LIVES THREATENED,
DRY AGENTS CLAIM
Washington Men Say Balti-

Pool for Their Lives.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, November 2i.-The
lives of two Washington prohibition
agents operating in Baltimore have
been threatened and two of them,
Johnathan Paul and ]. H. Estes, have
appealed to the federal and local au-
thorities for protection. They claim
that they have received letters
threatening their lives if they did
not leave the city within forty eight
hours and that local bootleggers
have formed a pool of $4,000 for the
man or men who will kill them.
The agents, who have figured in sew
eral sensational raids on clubs and
hotels here, recently appealed to AS
sistant United States District Attor-
ney Morton p. Fisher and asked aid
in arresting the men who are said to
be plotting against them.
Authorities in Washington also have
been asked to aid in the search, and
the agents are taking extra precau-
tions against attack. Paul told Dis
trict Attorney Fisher that he received
from friend of his in which it was
stated a band of Italians had collect :
ed $4,000 to be paid to the men who
knock off" the two agents.
The letter is said to have stated
that the assassins intend to wait for
Paul in front of his home and kill
him. Estes stated that he received a
telephone call this morning from an
unknown man, who warned him that
he had only forty-eight hours to live,
unless he got out of town.
Local police authorities have also
taken a hand in the matter and are
endeavoring to run down several
clues. The police, while doubtful that
the bootleggers would go to this eX-
tent, are taking no chances, as the
feeling against Washington prohibi-
tion officers operating here is very
strong.

IN r. JAMES M. McELRoY.
Of Chicago. writes me that
- about 9:46 p. m. July 81,
while standing on the lake front
near his home, he saw q ball of
fire, much larger and brighter
than any Of the planets, which
descended from an elevation of
about so degrees above the east.
ern horizon, and after two or
three seconds disappeared 30 or
80 degrees from the horizon. Its
path was not vertical, but inclined
little toward the south. It had
the appearance of q flaming body
dropped from an aaroplane, but
Its inclined direction OF fall
seemed to the observer to rule
out that superstition, and he con-
cluded that It was a metorite.
It's lower border, he says, seemed
to have q well-defined edge.
while behind was a trail OF dim
inishing light about twice as
long as broad, pear-shaped, and
narrowing somewhat toward the
extremity.
Since there were thousands OF
people on the lake front that Sat-
urday night, DR.. McElroy be-
lieved that many Of them must
have seen the fire bali. and he
counted on hearing, or reading,
something about it. But he was
disappointed. On the assumption
that 1t was e. meteor, he expected
to learn that il had fallen some
where in the East, perhaps as far
away as New York.
Although I have reason to
think that the people of Chicago
are exceptionally wide awake to
astronomical phenomena, yet I
cannot share Dr. McElroy's sur
prise that, OF all those thousands,
no one gave evidence of having
paid the least attention to q phs-
nomenon so iEfrequently wit
messed, and so suggestive Of the
most astonishing conclusions con-
corning the contents OF the space
that yawns around the earth, as
the fall, through cur atmosphere,
Of q conspicuous meteorite. But
meteoriteS are not negotiable,
and few there are who would pay
five cents admission to see one
blaze its way across the sky.
A Mysterious Object.
Yet meteorite is possibly the
most mysterious Of all objects.
1t is composed Of familiar sub
stances, such as pure metallic
iron, or minerals in the form Of
stone: it has every appearance Of
having once formed part of u
star or OF a planet, but nobody
can make more than e guess as
to It's place or manner of origin.
A meteorite may have wandered

NO u. S. PAPER FOR EUROPE
WARNS ARTHUR N. PACK
Forest Situation Is Likened to Goose That Killed the
Golden Eggs

MERICA can furnish no help
"A in supplying European pa
per needs, writes Arthur
Newton Pack in an article in
Nature Magazine. He points out
that European foresters have
known what 1t means to kill the
goose that lays the golden eggs,
and when America wakes up to
the fact that no more eggs are
forthcoming for her, Europe viii
still have her basket full every
year.
The article is of particular I'M
portance; for it follows the visit
OF Gen. Lord Lovat. chairman
Of the British forestry commits
sion, to the headquarters Of the
American Tree Association, At
which time the distinguished Wis
itor called upon President Cool
idge. Lord Lovat had just COM
pleted q tour Of Canada and the
United States.
Continuing the pointed lesson
to America, Mr.. Pack writes that
the boys and girls Of Great Brit
ain, France. Norway, Sweden,
Germany, Italy and the Balkan
states are taught to respect for
ests as they would a neighnOr's
property.
"Great Britain's experience dur
ing the early part Of the great
war, when IA per cent Of all her
shipping was needed merely to
bring in the necessary forest
products, fortunately taught the
nation a great lesson" continues
Mr.. Pack.
Forestry COncIaves.
From this experience grew the
British forestry commission, and
the series Of empire forestry con-
ferences organized to deal with
the problems Of NATIONAL and en-
pire wood needs through the
practice Of scientific forestry.
The British empire forestry con-
ference, which met at Ottawa,
gave particular attention to all
these problems of forest short.

needs. There the Scandinavian
countries have been not merely
conserving their forest resources
but building them up until the
annual timber crop can supply

Forest fires are the greatest
cures of Americas forest. The
fire problem must be overcome
before eithr Canada or the United
states can make any Roadway
with real forestry. Indeed II
European nations were to relax
their eternal vigilance by ever so

1.-THE Ottawa Conference con-
sidered forestry education as one
of the greatest necessities or
Canada and the United States.
There is a decided growing public
interest in these problems in
America as shown through the
press. In the course Of a half
hours conference with Maj. Gen.
Lord Lovat, head Of the British
forestry commission, President
Coolidge appeared keenly inter-
ested in the problems Of world
timber supply.
THE British forestry commits
sion, as the official forestry de-
partment of the British govern
ment, has been helped in its
work for the reforestGtion of
war devastated areas by the an
nual gift of many millions of
seeds of American Douglas fir,
presented by the American Tree
Association Of Washington. Sown
in nurseries throughout the Brit
ish Isles, the resulting seedlings
have been transplanted to both
public and private forest areas,
where the rather astounding rate
Of growth even exceeds the nat.

seeds, given in expression Of in

WHY. LENT IS
SO CALLED

TYHILE the English word for
~ the Lenten or Penltential
w season is derived directly
from the Anglo-Saxon Lencten,
meaning Spring" the observance
of the forty-day period goes back
to the early days of Christianity,
though it was not until $40 that
the dates of Ash Wednesday and
Holy Saturday were definitely ss-
tablished.
In the days of the early church,
Lent was a season in which the
faithful asked mercy for them
selves and were therefore expected
to show mercy to others. The
money saved by fasting was given
in aims to the POOR. Imperial laws
prohibited the conduct Of criminal
processes, the church authorities
received penitents at the altar and
imposed public penances for sins
committed, emperors released pris-
oners, masters pardoned their
slaves, and enemies became friends.
During the sixteenth century ths
eating of meat during the Lenten
season was made an offense pun
ishable by the stocks, and a fine
of so shlllings. but the severity
with which the period was observed
has gradually lessened. until Lem
ten observance is now mainly =
matter of individual preference.

feel sure. From her letter
gather that she married and
started out to help establish the
sort Of home in which children
might grow to happy, useful man.
hood and womanhOOd.
And 1t wasn't until her boy was
born that she discovered her error
Of Judgment. Her co-worker was
less interested in their home, their
future and the generations to
come than he was in himself.
One parent, working alone, can
not successfully found a homo.
But occasionally mother-Or
father-willing completely to sac
rifice self, may rear a child out
side a home.
So l.. w. took her boy and her
love for him and her sense : OF
responsibility and her self for
getfulness and began the long
work of creating a self-respecting
man and desirable citizen, un-
aided and unencouraged, or practi-
cally so.
For which I think she deserves
all honor. just as do other women
caught by her same problem and
working 1t out just as splendidly.
! believe the quiet work L. w.
and those other women are doing
is accomplishing more toward real
"wOmen's rights" which she men,
lions so bitterly, than all the
spectacular deeds ever performed
have accomplished.
