Of these young women one-third
are now finishing their first year Of
school teaching, and another third
are teaching school for the last time
Some of them are going into bus,-

TO LOCATE FOREST FIRES IN
THIS COUNTY BY AIRPLANE
Warden Merton and Pilot Cleveland !
viii Work In Conjunction.

| Scouting in an airplane for forest
! fires in Garrett and Allegany counties
! is the latest conception Of plane SER
vice, and James Morton, Frostburg
automobile dealer and county forest
warden, has the distinction of being
! the first in the United States to con-
ceive the idea: E. W. Cleveland, for
merly in the government airplane ser
vice, who purchased a plane for the
purpose of establishing a school of in
structiOn in Frostburg, expects to
work in conjunction with Mr.. Morton
in scouting for forest fires in West
ern Maryland.
Numerous fires of unknown origin
have been started during the past few
months and caused the destruction of
thousands of dollars worth Of property
in valuable timber While the tele-
! phone and observation station, which
was recently installed on Dams Rock.
is an aid in the discovery of possible
fires, origin of the fires has never been
determined. 1t is Mr.. Morton's in
tention to penalizze the parties start
ing such fires. The airplane solves the
problem.
/ Forest fire laws for the State of Ma
ryland impose $1,000 fine, or one years
Imprisonment, or both, for carelessly
or willfulIy setting fire to any woods
or brush on another's property.
| The cost of eXtinguishing a fire and
all damages resulting therefrom rests
upon anyone who allows fire to escape
from his land to the injury of adioin-
ing property.
A fine is imposed for operating any
coal or wood burning engine in or near
forest land without a spark arrester.
A fine is also imposed for failure to
eXtinguish, or report to the nearest
forest warden, any forest fire not I'M
der control.
The law empowers the wardens to
arrest without warrant, violators of
the forest laws; to summon any man
between 18 and 30 years to help fight
/ fire and to fine for refusal, and to en-
ter on any property without liability
J for trespass when engaged in sup
pressing fire.

State FOrester's Plan Receives Earn

state FORESTER ran HecelNeS Earn
est Backing of Mr.. MackaH.
For several years State Forester F.
". Besley has been advocating and
urging that the State road system,
known nationally as one of the best in
the country, and for that reason an
invitation to tourists to visit the COM
monwealth, be beautifed and, in eff
feet, completed by the planting of
trees.
John n. Mackall chairman and chief
engineer Of the State Roads Commits
sion, recently declared his enthusiastic
approval of such a program and ex-
pressed the hope that communities and
individuals would get behind a move
ment to make the plan an actuality.
The State Forester has gone so far
as to prepare plans for roadside plant
ing, and offers the advice of his office
in the matter of selecting varieties to
plant and the supervision by his for
esters of the actual planting. At Col
lege Park the State has a nursery in
which several thousands of trees have
been grown, and are available, as far
as they go, for the Identification of
the State.
There has been some interest mani
Tested in the idea on the part of a
few of the communities of the State,

State Forester and the State Roads
Commission some planting has been

Cork, September 6.-Represeata- tives of the transport workers union this morning took possession of the offices of the Harbor board owing to the refusal of the board to grant the employees a minimum wage of sew enty shillings a week, and the red flag was floating from the building at midday.
 The transport men propose to run the business themselves and pay the wage demanded, but are encounter ing difficulties since the books and records are locked in the safes.
 Sir James Long, secretary of the harbor board, declined as public servant to surrender the offices but the transport workers insisted and he departed.

 IN MANDATE NOTE
American Position Transmit ted to Allies for League of Nations Con-

By Associated Press

Washington, September s.-The position of the American govern ment on the question of mandate. has been set forth more completely Chan heretofore, especially in re- ference to those of class "A" an5 "B'' in new note to Great Britian France, Italy and Japan and throuf, h some of them, it Is understood, has been submitted to the meeting of t.e assembly of the League of Nations al Geneva, for consideration.
 Announcement was made at the state department today that the note was dispatched last week but no ln- timation was given as to when ii would be made public, if at all.
 Although officials would not dis cuss the matter it is understood 1t was forwarded after inquires had been received by some of the powers as to the American attitude on the "A" and 'B' mandates for their guidance in possibly considering the allotment of some of the former enemy territory at the Geneva meet ing.
 Took Strong stand Early
 As early as May 12, 1920, the Amer ican government had taken a strong stand against the setting up of any special privileges in mandate terri tories espeeially as involving the oil lands of Mesopotamia and the cable privileges of the Pacific Island of Tap, the latter claimed as e" man date by Japan. In note of February 2l, this year, Secretary Colby gave warning that the approval of the United States was necessary to vali- date any mandate, a sanction which

 Engineer Keller told the assocla- ton that there were enough project ,agreements on file in Washington to take up Alabama's part of the approprlation but unfortunately there was not enough money in the state treasury to match the fund, dollar for dollar and the project agreements cannot be carried out until the state has the funds because the federal appropriation is contingent on the matching of the amount by some other means. He urged members of the association to continue to talS the state bond issue, which, he said, was the only means of matching the federal appropriation and to give tbair Support to it.

The regulations call for re- lection of all applicants "who are not of good moral character" or who have not sufficient education to give promise of becoming good soldiers without the necessity of instruction ordinarily given in public schools"
 Secretary Weeks said no recruiting stations would be opened and no re- cruiting detachments would be used in cities to canvass for recruits.
 The enlisted strength of the army at present was said to be less than 14s, ,000 men, 1t being decreased from 220,000 since last March by resigna- tions approved and discharges, made as enlistments expired,
