First Friend-Hello. links, that's a
bad cold you have. Soak your feet in
boiling water and drink a pint of hot
vinegar and treacle. It's a sure
cure.
Second Friend "a few moments

do something for that cold Take a
big dose of quinine-sure thing every

Third Friend (ten minutes later)-

yourself into the grave like that. Get

Fourth Friend-Got a bad cold.

cut up by deep canons or where noun
tain ridges obstruct the view, or In a
flat country that affords no soed
points of vantage, are often unable to
pick up fires quickly by the rising
smoke, or to locate them accurately.
For precise location the system in use
depends on triangulation through re-
ports telephoned from separate obser-
vation points. Airplanes, however, can
use wireless, or even the new wireless
telephone and they can locate fires by
coordinates In the same way that gun
fire In war is directed to a particular
spot.
Experiments made In bombing fires
to put them out show the possibilities
In this direction. Bombs charged with
suitable chemicals for extingiushing
fires have been used with good results.
At present the only observation ball
loon used in connection with forest
fire patrolling is the one maintained at
the Arcadia field, near Los Angelica
This balloon is sent aloft to a height
of about 5000 feet and remains there
from a. m. until p. m. In case of fire
report from the balloon observer is
telephoned to the army balloon school
and transmitted to the forest service
Ut Los Angeles. Another plan to be
tested later In the summer is trans
porting fire fighters by dirigibles from
which ladders can be lowered to the
ground
Outlaw Cotton Fields.
The airplane to spy out hidden cot
ton fields has proved successful 1t Is
the result of an experiment carried out
by the federal horticultural board Of
the department of agriculture. In
southern Texas, where the devastat-
ing pink bollworm of cotton has been
trying to invade the United States
from Mexico, there are cotton-free
zones, declared by law as barriers
against the progress of the worm. But
few misguided farmers feel that
their rights have been infringed and
have developed tendency to become
outlaw cotton planters. Much of the
country is heavily timbered. roads are
AtH SOOd III pta-
ces, and 1t has been possible for an
! outlaw planter to tuck away a few
acres oe cotton In some nook of the
woods beyond probability Of discovery
by ordinary means, though the depart
ment of agriculture has been making
diligent efforts TO spot every stalk of
cotton in the quarantined areas.
Last year when workers of the fed
eral horticultural board were on the
ground. they tried out the airplane fol-
scouting work. In this way Inspector
Hensley of the board discovered sew
en- outlaw cotton fields n the heavily
wooded country along the Trinity riv.
err and around Galveston bay which
had escaped discovery.

these fires is that the ma
tional 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 I'd combated promptly.
Once a fol> 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, forest fire win run up
a mountain slope with tremendous
speed, creating its own draft as 1t
goes.
Airplane service would instantly de-
tect forest fire. II would reach the
spot promptly, with smothering gas,
firetighters, tools, provisions and ma
terials. If the national forests and
national parks are worth creating and
administering, they are worth preserv-
ing. The ordinary forest fire is a ca
iamlty. The big one is a catastrophe
In a twinkllng the growth of gem
erations is gone. Where a forest stood
there is desolation which win last for
many 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-
tant place for aircraft In fire protec-
ton of timberlands has been regard
ed by the forestry officials for some
time as beyond doubt. 1t was with this
sdea in mind that arrangements were
made to have army airplanes and cap
tive balloons cover portions of the ma
ttional forests of California, Arizona,
New Mexico and other states this sum-
mer. The patrolling was started early
in June and has so quickly proved it's
worth. that 1t was proposed to extead
the service to other points in the EAST,
including one near the White noun
tains in New Hampshire.
No difficulty is experienced by the
airmen In detecting fires in heavy tim
her from elevations of 5000 to 10000
feet.
At present the forest service relies
for the detection of fires partly on pa.
troll. usually by men on horses, motor
cycles. or railroad speoders, and partly
on watchers stationed on lookout
points. Aircraft have many points Of
obvious superiority over this method

The building opera tions in Norwich and vicinity have slowed up within the past two weeks, although con tractors report several projects in the works but have not materiaiized. One contractor has four to five projects that are hanging fire and another has three All contractors have made bids on certain plans for < dwelling houses but the contracts have not yet been ,. awarded. Several applications for smaller buildings such as garages and additions have been made dur ing the past two weeks. 7,
 The work on the. addition to the ga rage of W. F.. Bog,ie on North Main street Is well along, the walls having been raised to the roof and the win dow castings set in place. The ad- dition isSsituated just south of the present garage and is one story above the street level with base ment below affording room for repair work. The show room and offices will be located on the ground floor of the addition. R. ss Peck, ,a McWillianns has practically completed the work of repairing the building on Chestnut street, occupied by the Sussman Mattress factory. The exterior of the building is as before with corrogated iron sheeting while the interior has been considerably changed over giving better accommo- dations and more floor space
