GERMAN BOUNDARY
 LINE NOT SETTLED
Ten Years After Peace Survey
 OrS Are Still Busy

Berlin, Aug. 30 LP-Ten years land surveyors still busy fixing Ger many's new boundaries, with years more of work in front of them. Boundary commissions appointed by the allied and associated powers, assisted by German commission, labored for five years after the peace on laying down the new frontiers. They surveyed and mark ed about 2,00O miles of German ter ritory along the French, Belgian, Danish, Danzig and Polish borders and in the Saar region. Afterwards the Lithuanian frontier was fixed, but there still remains the intricate German Professionalism demarca- tion to be settled.
 A boundary treaty is in course of preparation between Prussia and Czechoslovakia, replacing old treaties with Austria and Bohemia dating from 1S4S, 1862 and 1869. A great number of enclaves on both territories have to be abolished or exchanged, and each side is jealously watching lest the other obtain some undue advantage. The final adjust ment of the Bavarian- -Czechslovakan and n-CzcChoSlovakian borders will probably take some years long CT.
 Trouble With Poland
 Polish boundaries were found to be the most difficult of all to ar range, as a whole series of laws had to be drafted governing the control of the Oder, Warthe and Netze basins.
 Germans bitterly complain of in- adequate access to the Vistula and the impossibility of keeping up dike protection for the low lying land around, under the present arrange ment, and there is more local an- tagonism on both sides of the border.
 "Sandbank Treaty.
 A special treaty with Lithuania became necessary just because a sandbanll made it impossible for ohlPS oil t-it llNel -heilltl to pass tA- cept through section under Lithu- anian jurisdiction.
 Much friction has also been caused over the new frontier ar rangements in the Eupen- Malmedv region which was assigned to Bel gium. Here a section of railway track runs right on the border line simply extending a free invitation to the smuggling fraternity. Certain roads belonging to Germany ran

BEHIND PRESIDENT HOOVER
IN CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM

Expressing himself as being IN
hearty accord with any constructive
move made by President Herbert
Hoover that would really benefit the
people Of northern Minnesota, Con-
gresham william A. Pittenger today
stated that he would inoorse Sucn
plans provided they would prove to
be beneficial and not a boomerang.
He pointed out that in the move
ment Of construction il was most es-
sential TO keep an eye on taxation so
that vast building program would
not overload the people Of Minnesota
with large increase in taxation.
so far the measures advocated
have not had tendency to do so. I
speak especially Of the Presidents
road building program Such a move
would be great thing for my district
and I am heartily in favor of a con-
structive road building program" said
the Minnesota member, The aid
which we viii receive from the federal
government viii keep down our taxes
and permit us to build a system or
roads that VIII be second TO none in
the nation"
Aside from the commercial ad-
vantages accrued from good roads
Congressman Pittenger also said that
a program Of this nature would give
employment to class of people who
were really in need of work.

ARROWHEAD ASSOCIATION LISTS
MATTERS Of IMPORTANCE.

Amending of the state auxiliary
forest law, cooperation with the gov
ernment IN providing a plan for the
sale of timber in the Superior Nat
ional forest, sponsoring a survey of
timber growth in the Chippewa forest,
aiding in the campaign to establish a
new q. s. forestry district in the
lake states, and campaigning against
proniScuous cutting of Christmas
trees are among the major projects
fOstered by the Minnesota Arrowhead
Association during the past year, ac-
cording to an annual summary of for
estry activities announced yesterday
by George A. Perham, executive sec
retary.
The report will be submitted to the
directors at their organization mees-

MIR. Perhamis review follows:
Assistance was given the state leg
islative committee at the 1929 session
IN amending the auxiliary forest law
which had been passed at the previous
session The smendment made the
law more workable by providing a
straight five cent tax per acre, plus
3 cents per acre for fire prevention,
instead Of the former provision of 8
per cent Of value. Under the older
form the proposition was not attract
i've to possible applicants as the
amount they would have 10 pay would
be too uncertain over long period OF
years.
As measure to relieve the tax SIT
uation In Lake and Cook counties the
association requested the United States
Forest Service to offer some timDer
in the Superior National Forest for
sale which request was granted Five
units or blocks Of land were cruise0
and mapped, and the timber on one

the movement was continued and fur

To GET CASH
FROM FORESTS

The national forests yield crop and
recreational dividends convertible into
United States treasury checks, mas
again been proved by the announce
ment Of Maj. r. z. Stuart, chief for
ester. in a letter TO Governor Chris
tianson, stating that Minnesota would
receive as her share Of forest receipts
the sum of S7,12507.
This sum represents 25 per cent of
all forest receipts, said E w. Tinker
Of Milwaukee, district forester, and Is
to be expended for the benefit of
public schools and public roads in the
counties IN which national forests
exist
The Chippewa National forest is re-
ceiving as its share S5-50731 and the
Superior National forest viii receive
S675.67 making a total of S7,12507.
An additional 10 per cent of forest
receipts is also available to the depart
ment Of agriculture for the con-
Struction and maintenance of roads
and trails within the National forest
boundaries in the states from which
such proceeds are derived. This funo
amounts to s2,85003.
In addition to the amounts received
from sale Of Federal forest products,
s29.879 has been apportioned from the
forest highway road act for exependi-
ture by the department Of agriculture
on highway projects within the state
Of Minnesota for the fiscal year, be-
ginning July l, 1929.
There is also apportioned to this
state under the Federal forest roao
acts, fund for the development Of
forest roads and trails inside the nat
ional forest boundaries, amounting
this year to s19,780.
This viii make q total of $50 634 10
available from forest service funds

Commenting upon the Is per cent
fund from the sale Of forest products.
Mr., Tinker pointed out that at present
the work on the national forest pur-
chase units Of the Lake States dis
trict is largely that Of reconstruction
or the "Salvaging" of vast areas Of cur
burned or barren lands, the culture of
a type Of forest soil that had nee
essarily been abandoned by private
interests.
Mr.. Tinker pointed out that next to
timber sale receipts, which amounted
to S24.406.76, the receipts from sum-
mer homes, resorts, etc, on Mime
sofa national forests amounted TO
S3,670.40. The increase in building Of
summer homes, both within and with
out national forest boundaries, means
not only health and fresh outlook To
the city worker, but ready money"

NEED OF SAFETY WORK NOT
RESTRICTED TO BIG CITIES.

A service club IN one of the smaller
cities of the state wrote the Mime
sofa Safety Council asking what the
program of the state organization
would do for the smaller towns. a
recent bulletin by the Council gives
the main points of the reply made.
Before the days of the automobile,
the bulletin states, people who were
addicted to careleSSness made them
selves troublesome principally but IN
their home communities, whereas now,
a carleSs driver can be q potential
accident factor IN a dozen different
communities within a single day. One
of the major aims of the state safety
body is said to be the bringing about
Of increased enforcement Of observ-
ance Of traffic regulations with the
aim Of getting the habitual disre-
garder of safety practices singled our,
as there can be no question, according
to Col 2. w. Matson, president of the
safety council, that with a leSsening
Of careleSSneSs in the operation OF
motor vehicles on the streets and high
ways the accident totals of the state
can be materially lowered
Reference is also made to the re-
port Of the home and school safety
education division Of the Minnesota
Safety Council for October. BY this,
it is pointed out. fourteen cities had a
total of 182 accidents involving school
students. Accidents IN Duluth aver
aged 81 per thousand of students,
while the average for thirteen other
smaller places was 4.8 per thoIls-
and It is only reasonable, the bu,-
letin states, TO give measure Of credit
for the better showing by the larger
place to the safety work done by the
Duluth safety council in cooperation
with city and school authorities.
Safety education as a regular study
IN all schools of the state is a second
of the major aims Of the Minnesota
Safety Council. the bulletin states.
