Structure of Fire
Protection System
In Forest Outlined
In Manual for 1924

The fact that the responsibility for
the protection from fire Of the 10000
900 acres in the Maine forectry district
rests primarily on the fire wardens and
the members Of the field force who are
engaged in a work Of vital Importance,
is brought to the attention Of the war;
dens in the 1924 Forest Manual which
has just been-issued by the Maine For
est Service and sent to wardens all over
the State.
1.-THE chief wardens are the backbone
of the fire protective SYSTEM" the
booklet declares. They are, subject
only to instructions from the forest
commissioner, in complete charge of
the activities Of their respective dis
tricts. This includes planning, organ
ization and execution of the work, and
the supervision of the personnel"
The manual points out that the dep
uty wardens are the watchmen, patrol
men and other assistants to the chief
wardens. The lookout watchmen are
the eyes of the service and upon their
effectiveness in detecting and reporting
promptly all forest fires. within as we'll

large extent the success of the fire
protection work. Particular attention
should be paid. to seeing that watchmen
are well supplied with provisions and
with telephone and other equipment,
so that it will never be necessary for
them to leave the tower during dry
weather.
Regular patrolmen should be used

tings. Only in rade cases should they
be placed in areas satisfactorily COW
cred by lookout towers. They should
be used primarily to supplement the
lookout system, and no attempt should
be made to cover the entire area with
them.
Railroad wardens are appointed for
the specific purpose of handling rail-
road fires, and particularly railroad pa
troll. They have the same authority
as deputy wardens to summon assist
ance and to take charge of f1re-fighting
in any emergency.
The booklet takes up the matters of

ing, supplies and equipment, reports.
law enforcement, insect damage, game
protection and education and gives
valuable pointers on each of these
topics.
Wardens are urged to help reduce
the number of fires by calling the at
tention of the public in general and to
those going into the woods in particu-
lar to the danger from fire and to the
need of the utmost care in it's use.
The manual contains the forest fire
laws for organized towns outside the

clock Wednesday morning, May 81.
for any person or persons who wish
to give to the board information re-
garding the general subject Of the

city, town and plantation in the
state several months ago, asking for
statements from the local boards of
assessors as to the kind and amount
Of tax exempt property in their re-
spective communities, and replies
have been received from all but 40
of the smaller towns and plantations.
When the information is all in the
hands Of the exemption board It will
be able to commence the work of
classifying and tabulating 1t with a
view to arriving at a statement of
the situation as it now Is.

She declared that If more people had
a pride in making their homes comfort
able and attractive places for their
families to reside in and from this also
developed q pride in keeping their city
clean and insisting on having Its
buildings constructed according to
some good plan Of architecture there
would be less need Of all the move
ments for civic betterment as there
is q strong connection between civic
pride and civic Righteousness. These
kinds Of standards should be created in
the minds Of our children as an i'm
portant part Of their education.
Miss Hale said she was especially
glad to speak to the rural teachers of
Augusta because of the high regard she
has for the work being done in the
elementary schools by Superintendent
Burril and Miss Buker. She spoke of
the fact that Mr.. Burrill is considered
one Of the leading school men Of New
England by other educators, being par
ticularly strong in the steady, prac-
tical nature of his work.

Reference was made by Miss Hale
to the wonderful plan evolved by our
State commissioner Of education for
the improvement of rural teachers in

This plan Is so unique that 1t has at
tracted the attention Of educators all

been asked to describe it at several
state teachers association meetings in
the far west.
The speaker described the character

Miss Hale Tells
The Augusta Rural
School Teachers of
Big Opportunities

There has never been a time when
there was such n promising outlook
for the superior rural teacher as to-
day. This was the point emphasized
by Miss Florence NJ. Hale, agent for
rural education, State school depart
ment. who addressed the rural teach
ers Of the city OF Augusta at 10 o'clock
Saturday morning at City hall, Au-
gusta.
Miss Hale spoke Of the fact that
often the State department has inqui-
ries for rural teachers to fill positions
paying considerably more than city
grades. but such teachers must act
ually be superior. If any teacher will
prepare herself and do such work in
her rural school that this work stands
out markedly. there are plenty of
splendid opportunities awaiting her In

Give Up Fight to
.DenOrt DIR. TOZer

Portland, Me-. May 17-Dr. Fred
eric w. Tozer of Portland today won
his fight of more than year and a
half against government attempts to
deport him to Canada, his native
country. The government, through
Dist.-Atty. Dyer, withdrew its ap-
peal to a decision Of Judge Morton
of Boston, that ordered revocation OF
deportation proceedings that had
been decreed by immigration authori-
ties in Washington.
It was because of testimony given
for the government by DIR. Tozer
during the trial of DIR. Erwin c.
Ruth and Ralph A. Fry, former mar
cotic agents, for extortion here, in
December, 1922, that the government
sought the ousting of DR.. Tozer from
the United States.
immigration authorities alleged
that DR.. Tozier admitted the COM
mission of crime when he testified
regarding his dealings with Fry, who
was found guilty. and with Ruth,
who .yas acquitted.
Deportation was ordered from
Washington last August, but a writ

essarily leads very quiet existence.
Her vacations. so called, are devoted
chiefly to study and when the whole
sum of her existence is taken into
consideration there is very little real
pleasure or recreation for her out

In sense Miss Farrar Is thorough
cosmopolitan. She speaks French,
Italian and German like native.
however in the end Miss Farrar is
not only thoroughly American, but
thoroughly New England. She was
born in Massachusetts, within ten
miles of Bunker Hill. She comes of
Maine stock and she has liberal
quantities of the hard common sense
that is characteristic of the Down
East Yankee. She is q most unusual
combination of artistic temperament
and matter-of-factness. The COM
bination is all the more unusual since
she never allows one to interfere
with the other. but on the other
hand. always makes them mutually
helpful to her. In this rare COM
bination can be found sufficient rea-
son for the extraordinary success of
this remarkable artist.-Adv.
