Woman In Hospital
With Severe c. &c
of Beach SIInburn

PHILADELPHIA, June 27-So severe
a case of sunburn was contracted at
Atlantic City by Mrs. Anna Dole, 20, that
she is in the Hahnemann Hospital re-
ceiving precisely the same treatment
given to persons burned IN fire.
Mrs Doyle spent two days at Atlantic
City. She dressed in her bathing suit
and went into the ocean at intervals
throughout the day, lying most OF the
time upon the sand. enjoying a 'sun
bath" for a nice coat Of tan to bring
home with her.
So hot was the sun and so tender her
skin that she began to blister, and soon
the burns showed up so seriously that
she was taken to the hospital. The
physicians there diagnosed the case as
second degree burns.
Physicians at the hospital explained
such cases by saying that person who
goes into the ocean and then comes out
again is covered with tiny drops of salt
water and the natural oil in the skin
causes these drops of water TO take a
more or less globular form. Thus each
drop becomes a miniature magnifying or
burning glass" which concentrates
the rays OF the sun upon the skin be-
meath.

zlvAsHINGTON, June 27.-rwenty-
Bur gates. or more. win receive 100000
Yof Federal funds for the protection Of
their forest lands from fires during the
fiscal year beginning July 1, according
to a statement by the forest service Of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture This cooperation was first
authorized By the act of March l, 1911,
commonly known as the Weeks Law,
and has continued ever since. Last year
$125.0o0 was appropriated for the work,
Abut Congress this year, realizing the I'M
ortance CT free prevention in our for

- be expended. At least three more
States are expected to join the ranks or
cooperatorS shortly.
Allotments Of money for forest pro-
lection are made by the forest service to
individual States on the basis of I per
cent OF the estimated cost OF adequate
FIRE protection in that particular State,
with the limitation that the maximum
allotment cannot exceed So, 900. Both
figures depend upon and vary with the
size Of the Federal appropriation for this
work received from year to year. For
estry experts believe that the ideal ap-
portionment OF protection expense would
be: Federal Government. % per cent;
States, % per cent; private owners. 90
per cent, but this is not possible at
present
The four important limitations gov
erning Federal cooperation in nre Pro-
lection under the Weeks law are:
/ 1t is extended only to States that
have provided by law for compre-
hensive system Of fire protection.
IL limited the watersheds
Of navigable streams.
g. The State must expend an
amount at least equal to the Federal
appropriations for that State.
4. Fire protection must include
not only merchantable timber, but
also young growth and cut-oyer
lands in other words, it must cover
all classes OF forest land.
The basis of this Federal cooperation
is the recognition by the Government Of
the Nations interest in keeping the for
est lands Of our country continuously
productive, especially on the watersheds
of navigable streams, and the further
recognition of the fact that the Nation
should bear a part Of the cost of the
work.
With FIRE danger minimized or limi-
mated, foresters say the problem OF keep
ing forest lands continuously producing
timber and erosion and foods partly con-
trolled will be greatly simplifed, and
it is TO help the States and private own
ers to do this very thing that the CO.
operation under the Weeks law is car
ried on.
The following table shows the esti-
mated area Of forest land requiring pro-
lection and the amount Of Federal funds
that will be available to States with
which 4 cooperative agreement now
exists, providing they qualify under the
limitations set forth.

Remarkable Phosphate Dis
covered By French Scientist
Increases Weight and Strength
of Thin, Weak People in Two
Weeks Time in Many Cases.

All that most weak. nervous, thin,
mentally depressed people need 10 ten
grains of pure organic phosphate (such
as Bitro- Phosphate) with each meal for
few weeks. That Is what nerve spe-
cialiats In London, Paris and New York
are prescribing with wonderful results.
Dr. Frederick S. Kolle, author of med
ical text books and editor of n. Y.
physicians who's Who" declares: "It
would be a Godsend II more weak, thin,
nervous men and women were aware OF
the efficacy of Bitro- Phosphate" Haag's
Drug Stores and leading druggists every
where have a brisk demand for Bitro-
Phosphate because OF its power to help
revitalize the nerves, increase bodily
weight and bring back energy and men
tai keenness.
CAUTION-Although Bitro- Phosphate
Is an excellent aid In relieving weak.
nervous conditions, its use is not ad-
vised unless increased weight is desired.

Finally the boat propelled by oars or
sweeps came into being and met the need
of that time as means of extending COM
merce beyond the narrow confines of one
locality. Though the progress of the boat
upstream was slow and laborious, time in
those dimly distant days was not much of
an object, and the Rowboat became the &C
copied means of travel by water, both for
the transportation of goods and to take
people from one place to another.
The Boat or Ship has been used from
time immemorial as symbol of Commerce
and Progress, and it is so used-and most
fittingly, we think-to herald and typify the
great Pettis July Sale.

The trip was espe- eitlly eniightening Co the students, and many points of interest were not 1 ed.
 \ great variety of work is being l done in the machine department at the Trade school The enrolment in this department Is heavy. every machine being utilized every hour of the day.
 Of special importance is the grade ! of tool work, making of small machine parts, and the assembling of machines generally.
 The boys are usually started in this department in learning the names of various parts of the lathe This idea ] is carried out on the other machines along with the regular instruction re- quired in the producing of some use : ful article
 All through the summer months Mr Boearius and the students were busy with mary repairs on equipment. This with View to better products as well as the value of the training that the boys get in making these repairs.
 Ii is pleasing Co note the develop ment of the students judgment, not ing the change from crude ideas to q keenness of perception in connection wifh his trade that to the casual ob- server amounts to almost second sense. An instance of this Is to be seen in the hardening and proper tenn pering of steel The hardening and tempering at the Trade school Is done by means of a gtsf furnace.
 l. is necessary that the students judgment be so developed as to enable him to decide at what heat the steel should be quenched He must know when the proper color is reached and ia passing from the furnace to the quenching bath no time can be lost and the dipping must be carefully done. He must know the theory and be capable of carrying it into prac- ticc in his work.
 All students of the machine depart ment spend one-third of their time in related subjects. This .nclndes me- chanical drawing, mathematics and shop talks.

 In spite of the fact that victory was assured in the first quarter, the team played hard game throughout. Sey- eral of the subs were given their first chance in game.
