CITES THREE STEPS
IN SAVING FORESTS
Canadian Leader Says Fires in Tim
berlands Are Among Greatest
of Tragedies.
By the Associated Press.

Dy the Associated PreSS.
CHICAGO, April 24.-Preservativ
treatment Of wood, reforestation and
prevention of forest fires are the
three principal channels through
which transportation companies can
cooperate with the states and nation
in forest preservation. Sir Henry
w. Thornton, president Of the Cana
dian Railways, gave this outline at
the National Lumber Manufacturers
Association convention here.
The greatest of tragedies in forest
preservation work is the enormous
waste resulting from forest fires, Sir
Henry said, and recommended that
the public be educated concerning
the danger and losses Of such fires
before other precautions can be
effective.
"Our forest products have q great
advantage over our mineral wealth.
The minerals once mined can never
be remined but the fact that our
forests can be made to produce a
continuous crop merits the attention
of the nation"
A defense of the protective tariff
was made by John Henry Kirby of
Houston. Texas. president of the
Southern Tariff Association, who
warned his audience ''as Americans,
not to sit down and let the politicians

D. c. HEADS TAKE UP
HIGHWAY CHANGES
Hearing Announced for Sat-
urday on Plan to Preserve
Contours of City.

Plans for making important
changes in the highway scheme of the
District to preserve the natural con-
tours of the city will be considered
by the Commissioners at a public
hearing next Saturday morning at
10 o'clock, in the boardroom of the
District Building.
Eight alterations have been pro-
posed. If adopted. they will break
up rectangular lines and Substitute
thoroughfareS of more beauty, char
acterized by sweeping curves and
conforming to the city's topography.
Chartered street extensions through
the Washington Cathedral Close are
eliminated in the new program In
addition to some extensions in the
vicinity of Queens Chapel and Dlad-
enSburg roads, where 1t is now pro-
posed to allow commercial develop
ment and to provide for access by
sidings from the railroad.
Race Course to Become Street.
1t Is proposed to make the cne-
mile race course at the old Benning
track a street. with another bisecting
the eleptical infield. while Nebraska
avenue as originally planned be-
tween Conduit road and the Ameri-
can University grounds is slated for
abolition. and q curved aEenue fol-
lowing the route of the old Chain
Bridge road along the ridge is to be
substituted.
The plans also contemplate curv-
ing Foxhall road between Foxhall
Heights and Wesley Heights to follow
topography and eliminate expensive
grading. The same treatment would
be accorded the territory between
Rock Creek Cemetery and Fort Tot
ten, changing the lines of several
streets. Thirteenth street would be
curved around Fort Stevens to con-
serve the old fort site and developed
with a parkway connecting with
Sixteenth street. Straight streets
would be eliminated in FoXhall Village
and that section given more village
like treatment.
Commissioner Bells Comment.
Engineer commissioner J. Frank
lin Bell believes that the project is
one of utmost importance to all per-
sons interested in planning beauti-
full city. Amendments to the old
highway plan, he said were intend
ed to do away with flattening out the
city and making it's map one with
angular streets. The old plan, he
explained, slashed through property
with straight lines without regard
for beauty, natural contours or eX-
pense. while the new scheme would
require less expense for acquiring
property already improved, grading
and filing.
Plans have been approved by the
city planning committee of the Ma
tional Capital Park Commission. and
ne Comm :sSionerS called the public
hearing to give persons an Opportu-
nifty to register their objection.
