A PROCLAMATION

Whereas. il is essential to the con-
tinuedd comfort, welfare. and pros
perity ow the people of the United
States that abundant forests, widely
distributed and maintained inn a con-
dition of high product Seness, he for
ever wisely conserved as one of our
greatest natural resources; and
Whereas, because of our constIntfy
increasing need for wood and other
forest products, together with our
past failure to provide for reforesta-
tion, we are drawing upon our sup
plies of timber four times as fast us
they are renewed through growth;
and
Whereas, the most formidable
agency of forest destruction and pre-
vention of reforestation is fire and, of
the fires which annually devastate
vast ares, four-fifths are asscribed
in origin to human agencies and vir-
tually all may be controlled and made
%nocuo through prudence, care and
vigilance;
Therefore, |, Calvin Coolidge, Pres
ident of the United States, do urge
upon the Governors of the various
States to designate and set apart
the week of April 21-27, 1924, as For
est Protection Week, and, wherever
practicable and not in conflict with
state law or accepted customs, to
celebrate rbor Day within that week.
l also urge all citizens, either in as
ISOLATION or as individuals, all schools,
and the press Of the land TO give com
mon thought to the protection OF our
forests from fires, to the end that, in
the future as in the past, these for
ests may supply us with wood, pro-
tect the purity of our streams, and
otherwise serve the people of the

In witness whereof, | have hereun-

FIREMAN WOULD
NOT KILL HALF
DROWNED MOUSE

While fighting a fire recently in
a southern California city, a fireman
handling one of the lines of hose
found he had, unknowingly, rescued
a tiny tenant of the burning building.
Happening to glance down at his feet
he discovered n %shivering, drenched
mouse perched on the toe of his rub
Der boots. He stopped over the tiny
creature it turned its bright eys so
appealingly up to him that he hadn't
the heart to complete the job the fire
had almost accomplished.
"Why, you poor little rascal" he
calculated, "you sure are badly in
need of first aid-so here goes" and
he lifted the mouse from his boot
and dropped it into a side pocket of
his heavy slicker.
The fireman was too busy the next
hour to waste a thought on a half
drowned mouse, but after the fire was
subdued and reached the engine
house, he Remembered it. Reaching
into his pocket he found a now well
dried and frisky creature that ap-
parently realized it was in safe hands,
as it did not resent his picking it up
and stroking its sleek fur.
81 believe the blamed little rascal
wants me to adopt it," the fireman
remarked, as several of his fellow
workers crowded around to see his
pet.
Better take it out and feed it to
old Tom," advised one of the N
lockers.
But the kind-hearted fireman who
had rescued Mr.. Mouse didn't relish
the thought; old Tom could forage
his own fresh meat. The mouse was
carefully carried to a nearby livery
stable. And there, in a nice dry heap
of scattered hay the rescued fire vic
tim was turned loose and given an
other chance at making his own way
in his mouse kingdom.

0UCKsAND PROTECTED THE BONES
OF the ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA GIANTS

Los Angeles, (AP)-With five pre-
h;etoric human skeletons already re-
covered from the rancho Cunajo pit
here. scientists resumed their probing
of the age-old quicksands, now buried
beneath % feet of sedimentary strata,
where these and perhaps other mem
hers of a long extinct rae are be-
Ieyed to have met death some tens of
thousands of years ago.
Discovery of a skeleton late yes
terday gave rise to the belief that the
~treacherous sands, said by biologists
to late back to the pleistocene era,
may have entrapped a great number
of these primordial southern Califor-
mans, just as the La Brea oil pits,

ed into a veritable mine of pre-his-

According to DIR. VIM. A. BRYAN,
director of the Los Angeles museum
OF history, science and art, the fifth
skeleton brought to light is much bet
ter preserved and more complete than
the other four. 1t was found in ar
upright position imbedded in the
waterlogged wall of the pitt, it's emp

wierdly akin to tears.
Meanwhile j. w. Lytle, bone prep

indicate that it belonged to a man

THE SUNLIGHT KID
By
LON SMITH

WV LIZ IL oIIlIlH, our OWN
"Smithy' of the South Fork, has writ
ten a ballad called "The Sunlight
Kid which appeared in a recent is
sue of the Los Angeles Times. We
call his description of the hero's ride
at the Stampede mighty good stuff,
and congratulate Mr.. Smith upon the
steady improvement shown in his
work.
Then they hazed the killer into the
pen;
They hazed him into the waiting
chute.
Then the Kid stopped low and his
saddle took
And he strobe white Tipped to the
swaying bars.
Then he climbed to the top and a
moment stood,
And waved to the riders zeal and far.
Then he smiled his smile and he
dropped his tree
On the back of the bawling Appa-
loose,
And willing hands strained latigos
Till the bullgut bit like the hang
mans moose
Then the sweating wranglers stepped
aside
And the Sunlight Kid got ready to
Then the stand grew still as the hush
of death
And the painting horse was the only
sound
AS the judges called-"Are you ready,
Kid?"-
And the pickup men all covered their
ground.
Then his hand went up and the Kid
dropped quick
To the saddle tree like a flash of
flame,
And the riders gasped as they saw
him sit
With his right hand gripping the
bucking rein.
Then the Ready" came, and the
judges spoke,
And the gates of the trembling chute
thrown wide,
And the A%ppaloose with a mighty leap
Came plunging forth like a racing
tide
And the ride was on-'twas the of hell
As many a rider oft did tell
The killer rose like an angry bull
Then hit the ground in a triple buck,
Then sunfiShed wide with a mighty
heave
Like a rocketing shell that has gone
amuck.
Then he twisted and fought and
plunged and reared,
And screamed with the fury of out
ragged pride
For none had sat him half so long;
None had given him such a ride.
But the Kid rode straight with his
left hand high
And the smile that he wore in a
smother of weather;
His hooks swung fast DER the blood
flecked flanks
And his lean thighs chung like part of
the leather
And the riders wondered, and some of
them cheered,
But some we're silent-some of them
feared
Then the killed seemed to be subdued
And ceased to plunke in his devilish
play;
There were some who thought that
his day was done,
That the Sunlight Kid had had his
way.
Then he reared straight up to his
screaming height
And topping over came crashing
back,
And he hit the ground in n smother
oof dust
And a groan from the stand at the
sickening crack.
But the Kid was ready and stepped
off clear
Then swung like a flash rs the out
law rose,
But n crimson froth had come to his
lips,
And n bright red trickle had stroaked
his nose
But he rode straight still and he kept
place
While the old-time smile was alight
on his face
Still twice did the killer scream and
rear,
And topping. fall-come crashing
back,
Then he bucked his way by the in
field guards
And over the fence and onto the
track.
And there IL ended. his head hung
low

Strength, Skill and Courage Required for Human Chair

Tn recounting shining deeds per-
formed by members Of the New

lon. who has personally fought In
more than $4,000 fires, has told in
preceding articles of acts that re-
quireG not only will and courage
of steel, but a strength little short

Among the instances. he gave
the case of a fire captain who de-
scended into the smoking hold of
a vessel in New York Harbor,
which was carrying a large amount
of highly infi9 nmable benzol, to
rescue a subordinate who had
fallen through a hatch. Cropping
for the PROSTATE man. the fire
captain became unconscious, but
after being dragged to the deck
and revived he insisted upon MAX
ing a second descent, which was
successful.
Chief Kenlon also described a
heroic battle with flames on a
partly submerged submarine, torn
by explosions Of chlorine gas and
in imminent danger of sinking
Naval officers declared it a miracle
that the andersen vessel was not
blown to pieces. Working in
cramped quarters and surrounded
by suffocating fumes, menaced by

game, Doc conceived the idear of
hiring all the bell-hops in Pardon
Me to bring pitchers Of Ice water to
the field and after he had give them
a dime apiece to keep still he pored
the water all over the field and made
1t what I called at that time q veri-
table sea Of mud. But Larry Beads
had once tipped one OF these bell-hops
twenty cents at one swoop and the
bell-hop in question whose name was
Andy Wolfe remembered this in
Beads with the story Of tho flooded
field.
What to do was tho question that
affronted poor Larry, but never at a
total loss for long at a time It was
not yet dawn when he had gathered
on the field a squad Of mud turtles
who soon had everything as dry as q
Chautauqua- After this was done he
took steps to get even for Docs
futile knavery as he called It. 1t
seems that all the boys on the Dys-
peptics team was natives Of southern
California and had never seen snow.
so Beads had the game postponed till
the 80 of November when they's gen.
orally always a heavy blizzard in
Iowa, but Doc was wise to this gag In
few days and had the game trans
ferred to Cuba. So the teams finely
met on an equal footing on the 4th.
day of the following February at a
prominent Havana hotel.
The story of the game itself Is
something that even now it can't
be told. Bell boys and walters kept
| interrupting all the time and they
was more than one occasion when the
management raped on the walls and
told the athletes they better shut up.
| At five o'clock on the PM. of the
third day the Dyspeptics scored a
touchback, which at that time count
ed less than " a point. on q intricate
forward pass play In which the center
! finely carried the ball over in his
pocket after the air had been let out
of 1t by some secret process con-
nected with a butcher knife.
| Two days later Gaboo got what
they claimed was the tying touchback
on a play In which all the forwards
dressed in their opponents suits and
| made the linesman believe the Dys-
peptics was off side e.
The ethics of this play was what
broke off the relations between the
two rivals and Is the point which is

formed by Fireman Timothy F.
OLeary at 247 Clinton street. Man
haitian. The fireman was not on duty
on this occasion, but happened to be
passing the premises. An alarm had
been turned in, the apparatus was on
its way to the fire, but had not yet
arrived. On looking up at the win
dows Of the fifth floor, O'Leary saw
the forms of two women; they were
enveloped in smoke.
Realizing that they could be
taken through a window Of the ad.
joining building. he proceeded to a
position next to the window in
which he had seen the women. Sew
eral citizens, who had accompanied
OLeary, held onto his legs as he
stood on the window sill of the house
adjoining and stretched his body over
to the window at No. 247, five floors
above the ground. He directed one
of the women at the window to take
hold of his hands so that he could
swing her across the space. She was
too terrified to listen to him.
After a few seconds, during which
the fireman pleaded with the woman
to do his bidding, her daughter. at
the same window, extended her arm
SO that the fireman could take hold.
Holding on to the woman with all of
his strength and commanding the
citizens TO brace themselves so as
not to let go, OLeary swung the
woman. by one arm, across the open
space between the two buildings to
safety. During the performance OF
this task O'Leary was suspended by
his legs and in an extremely peril
0us position.
Immediately after rescuing the
daughter, O'Leary assisted Battalion
Chief Jones in rescuing the mother
Wy the same method. The battalion
chief stood by the window sill, held
In position by two firemen, and the
older woman was swung across the
open space successfully. She was
literally pulled from the blaze, as
her face and hands were burned and
her hair singed. She was sent to a
hospital for treatment.
Another difficult rescue at the same
fire was performed by F1remen Will

BY RING LARDNER.

TO the editor: An annual review
Of the foot ball season to date
shows a situation that has
Il hardly ever been equalled let
alone paralleled in the an
nails of the great college sport,
SO called big teams could beat any
of the others and the SO called small
teams is so nearly even that the
games is bound to all end up in tie
unless some unsportsmanlike ad-
vantage Is taken one side or the
other.
If the writer's memory is not at
fault 1T was as long ago as 1871 when
situation existed anywheres near
like this here. That was the year of
the Chicago fire and also the year
when Jim Thorpe entered Carlisle
and 1T is difficult to say which event
created the most small talk but any
way it was also the year when the
only twenty elevens that was then
playing the popular college game was
all tied at the end Of the season
with a perfect record of no defeats
and no victories with the exception
sity of Gaboo then located at Pardon
Me, Iowa, and the Home for Dys-
peptics at CLAIMS Roost, Arkansas.
Alumni of these two colleges is still
arguing over whom had the respec-
| tive merits of the season and the
matter is still up before the Supreme
Court.
However, irregardless of the out
come of the case 1T Is safe to say
that no two teams was ever 80 poorly
matched and in fact unless foul play
| had been resorted to the final con-
! test of the season would probably re-
suited in a senseless tie with neither
eleven getting their name on the
| score board.
But it happened that the Gaboo
boys was coached by Larry Beads one
| of the smartest quarter backs that
ever hid behind a center at old Nal
lard. Larry had served a term for
forgery during his freshman year but
had never been caught since. He
| came to Gaboo without any ticket or
scruples and soon had most of the
candidates for the team shooting
craps nights to take their mind of
the wear and tear of hard training
By the end Of September the crap
game was over as Larry would not
| extend his pupils no credit.
| The coach for the Dyspeptics was
none other than old Doc Cattle known
as the wizard because he used to sell
horse medicine to farmers who didn't
want to buy 1t and knowed very well
1t wouldn't do their horse no good
| Old Doc had never played foot bal
himself, but had read some of Tom
Thorp's articles in regards to same
| Now most of the students at Gaboe
was residents of Arizona and on thai
acct. it stood to reason that they
wouldn't do very good on muddy
field so on the night before this biz
