BETTER FORESTRY
Need Of Idaho, Says Bulletin
Prevent Fires.

Outstanding needs for better
forestry in Idaho, outlined in .
bulletin issued by the school Of
forestry, University Of Idaho, are
constructive new forestry legisla-
ton, technical forest administra-
ton free from political vicissi-
tudes," and additional funds for
fire protection. The school has
for its slogan, "Keep fires out Of
Idaho forests; it can be done"
Review OF the seasons fires in
Idaho shows total of 1867 on all
forests, lightning leading the list Of
causes, with smokers second. The
season was especially hazardous
because of light snowfall last
winter, followed by dry April and
May. The early fires did not cause
heavy losses, but there was consid-
erable damage to the young growth,
the bulletin says. In the Clear
water region more than 100 fires
were set by one lightning storm in
July. The national forests north
of the Salmon river had 488 fires
in the first 20 days of July. Seri-
Gus conditions again existed in
August and early September, and
some losses were sustained, but at
no time after July 20, the bulletin
says, were fire protective organiza-
tions severely taxed to meet the
situation.
The bulletin says that Idaho's
fires, although relatively small for
the season, were still too large, be-
cause they were chiefly Of a pre-
ventable nature.
1.-The practice of forestry on .
large scale in Idaho" continues
the bulletin, lis impossible with
out effective fire protection. The
lumber industry cannot continue
indefinitely on its present scale IN
Idaho unless FIRE losses are greatly
reduced. The annual cut OF
timber, plus the annual fire loss, IS
in excess OF the highest estimates
Of annual timber growth. Which

ed lands and uncertain and de-

directed youth. Some errors are no
doubt made as first offenders some
times come back. But on the whole

How many car owners realize
exactly what composes the lus.
trous finish of the vehicles when
they come from the factory? As
a matter of fact the finish Of the
modern motor car consists OF sew.
eral coats Of material and an elias
tic nature to act as a foundation.
On this is laid more coats Of color
and color varnish. And finally
there is laid over all a thin trans
parent skin of varnish to protect
the. color from the ravages Of wind
and weather.
This surface protection is sensi-
tive to heat, cold and dust, sand,
mud, grease, oil and other foreign
substances that 1t must perforca
come In contact with during its
career. Various of these agents
tend to draw the strength from
the varnish and some of them ac-
tually dissolve and remove the pro
tecting finish of the cars color.
Protection For Finish.
The only sure way OF protecting
the finish Is to remove all such for.
eign substances or liquids as rapid.
~ as they are found upon It. The
only safe rule to follow is to wash
the car every day or as often as Il
comes back to the home garage
The Washington times., 1924-10-22

from a trip. OF course this Is
somewhat of q task, but the vehicle
certainly should be washed every
time 1t has been out IN rain or on
oiled roads. Mud always contains
chemicals and generally these oct
tntmically on the cars paint. Get 1t
off before 1t has a chance to dry.
Water is the only real solvent for
use on stained body surfaces. Flow
the water, which should be at tenn
perature between fifty and sixty de-
greeS Fahrenheit, onto the surface
from hose without a nozzle. Just
enough pressure should be used to
send the water out of the hose about
six inches. Float the mud off with
continued application Of the stream
of water, rather than try to drive 1t
off by pressure. After the body has
been washed, dry the surfaces with
chamois cloth, which has been
soaked in water and wrung out dry.
If part Of the body dries before you
are ready to use the channels, wet
the whole surface again before dry
ing. Do not wash the car in direct
sunlight, as this causes too rapid
drying. Do not wash hood while it
- Sill nut.
VaseIine for Road Tar.
In case you get road tar on the
body, the best agent to use Is vase
line. This softens the tar, SO that
it may be wiped off without injury
TO the surface underneath. If the
tar has hardened, a tar remover,
which you can get in the accessory
stores, is probably the best. In case
the tar leaves greasy stain, after
1t has been removed, clean 1t off with
sparing application Of soap and
water.
But after all, the real way to keep
any car looking new and lustrous, is
to give 1t plentiful applications OF
cold, clear water, as soon after for.
eign matter has settled on the pol.
ished surfaces as possible.
