials for some
time as beyond doubt. 1t was with this
adea in mind that arrangements were
made to have army airplanes and cap
tive balloons cover portions of the ma
fional forests Of California, Arizona,
New Mexico and other states this sum-
gmer. The patrolling was started early
In June and has so quickly proved it's
worth, that it was proposed to extend
the service to other points in the East,
Including one near the White noun
Gains in New Hampshire.
No difficulty is experienced by the
@irmen in detecting fires in heavy tim
Der from elevations of 5000 to 10000
feet.
At present the forest service relies
FOR the detection OF fires partly on pa

cycles, or railroad speeders, and partly
Ou watchers stationed on lookout
points. Aircraft have many points of
obvious superiority over this method.

HOW TO INTRODUCE QUEENS
1t Is Necessary to Remove Old and De-

With Younger Stock

Every beekeeper who is really car

introduce queens, because it is neces-

queens and replace them by young
vigorous ones.
Queens may be introduced in cells
or after they have emerged from cells,
while still unfertilized, or after they
have begun to lay.

meeting here today unanimously vot-
ed to put the fight against tubercu-

ton of the state office.

enlarged staff Under this plan, it
is believed il will be possible to COM
mand the services of some of the most
able public health nurses ard health
educators in the country. Less than
half of the counties at present have
anti-tuhercu'os's organizations.
In the campaign which will be car
ried on under the name of the Red
Cross Seal Comnaign from December
/ to December 10 under the direction
of a state wide committee of which
Gov. Mlliken is chairman, it is ex
pected that suffic'en funds will be
raised to provide for the fight against
tuberculosis in every county of the
state. Under the new plan united
force will be able to render much bet
ter corporation to the state tuher-
culosis saratoria in caring for tuber-
culous patients prior to their admis-
sion to state hospitals, as well as sub
seque9t to their d scharge. It is also
felt that the nursing forces of the
state can be more quickly modified
in emergencies for special work in
particular localities under the new
plan.

.RUMORS OF BIG
TRACTION MERGER
Plan to Connect Elkins,

Said to Be on Foot.

CUMBERLAND. Md. July Ill,
was announced today that a New

tenn and the plant of the Edison Elec
trio Illumination company, of which
former United States Senator R. L
Wellington Is president.
Mr. Wellington declared today tha,
the company had been approached re
garding the sale Of their property and
such thing is an early probability.
The plan, 1t was said. calls for the
connecting up of all the towns by troll
ley forming system between Cumber
land and Elkins and Grafton, West vir-
ginia.
Senator Wellington said that the
ownership of the Cumberland proper
ties would be necessary to carry out
this big merger scheme. 1t is under
stood that electric power would be
transmitted several hundred miles
from a central plant to be located in
the Allegheuys which would be operat-
ed by water power from dams.
