THE season for forest fires is at hand
and the Department Of Agriculture
is out to see what can be done about
combating the huge annual loss to the
timber Of the country. particularly in
the South, where millions OF acres are
burned over each year.
Unlike the huge fires in the West,
when only blackened Stumps remain
to point to the spot where sturdy
trees stood before the flames swept
over them, the fires Of the South do
not kill the trees so extensively, but
wound them so that they are easy
prey to the insects and fungi that Slow
" eat their lives away.
OF course, some types of trees are
totally destroyed, but the tall, long
leaf pines escape with burns around
the bases when the fires creep along
the surface of the ground. It Is these
little scars, however, which do the
damage, for they make point OF en-
trance for insect and plant life which
creeps gradually up the trunks OF the
trees.
Naturally, the best timber comes from
the base of the trees, where no limbs
bring in defects and when this por-
ton of the tree Is made worthless by
the fires, the tree has little value for
numbering purposes.
Frequently the result Of wide
sweeping fire Is the springing up of a
less valuable and often scrubby growth
Of trees, Of different nature from
the excellent timber which has fallen
before the flames.
The damage to the woodlands is not
only to the trees alone, but to the soil
and the whole countryside suffers as
a consequence.
Should forest be on q rnountainside,
and the fall of pine needles and leaves
be burned OF by forest fire, erosion
Of the land Is rapid, and there Is nothing

Buying Shoes.

THE female of the species is far
deadlier than the male, so far as
the pocketbook is concerned. when it
comes to purchasing shoes, the Depart
ment of Commerce survey for 1927 in
dicates. This greater deadliness begins
early In life, too, for just as women
outdistance men in the purchasing OF
footwear, so do girls and misses sur
pass boys and youths.
The one indication of silver lining
for the dark cloud is in the fact that.
whereas more shoes, to the extent OF
22,500, 600 pairs, were purchased in 1927
over 1919, the last prior census, the
cost dropped nearly $200,000,000

trict, thereby establishing her qualities
Of leadership, which have served her in
such good stead in her aldermanic
campaigns.
In these campaigns she covered her
district with personal calls, announcing,
II am Ruth Pratt and want to repre-
sent you on the board of aldermen"
This plan was, of necessity, supple
mented with personal letters in the con-
gressional campaign, and there hocked
to her assistance great corps Of volun-
teer workers.
THE political career of Mrs. Owen
began at the tender age of S. when
her father, william Jennings Bryan,
was elected to Congress, for she fire.
uuently accompanied him to the 'ses-
sions and listened awe-struck to the
procedure. She was in her eleventh
year when he became candidate for
President, and she was so keenly inter-
ested in all political questions under
discussion that she knew every plank
in both platforms In her fathers
third presidential campaign In 1908 she
acted as his secretary.
AS the wife Of British Army officer,
Mrs. Owen has spent much of her life
abroad, living for some time both In
London and Egypt. She is an accom-
plished linguist and a lover OF music
and of the outdoors.
"I have a large family of children
whose company thoroughly enjoy,
SAYS Mrs. Owen. 1.-THE evenings, which
we spend together enjoying music, are
delight to me. My elder daughter
compoSes music, my eldest son writes
the verses. My youngest son and daugh-
ter and enjoy singing and my mother
sings with us. My children and I also
swim together and we all love to travel
but most Of all love the companion
ship of a good book. Authors that
remember most gratefully are Thomas
Hardy and Joseph Conrad"
Mrs. Owen is a regent OF the Uni
versity of Miami and q member OF the
faculty Of that Institution.
Mrs. Norton has the distinction o.
being the first Of her family to hold
any kind Of public ONCE. She was

kind or piece of work to another and
continues to carry on. Whenever an
airplane can be used to further or
facilitate a job, she uses it, for she is
devotee of air travel.
"a woman In the Presidents cab
met is not an improbability," said Mrs.
Rogers, but she doubts where one of
her sex will attain to the White House
Essentials in a woman seeking office
are the desire and the capacity to serve
and the ability to work constantly, says
Mrs. Rogers.
Mrs. Roges' first public wok was
In the World War, when she made
survey of the hospital needs in North
ern France, England and Ireland at
the request of Gen. Pershfng. So earn
est and consistent Is her interest in
the welfare of World War veterans. as
manifested by her successful guidance
of the bill carrying the veterans Sl5,-
100000 appropria lions, and by her
neyer-flagging interest in the veterans
at Walter Reed Hospital, that she is
known among them as the "angel OF
Walter Reed"
In an effort to overcome the eyer-in-
creasing popularity of silk and to throw
the spotlight of publicity on cotton. Mrs.
Rogers instituted a cotton contest in
her home city, Lowell, noted for its
many cotton mills. Twenty-Five cash
prizes were offered to the school girls
making the best cotton dresses. Every
year the contest grows in scope and
interest. Last year there were 500 con-
teStantS. t
Although Mrs. Rogers lays no claims
to accomplishments in the culinary
arts, she confesses to special fondnesS
for two delicacies and gives the recipes
for both:
Fruit cup for six-neople- Six oranges,
box Of strawberries, 1ialf cup Of sugar,
juice Of six oranges. Wash, hull and
drain the strawberries. Remove every
particle of white from the oranges, d.
vide into small pieces. Use one orange
for each person and four strawberries.
Put the Juice of one orange into each
cup and divide the sugar equally into
each cup. II the berries are small, use
more.

MRS. LANGLEY probably brought
to her Office more actual Washing
ton experience than any other Repre-
sentative. Beginning In 1908, she served
as clerk in the Office of her father,
James M. Gudger, jr., a member Of
Congress from North Carolina. Her
husband was member Of Congress for
20 years. During the first IA years she
was clerk in his office, and during the
remaining six years she was clerk of
the committee on public buildings and
grounds, of which her husband was
chairman. She was elected to Congress
in 1926 and reelected in 1928.
'.The chief channel through which
women achieved suffrage was that of
education, for which even the woman's
home duties prominently fitted her."
said Mrs. Langley. And 1t is my firm
belief that there should be depart
ment of education in the Federal
Government, over which woman
should preside, and With the ac-
knowledged determination Of the pre-
sent administration to serve in every
possible way the ends of human needs,
this will be accomplished during the
administration of President Hoover. It
Is also certainly not impossible for
woman some time to become President
of the United States
Mrs. Langley has always been deeply
interested in civic and club work, and
was one of the organizers and first
president of the Woman's Club of
Pikeville, KY.
MY club experience was a decided
advantage to me In public speaking
and In work that required parliament

the civic and philanthropic activities
of her home city. Her hobbies are
child welfare and home building. Her
favorite recreations are motoring and
walking, and her idea of a vacation is
to get away from work and live in nat
ural surroundings.
ssMy big interest in politics is to or
garize women to a better understand
ing of their potential influence and
strength, and to arouse enthusiasm in
civic and educational affairs" says Mrs.
Norton. my message to women is to
keep an open mind and absorb all the
information possible regarding ques-
lions of importance to community. State
and national affairs; also to take an
individual interest in such questions, to
arouse interest wherever and whenever
It is found necessary and, above all
things, to avoid taking the opinions of
uniformed people.
"a woman seeking Office should
possess ability, honesty, loyalty, strict
sense of justice, large amount of what
is known as common sense and an
equal amount of sense of humor."
Commenting on the resolution sent
to President elect Hoover in January
by the board of directors of the Cen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs, ask
ing that women not be appointed to
positions of Federal trust and response
bility unless they are as well or better
fitted for such positions than men, Mrs.
Norton said: 1.-THE resolution Of the
federation board was sound, courageous
and correct"
Mrs Norton's recipe for chicken-a La
Maryland is proof that she knows "a
thing or two about the gustatory as
well as the political delights OF life.
Here 1t Is: Separate chicken, remove
large bones. dip in beaten egg and
cracker dust. Fry In deep container
filled with melted butter, season with
salt, pepper and mushroom sauce.
When nicely Drowned, remove from
container, let stand in oven for few
minutes. Fry slice of ham, place
under chicken on platter, over which
pour rich white sauce and serve with
corn fritters.

airy knowledge" said Mrs. Langley. "The
long delayed enfranchisment OF woman
makes all the more imperative her
participation in club work, which tends
more than all else to fit her for the
wider field of human activity which
now confronts her, and helps to equip
her for aiding in the publication OF
political life and in lifting humanity to
a higher plane Of usefulness and OF
honor
Lofty ambition, stability. poise. and.
as far as possible an understanding Of
the well-springs of human action, are
essential in a woman seeking Office.
Horseback riding is Mrs. LangleyS
favorite recreation, and her idea OF
vacation is restful environment with
ample opportunity to acquire useful in
formation without conscious effort. She
Is ESSENTIALLY home woman and greatly
enjoys home Identification.
Mrs. Kahn first became interested In
public life through the career of her
husband, whom she succeeded in Con-
gresS. Commenting on womanS part
in recent campaign. f1-::. Kahn sGIu:
II believe the women did a splendid
work in connection with Mr.. Hoover's
recent campaign, and I am conf
dent that he will not be slow to give
them due recognition"
At the close of each session Of Con-
greSs, Mrs. Kahn leaves as soon as pos
sible for her home in California, for she
says her greatest pleasure is vacation
season with her mother and her sons
in the Golden State.
Mrs. Oldfield, appointed to fill the
unexpired term of her late husband,
took up her work in January. Although
she had not hitherto been active in or
ganization work, she has well-deflned
ideas relative to qualifications in Office
seekers. She maintains that women
seeking Office should not rely upon the
fact that they are women, but rather
upon their qualifications as citizens, and
she also thinks that woman in the
Presidents cabinet Is not far distant
probability.
