to have "man made" fires. Rather
mysterious, isn't it?-until one
finds party starting their camp
fire in the shade of pine grove,
having raked away only surface
layer of litter. And these good
people had assured the ranger
earlier in the day that they were
always extremely careful with FIRE.
They simply did not realize that
under the layer of needles and
sticks is layer, often several
inches deep, of semi-decomposed
material which will hold FIRE for
days, even after seeming thorough
doucing with water, and finally
blaze forth when famed by a
breeze"
Other fruitful sources OF fires are
the pitch root and the rotten log,
either on the surface or buried In
dirt. When starting your camp
fire avoid these as you would a keg
of explosive, because this sort of
material, even when rather damp,
burns like slow fuse, and may
result 10 conflagration after you
have returned to your home.
Here are some suggestions
approved by forest rangers for
avoiding forest fires:
If you really want to avoid start
ing trouble, keep your fire away
from trees, stumps and logs; dig
your fireplace FIVE or six feet wide
and down to real soil. If you STRIFE
root or rotten log, choose another
spot, since no amount of water will
make it safe; the. heat of your fire
will dry it to the "slow"fus=" con-
sistency. Don't leave for even IS
minutes WITHOUT FIRST putting your
fire completely OUT. *@s'
Secondly, be more careful with
matches and snipes. Last year.
FIVE fires were started on cne
district alone by careless smokers.
Finally, don't leave your camps
in a trashy condition. Burn empty
boxes, rags and papers, bury empty
tins and leave your camp ground
clean and fresh for the next party.

PRESIDENT-ELEcT MAKES FIRST
{,
SPEECH SINCE ELECTION.
Tells Home Folk That He has Come
Through Campaign Without -
Apology or Regret.

Marion, Ohio, Nov. 4.-Making mis-
first speech as president-elect, War
rem G. Harding declared at an elec-
ton. celebration of home folk nere
tonight that the Versailles league Of
nations was ''now deceased" al
though the new administration in
tended to see that the nation played
it's part in new international asso-
citation founded on peace and JUS
tice.
MIR. Harding also told his friends
and neighbors, who gathered around
the front porch in a cheering con-
course rivalling the greatest crowds
of the campaign, that he had come
through the fight without IAN apol-
ogy or regret" and that he would
rather not have the presidency than
to win it by speaking i'll or litter
ing a lie."
The celebration in which many
from other Ohio cities joined, was
characterized by all the carnival fea-
lures of an old political rally.
So great was the gathering that
the streets were jammed for a block
away and only a small part of those
present could hear the speech In a
parade past the Harding residence
there were many special features,
one man leading a donkey on whose
sides was painted Jimmie didn't
treat me right" while another group
carried dummy corpse; silhouetted
against a red fire background and la
belled "The League Of Nations.
It was from the latter tableau that
the president-elect took the cue for
the leading thought of. his speech
His reference to it started laugh
and then he said:

YOUR faces as l had apprehended
It's not that you or l question the
desire of America to play its part; IT.
not that we question the high ideals
of those who were responsible for the
Versailles covenant. You just dldn'
, want a surrender Of the Unltec
States of America; you wanted
America to go on under American
ideals. That's why you didn't care FOL
i the league which is now deceased.
"America is playing great par'

of the old world tonight as no Other
nation. But there is more to be
