FOREST WEEK IS SET BY COOLIDGE
Urges We Study How to Main.
 tain Our Timber

Washington. Feb. 27 R-The week of April 22-2S was set apart today in a proclamation by President Coolidge for nationwide observance of American forest week by public discussion of our forests and of what must be done to safeguard and re- store them."
 The president emphasized partieu- larly the need for expressing the forest fire evil, and pointed out the benefits that will accrue from mak- ing the forest lands of the United States fully productive of continuous timber crops.
 For several years special week has been set apart for public dis cussion of our forests and of what must be done to safeguard and re- store them." said President Coolidge, "among the agencies making for progress in this direction, American forest week has proved its usefulness and I am glad to proclaim it again and to announce that Canada is again concurrently observing a simi- lar week.
 Suppress Fires.
 ''The rehabilitation of our forests demands first of all that the forest fire evil be suppressed. Many of cur forested states, with the CO., operation Of timberland owners have undertaken organized protection agains' fires; and in recent years, t-.- T the Clark McNary law, the federal government has given its support to the movement. This great cooperative enterprise must be extended and strengthened until every forested county in the United States is safeguarded against forest fires.
 But we are still far from the goal of complete protection. Every year, on the average, S0.0O0 fires scourge our woodlands. steadily undermining their vitality. For this bad situa- tion, the blame falls equally on us all. Public agencies rarely provide adequate protection against fire, the timberland owner is too often indif- ferent to his property. the forest worker is too often ncglectful of the future forest. The average citizen is too often careless with fire in the woods. We must all gain such re- spect for the forest that its destruc- tion through indifference or care- lcssness shall be unthinkable.
 We cannot permanently abuse our forests with impunity. One fourth of our American soil is best

OPPOSES B|NGHAM'S WRIGHT MEMORIAL
Federal Commission Disapproys
 Plan for Kitty Hawk Lighthouse
BY GEORGE H. MANNING


 Washington Bureau of the N. B. Herald)
 Washington. B. C.. Feb. 27 - Sem ator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut is backing g proposal which would bring back to the United States the Kitty Hawk" the first airplane which flew successfully.
 The Connecticut senator and avia- tor Was joint author with Representa- tive Linrsay Warren of North Caro- limo of the act autorixing the erec- ton of memorial to Wilbur and Or vile Wright at Kitty Hawk. N. C., where the plane rose from the ground.
 Under the terms of this act, Sec retary of War Dwight F. Davis. Sec- retary of the Navy Curtis D. Wilbur. and Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover were named as a commission to recommend the form the Wright memorial should take.
 They recommended the erection of la stone Coast Guard station with a tower carrying a powerful light. Un- der the law, tho commission of fine arts and the joint committee on the library had to approve the plan for the memorial. They have disapprov- ed the Davis s-Wilbur-H Hoover recom- mendation, and say that under no circumstances will it be accepted.
 Charles Moore. chairman of the commission does not see how coast guard station could ever be called a memorial to the Wright brothers, and does not think there is authority in the Bingham Warren act for erecting such a memorial.
 Senator Bingham plans to offer an amendment in the senate to the ap- propriation providing that q compe- tition shall be held for the design of the memorial. They feel that the most noted artists of America will submit designs for such memorial Chairman Moore thinks a museum should be part of the memorial and Senator Bingham and Repre- sentative Warren hope that the Kitty Hawk can be brought back from England, where it has been loaned to the British museum for two years and placed ill the Wright memorial This plan, they feel, would make a most happy solution of the contro. versy which has ragged between the Smithsonian institution and Orville Wright ever since the Smithsonian gave another plane credit for being the first which ''in the opinion of ex. perts might have flown." as the in scription reads.
 Senator Bingham has made { strong plea to Orville Wright for thu restoration of the Kitty Hawk to tht scene of the first triumph of aviation
 The whole plan for the memoria has, in the meanwhile. been referred back to the cabinet commission.

 T don't blame Therma. She did not know" said Mrs. Hope Kelly, wife No. l.
 Settle it between yourselves" said Kelly from the neutrality of his hospital cot, but the hospital atten- dants would not allow wife No. ? to remain in the room. So wife No. l was sending bulletins to her at each change in the patients condition.

WILL ASK POLICE TO
 CONTROL PARIS DANGERS
Says Men Who Prey on American Women should Have
 License.

Paris, Feb. 27 (UP)-Municipal Councillor Fernand Laurent intends to ask police authorities to regulate the professional dancers of Mont martre and other cabarets to the ex- tent of forcing them to obtain regu- lar police permits to carry on their exotic profession.
 Laurent, he said today, has been impressed by the fact that the young men, 90 per cent of whom are Bal kans. with an oily flow of language as their only stock of trade. are not regulated like female habitues of dancing places: and moreover. that they often appear in police stations charged with stealing jewelry and money from dowagers whom they conduct through the mazes of the fox trot and tango,
 The dancers have luxurious auto mobiles and fancy bachelor apart ments. They are arrayed gorgeously. They spend the afternoons in the Bois De Boulogne or in the tea rooms of fashionable hotels. AS night comes on they take themselves to Montmartre, where their experienced eyes pick out instantly the wealthy but not too youthful British and American matrons who may be there alone and who want to enjoy once again the thrill of whirling around the dance floor with a beautiful man.
 Why" Laurent asks. should certain ladies attached to the danc- ing establishments be obliged to have cards from the police in which their profession is announced when these young men circulate freely without the slightest control?"

TRUCKINGC CAPACITY MOUNTING RAPIDLY
Freight Weight Space Almost
 Doubles in Seven Years

Commercial motor vehicles oper- ating under Connecticut registra- ions in 1927 had aggregate carrying capacities of 12e.sSs.Oo0 pounds. of 61,194 tons almost twice the freight weight space afforded by trucks on the highways seven years ago. Since 192O state motor vehicle department records show. the average single ve- hicle capacity has increased by 500 pounds, ore one fourth of a ton. and the total capacities of all vehicles has increased at the rate of 1000 tons year.
 The gain in capacities of these ve- hicles is considerably beyond the rate of increase of commercial reg istrations. While capacities have nearly doubled since 1920. the truck registration increase has been only SS per cent. Last year there were 4S,62O registrations and in 1920 there were approximately 26.S00 with capacities of 63.S64.000 pounds or 31.932 tons. The average capacity for each vehicle last year was $500 pounds and in 1920 it was 2,s00 pounds.
 A considerable gain over the pre- Nious year is also reported for 1927. The number of commercials regis- tered increased by 3,00S, while the tonnage" increased by 4,S31 tons or S.661, 400 pounds.
 Approximately three-fourths of the commercial vehicles registered in 1927 were of one ton or less ca pacity. The total capacities of this group. however. including 30,Ss7 ve- hicles. were less than 40 per cent of the tonnage" of all vehicles regis tered. The greatest carrying capa- city was represented in the 2.14O trucks registered to carry five tonh or more, the total for these being more than 21,500,000 pounds or 10.- 750 tons. In 1920 the trucks ranging from one to one and one half tons capacity led both as to the number registered and total capacities.
 There were 19,6s0 vehicles regis tered last year as having capacity limits of 1,5o0 pounds. while the to- tai capacities were approximately oS.oO0,000 pounds or 14,000 tons. The one-ton trucks numbered 1,197. In the group with capacities of from one to one and one-half tons there were 5.245 with carrying space for 7.G73 tons.
 There were 2,c07 trucks with ca 7,Hcities of two tons or slightly less and total capacities of 4,394 tons: 1,224 trucks of 1-2 tons or less with total capacities of 3.097 tons; 1,077 trucks of 1-2 tons with total capacities of 3,76s tons; 1909 trucks of ] tons or less with capacities of 3,s11 tons: 470 of { tons or less with capacities of 1880 tons. and 2,e51 trucks of more than { 1-2 tons with total capacities of 1l200 tons.
