TIE WASTE az ElREa

Three hundred and thirty four thou
sand dwellings at $4,000 each, suffic-
lent TO house 100000 persons, could
be built with the money lost in fires
In the United States from 1915 to 1920,
according to figures given out by the
National Board of Fire Underwriters.
The board places the national fire
loss during the five year period at ST.
672,722,677, based on an examination
of over 3,000,0o reports of fires.
Matches and smoking hazards are
held responsible for 100000 of the
losses, according to the report Next
comes electricity which caused fires
boilers and pipes caused a loss of s63.-
100000; defective ehimneys and flues,
$4,000, 000and exposure" which means
communicated fires, s233.0oo,ooo.
As basis of comparison, the un-
derwriters figure that the five-year
fire losses of the nation would build
$4,000 homes for the entire population
of Nevada. Wyoming and Connecticut.
They would erect 1922 school houses
at 100000 each; or would purchase
1872 grams of radium, the costliest
of earths products.
Sixty-seven per cent, 1856, 000, 900, of
the total loss was classed as strictly
or partly preventable
New York suffered most heavily
with a loss of s164.o 600; Pennsyl-
vania came second with $4,000. 600;
Illinois third with $4,000, 900. Follow
New Jersey. with $70,00o,0O0; Ohio
with $63,000,o00; Texas, $59, 600, 600:

BOY EXPLORER

An English boy in his early teens
has become so well known as q natu-
raj history student that he has been
invited to go on q great Nature Hunt
lasting three years. No boy has ever
gone on such a trip before.
Guy wernham. the young naturalist,
took up the collecting OF insects as
soon as he was old enough to run
about and catch them, and he has kept
working at his hobby ever since.
Nearly every boy at some time has
the collecting craze" but few make
such a study of collecting as Guy
Wernham has done.
Just think of an s.ooo-mile collect
ing trip" he says. mo wonder It APP
pealed to me when a collector for the
Natural History Museum offered to
take me out to West Africa to assist
him in the collecting Of specimens for
the Museum"
Guy will spend at least a year at the
home of the collector in Africa, which
is 40 miles from the nearest white
neighhor. Then he and his friend viii
make tour of the northern part Of the
French Cameroons and other parts of
northwest Africa. They are. going to
hunt particularly for bats, rats, SOUR
rels, monkeys and lenlurs.
The greatest fun Guy says, will
be night hunts for bats and moths
which we catch by spraying the trees
with mixture of rum and sugar and
by hanging mp rags soaked in essences
to attract them
And this is how they will catch mon

out to be something greater than he
ever dreamed Of.

REALISM

With Guileless heart and open mind,

The truth.

And he, trifle wistful told
Me this:
Though richer than an ancient king
Ny wealth affords me scant delight;
For money isn't everything"
Hes right.
And then of him whose envied mamie
Is known wherever words are read
asked the truth concerning fame.
He said:
''Fame in single day may die.
Fame in single hour may flee.
A floating bubble. Fame" .....wcn, I.

THE MODERN BOY

When father was a growing lad
He never got to so
To see his favorite movie star
In any picture show.
He never took an auto ride,
Or saw a skating rink;
He never played a photograph
Or pianola. Think!
He never heard an orchestra
That makes you deaf with jazz;
He never heard of "goof' or Slick"
I'm tell the world" or "raZE."
He never wore a leather coat;
Low shoes in winter? My!
Or dosed his hair with brilliantine,
Or wore a nifty tie.
The things that father used to do
Would in these days be slow.
Does he regret the things he's missed
Just hear him heller, 'Nos's

RECOGNIZE VALUE OF TREES
People Awake to the Necessity a.
Their Presence for the. Proper
Landscape Effect

With the growing interest In forest
~, the landscape effect Of the trees
used for reforesting purposes should
not be overlooked. AS country homes
increase In number, the esthetic fea-
lures In both cultivated areas and
woodlands become more and more i'm
portant, writes F. w. Kelsey in the
American Forestry Magazine. Progress
In this direction in the United States
may be classified into three distinct
periods.
1. The early clearing Of the native
woods growth with waste and destruc-
ton alike Of the natural foliage effects
and the irreparable loss Of the timber
supply, without consideration being
given to future needs.
2. The awakening to a realization OF
this suicidal policy as manifested In
the conservation movement, which has
now become q subject Of nationwide
Importance. =
3. The prospective period when the
beauty Of the forest growth will In the
treatment Of forestry land be recog-
nized as an important factor OF de-
velopment In connection with the utili-
tartan purposes Of the forest.
The fact Is now everywhere ap-
preciated that a treeless landscape Is
like q treeless city, an unattractive
and depressing sight.
