IT is almost inevitable--in the

Control of the air when next dis

be decided, not by individual aces,
but by flights, swarms, flocks,
squadrons, fleets, clouds, and ava

NO FUN FOR

EXCESSIVE attention to the

is one Of the commonest sources
of irritation between husband and
wife, declares Princess Alexandra
Kropotkin in an article in this
weeks Liberty. 'Jt is hard
enough" the writer explains, 'for
men to understand a woman's
normal preoccupation with the de-
tails. which to her mind are the
essentials Of a successful home.
An attitude of exaggerated atten-
ton to such details spells irrita-
ton and misery. Watching the
domestic wheels go round is no
amusement for a work-weary

WILDERNESS AREAS IF NATIONAL PARKS
 NOW NUMBER 4
COMPLETION OF ROAD PROGRAM WOULD LEAVE 61, SAYS FOR
 EST SERVICE

Areas classed as wilderness" in the national forests of the United States, exclusive of Alaskan forests, totaled S5,75O square miles, according to sur vey of road conditions just completed by the Forest Service of the Depart ment of Agriculture.
 Approximately one-third of the gross acreage of the national forests is in cluded in "A areas, ranging from 360 to 1O,S59 square miles in extent, which are without roads.
 The results of the survey are sum- marized in the following statement just made public by the Department of Agriculture:
 The day of the great wide open spaces" is not yet past, nor is it in any immediate danger of passing, accord ing to the Forest Service.
 Consternation on the part of many nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts over the invasion of forest areas by highways and summer resorts led the Forest Service to undertake a study to determine just how much of the areas of the national forests could be classed as wilderness. The results showed that approximately one-third of the gross acreage of the national forests is still sufficiently "untamed" to come under that class, and that there are large areas which are in no immedi- ate danger of the encroachment of gasoline fumes, bathtubs and other marks of civilization.
 In making a study of the wilderness areas, the Forest Service adopted the widest possible margin of safety to minimize the possibility that some per- son might lay finger on a part of the map classed as wilderness and assert that he had driven his automobile to real wilderness" area was taken as comprising 10 townships, 360 square that. point. The minimum size of a miles, or 23O,Oo acres.
 It was determined that at present there are "A acres, ranging from 360 to 1O,S59 square miles in extent, which, so far as can be determined, are with out roads. The grand total area is S5,75O square miles, or an average of 1,15O square miles per area.
 If the proposed forest road system, as at present planned on paper, were 100 per cent completed, there would still be 61 areas ranging in extent from 36O square miles to 500 square miles to 5000 square miles, with a total area of 52,92O roadless square miles, and an average of 868 sections per area. These figures are exclusive of Alaska,
 "The situation is not so bad as some had feared" says L. F. Kneipp of the Forest Service. At present one-third of the gross acreage of the national
 forests, exclusive of Alaska, is in roadless areas of more than 0,00O acres in extent After all the roads our field officers have planned to date have been constructed, there will still be approximately one-fifth of the gross area of national forests in roadless areas of 10 townships or more" l Mr NF,c oh vii
