ing thousands Of dollars daily for
its maintenance and leaving in its
wake losses Of millions. has been
waged for weeks through the
forests Of western United States.
The fight has continued on hun
dred fronts, with now and then "A
gain here or loss there. but with
out the aid of the ally that would
have decided the battle definitely
"A general heavy rainfall.
Most Serious Since 1910
The fire menace was more seri-
Gus the last season than any time
since the great fires Of 1910 in the
Pacific Northwest. when vast areas
Of valuable timber were destroyed
and q hundred lives were lost.
Fatalities this year have been
small in number, although hum
dreds of acres Of timber lands have
been burned over.
Airplane patrols, field telephones
and radio and an elaborate system
of lookouts serve under ordinary
circumstances to hold the fires in
check. But when general con-
flagration gets start and blankets
the countryside for miles with a
heavy pail Of smoke, the patrols
are unable to detect the smoke that
tells of a newly started fire.
Glasses OF Fires
Forest fires are generally Of
three classes-ground or brush
fires. trunk fires and crown fires.
The former creep over the ground,
burning the low growth. They may
do little damage to merchantable
timber, except to kill certain species
Of trees. Greater loss oftimes is to
the young growth which would
form the succeeding forest crop.
Trunk fires burn along the ground
and in addition run up the trees
burning them so as to make them
useless for commercial purposes.
Crown fires are those that sweep
through the tops of the trees, jump
ing for hundreds of yards at a
bound.
It is when the forest becomes a
holocaust that the fires run uphill
more rapidly than down the oppo-
site slope, sometimes leaping from
one hilltop to the next without
burning over the intervening val
ley. They soon generate their owl,
air currents.
Throw Spot Fires"
The giant flames throw "spot
fires" far and wide, fragments of
flaming trees being carried sky
ward by the terrific heat and cast
ahead in the path of the flames as
far as six miles.
To contest the advance Of ground
or brush fires, gasoline pumps, wet
gunny-sacks or blankets are EN-.
ployed and the system Of trench
ing is used. In fighting a trunk
tree to tree above the ground, back.
or crown fire that is burning from
firing sometimes is resorted to-
Unless the winds continue favor
able and blow the flames toward
the main fire, the back-fire may
soon break bounds and offer as
great danger and difficulty rs the
one it was intended to halt.

England's Most Remarkable

London, Oct. l.-LF-Mrs. EN-

daughters have been given the title
Of England's most remarkable
family trio.
Mother and daughters all sit
down at the same tea table, now
and then, but their interest in life,
and their aims, politically and re-
ligiously, and their methods of
bringing about their respective re-
forms designed to regenerate So
ciety, are as far apart as the poles.
Banned At Table
But they never discuss politics
or religion over the tea cups.
Mrs. Pankhurst, long known as
the militant suffrage leader, has
taken up the cudgel against Com
munism, while her daughter Sylvia
goes on, more energetically than
ever, advocating the teachings of
Lenin.
Miss Christabel, the eldest of the
two girls, is tremendously interested
in religion. She loathes politics.
Mother After Votes
Mrs. Pankhurst herself has join
ed the Conservative party and for
weeks has been addressing meet
ings in her endeavor to rouse the
British women voters against Com.
munisna and all its works. As one
who did her share in the effort ia

TO THE VOTERS or MONROE

1t is the height of my ambition
to see super-highway from Key

lieve / can secure State Aid for
widening and improving the pres
ent projected county road, IL | am
elected to the State Senate from
this district.
The present projected county
road, exclusive of toll bridges viii
cost Approximately $4,000 900. A
state road, sufficiently wide to in
duce maximum number of
visitors will cost approximately
three times this sum.
At the present time, Monroe
County is not in position to pay the
taxes on a super-highway, and the
only practical way to obtain q
wide, broad, smooth highway, is
through State Aid, "a
My record in the State Legis-
lature in 1921 shows that I oh
tanned special legislation for Non
roe County for roads, which, as
well known provided that the road
millage tax and the automobile
license taxes collected from Mem
roe County, be returned to Mon
roe County for use on its public
highways. i
The part that | took in securing
the passage of the 100000 bond
issue in 1928 is we'll known to
every person in Monroe County.
My statements that this bond is
sue would lead to other bond is

legislation passed to make the
