AERIAL FORESTERS.

This is the beginning of the third sea
son in the use of airplanes for fighting
forest fires. There is daily service over
the California forests, and it is prob
ably only a matter of time before this
method of forest protection will be gem
orally established
This is one of the finest uses to which
the airplane has yet been put. In locat
ing telltale smoke the airplane observer
can be absolutely accurate. His vision
covers a wider area at any given time
than the ground Observers, and his warn
ing, turned in by wireless from the air.
can be given more quickly than by the
oldtime ranger Under the California
system the airplane scouts message is
turned over to the United States forest
service rangers when the fire is in a ma
tionaI forest or to state rangers when it
is outside the national forest boundaries.
Millions of acres of both public and pri-
vate forest land are thus kept under care
full observation and given the surest pos
sibIe protection.
In many places the airplane is used
not only for detecting the fires, but for
directing the ground forces which combat
them.
Early discovery of forest fires means
much in their extinguishment, and is
next best, perhaps, to prevention in the
first place. The picturesqueness of the
airplane as fire-fghter is helpful in in
teresting the public in forest protection.
Public sentiment is moving forward
swiftly to better appreciation of the
value of forests lands, the Importance of
their protection and the part of the pub
lie in giving its aid in funds and in care

The late Chief Justice White certainly
ought to have known how to make a will
if anybody in America did. 1t may be of
general interest, therefore, to learn what
kind of Will he made. The document has
just been made public.
The most notable thing about it is its
brevity. 1t contains only 81 words, and
reads as follows:
This is my last will. 1 give, bequeath
and devise to my wife, Leita NJ. White
in complete and perfect ownership, all
my rights and property of any kind and
nature, whether real. personal or mixed
wherever situated, appointing her exec
utrix of my estate without bond and Civ
ing her seizin thereof"
Contrast this straightforward state
ment with the elaborate flubdub that
messes up the average will The form
used by Justice White, in spite of its
simplicity, is presumably proof against
all attack. 1t may serve as a convenient
model for any man who wants to make
his wife his sole heir. as most men do,
and may also serve as a stimulus for
more men to perform the sensible duty
of making their wills while they have
time, thereby avoiding the danger of con-
fusion and difficulty after death.
1t is necessary. of course, to have the
document signed by witnesses. and is no
doubt better, whether state law requires
it or not, to nave it witnessed by a no.

A picture of President Harding with
the Stars and Stripes as a background
didn't raise a ripple of applause in a
Brattleboro movie" house, but a few
minutes later glimpse of Georges Car
pentier, French heavyweight fighter,
evoked considerable applause 1t is
scarcely fair to measure the patriotism of
the audience by the comparison, but it is
extremely odd that the sight of the Presi-
dent of the United States and the appear
ance of the American flag could not ex-
cite a single sound of applause while a
foreign exponent of the prize ring was
able to shake the people out of their
lethargy, or Indifference. Surely that does
not represent the standard of our Ameri-
canism.

him to the highest fame and which at any

The plight of the six ex-service men CON
fined in the Brattleboro Retreat merits the
attention either of the American Legion
or of one of VermOnt's representatives in
congress. 1t appears that only one of the
six is receiving any compensation, al
though Superintendent Lawton has long
ago reported all the cases in detail to the
public health service
