Forests Are Becoming
Popular Fairgrounds

Public forests are steadily increas-
ing in popularity as the Fairgrounds
of the nation. Woodlands offer splen-
did opportunities for camping, hunt
ing, fishing and outdoor life.
millions Of motorists now spend
their vacations in the government and
state forests" says Charles Lathrop
Pack, chairman of the committee on
state parks and forests of the Ma
tional Outdoor Recreation conference
called by President Coolidge. Rail
roads and automobiles make the for
ests accessible to all.
thousands of miles of improved
motor highways lead into the very
cart Of the hills. More than 100000
people annually visit the national for
ests. OF this number, some 100000
are campers, fishermen, and hunters.
Forests provide cheap health liz
surance to all who will enjoy what
they offer in sport and recreation.
For example, over 100000 vacation
lists visit Colorado's forests each year.
II each person spent but five days in
the forests, this would mean total
of 100000 days or 50.000.0O0 hours
of rest and enjoyment

Washington Ranks First in
Bows and Girls Club Work

Specialist, State College Of
Washington

when a team had finished its part of
the demonstration, it could move off
the stage and the next team come onto
the stage and continued the demon
stration with practically no delay.
The first team consisted Of Harvey
Eacrett and Leonard Dilling, both of
Clallam County; the second team of
Dan Mounts and John Bennett, both
Of Thurston County; the third team
of Frances O'Connor Of Pacific County
and Lawrence Olson Of Snohomish
County, and the fourth team Of VIII
liam Frye of Skagit County and
Jimmy Hamilton of Lewis County.
While Eacrett demonstrated, billing
explained the taking of the sample
from the complete milkings of at least
one day, mixing the milk we'll before
taking the sample, mixing the preser-
vative with the milk to prevent sour
ing and screwing the lid Of the
sample bottle on tight to prevent spill
ing and evaporation. Then while Dill
ing demonstrated, Eacrett explained
the heating of the sample to 80 de-
grees and thoroughly mixing the milk
in the sample bottle before taking the
sample for the test bottle.
This team then moved off the stage
while the next team came on and con-
tinued the demonstration. Mounts
demonstrated while Bennett explained
the method of measuring the milk
with a pipette and running 1t into the
test bottle. Then Bennett demonstrate
ed while Mounts explained measuring
he sulphuric acid, pouring it into the
test bottle and mixing it with the
milk.
This team was then followed by the
third team. While Olson demonstrate
ed, O'Connor explained the first whirl-
ing Of the test bottle in the centrifuge
for five minutes and adding water at
100 degrees to the neck of the bottle.
Then while O'Connor demonstrated,
Olson explained the whirling of the
test bottle for two minutes, adding the
water at 100 degrees to bring the mix
ture near the top of the scale on the
neck of the bottle, and finally whirling
for one minute.
This team was then followed by the
last team. AS Hamilton was very
hoarse he did all of the demonstrating
for that team while Frye explained
the tempering of the sample at 12O
degrees for five minutes before read
ing the test; the reading of the test,
and the emptying and cleaning of the
test bottle.
During the demonstration the whirl-
ing of the samples was not continued
for the full time in the centrifuge, but
other samples had been run to the diff
ferent stages and were used by the
demonstrators to show how the
amples would have looked il they hat
been run full time. This cut down thu
time of the demonstration and made
1t snapper than If one sample hat
been carried entirely through tn,

BOISE.-Members of the 1923 legis-

were slashing salaries of members Of

AS result these members of the
board have given themselves salary
increases amounting to $21 month
beginning July 1, according to certifl-
Gates filed in the state auditors Of

$4,000 for salaries of the three mem
bers. This amount would have given
them 1925 month. The legislature,
however, failed to change Section 6249
of the compiled statutes, which says
that the salaries of the board members
shall be $4,000 year and left the
members entitled to as much Of this
amount as apportions would yield.

Asthma and Hay Fever

These distressing and prevalent dt
seases respond, in considerable meas
ure at least, to recently developed
methods of diagnosis and treatment.
Asthma and hay fever are con-
sidered together as they are both due
to the peculiar sensitiveness of the
mucuous membrane Innings of the
nose or air passages to certain al
luminous or protein substances with
which they may come in contact. In
asthma, this substance may be in.
hailed, may be taken with food or NAV
come from disease process in some
other part of the body, through the
blood stream.
We may, therefore, have asthma
from the inhalation of dander scales
or dust from horses, cats or other
animals; from the inhalation of pol.
len from plants or Of sachet powders
or perfumes Again, it may be caused
by partaking of certain foods to which
the patient is sensitive. Caused by a
disease process in some other part
of the body, it may be bacterial in
origin or may be due to diseased
heart Or kidneys.
Hay fever is usually caused by in
haling pollens from grasses, flowers
or weeds
When the patient consults his ply
stefan for relief, he will find the latte"
will use all means to discover the
cause; and that, while he may ge.
temporary relief from drugs, per-
manent cure can be gained only by
the removal Of the cause; or treat
ment based ON the newer scientific,
methods Of desensitization, now pretty
thoroughly understood.
In the case of asthma, the physl-
clan will undoubtedly make what is
called the protein skin tests consist
ing Of making a scratch on the skin
and applying the proteins, to deter
mine to which particular possible sub
stance the patient is sensitive, AMI
this having been ascertained, the pa
tient can be treated by injections Of
that particular protein, in small re-
peated doses, until such times as
large ones are tolerated. when he is
said to have been desensitized.
In the case of hay fever, these tests
will be made by vaccines Of extracts
prepared from the various weeds,
flowers and grasses.

nerr of the Alabama Power company.
Delegates also evinced surprise at the
modern and efficient designs of machin-
