FORREST FIRE SUMMARY ISSUED

Forest fires during, the past summer
burned over total of more than $780,
900 acres within the Twenty-Five ma
tional forests of Oregon and Wash
irgton, according to figures just COM
piled by the District Forester, Port
land, Ore.
The report covers l,403 fires occur
ring on these national forests. OF this
total, 942 or 67 per cent were held
under one-quarter of nacre; an addi-
tional 81 or % per cent we're held
under 10 acres each. Only II per cent
of $50 of the fires exceeded 10 acres.
Lightning was responsible for 67S of
these fires or 48.4 per cent of the total.
The remaining SIG per cent, 725 fires,
were due to human carelessness, ignor-
ance or criminal righteousness, ac-
cording to the report.
Careless smokers again head the list
Of man-caused fires, being charged
with 1854 OF them. Campers rank next

policy whereby the name of the hos

written by any poet in recent year, all
because of the fine sentiment it ex-
presses.
That the former President shares
the grief and sorrow of Mrs. Coolidge
was told by him when year or more
ago he was pressed for his Yeason for
not accepting another nomination for
president and he said that from the
day of the death of their son, in 1924,
the office of President lost all its lure
an dattraction for him. Mr.. and Mrs
Coolidge always felt that had not they
beert in the White House the accident
that caused their sons life would not
have happened and that the price they
paid was too great for the reward they
received. The poem of Mrs. Coolidge
is but another expression of the great
sorrow of these distinguished people
and still further endears them to the
hearts of the American people.

PROCLAMATION

Whereas automobile accidents are
responsible for unnecessary loses OF
life, injuries to perso nand enormous
damage to property; and
Whereas, large proportion of these
accidents are directly traceable 70 the
failure upon the part of motorists to
observe the laws requiring equipment
and mechanism to be kept in proper
condition, or indifference to mechani-
cal defects known, which are without
the scope of the laws regulation; and
Whereas, The Motor Vehicle Code
makes it compulsory upon every resi-
dent owner of motor vehicle operat-
ed in the State Of Washington to sub
nit to inspection for certain mechani-
cal adjustments of his motor vheicle,
and, because the division of highway
patrol recognizes that mechanical de-
fects do exist in motto rvehicles not
specified for regulation in the motor.

accident producers, and because 1t is
the sincere purposes of this division to
remove every potential highway acct
dent factor;
Now, therefore, the period from Oc-
tober Z, 1929, TO October 81, 1929 is
proclaimed as Motor Vehicle Equip
ment Inspection period.
1 earnestly call upon all owners and
operators of motor vehicles to have
their motor vehicles inspected during
the above period first as required by
the provisions of the motor vehicle
code of washington, and second, for
other possible defects, in consideration
of benefits certain to result from TAX
ing every possible precaution in con-
formity to recognized safety standards,
and If such are discovered to have said

to the end that every registered motor
vehicle in Washington State may be
made sanely safe mechanically.
earnestly bespeak the cooperation

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK
BY Edison II. Waite

Col E. s. Gorrell president of the
Stutz Motor Car Company, says:
That there should be no place in the
great American system of publicly
owned highways for privately owned
bridges.
The existence of great number of
toll bridges at key points on the great
national and state highways creates
an anomalous situation. Through the
expenditure of public funds, great
highways are constructed leading from
metropolis to metropolis. The users of
these roads have paid for them
through taxation direct and indirect.
At some vital point on the road pri-
vate enterprise reaches out to demand
its tribute. The leech at the throat
of travel is the ubiquitous toll bridge.
In the past toll bridges, just as toll
roads. have been necessary for the de-
velopment of the country. The oppor-
tunity for private gain was necessary
to advance our frontiers. But now that
our economic development has prac-
tically freed us from the toll gate on
the post road why shouldn't the toll
bridge follow into oblivion?
The bridge is an integral part Of
the road. The people own the roads
why shouldn't they own the bridges
The roads are free. Is there any
logical reason why the bridges SHOULD
not also be?

GIVE THE COUNTRY CHILD
CHANCE

Rural school children constitute 584
per cent of the total enrolment OF
America, and their health, therefore, is
ar important part of our national well
fare, present and future, states the
Public Health League of Washington
But surveys show that it is not as
carefully guarded as is that of the city
child, physical defects that could be
corrected are more serious among
country children, and though living in
the midst Of plenty, they are found to
be under-nourished, due to lack of
knowledge Of food values rather than
to poverty or inability to get food.
In recent survey, particularly dis
appointing was the matter of nutrition.
The three "Ps"-pork, potatoes and
pancakes, we're the staple diet during
the winter months of many country
children; and milk, the most valuable
food for both children and adults, was
sadly lacking in their diet, though
many of them drank both tea and cof-
fee every day. The Importance OF
plenty Of pure milk for every growing
child cannot be overlooked If we are
to have healthy children.
Washington treats its rural children
better than does many states, nearly
every county has its county nurse, mos,
children get one health examination
a year; but there is much to be done
We must inspire rural teachers with 6
vision of health education, and give
them adequate training in the subject
we must teach the mothers how tt
intelligently feed their families; ant
we must convince the farmer tina
good health is good economy.
We are spending millions trying t
educate children retarded by poo
health. Money expended in judiciou
health program would result in in
creased economy and efficiency. Tit
health of the children should be th'
first consideration.

FROM A BROKEN HEART

Nobody can read the poem written
by Mrs. Calvin Coolidge on the fifth,
anniversary fthe death of her son,
without realizing the bleeding heart
that inspired it. This is particularly
true of parents who have lost a child
and can sympathize with the broken
hearted mother. All the glory, the
honor and distinction that came with
five years life in the White House, a
position that any normal woman In
the world would enjoy, could not ef-
face the sorrow caused by the death
of her son, Calvin, who was just at
tanning manhood when death took
him. The poem is a beautiful one,
written one night when Mrs. Coolidge
was wakeful and could not sleep for
thinking of her departed boy. For all
that it is considered one of the finest

SORT OUT YOUR woRMY APPLES.

The Horticulture force is having
trouble dealing with Uormy apples
offered for sale along Western Avenue
and various fruit stands and stores.
The horticultural laws of Washington
state in part that 1t shall be unlawful
for any person to import into this state
sell or otherwise disposeof any fruit
which is Or has been infected with San
Jose scale or other insect pests or the
larvae of the codling moth, and the
fact that any fruit bears the mark of
any such scale insect or is worm eaten
by any such larvae shall be conclusive
evidence that the fruit is infested.
PROVIDED: that nothing in this
section shall be construed to prevent
the growers of such infected fruit
grown within the state from manufac-
turing the same into by-product or
selling or shipping the same to a by
product factory.
All Inspectors are instructed to en-
force this law and will condemn all
boxes of apples found to be infected
with worms, or worm damage. 1t will
save considerable trouble both for the
horticultural office and the shippers
if the growers sort out the wornly APP
piles before they are shipped; otherwise
the apples vii be seized and disposed
OF according to law.
The offering for sale of worm infest-
ed fruit is misdemeanor under the
horticultural laws and if this practice
is not discontinued Immediately al
violators vii be prosecuted.

CHINESE IN PLOT
FACE DEPORTATION
U. S. Agent Indicates Three
Aliens in Opium Case May
Be Sent Home.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 13.-United
States District Attorney George Hat
field indicated today that three promi-
nent Chinese arrested here charged with
participation in a 100000 opium
smuggling plot, may be deported for
trial in Chinese courts.
Hatfield said he had been instructed
by United States Attorney General VIII
liam G. Mitchell at Washington to defer
further action against the Chimes until
a decision is reached with reference to
deportation. The decision, 1t was said,
is expected Monday.
Wing Kao, former Chinese vice con-
sui here; his wife, and Suen Foon, chan
cellor of the consulate, have been impli-
Gated in the plot. They are at liberty
under $4,000 bond each.
The arrests resulted from discovery in
Mrs. Kao's trunks when she recently
arrived here from Hongkong of a large
quantity of opium in tins. Mrs. Kao
protested her innocence and said the
trunks were sent on her consular frank
by friends in China to friends in the
United States and she presumed the
trunks contained presents. Customs
agents found in Mrs. Kao'S personal
baggage letters and documents in Chi
nese, which, it is alleged, disclosed the
details Of the smuggling plots.
Kao resigned from the consulate after
the seizure and was also formally sus-
pended by DR.. C. C. WI, Chinese Min
lister in Washington.
