Abolish Private Profits

Sir: If the Republican party wishes

Put Stop to Greed

Greed and hallucinations of world

Education az Main Issue

None of our great social and po-
ntical problems can be solved except
through education. Education for
citizenship in a democracy is a vital
question and one that concerns the
Federal government. The Importance
of this subject warrants the creation
Of Federal department of educa-
ton, with a Cabinet officer at its
head. One of the first tasks of this
new department should be to stop
the alarming number of designations
Of educators by raising salaries and
otherwise increasing the attractive
ness Of the teaching profession

AID FIGHT ON
FOREST FIRES
Wireless Telephone Proves to Be
Great Help.
IS TRIED OUT IN MONTANA
Equipment 10 Now Made Part Of the
Service In Western Substituted
States Signal Corps Standard Sets
Were Used In Experiment-Real
Test Comes In Destructive Fire In
Clearwater Forest.

The wireless telephone, as a result
of a seasons tryout. during which the
handicaps of packing" instruments
over a 30-mile mountainous trail, the
perils of passing through forest fire,
and numerous other tests were APP
piled, has been pronounced q success
for forest service work by officials of
the service according to an announce
ment from district headquarters at
Missoula, Mont.
Hereafter, the announcement says,
wireless telephone instruments are to
be a part of the standard equipment Of
the forest service.
At the direction of Chief Forester
William s. Graves, tests of this plan
of communication were initiated in this
district last season by r. B. Adams,
telephone engineer, who was assisted
by Everett Cutting. United States
signal corps standard sets were select
er for the experiment, and one was
placed in position, after almost In
terminable difficulties. at the Mud
Creek ranger station, near the Lola
Hot Springs, Mont, and another at
Beaver Ridge, Idaho.
Thirty Miles by Trail.
While the airline distance between
the two stations is but II miles, the
distance by trail is 80 miles, much
of it almost impossible even with
pack animals. At last, however, after
mishaps that included pack horses off
the trail, packs displaced and rolling
down mountainsides, and batteries and
equipment all but lost, the antennae
were hung high on convenient pines.
"The sets were used during the fire
season of 1919 In reporting fires and
otherwise In the carrying on of the
fire campaign with eminently salts
factory results" says the forest service
statement.
Hurried to a Raft.
The real test came during the de-
structive forest fires in the Clearwater
forest in northern Idaho.
"Over 80 miles of ordinary telephone
line was destroyed" the statement
says. 1.-THE trees from which the wire
was suspended were burned. TeIe-
phone communication was thus ended
and the efficiency of the fire-fghting
organization correspondingly reduced.
1t took over week to restore this
communication"
In marked contrast was the effect Of
fires sweeping near wireless stations.
With the flames dangerously near the
Beaver Ridge station the generator
promptly transferred the entire equip
ment to a hastily constructed log raft
which he had put afioat on nearby
lake, navigated to a safe distance from
shore and awaited the passing of the
fire. After the front had passed he
returned to shore, set up his equipment
and within I'm hour was making a re-
port of the cause of the interruption to
communication.

army, and the knight was his new
cook, who had overdOne the roast.

ears. He made an investigation and
found the new cook had lost her hus-
band early in the war. She became
a nurse at the front, where she showed
such bravery that the red ribbon deco
ration was awarded her.
