Forest Rangers Learn
Tricks Of lightning

Lightning plays no fayorites. It
picks on spruce, pine, fir. cottonwood,
hemlock- anything. 1t plays more
often over some parts of the hills than
others 1t will hit the same tree sew
eral times.
On the hill where / live there isn't
a tree Of an age of 200 years that
does not show lightning scars, and
the almost-human manner in which
such trees heal their wounds is a
marvellous revelation.
Lightning, when it strikes a vital,
maturing tree, leaves no burning
path; but when a dead snag or de-
vitaIized tree is struck there is i'm
minent danger that in the groove left
by the stroke bit of pitch or finder
will ignite and cause the tree to smol-
der and throw off large quantity of
smoke. This generally rises in spirals
straight up from the forest and ex-
pert observers become so clever that
they easily tell that kind of fire and
so notify the ranger Of what he may
expect before he sets out. Saturday

Ward 7. Van Orman, winner of the
Gordon Bennett cup in the interna-
tional balloon race. was the guest of
honor at a dinner on the President
Harding, and in witty speech about
sport he said:
'When is a man old? A man is
old, some claim, when he can no
longer make woman jealous.
ga lady doctor is authority for the
statement that man is old when he
will no longer kneeI down and tie d
