OUR FORESTS

The chief enemy of the forest is not
the gypsy moth or any other insect,
but the aX and the fire of man. The
moth, like most insects, has q para
site which may be used to keep it In
order, but man has nothing except
himself to minimize his depredations
The saddest feature of forest destruc
ton in the United States is that most
OF it represents absolute loss and is
cue 10 fires, says the Boston Globe.
During the last five years S1,0O0,OOO
acres of wild land, which means about
four acres to each family, has been
burned over and all the young growth,
seedlings and saplings have perished.
Sparks from locomotives, Goals left
smouldering by campers, cigarettes
dropped carelessly. have kept the con-
fiagratiOn constant. Unless there Is
a change and forests are conserved in
stead of destroyed, America will be as
bald as Europe or the Near East,
where a bundle Of twigs is treasure
We cannot save our cilivizatiOn unless
we save our forests.

POOR SAlESMANSHIP.

Did you ever hear such a remark
as this: 1--WE gone into that store for
the last time I've been there two
or three times and each time I go In
with my mind made up as to what
want and come away with exactly the
thing / don't want?' asks the Omaha
Bee. The answer is that some clerk
more Jealous 10 make sale than to
please has messed things up very badly
for his establishment by inducing or
persuading this patron To buy an ar
any skillful clerk Is eloquent enough
to do such a thing If he sets his head
TO II. But the clerk who appreciates
the Indispensable value to his store
OF a satisfied customer Will hesitate
TO use his powers In that way. While
II is strictly the business OF the clerk
to make the best possible immediate
sale, II Is a larger part of his busi-
ness to build up and hold trade, and
that Is not done by cunningly forcing
a patron to choose between two ar
tcles the very one he especially OBJ
jects to, even though the margin Of
profit be wider than on the other.
Salesmansh!p is something of an in
exact science, as successful merchants
and statesmen, of course, realize. and
the more of the sound theories that
get into practice over the counter the
better for both the man behind the
counter and the one behind him. No
store can have more valuable asset
than satisfied customer

The decision of the admiralty To rely
for the future upon oil-burning ships
means a change greater than il is easy
To measure. The special monopoly
of Welsh coal, which gave 1t con-
stant market at high prices, goes.
That will not be without permanent
effects on the coal situation. eSpe-
cially as the big passenger steamers
are also turning 10 oil, says the West
minister Gazette. At present, apart
from other advantages, the admiralty
discovers a financial saving in burn
ing imported oil rather than home-pro-
duced coal.

Argentina is fortunate In having
men gifted along such lines as make
possible her recent expedition into the
Strait OF Magellan district. which re-
suited in the discovery Of rich fos-
siliferous deposits. in addition to other
things OF value, including peat and
coal. In the past, northerners have
usually taken the leadership In such
researches below the equator. Both
close proximity and considerations of
utility argue for similar activity by
South Americans. 1t is TO be hoped
that Argentina's example will be cop
led by her sister nations.

The medical corps of the navy Is
confronted by discOuraging situa-
ton. Approximately 600 vacancies
have occurred, and to fiji these va
cancies during the last year only six
medical officers have been appointed
from civil life and only 100 from the
reserve and temporary medical Ofii-
GERS. This situation is due largely TO
the fact that private practice is more
remunerative. Officers in the medical

= That fire losses In the United States
In 1920 reached a total OF more than
$5OO,0OO.OOO was the point to which
". f. Mallalieu. New York, president
Of the National Fire Protection asso-
tiation, drew the special attention of
delegates In opening the twenty-fifth
annual convention OF the organization
at San Francisco. Though there had
been no single great confiagration, he
said, accumulated carelessness had
produced loss almost equal to that of
1906, the year of the San Francisco
fire, and greater than that of any
other year In our history. He urged
that the convention must weigh this
fact carefully Fire prevention. he
said, is the outstanding problem of
human society upon this continent.
