EXPERIMENTS INTEREST FOREST FIREMEN

University of Idaho, Moscow
series of experiments of interest to
forest fire fighters was conducted
this last year by two seniors in the
University of Idaho school of forestry
The purpose of the experiment
was to determine time and tempera.
ture necessary first to char, and then
to ignite the material, and to deter
mine the length of time the test ma
ter1al would hold the glow or live
coal. Decayed wood was used in one
test and live wood was used in the
other. The effect of different mois-
ture contents was also recorded.
The results indicated that rotted
wood burst into flame at much
lower temperature than sound wood
and invariably held the glow much
longer. Brown stringy rot of white
fir caused by the Indian paint fungus
carried the glow longest, while the
white pocket rot produced by Ira
metes PM glowed but short time.
OF the three rots tested the brown
stringy rot was the easiest to ignite
The results obtained with the white
pocket rot approached the results OBJ
tanned for sound wood.
The moisture content of the sound
and rotted test pieces was found to
have a decided influence upon the re-
suits. > The temperature and the
length Of time necessary to char and
ignite the test pieces was increased
in moisture content and in most
cases the period of glow was greatly
shortened. In sound wood 1t was
noted that the sapwodo of the spe-
cies tested held the glow much
longer than the heartwood, the mois-
ture content being equal In brown
rotted wood of low moisture content
the glow continued until the test

A trip to the village was always as

seemed to Bill that this time he was
even more than ordinarily elated.
Moreover, his green and black plaid

Bill, II have feast for u.s. Acan

Hartman grinned, and set down his
axe. He, also, was happy.

went to the water pail and prepared
to wash for supper.

"Malloy?" achoed Bill, stupidity.

with bang. "Mademoiselle Marie

He sat down heavily at the table, his
appetite gone. "That girl / mean

"Peaches Time"

tunately Georgia isn't the only state
where peaches blushing on the trees
vie with the cheeks of susceptible
young ladies'. For even the ultra
modern girl can blush though she
Is not so famous for the talent as
her grandmother was.
Peaches and cream time, too.
And from that deduction. we get
peach ice cream time. There Is no
more welcome season in the year
to the person who appreciates deli
cacy Of flavor combined with the
cooling wholesome goodness of ice
cream.
Fresh peaches flood the markets
for few weeks then they are
gone. Lemon-c cling and free-stone.
they present an infinite variety of
flavor SO that the selective palate
may choose those higher in acid or
the softer yellow peach without its
cutting tang. Like most fruits. the
fresh peach Is of great value in the
diet because of Its carbohydrate
content. Carbohydrates. you know.
are the foods in which carbon. hy-
drogen and oxygen are found with
the latter two in the same proper
ton as in water. AS they are nee
essary elements in the body peach
es form a tasteful way of intro
ducing them.
Vice cream manufacturers use
many bushels of this delicious fruit.
The fruit Is sorted. washed, peeled
and sugared with pure granulated
sugar. Row upon row. the peaches
are laid away In kind Of dry pack
preserving method and placed in
huge refrigerating rooms In order
that the public appetite for fresh
peach ice cream may be satisfied
as long as possible. This process

in using material so radically diff
ferent in form and content will yield
to experience, at the hands of the
vigorous and enthusiastic teachers
who compose the staff of the junior
school. The teachers of the senior
school will come to realize that it is
their function not to complain Of
the lack of preparation of pupils
who come to them, but rather to find
out what they have already been
taught and to carry on their educa-
ton from this point.
IF the program of testing, ex-
ploration and guidance has been
well carried out in the junior school,
the subsequent work of the upper
school will reach higher level of
achievement than we have ever
known. 1t is the task of all engaged
at any level in the secondary school
to see the essential unity of the
entire process of education and to
work together with different meth
DDS of instruction and social control
in the various grades, for the at
tainment of school aims.

the flames shifted and ate their way
for half a mile into the woods. the
fire was stopped on an old wood road
after men from the inn and equip
ment from Sudbury, West Sudbury
and Marlboro had engaged it for
nearly five hours.
Mr.. Ford hurried down the road
when the fire was at it's height and
assisted in directing the forces, aug

A chemical truck from the inn had
preceded him. and it was its driver,

life.
Delcross drove his truck too fer
into the woods for safety, and be-
fore he knew it the flames were roar

ground to go into action, but leaped
quickly for the truck and wrapped a
raincoat about his head. He tried
to drive the machine back, but
could not, and ran with the fire snap
ping at his heels leaving the cheml-
cal to destruction. Another chemical
was sent from Boston to take it's
place In the firing line. The Wayside
Inn people sent out machine used
to spray trees with poison, and
chemicals were poured into its tank
to be sprayed upon the flames.
The Wayside Inn was bought by
Mr.. Ford a few years ago and since
then he has busily collected antiques
and old furniture to place within it.
An old fashioned sleigh and hay
rake over 100 years old are among
the treasures now there, and the old
Concord stage coach is housed in a
