SOVIET RECOGNITION
MEANS TRADE REVIVAL
SAYS SHIPPING HEAD

WASHINGTON, Feb. lS.-That
the United States government may
soon be compelled to follow the
lead of Britain and Italy in recog-
nizing Soviet Russia is the infer
ence drawn from a statement made
by Leigh G. Palmer, president Of
the feet corporation of the ship
ping board. Recognition of Russia
by the powers will cause a distinct
revival in world trade and put
many languishing marine concerns
on their feet declared Mr.. Palmer.
American businessmen are already
secretly cursing the folly Of
Charles Evans Hughes and his
anti-Russian policy. Before long
they will curse openly and a move
ment to force the whiskered sec
retary's hand is looked for.

DAILY WORKER
is BARRED FROM
FOLSOM PRISON
Heavy Censorship Over
California Bastille

REPRESA, Calf, Feb. ia
new rule has been made at Folsom
prison that will make it impossible
to send The DAILY WORKER to
the fourteen political prisoners there.
The new rule is that no books, mag
azines, or newspapers may be sent
to the prisoners even tho they come
directly from the publisher. The
only gift allowed under the new rule
will be money, and the warden will
fuse his judgment" in permitting the
prisoners to spend that money.
This is obviously an act Of re-
venge on the part Of the warden,
who has been charged with the un-
merciful beating of political pris-
oner, Louis Allen. In order to pro-
tect the warden, Governor Richard
son has made some changes in the
prison board that will give the war
den a majority that will stick with
him under any circumstances.
Folsom is the "hell hole prison
of California. When Hiram john
son was governor Of this state, he
had Richard Ford and Herman Suhr,
labor prisoners, who are serving life,
sent to this prison so that their spir-
it's might be broken.
The new rule about reading mat
ter will affect the political and labor
prisoners more than it will any other
class as they were great readers.
Other Prisons Still Open.
The business offices of The DAILY
WORKER want to make it plain that
only Folsom prison has a rule that
forbids the sending Of newspapers to
the prisoners and that there are over
a hundred class war and political
prisoners in other prisons. The bust
ness Office will send The DAILY
WORKER to any political prisoner
for a year if a reader will send SO
for the sub; that is, just half the
regular price.
If you know political prisoner
send him The DAILY WORKER for
year to keep him in touch with the
outside world. If you don't know
any politicals send the business Of
flee SO and they will send a political
prisoner the paper for a year and
inform you to whom your gift was

Science Poor Second
in LIGHT Production,

What Is the most efficient light
In the world?
Some people might vote at once
for the "last word" of science in
artificial illumination, but they
would be wrong. The most eff
cient light known to US was known
in the days Of pine torches and
rush-lights. 1t is that with which
nature has endowed the gl0w-worm
and the FREELY. ta
Science has so far failed to solve
the problem Of the production Of
light without heat-a problem
which seems to have given Dame
Nature no difficulty. In all artifi-
cial light production an enormous
amount of energy Is lost in the
form Of heat rays and chemical
rays.
Thus a four-watt carbon glow
lamp has q luminous efficiency Of
less than half per cent, and the
most perfect artificial illuminant
has an efficiency Of only 4 per cent.
Science here compares badly with
nature, for the luminous efficiency
Of the FREELY Is no less than 99.5
per cent, while the glow-worm's
light is 80 times more efficient than
tungsten lamp.

Not Value of Fasting

Man knows that wild creatures

His love for food IL so deeply

He reasons in this way: "When
these creatures were well they ate

some means force them to eat"
SO it is when man himself Is in
disposed by reason of some indls-
erection. He does not wish to eat.
The very thought Of food is abom-
ination. But his wife, whose love
is greater than her reason, says to
him: Honey, you simply must eat
in order to keep up your strength,
and l have prepared number OF
dishes you like in order to tempt
your appetite"
The little will that remains to
him after one glance at the table
urges him to flee, but his greedy
palate prevails and he eats heartily.
The result is that his overwhelmed

Pretty Medieval Legend

The story of the custom Of con-
veying kiss by cross, Is that
there was once a young man in
the days of knighthood and chivalry
and glittering deeds, named Sir
Ronald du Bots. who was sent on a
dangerous mission and was taken
prisoner. He had left at home
fair and beautiful sweetheart, and
it was his desire to send her some
message. A bribed messenger prom.
Used to take some symbol to her, but
refused to bear a written message
for fear he would be taken prisoner
and the letter found. The knight
therefore sent her a metal button
from his coat on which he had
scratched four letters at the four
points Of an x. The letters were
XII, 8, 9. Since this famous mes
sage other lovers have used the X
to stand for kisses, but omit the let
tiers at each point. However, the
romantic story has never been for
gotten.--Atlanta Constitution. =

"THE THOUG HTLESS FOOL" .
BY Philip J. SinnOtt
NEA Service Writer

San Francisco, July 29.-Death
and desolation are racing along
through the west with "Thc
Thoughtless Fool"
Scores already are dead, scores
more are missing, thousands. of
vacationists are in imminent dan
ger, whole towns are being wiped
out, and millions Of dollars worth
of fine old timber is being laid
low.
And the blame--or most of it
is being laid at the door of "The
Thoughtless Fool" as the smoke
from dozens Of forest fires rolls
upward as incense from the sacri-
flee to the Fire God.
Education mas been under way
for years to convert The Thought
less Fool into safe member of
society. A lessening number of
forest fires each year was pointed
to as the result
1t took a dry year like the pres
ent to prove this all wrong. AS
soon as the vacation season called
autoist and other campers into
the open, fires began. And they
have continued unabated; beaten
down at one point only to break
out anew at another.
Jail sentences are now being
melted out to those who even smoke
in the forest reserves. And the
millionaire tourist, the hobo, the
ranch hand and city vacationist
alike are subject to CONSUMPTION
to save the virgin forests from
destruction.
Up to July Is, total of 839
forest fires were reported to forest
service officials. Of these, $50
were due entirely to carelessness.
A vast land army of fighters,
supplemented by army airplanes
and the radio, battle doggedly on
every western front-but The
Thoughtless Fool keeps just ahead
of them, and weary workers sub
due one fire only to be rushed to
fight another.
Decentralization is the aftermath
in many communities. Every able
bodied man must spend long hours
at the hard, hot job; every autoist
passing through must expect to be
called upon and to serve or go to
Jail. These battles may carry the
fighters far from their homes. A
sudden change of wind, and they
momentarily are in danger of being
trapped by the flames, or of having
their homes endangered, with only
their women folk at home to con-
quer the blaze or perish.
Forest fires cause life and prop
erty loss, disrupt communication
and entail enormous expense. The
areas swept over are denuded of
timber by the fast-licking flames.
Lack of timber cuts down the labor
wage entailed in milling these
trees, had they survived. And the
devastated area, affording no
shade to the sell, is soon dried by
the sun and no longer helps furn-
ish waters to the principal streams.
This brings about water short
ages, and with the west using
largely hydro-electrical energy, a
power shortage, which may itself
bring on unemployment.
But through it all, The Thought
less Fool goes unheedingly about
his work of destroying the last
big lumber reserves on this side of
the world.
1t has reached a point now where
being caught might mean lynching.

Be-, Franklin Enjoyed
Good Things of Life

Benjamin Franklin was one OF

PLY and so abundantly that the
reader of his life finds himself wish
ing he might have been cOntem-
pOrary.
He was regarded as one Of the
wisest members Of the First con-
gress, yet he seldom spoke, and
he spent great part Of his time
fast asleep In his chair.
He drank too much, he ate too
much; instead of exercising, he
played chess. He suffered the
piercing pains of govt. He con-
fessed all his faults with delightful
+. humOr and frankness.
At sixteen he wrote an article
for his brothers. newspaper, de-
scribing the night life Of Boston,
and at seventy he was still indulg-
ing in pleasant romances with
young and beautiful French women.
He missed nothing.
AS he added years to his age
and dollars to his incoVe, he vio-
lated many Of Poor Richards pre-
cepts. r..
His common sense led him to
take hot baths twice week, when
the general custom was to battle
not Oftener than two or three times
year. He believed in fresh air,
and even night air, while the doc
tors were still using leeches as a
cure-nll.
He enjoyed life to the utmost.
He was the master Of his circum-
stances from the age of sixteen,
when he ran away from home, to

In order. He left an estate of a
quarter of a million dollars for his
