DOING THE ROMANS

All Rome appeared to be in
flames. N every direction the sky
blazed with the light of reflected
fires, and from below rose sounds
of tumult and confusion. On bal
cony of the imperial palace stood
Nero. smiling out upon the burning
city-and ssrenely fiddling.
Beyond in an ante-chamber Ne
ro's auntie was ringing a fire-alarm.
In dashed Poppaea Sabina, Nero's
wife, wringing her hands. "Ohl OH!

full man! They say he had it set
afira himself-everybody's talking
about it,
why the old fire-bug!" exclaim-
ed Nero's auntie. "And there he
stands, playing that frightful fiddle
as If nothing had happened
wouldn't mind, only he's the worst
fiddler in Rome!"
In extrems agitation, Poppaea Sa-
bina rushed out upon the balcony.
MY Lord" she cried, forgetting in
her excitement to bow, Rome is
burning! Can'st thou not do some
thing about it?"
Without ceasing to fiddle the EN-
peror winked reassuringly at her.

FIRES DESTROYS MUCH
WILD LIFE

Protection of forests from fire
must go hand in hand with the con-
servation of game, the government
warns. Shelter and food are neces-
stiles in the lives of most animals
and birds. Both of these elements
are supplied by our forests and the
decrease of one or the other dimin-
ishes the number of valuable wild
creatures. Forest fires not only de-
stroy valuable timber but also elimi-
nate food and shelter for animals.
The belief that burning over in GER
tain localities is beneficial because
il promotes a new growth of grass
ignores the fact that grass thus OBJ
tanned does not compensate for the
destruction of trees and the shelter
and food required by animals.
Partridges in particular suffer
from brush fires. Indiscriminate
setting of fires dislodge deer, oppos-
sums, raccoons. foxes, squirrels and
rabbits and endangers ground-nest-
ing birds such as the woodcock,
pheasant, wild turkey, and whip
poor-will. The woodcock is in fair
way of being exterminated altogeth-
err. In seasons of drouth forest fires
invade marshy places and drive out
fur-bearing animals, waterfowl and

that his Democracy is not for sale,
and any Democrat who entered
such an unholy alliance should be
retired. The Ford offer. he says,
will ultimately be accepted with.
out a compromise or surrender OF
principle. The agriculture of the
country demands it and will put
it over. The ship subsidy. on the
other hand. he says. is pernicious
in every respect and cannot be
passed. 1t loads s75,000,000 an
nually on the people for the ope-.
ration of ships. and it is estimated
that s3o.o00.0oO Of this will go to

own. He says it is merely an

CRISIS IN

Foreign Financial Ex-

Situation is Most
Serious Since t h e

Berlin. Oct. % CBy the Asso-
.ciated Pressl The first dav:, Of
November, which once brought
revolution to Germany, again may
prove a fateful section of the cal
endar for the republic, in the. opin-
ion Of :, newspaper commentators
discussing today the Simultaneous
announcements that Germany has
invited foreign financial experts
here to advise her on the question
OF stabilizing the mark and that
the reparations commission also is
coming to Berlin.
The coincidence of the two Ia
test developments in Germany's
tiirbulent financial situation. says
the Boersen Courier, makes, it look
as If the authorities on both sides
we're trying to beat each other
to IT. on some definite decision.
The newspaper holds that the gov
ernment's invitation to the inser-
national experts is at least a ciey-
,er political move, since the affairs
to be dealt with are such as the
foreign countries will take a
hand in anyway. The fact that
Representatives of outside powers
have been asked to look over con-
ditions for themselves, the journal
adds, will make it easier for Ger
many later to oppose financial SUI
pervision.
The Boersen Zeitung thinks st
rings like a bad joke to hear that
the, very moment when the, fall in
the mark has driven German
finances to the edge of an abyss, the
reparations commission, under
initiative Of NJ. Barthou (the
French chairman of the. commits
;sion), is breaking its head over
the question how to squeeze
couple more billions Of paper out
of the German people through
new taxes, "

The Lokal Anzeiger believes the
inviting of the foreign experts to
Germany viii retard rather than
expedite an Improvement in the
mark. It declares that the best
German advice must already have
been summoned. The newspaper
calls attention. however, to the
fact that the visitors who have
been invited to discuss the situation
are, neutral and unbiased political
.ly.

To overcome all obstacles and to
guarantee q coordinated effort on
the part of all the farmers. it has
occurred to The Advertiser that
the legislature might enact law
making it criminal. offense for
any landowner to leave cotton
stalks in his fields after a certain
date which may appear reasonable.
For the landowner who rents out
his land. provision may be made
for him to transfer the responsible
ity by Incorporating in his rent
contract provision that the rent
er shall plow under his stalks as a
