TANNING THE FOREST

Alul1NO he TUNED
There is reason to believe
the time approaches when
fires in the New Jersey pines
will no longer be regarded as
unavoidable cause of heavy
loss. What concerted and
systematic effort can do in
eliminating this kind of waste
is illustrated by William L.
Bazeley, Massachusetts cont
missioner of conservation, in
an address at a conference
of fire chiefs and fire ward
ems.
The best way, of course, TO
prevent loss by forest fires
is to prevent the fires. In the
campaign against the Cape
Cod hazard, efforts were
made to educate the public
of the region to an adequate
realization of what bit of
carelessness might mean in
flame and smoke and black
ened timber. 1t is not surpris-
ing to read that in this phase
of the campaign the moving
picture played its part. There
is no way of making estimate
of the number of fires that
were prevented by this
means. But when it comes to
the record Of the fires ex.
tinguished and the extent Of
damage, figures are available.
1t is an impressive showing.
Because of the burning over
of land affected by the real
estate boom in the Cape
towns, the number of forest
fires showed increase of 90
per cent as compared with
the preceding years record,
but the area burned over
was decreased by 90 per cent.
The two fire wardens who
travelled $4,000 miles in
patrolling the danger area
evidently did not travel in
vain.
Work of this kind is in
keeping with the tendency of
the time. The American
people and their Govern.
ment agencies are waking up
to the necessity and value o.
conservation. Time was, an |
within the memory of per-
sons still living, when few
people worried about forest
fires. The resources of the
great woods were looked
upon as inexhaustible. 1t
was time of wanton waste be-
cause Of unchecked fires, and
waste equally reckless be-
cause of unscientific lumber
ing. But that time has gone
by.
The region is obviously
one excellently suited as the
scene of a demonstration of
the means of preventing and
extinguishing forest fires. 1t
is a wooded region to which
resort great numbers of
people. The fire hazard is
consequently high. But what
has been done elsewhere
serves to show that even in
this region destructive forest
fires are not to be regarded
as necessary evils.

POPE LEADS IN
HOLIDAY RITES
Rome Observes Feast of
Apostles Today.

BIZ United Press
ROME, June 29.-The Feast of
the Apostles st. Peter and st. Paul
protectors of the Eternal City. was
celebrated today with all its his
toric solemnity. 1t is recognized as
the biggest Roman holiday.
The Fascist regime, following its
policy of observing great reverence
for the church. reinstated 1t as
government holiday.
Pope Plus XXI, attended by his
court and by the Sacred College of
Cardinals, descended from his pri-
vate apartments into the Vatican
Basilica of st. Peters which had
been closed to the public in order
that the Pontiff might do homage
before the bronze statue of the
Apostle.
All day long thousands CT Romans
and foreign visitors filed before the
statue, devoutly kissing its toe,
which has become worn out during
the course of many centuries by the
millions of kisses of men, women
ard children.
In the evening the facade Of ST.
Peters will be illuminated.

CHI TIE-UP LOOMS
Filling Station Men May
Also Strike.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, June 29.-Paralysis of
all the city's transportation means
surface cars, 81" trains and motor
traffic appeared likely today
through two threatened strikes.
Officials of the Garments Union
today will present wage ultin1atum
to officials of the street railways de-
handing that some concession be
given the union demands. In the
event of refusal strike conference,
which probably will end with gen.
eral strike call, will be arranged.
Added to this came the announce
ment that gasoline filling station at
tendants had voted to strike unless
their demands for wage increases
from $40 to $3.50 month were met
1t was pointed out that a strike of
gasoline filling station attendants
would seriously handicap all motor
traffic, as it would be difficult to
man sufficient gasoline stations to
meet the demand of the city's mo-
florists.

BRITISH ISLES
DARKENED BY
SUMS ECLIPSE
Millions Watch Overcast
Sky Throughout North
ern Europe.

LONDON, June 29.-Nearly three
million acres of land in England
and Wales were thrown into almost
total darkness today over the total
eclipse of the sun swept over the
British Isles.
This is the first total eclipse OF
the sun that has visited Great Bril-
tain since 1924 and it will be the
last seen here until 1899.
Falling first in the Atlantic Ocean,
a little. southwest of Ireland, the
moons shadow reached land where
Carnarvonshire, Wales juts out into
the st. Georges Channel. The time
was then about 5:23 a. m, Green
wich Mean Time.
Passing over North Wales and
the Irish Sea the shadow in It's
totality fell in England between
Liverpool and the south and Fleet
wood at the north--an approximate
stretch of 80 miles.
The shadow spewt over Lam
cashire, Yorkshire and Durham to
the North Sea, reaching the east
coast of England between Sunder-
land on the north and Saltburn on
the south.
Passing out of England, the shadow
fell over the North Sea and travelled
over Scandinavia, the Artic and
Northern Siberia, its long journey
ending near the Aleutian Islands In
the Boring Sea.
Had Long Shadows
The reason for the great length
of the eclispse is that the suns alti-
tude when the eclipse occurred was
only between 10 and Is degrees from
the horizon taking the form of a
long shadow rather than q round
spot as is the case when the sun is
directly overhead.
The speed of the shadow was ap-
proximately 80 miles a minute.
Observers of the phenomenon to-
day can be conservativeiy estimated
at millions.
Not only did people from all parts
of the British Isles flock to the
area to- see the sight which occurs
so infrequently in civilized coun-
try, but people from all over the
world made special trips to England
and Wales to observe the eclipse.
Scientists Busy
All last night the roads leading
to the area were crowded with pri-
vate automobiles and trucks carrying
thousands of people who could not
spare the time to spend more than
one night to get few seconds
glimpse of the eclipse.
Hotels in all of the major cities
and towns in the area were crowded
to capacity with thousands of peo-
pie who are making a holiday of the
event.
Aside from the millions of curious
people, there were some of the most
famous scientists and astronomers
in the world gathered in what were
considered the best spots to observe
the eclipse.
