Effect of Forest Fires
On Game Presentations

Washington, d. c., August 22-By
the Associated Press)-Of interest,
in connection with many reports of
destructive forest fires in several sec
tions of the country, is a circular of
the Biological Survey of the L. s. De-
rartment of Agriculture stressing the
effect of such fires on game and game
preservation. \ fire which RACES over
any large area destroys NOT only the
birds and other game themselves, but
their food am shelter; and though
one take little interest in forest fire
prevention for the sake of preserving
the trees, he may be more interested
in saving the game anC fish.
Decrease of ono or both of the Gle
monts of food and shelter means a
corresponding decrease in the number
of valuable wild creatures. The be-
lief that burning over in certain To-
calitics is beneficial because 1t pro-
notes new grass: ignores the fact that
the grass thus obtained docs not COM
pcnsate for the destruction of the
trees ana shelter and food required
Ivy the animals, says the Survey.
cartridges in particular suffer from
forest or brush fires When their
Evorite places are burned over and
their food and shelter arc gone they
are obliged to seek new localities and
face new dangers.
lndiscriminate setting of spring
fires in the Southci states dislodges
deer. opossums, raccoons, foxes,
squirrels, rabbits and other animals
and endangers ground nesting birds
in the timber, such as woodcock,
pheasant, wild turkey and the whip
poor-will. The woodcock is in some
danger of determination at the pres
ent time, it is pointed out, and de-
serves all possible protection.
In seasons of drought forest fires
even invade marshy places and drive
out fur bearing animals as well as
waterfowl, and shorebrds, it has been
found. Many think that burning re-
suits in only temporary inconveni-
ence to the game and do NOT realize
that the food of many birds is largely
the seed and berries of the year be-
fore.
Burning brush also eliminates for
months all shelter from natural cne

NOT SAFE TO ASSUME

A committee of ten has been ap-
pointed by the Chamber of Commerce
to find out what is the exact condi-
ton of the fuel situation in Augusta.
When this committee shall learn just
what is needed and who need it then
will be a chance to ASST in socur-
ing those needs. AS Secretary Clark
says in his letter this committee can
do various things, such as induce
farmers to cut hardwood, import
hardwood from the North woods, or
ganize wood cutting squads and buy
stumpage for them to work upon. 1t
isn't safe to assume there will be no
need Of all this.

BOSTON PRINTING EXPOSITION

The second Educational Graphic
Arts Exposition will be held at the
Mechanics Building in Boston, Aug.
2S-Scpt. .. The watchword of the
society is "Share Your Knowledge"
Printers, paper manufacturers,
newspaper publishers, book binders,
photographers. electrotypers will all
congregate and have on exhibition
the best of their production in actual
operation. The smallest paper mill
in the world will change wood pulp
into bond paper. Type setting will
be shown from the casting of hand
set type to the present work of the
linotype machine. Cuts and-~plates
by electrotype and phototype will be
made by expert operators. One of
the most unique exhibits will be the
making of printers ink.
Probably the majority of the visit
ors will be most interested in watch
ing the issuin gof a daily newspaper.
There will be both composing room
and a press room, and every stage in
the production of the newspaper
may be seen from the time the copy
goes to the composing room until the
paper comes from the press.
AS a quaint contrast to the modern
high-power presses there will be on
exhibition the first printing press.
1t was brought to this country from
England in 1859 by stephen Daye.
At present this little press belongs to
the Vermont Historical Society. 1t
will be sent from Montpelier, VT, to
Boston on a special truck. 1t is es
timated that a modern press can do
as much in a day as this press could
do in a year.
The distinguished guest of honor at
the exposition will be Benjamin
Franklin's great great -granddaught-
or. Mrs. Ellen Duane Davis of Phila-
delphia. Examples of famous his
toric printing will be on exhibition in
Honor Hall and here, also, exhibitors
will display their best works.

A COMMISSION is NEEDED

We are not much infatuated with
government commissions but they
may be made an agency for
getting at facts which otherwise
might be kept con d. The coun-
try, having suffered by reason of the
coal controversy and aving paid ex-
orbitantly is entitled to know what
1t is paying for, to know just what
are the condition 1T it may make
an intelligent effort to improve them.
The only way in which this may be
brought about so far as anyone can
sec is through the instrumentality of
a 'lmisson to investigate the facts.
Congress is considering provisions
for such Il commission with lease of
iite for a year and power to collect
data ,oXarainc books and summon
Witnesses. Under the bill as intro
Guccd the membership We Id be linn
itcl to nine. none to be members of
congress ana inIhlHS 10 pioNlSloH
requiring operators or miners on the
commission.
How this would get around the in
junction granted some months ago in
the Maynard coal case by the court of
the District Of Columbia which re-
strained the Federal trade commits
sion from asccrtaining the facts to
be sought by this prescnt commission
isn't clear at this writing. A way
Should be found and parties interest
cd should be compelled to present the
facts. This isn't a very smart coun-
try if it can't get ton of coal from
mine to consumer for less than is
now being paid.

A CURSE OF THE UNIONS

While the raid on the Offices of the
Trades Union Educational League in
Chicago did not, it is said, reveal any
information connecting the head of
that organization with the horrible
train wreck at Gary, it did result in
the collection of lot of data showing
the efforts Of the Russian soviet pro-
pagandists to spread the poison that
has made of Russia a country to be
fed by those countries favored with a
decent government.
The head Of this organization is
William Il. Foster, who was ordered
out of Colorado, and who is said to be
one of the most dangerous radicals
~ large. Outrages have followed in
the wake OF this malcontent and even
though he may not be proved under
the law responsible for them he may
be likencd to the skunk that makes
its presence known in the neighbor-
hood by the smell.
Whoever wrecked that train, mur-
dcring ombcrs of the Brotherhood,
and those who put dynamite on the
tracks of another road did these
things with the manifest intent of
starting a reign Of terror. They may
have held membership in the labor
unions. but not for the purpose of
helping their fellow unicnsts. The
spirit that is scourgin- Russia knows
not even honor among thieves. Those
who are now committing outrages in
this country under the i~"itemcnt of
that spirit have no Compunctions.
They are bound by no sense Of allie
glance to anything save their mad
desire to reign with the furies. The
labor unions are cursed by them, as
are all with WIZ they come in con-
tact.

IT develops that the young Bostonl-
an killed while racing on the Massa- :
chusctts highway after smashing two
smaller cars and injuring their oc-
cupants had long record for speed
ing and reckless driving, his license
being twice suspended. This illus
tratcs tho fundamental fallacy in
dealing with spccdCrs and reckless
drivers. Had this man, after it had
been proved that he would neither
promise, been barred from driving,
something effective would have been
accomplished. The cautions and sus-
pension of license and repeated ar
rests for infractions of the law made
apparently absolutely no impression
on him. And his course showed that
he had as little regard for the rights
or safety Of others on the highway
as for the laws of the State, clearly
the sort of person Who should not he
permitted to operate a machine
When YOU read of persons charged
with reckless driving being lcnieHtly
dealt with it may he expected that
reckless driving will continue until,
as in this case, a fatality puts a stop
to the speed maniac's career. 1t is
false kindness to let reckless driv-
crs go with nominal penalty. The
second offense ought to be followed
by revocation of the license. The
only effective method of dealing with
that sort Of person is to prevent
them operating a car.

Some people talk as though they
thought the President of the United
States was elected to settle strikes,
to dig coal, to run railroads, to run
trains with troops which aren't in
existence. They do not suggest
anyone to attend to the other duties
dcvolving on the President, enough to
keep a mighty goal man busy. OF
course the President is in a way to
help straighten out such matters.
but should not be expected to do the
work which governors Of states
should themselves do, not expected to
settle disputes between capital and
labor, but he is expected to do his
utmost to see that these interests
obey the country's laws. This coun-
try is now obsessed with the fad Of
letting the government do every
thing. The President soon will be
expected to hold the handkerchief
for the country to blow its nose.

Those Internal Headlights!
Augusta, Me, August 81, 1922

Editor of the kennebec Journal:
Dear Sir:--As it is not my nature to
always be growing and finding fault
with everybody and everything, but al
ways enjoy the opportunity Of speak
ing in complimentary terms of things
that merit praise. l will gladly bear
testimony through your paper. by your
permission, to the fact that if the OBJ
jcct and purpose of the modern head
light that is used on most all automo-
biles is to blind and dazzle tho eyes of
those who are driving in the opposite
direction, then | will testify that il is
doubtful in my mind if Thomas A. Edi-
son, the great inventor could devise
anything that would work more effec-
tually. For last Thursday evening
while 1 was driving my Old Ticon-
deroga in from East Winthrop | met,
we'll to give the exact number, it was
approximately some less than 500 au-
tomobiles, and from the time that
each one of thcm got within 1e rods
Of me until il was past l was obliged
to guide my car almost entirely by
guess, for all before me aside from
those two white glaring balls of fire
was as black as Egyptian darkness. If
I had been blindfolded | could not
have driven it much better than l did
during those short periods of darkness.
therefore / think that the much test
ing and trying out, ana experimenting.
with much painstaking. has brought
the headlight to the height of perfec-
tion and the shadow Of death. Fur
thermore, allow me to use this oppor-
tunity to say that this is the first and
only article that ! have ever written
for the Journal that my wife was will
ing for me to send in. She was with
me that evening enjoying all the pleas
urcs of that ride, feeling all the time
that she was as safe as she would be
in powder mill. or crossing the At
lantic in an airplane, and wishes 70
add her compliments to the headlight.
