Forest Rangers
Job requires Well
Trained Men

VI the hofaes OF Job-seekers whf
annually apply for positions as for.
est rangers, the vast majority are
doomed to disappointment, says the
1 L. S. forest service.
Hundreds of the letters which pou1
into the forest service offices are un.
doubtedly inspired by mistaken no.
tions of the character of the ranger
job. 1t is believed by many to be an
opportunity for an outing in the
woods with pay, or a chance to dupli-
cate the career Of two-gun man Of
the great open spaces as depicted in
a western film.
Although the forest rangers job is
not without its thrills and adventure,
it is one requiring hard work and
high qualifications. The ranger must
be able to endure the physical hard
ships of firefighting and other heavy
outdoor work; and IN addition he must
have the technical knowledge neces-
sary to carry out the plans for ad-
ministration and development of the
forest resources in his district. Rang
ers handle tire field work in connee-
ton with the sale of timber, the graz
ing of livestock, any many other activ-
tiles on the national forests. They
are called upon to do surveying, tim
Der cruising and scaling, maintain
telephone communication lines and
mountain roads and trails. They must
have the executive ability to organize
and direct fire fighting crews and
get them into action promptly at
times when delay means the loss of
thousands Of dollars through the
spread Of the flames. The rangers
job, IN short, covers all the details of
the management Of a forest prop
erty.
Each year the forest service re-
ceives between $4,000 and $1,000 let
ters-an average of between 40 and
SO day-from persons seeking en-
ployment in the service. As against
this great volume of applications,
there are only about 900 rangers in
the forest service, and the annual
turnover is rarely more than so. A
great number Of the applications
come from boys and young men with
little educational training, whereas
the ranger position requires at least
high school education and additional
technical training and experience in
forestry. Many applicants have been
induced to pay for spondencc
courses which claim without founda-
/ tion that they will qualify them for
I the work. In the national forests east
Of the Mississippi river, practically
every new ranger employed to fill
! vacancies has had college training
If III lbiEsllyt anu III LtlG " tStGli lb1
ests, the proportion of college trained
rangers is increasing, as new men are
employed. Some Is colleges and uni
versities confer degrees in forestry
] and some so others offer forestry
courses.
| Permanent positions in the forest
service are under civil service, the
lever, ones being filled by exanfi-
nation and the higher positions by
promotion. The law requires that
| whenever practicable positions must
be filled by citizens of the state in
which THE vacancies occur. Citizens
Of states which do not have national
forests therefore have little chance of
obtaining ranger positions, as they
can be considered only after the list
of qualified citizens of the states
which have forests has been ex-
hausted.

Jarvis has no connection with his

"He has no right to approach a

Stock Speculation
Here Forces London
To Boost Money Rate

Americas gigantic wave of specu-
lation has extended out to engulf the
entire world in higher money rates.
This opinion was expressed in Off
clal circles today following advices of
the per cent increase of the London
rediscount rate 10 5h per cent. and
indications that the central banks of
other European countries might fol-
low suit to protect their gold posi-
ton.
Sir Montagu Norman, who has
been comforting with Secretary Mel
lon, while having no suggestion as to
what course should be pursued here,
notified the Bank of England as to
developments and advised as to the
necessity OF boosting the rates. This
was taken to mean that Sir MontaSu
feels that the higher money rate VIII
prevail in this country for some time
to come.
Rates May Go Up
The question of further increases
in the rediscount rate OF the New
York, Boston, Chicago and other
Federal Reserve Banks, is a matter
for the consideration of the indi-
vidual institutions, according to
officials, who pointed to rate boosts
as one method of discouraging
speculative loans.
Officials, however, took the atti-
tude that there Is little the Fed
eral Reserve System can do about
the speculative situation for the
reason that the great bulk OF the
money used on the speculative
market comes from private sources,
such as corporations and indi-
viduals. out OF control of the Re.
serve or member banks.
Ii was explained that IL the
Reserve banks find that there is
an excess Of demand OF offerings
for rediscount they may raise their
rates and, a high authority added,
1T is logical that they should II
the present situation maintains"
Government officials do not an
ticipate any immediate effect on the
general business situation of the
high speculative activity. il the
high call money rates continue for
a long time, however, 1t was in.
dicated that. the commercial rates
would show a material boost with
a consequent unfavorable effect on
commerce and industry.
At present the commercial de-
mand for capital IS being taken
care of at rates of about l to y
per cent over those OF a few months
ago.
Another Weapon
The Federal Reserve Board has
within its jurisdiction the power to
make sales OF some or all of the
reserve hank holdings of Govern.
ment securities in order to take
money out of the market, another
weapon aimed at eurbing speeula-
ton.
As to refusals to rediscount paper
offered by the member banks. it
was explained that the reserve in
stitution may scrutiniZe the coll
lateral offered and decline to ac-
cept it provided the money origi-
naIly was loaned for stock specula.
tion. RediscOunt paper represent

stocks or bonds and used for pro-
ductive purposes. would. of course,
be accepted.
