The word is derived from a custom
once common In Polynesia and New

Airplane Patrol
for Forest Fires

by doing this, we missed seeing some
OF the country the patrol is expected
to cover. A forest patrol by aircraft
is more hazardous than the flying that
is usually done.
MY pilot made me understand that
our trip scared him more than any
ether trip he had ever made, simply
because he could not make his plane
attain the elevation necessary for rela-
tive safety. He said he would take no
r,ore passengers in the future. To
&c so would mean that he could cover
only portions of the forest which could
be seen from the lookout points.

Federal Forest Service Is Making
Experiments With Army
Machines.
FORESTER TELLS ABOUT TRIP
Gives Interesting Account Of Expert
ences Together with Observations
as to Feasibility Of This
Method of Fire Detection.

Washington, d. C.-Airplane fire pa
troll of the national forests by army
machines was begun as an experiment
for the forest service recently. The
first report from forester has just
come to headquarters here after an
exciting observation flight from Mather
Field made over the southern patrol
route in California, covering portions
Of the Eldorado and Stanislaus forest
preserves.
The trip was taken by Assistant Dis
trict Forester How for the collection of
data as to the feasibility of this novel
method of fire detection; what should
be done to fight the flames. If pos
sIble from the plane; how alarms may
promptly be given; what style of plane
or balloon is best adapted, and what
additional apparatus may be necessary

more effectually safeguarding remote

cally unexplored country from the
scourge which annually destroys thou

Tells Stirring Tale.
Forester How not only covers all
these interesting points, but tells a
stirring tale of adventure in doing So
After describing his preparations for
the trip. he continues:
MY pilot was Sergeant Mckee, who
is one of the army flying instructors.
The plane we used was Curtiss JM-1
with an OX-5 motor. There are no con-
trolls in front. so all / had to do was
to sit strapped to my seat. We start
eG about nine O'Clock. / had heard so
much of persons becoming nauseated
that / was expecting to feel funny, but
never had that kind of a symptom.
My impression was tAat we were stand
lug still, when in fact we were going
~ miles an hour. We flew up the
American valley to placerville; thence
II Chinese, ten miles southeast of So
nora.
con the trip we saw five fires. all of
which were outside Of the forest boun-
,aries. The largest was near Placer
vile and had been burning week.
"The country is so rugged that a
landing could not have been made to
fight fire without a crash. The pilot
agreed to this and steered to the west
IF the peak instead Of to the east, and

Ing to the tail spin he put tn, ma
chine through in descending to Mather
Field. had no warning and felt as
IL we were going down series Of
cCrkscrew curves at a terrific rate. The
earth looked like an ocean during a
heavy sea. We dropped 1900 feet in
this manner and then gracefully vol.
planned to the field within hundred
feet Of the hangar. Our total flight
time was about four hours and the dis
lance covered $50 miles.
"Fires have already been detected
from airplanes that have not been
picked up by the lookout man. There
is no question in my mind that it is
the most feasible method Of prompt
fire detection. / believe. however. that
the expense of establishing such pa
troll would be prohibitive for the for.
est service.
81 am convinced more than ever that
the dirigibIe with helium gas will be
the type of ship we shall use in the fu-
ture. I predict that within five years
our present system Of lookout patrol
will practically be thing Of the past
and also that the suppression of forest
fires will commence Immediately after
discovery. In other words, the fire
fighting forces will accompany the OBJ
server in a dirigible. When a fire Is
discovered one or two men will climb
down and put 1t out There will then
be different methods of fire suppress
sion than we now use. IT will be pos
slble to carry large tanks Of water and
motors to pump 1t on a fire. Chemi-
calls, perhaps, may also be used"

MILK AND CREAM DEFINITION
Of Food and Drugs Act Published
In Circular.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Definitions and standards for milk
and cream adopted by the joint COM
mittee on definitions and standards
and approved by both the Association
of American Dairy, Food and Drug
Officials and the Association of Off,
cial Agricultural Chemists, to be used
as guide for the enforcement Of the
food and drugs act, have been published
by the United States department Of ag-
riculture in circular, Food Inspec-
ton Decision 49,"
Milk Is defined as the whole, fresh,
clean, tactical secretion obtained by
the complete milking of one or more
healthy cows, properly fed and kept,
excluding that obtained within Is days
before and five after calving, or such
longer period as may be necessary to
render the milk practically colustrum
free.
Pasturized milk Is milk that has
been subjected to temperature not
lower than 145 degrees Fahrenheit for
not less than 80 minutes. Unless It
is bottled hot, it is promptly cooled
to so degrees Fahrenheit or lower.
Skinned milk is milk from which
substantially all Of the milk fat has
been removed.
Buttermilk is the product that re-
mains when fat is removed from milk
or cream, sweet or sour. In the proc
ess of churning
Cream, sweet cream, is that portion
Of milk, rich In milk fat, which rises
to the surface Of milk on standing, or
is separated from it by centrifugal
force. It Is fresh and clean 1t con-
tains not less than IS per cent of milk
fat and not more than 2-1O per cent
Of acid-reacting substances calculated
in terms of Tactic acid.
Whipping cream is cream which con-
tains not less than 80 per cent Of
milk fat.
Homogenized milk or homogenized
cream is milk or cream that has been
mechanically treated In such manner
as to alter its physical properties with
particular reference to the condition
and appearance Of the fat globules.
The composition Of the milk pro-
duced by different breeds Of dairy cows
varies so greatly, say the food officials,
that it is not practicable to fix stand
ard which is applicable in all locali-
ties in the United States and its ter
ritories. 1t is therefore, left to the
state and municipal authorities to
adopt such standards as their local
production conditions may warrant.
