PUBLICITY COMMITTEE.
The Republican., 1924-11-20

The State Came Warden has mott
fled his deputies to keep a close watch
today on gunners who, in face of the
present confagration, disregard the
Governors peculiarly timely appeal.
Hunters, the department adds, will be
held strictly accountable for any care
lessness that may lead to more fires.
The situation today, however, is so
serious that, even if the gunners, cam
pers, picnickers and others honor the
Governors Safety first" plea, steps
should be taken at once by the proper
authorities to draft a law that will
enable the State to protect itself from
the perils that are the outcome of the
worse than carelessness of a reckless
minority.
The next Legislature should pass a
law that will be drastic enough to as
sure adequate punishment to those
who, in setting our forests afame,
either through carelessness, thought
lessness or heedlessness, jeopardize
human life. They must be treated as
potential enemies of law and order
and forest conservation.
Incendiaries, when caught, can be
promptly dealt with, but the forest
law should be amended by the inser-
ton Of new and sharp teeth to pro-
tect the State from the foolhardiness
to put it mildly, of those of the leis-
ure class who, in the face of the pres
ent alarming situation, refuse to heed
the appeal issued by the State-an
appeal designed to minimize the dam
ger of the constantly recurring blazes
that are denuding and destroying our
woodlands.-Monday's Baltimore AM

Put Sharp Teeth" in Our For
est Laws.

Fires that swept the drought dry
forests of the Catoctin mountain
range in Frederick county and other
forest fires which have been raging,
in Garrett, Allegany, Washington and
Wicomico counties, this State,add en-
phasis to the appeal of Governor Rit-
chic to hunters to refrain from shoot
ing during the season, which opens
today, until there has been enough
rain to remedy the dry condition
which now obtains.
The Governor admits that his proc
lamation is without teeth" because
he lacks the power possessed by ex-
ecutives of other States to prohibit
cunning when an emergency calls for
such action. Although there is a
well-defned belief in the Forestry de-
partment that some of the fires now
sweeping sections of the State are of
incendiary Origin, there is no doubt
that most Of the woods blazes are due
to the carelessness of hunters, camp
ers, picnickers and automobilists.

AMERICAS NEED FOR EDU.
CATION.
President Calvin Coolidge.

The main factor of every school is
the teacher. Teaching is one of the
noblest professions. 1t requires an
adequate preparation and training,
patience, devotion, and a deep sense
of responsibility. Those who mould
the human mind have not wrought
for time, but for eternity. The obli-
cation which we all owe to those de-
voted men and women who have given
of their lives to the education of the
youth of our country that they might
have freedom through coming into a
knowledge Of the truth is one which
can never be discharged. They are
entitled not only to adequate rewards
for their service, but to the venera-
tion and honor of a grateful people.
The cause of education has long
had the thoughtful solicitude of the
National Government. While it is
realized that it is a State affair rath-
er than a national affair, nevertheless
it has provided by law a Bureau of
Education. 1t has not been thought
wise to undertake to collect money
from the various States into the
national treasury and distribute it
again among the various States for
the direct support Of education. It
has seemed better policy to leave
their taxable resources to the states.
and permit them to make their own
assessments for the support of their
own schools in their own way. But
for long time the cause Of education
has been regarded as so important
and so pre-eminently an American
cause, that the National Government
has sought to encourage it, scientific
ally to investigate its needs, and fur
nish information and advice for its
constant advancement. Pending be-
fore the Congress is the report of a
committee which proposes to estab-
lish a Department of Education and
Relief, to be presided over by a Cabi-
net officer. Bearing in mind that this
does not mean any interference with
the local control, but is rather an at
tempt to recognize and dignity the
Importance of educational effort, such
proposal has my hearty Endorsement
and support.
A new Importance is attaching to
the cause of education. A new reali-
Zation of its urgent necessity is tax
ing hold of the nation. A new COM
prehension that the problem is only
beginning to be solved is upon the
people. A new determination to meet
the requirements of the situation is
everywhere apparent. This economic
and moral waste of ignorance will
little longer be tolerated. This awak-
ening is one of the most significant
developments of the times. 1t indi-
Gates that our National spirit is re-
asserting itself. 1t is a most reas-
suring evidence that the country is
recovering from the natural exhaus-
ton of the war, and that it is rising
to new life and starting on a new
course. 1t is intent, as never before,
upon listening to the word Of the
teacher, whether it comes from the
platform, the school house or the pull
pit. The power of evil is being bro
ken. The power of truth is reassert-
ing itself. The Declaration of hide
pendence is continuing to justify it.

MAY YET FARM SAHARA
Discovery Of Water Under The Desert
 Promises Future Development

n
 The frequent discovery of water be- tween POO and 300 feet beneath the surface of the Sahara desert has aston ished French engineers seeking artesian wells. Not only has wster been found at this moderate depth (considering the nature of the regiGn), but live fish, crabs and crayfish have been brought to the surface.
 These-of species similar to those in- habiting Palestine lakes-present their own interesting scientific problems. But the varied animal life under the Sahara has a social as well as a scientific ir- terest. It suggests, the existence of com tinuous bodies of water, bearing out the declaration of explorers and geologists that while the surface of the desert is dry there is a. water supply available for modern. settlers over large terri tories. Coupled with the emphatic dec larations of those who have recently prospected in the so-called Australian and Gobi deserts, it offers startling contrast between the present state of the three barren regions and their fu- ture possibilities for cultivation.
 It is certain that the soil of all three regions, and especially of the Sahara and Australian territories, is rich enough. 7f
 Both France and Australia have planned vast irrigation schemes for re- claiming their unused lands. P These have always involved impoundihg the waters of streams like the Niger in Africa and the Murray in Australia. If the water is lying underground to be unlocked by the machinery of the twen- tieth century, the doom of the desert will be certain.

The WeLL-Dressed Man
 By BEAUNASH / Correct Clothes To Meet The Obligation Of EUery Occasion
Your Handkerchief


 ENASHION is often berated for be-
 ing too generous to women and
 too parsimonious to men, but this is not so true as it was. During no previous season, has color entered so noticeably into the theme of mems dress as this summer. Handkerchiefs especially show the new trend in the brilliant bandRnas and vivid foulards and madder prints which are not only seen upon the field, but also upon the street with sack suits.
 Typical of the handkerchiefs. men carry at sports are the vivid squares with solid or striped borders and plaids in three or four colors. Then, there are the India, Persian, Paisley and tapestry effects in which red and gold are the predon1fnating tints. Hand kerchiefs frequently come in patterns to mach scarfs, and sometimes to har- monize with hat ribbons as well. Polka dots and pin dots are favorite designs for such combinations, not emitting the hand-blocked English foulard silks in detached and entwined figures.
 Mature her custom holds let shame say what it will,' so one cannot leave out reference to the humble white linen handkerchief which, unlike its haughtier brothers, takes all the blows. A group of these is sketched alongside, showing taped, corded and striped bor- ders, with quarter, half or one-inch hand-rolled hems. Many such handker- chiefs have delicately colored borders. Others have woven damask stripes. For occasion" there are the sheer hand spun French linens with cord and tape borders and half-inch hems Silk-and- linen is combination which comments itself to many men because of it's greater softness compared with pure linen.
 Your handkerchief need not neces- sarily be chosen to match the color of your suit, but, rather, to tone in with your shirt and cravat, thus emphasizing

 nO NOT sheer at the church D please" Harold Sumner ad
 monished.
 "I did not sheer at the church" the girl declared. Heaven forbid that l should! But I do sometimes feel in- clined to wonder at the kind of people who pretend to follow Christian teach ings. Yes, mean just that, Mir. Sum ner! Those two deacons, for instance how they would have bounded my sister and myself and exposed my fa- ther's unfortunate money transactions if we had not promised to pay off his debt at once! Is that the kind of thing the church teaches? No, indeed !! There is nothing wrong with the church except some of the people in it. l lAlve been fortunate enough to know some of the other kind, too. So please ac- quit me of any intention to sheer at the church."
 Il apologize for my remark" Sum- ner murmured.
 Marian nodded in recognition of the apology. There. is something else that 1 want you to say" she resumed. And I demand this on my fathers account and for my sisters sake. want your assurance that you believe my state ment with regard to my presence at DeLisle's."
 The man drew his breath sharply. "Of course l believe your statement, Miss Horton, so far as knowing that your conduct there has been irreproach- able-if one admits that dancing in a public hall is ever entirely proper"
 That is a matter of individual opin- ion,' the girl reminded him. Il felt that it was necessary. Admitting this, you know that I have not done any thing else that could-could dishonor- q suppose that is the word you would use)--my father?"
 He bowed. II admit that your con- duct has been as correct as any wo- mans could be in such an environ ment"
 "Thanksr Marian rejoined dryly. Now, to another matter. You, of course, were the only one of your group who recognized me last night:'
 ''Yes-who actually recognized you" Sumner replied. Deacon Blanscombe asked -DeLisle who you were, but he de clined to reply. Blanscombe then said that you reminded him of girl he knew-a girl by the name of Horton. No-wait! v as Marian started angrily. "The Frenchman said that was not your name-that he knew nobody of that name" ,.,..

"I'l get an ax and break down the door!" the witch howled again. For I wish to get the two magic books so that I can work a lot of magical things!"
 The mean creature ran into the bushes and soon came out with a large ax.
 No you wOE't!' a loud Voice cried behind the witch, and there upon the back of the wooden hobby horse was the nice poor man. He quickly jumped and caught the ax and took it away from the witch. Now you hurry and run home befOreI give you hard thump!" he cried, and you bet the witch did not wait to be told twice.

Andy said. Yes, sir" Raggedy Ann agreed. and it is taking us right, back to wherever she is now!"
 Anyway. we will go inside and lock the doors, then she can't get in!' Rag gedy Andy said. So they went inside and locked the front doors and all the windows. Just as the Raggedys had suspected, the witch had indeed worked magic on the cunning little magical house, for in few moments it came to a stop and the witch beat upon the door.
 "Open the door before I break it to smidgins." the old mean old witch howled when she found the door was locked.
 Indeed. we shall not!" Raggedy An dy replied You just run along home and mind your own business, that's what.'
