FOREST FIRE PERIL ENDS.
Reports and estimates from renre

Reports and estimates from repre-
sentatives of the forest service, U. S.
department. of agriculture, indicate
that the period Of the greatest forest
fire peril that has ever confronted the
forest service has been brought to an
end by heavy rains and SHOWS in Mon
tana and northern Idaho. Until this
sorely needed assistance from nature
arrived the wooded areas of the dis
trict were so dry that fires gained
terrific Roadway with astonishing
rapidity.
A surprising number of electric
storms occurred over these tinder-dry
regions, unaccompanied by sufficient
rain to check the flames which were
started by lightning. More than half
of the fires in the regions, reports
show, were begun by such electrical
storms.
To meet this peril in Montana and
northern Idaho, a maximum of 1850
extra men were employed in addition
to the regular forces in the field. By
reason of what was probably better
organization than has ever been eff
fected heretofore, the fire fighters
were able to keep the flames very
largely away from the more valuable
timber. While no definite figures are
yet available, it is estimated that the
burned area totals approximately n
million acres. Much Of this, however,
was land which had been burned over
at some previous time. What is known
as a blow-up-a wind of great velocity
occurred during the season, and ad-
ded greatly to the labor of the fire
fighters. For a time it was feared
that the destruction wrought might
be as great as that in 1910.
This season seven men lost their
lives fighting the flames. Two died
of spotted fever, from overexer-
ton, and four were killed by falling
trees. In 1910 more than 70 men were
killed and many towns were wiped out.
One crew Of men this year was SER
iously imperiled and for many hours
it was feared they had been cut off
by the advancing flames. Another
crew was forced to remain in a cold
stream for IS hours to avoid being
burned to death. Similar measures
We're taken to save a pack train.

"All the nations of the world have
joined in a conspiracy of silence up
on the questions of social morality and
social hygiene" says Mrs . Carrie
Chapman Gait, president of the Amer
lean Woman Suffrage Association, in
speaking of the vital Importance of
the international conference of women
physicians being called by the Y. w.
C. A. in New York, September 25th
to October 31st, with a general con-
v@ention for delegates from many ma
tional women's organizations during
the final days. The result is, contin-
ued Mrs. Gait, that a dark curtain
has rested over this subject and vest
ed it with mystery. In consequence
all efforts to correct existing wrongs
and find the right solution of the
problems is met by a mass of conflict
ing facts combined with much ignor'
ance. The conference called by the
War Work Council of the Young Wo'
mems Christian Association is the
most sensible, practical and helpful
step toward the correction Of these
unfortunate conditions. 1t cannot but
result in a clarifying of understand
ing and a stimulus to the various
movements looking toward the correc'

GOVERNMENT experts DIN OUT THAI

CURE YET DISCOVERED.

Whether or not the influenza cpl
demic will recur this fall and winter
has been the subject of the past sew
eral months and columns have been
written about it by health authorities,
Following is an authoritative state
ment issued by the United States pub
lie health service and contains much
that will interest our readers:
Probably, but by no means certain
ly, there will be a recurrence of the
influenza epidemic this year.
Indications are that should it occur
it will not be as severe as the pam
demic of the previous winter.
City officials, state and city boards
of health, should be prepared in the
event of a recurrence.
The fact that a previous attack
brings immunity in a certain percent
age of cases should allay fear on the
part of those afflicted in the previous.
epidemic.
Influenza is spread by direct and
indirect contact.
1t is not yet certain that the germ
has been isolated, or %dicovered, and as
a consequence there is yet no positive
preventive, except the enforcement Of
rigid rules of sanitation and the avoid
ance of personal contact.
A close relation between the in
fluenza pandemic and the constantly
increasing pneumonia mortality rate
prior to the fall of 1918 is recognized.
1t is now believed that the disease
was pretty widely disseminated
throughout the country before it was
recognized in it's epidemic state. This
failure to recognize the early cases
appears to have largely been due to
the fact that every interest was then
centered on the war.
The above are important facts de-
veloped by the United States public
health service after a careful survey
and investigation of the influenza pam
demic of 1919-19, carried on in every
state and important city, and ever
foreign countries.
No one of the many experts of the
service would make a more positive
forecast Of the all-important ques-
