Safe From Forest Fires.

Maryland is in no danger from forest
fires Of such serious proportions as
those raging in California, according
to State Forester F. w. Beasley.
q He says this is due to the fact that
the forest fire danger season in Cali
fornia comedies with the tourist travel
and campers season, whereas the
danger season in Maryland is in the
early spring and late fall, before and
after the campers season.
Most Maryland forest fires originate
through the carelessness of local citi-
zens, he says.
The State Forestry Department
maintains large corps of fire war
dens with trained crews and the latest
fire-fghting apparatus at strategic
points throughout the State. Under
Maryland law these men have the
right to deputize any citizen to help
them when the need arises.

STATE
CAPITAL
ID Install New ROAD SIGNALS.

Annapolis
Use Of novel reflectors to warn mo.
florists of danger points along State
roads is planned by the State Roads
Commission.
These devices, consisting of eight
facets of colored unbreakable glass
backed by mirror surface, have no
light of their own, but it is asserted
they will pick up the light from auto.
mobile lamps and reflect it brilliantly
at a distance Of 1000 feet.
John N. Mackall, chairman and chief
engineer of the commission, said that
the device seemed important and
could be used ON roads where the cost
of flashing lights like those put up by
an advertising company would be pro-
hibitive.
Flashing lights have been installed
by an advertising company on the
roads from Elkton to Baltimore and
Washington" said Mr.. Mackall, "and
from the Pennsylvania line by way of
Cumberland to Hagerstown, and prob
ably will be extended, but the COM
pany is not willing to erect them ex-
cept on roads where traffic is heavy
for the reason that they cannot get
sufficient revenue from the advertis-
'ers.
"The commission cannot afford to
erect them, for the initial cost is $500,
not counting maintenance. These re-
Electors cost $45 and seem to answer
equally well. Our idea is to use them
ON roads where the more expensive
lights are not feasible.
"The same color code will be used
as in the flashing lights; that is. red
for railroad crossings and dead ends.
where the road makes an abrupt turn;
yellow for cross roads, green for inter.
sections and purple for mountain
grades, which the rules require mo.
torists to descend in second gear"
One of these refiectors has been
erected on Charles street avenue and
one at Club. and Edgevale roads, Ro-
land Park, and they are said to be
effective.

Assurance was given by Secretary Of
Commerce Hoover before he left WASH
ington last week for a two-month vaca-
tion that he would not call the third
radio conference before September. His
decision followed conference with gov
ernment officials including Judge Davis,
solicitor of the Commerce Department,
and Chief Supervisor of Radio Terrell.
1r>developed that the press of important
matters, the campaign. the heat, the de-
tails of the radio program and several
other difficulties interfered with holding
the proposed radio conference in Wash
ington this summer. The Secretary has
practically decided to call the conference
late in September although no official
pronouncement has been made yet.
This postponement is not without its
advantages :, The radio section of the
bureau of navigation is being expanded
and may have to be moved: the agenda
for the radio sessions has not yet been
worked out, and reports from the many
interests to be invited. giving their views
on subjects TO be considered by the con-
ference. are desired. The pan.American
electrical communication conference In
Mexico has not yet reported its attitude
toward radio in the Americas. and many
governmental off1c1alS active In Taulo
work and development are still in Mex
leo City.
Besides these reasons, Secretary
Hoover himself decided it was too hot
in: Washington and went on vacation.
1t is also believed that any recon-
mendations made by the conference as
to radio legislation would be more IA
vorably received by Congress II present
ed fresh in the fall, rather than If drawn
up now and held for three or four
months.
1t is understood that. while the con-
ference will be open to the press and
public, only representatives of the sew
eral branches of the industry, the anna
tenrs, broadcasters, engineers and listen
crs-in will be invited officially to par
ticpate in the deliberations. Special at
tention will be given to marine commune
cations-that is. ship ship and ship

terts of safety at sea.

and have their circuits SO adjusted as

have improved their radio communi-
cation systems, both as to range and
reliability, more than any other class
of craft.
Most of the empowered shore
naval stations have been re-equipped
with new or improved trarsmitters,
and considerable interference has
been eliminated. At Heeia, II. T.,

equipment for Pearl Harbor is now
being put in place. These transmit
ters will eliminate considerable ''mush
and harmonics" and improve local re-
ception. All other naval stations Will
soon receive apparatus Of this sort.
A new coupled radio circuit at
Annapolis, Nd. has been set up and
tested, eliminating interfering radi-
ations, but the range has been some
what reduced. Radio messages for
