More Supervision
Sought in Matter
of Radio Aerials

Newark, N. j.. April 20.-An ap.
peal for closer supervision and in
spection Of radio aeria1S will be ask
ed by the police and fire department
officials of Montclair following the
accidental death yesterday morning
of two firemen who were electrocut-
ed when they came in contact with
an aerial as 1t hung over feed wire

The men were fighting a fire in a
hedge in the rear of the Montclair

the accident happened. The vic.
Tins were Captain Frederick Muller

TO the Montclair fire department.
1t has been indicated that next

the possibility of such an accident as

iafs are constructed" said the chief,
constitutes a real hazard to life
and limb. There are -innumerable
eases where aerials run over high
voltage electric wires"
Although warned. Captain Muller
secured pair of insulated pliers 70

touched his wrist he fell uncon-

Coolidge Issues
Word on Forest
Protection Week

Washington, April 20-The hope
that the American people will come
to abhor their woods burning just as
much as they now abhor their homes
burning was expressed by President
Coolidge in statement issued to-
night on the eve Of the beginning of
forest protection week.
Tomorrow marks he beginning of
Forest Protection Week for 1924, the
fourth annual observance Of the ma
tional movement to stamp out forest
fires in the United States" the presi-
dent said. 'In the proclamation 1
issued designating April 21-27. inclu-
sive, as Forest Protection Week. I
stated that the most formidable
agency against forest destruction is
fire and that Of all forest fires re-
ported each year eighty per cent are
are result of human carelessness.
II desire again to call the nations
attention to the seriousness as or
man-made fires in the United States
and to urge every citizen to give
earnest thought to the matter OF pre-
venting the unnecessary waste OK
our fast dwindling timber supply.
1.-THE secretary of agriculture,
whose department has charge or our
LAG national forests, reports that
during 1923 about 100000 people
visited these federal areas for re-
crcational purposes.
81 believe these figures eloquently
tell the part the wooded areas OF
the United States play in the whole
some recreation activities Of our peo-
pie. In fact. American character ana
American customs are largely the
result of influence which our forest
background has exerted upon our
nations history.
Our civilization is largely de-
pendent upon the unrestricted use
of wood. But Americas magnificent
timber supply now needs rcplenish-
ing. About S1,O00.000 acres OF idle
forest land should be growing TIM
Der crops. Fire is an outlaw that
not only destroys growing timber but
retafds and kills young trees from
which new forest must come.
unfortunately the suppression or
the forest fire menace lays largely IN
our own hands. 1t Is my earnest
hope that as citizens of the United
States we shall Learn to abhor fire in
our woods just as we now abhor IRE
in our homes"
