Zinc in Industry

Starting with the Nineteenth cen
fury the increase in the use of Zinc
was decidedly accelerated. During the
first decade the production was esti-
mated at 5000 tons. In the fifth dec
ade the output had jumped to $4,000
tons, and for the half century the
total was 635,0OS tons. The output
of the second half century reached
the amazing total Of 12,100,0o0 tons
or an increase Of 1900 per cent. The
acceIeration has continued, and in
the year 1927 the output was 1,444,-
600 tons, a total equal to the produc.
ton of the first so years Of the Nine
teenth century.
Nearly one-third Of the entire
worlds output of zine has been pro
duced In the United States.

Not Such a Big Success

The late Walter Kingsley, one of
the last of the old time press agents,
once released an elephant in the
streets of New York while doing pub
licity for "The Circus Man" He tele-
phoned his 'loss" to the police de
partment and a squad of officers
went out. They found the elephant
all right and had they but known
it, the animal would have followed
them peacefully with the offer of a
few peanuts.
Instead, they frightened the ele
plant, which dashed into an office
building, wedged itself 10 the door
way and half the building had to be
torn down in order to release it.

SPRUCE, AND PINE

Upon inquiry from Red Lodge to
the state nursery and seed company
at Helena relative to transplanting
native pine and spruce in this local
ity at this time of the year the Hell
ena seedmen answer that the native
trees can be transplanted if care is
given the roots.
They instruct that it will be neces-
sary to raise as much earth as pos

burlap the earth around the roots
before moving the tree, and direct
planting the burlap with the roots
Results will be more satisfactory

Mystery of Sleep

Science has evolved drugs that will
put one to sleep, but just what it is
that brings natural sleep is as great a
mystery today as 1t was to the cave
man VINO curled up on his rock mat
tress, with his flowing beard spread
over him for quilt.
1t is commentary on human ma
ture that we are more particular
about our food than we are about reg.
ular hours of sleep, yet it is fact,
definitely established, that IL is pos
sible to live much longer without food
than without the benign embrace of
Morpheus.

THE FOREST FIRE PROBLEM

Comparatively few Montanans as
yet realize the extentto of damage done
by forest fires within the states
boundaries this season. Taken as a
whole, they constitute one of the
worst catastrophes this state ever has
suffered. ! Thousands and thousands
of acres of virgin timber has been
destroyed, many homes have been
ruined, great watersheds impaired
and natures pristine beauty marred.
Even when the exact area traversed
by flames has been ascertained, it |
will be impossible to calculate the
damage done The value of water
shed cannot be estimated easily. The
worth of great landscape cannot
be figured in dollars and cents.
1t is apparent, however, that the
disaster is one which will be general
ly felt. 1t will be felt by the nation
to some extent but by Montana to a
greater extent. The forests are an
asset as necessary to our we'll being
as our rivers, or our mines, or our
farms The utility of our wooded
hills and mountains is not solely in
the timber they yield but in the wa
ter they conserve and the glorious
background they provide for recrea-
ton. We can i'll afford to lose any
of it.
The belief is growing that much
of the damage done this season could
have been averted if the federal gov
eminent had been forehanded. News
papers at Missoula and at Kalispell
are unanimous in their contention
that the forest service has been ham
dicapped this season, as it has been
in former seasons, by inadequate
funds for fire prevention work.
The theory Of Congress seems to be
not to spend any money until the
fire starts-then the sky is the limit
Spend all that's necessary and con-
gress will meet it with deficiency
appropriation, is the attitude taken.
Obviously, this is nothing more
than locking the barn door. after the
horse is stolen AS the Kalispell In
ter Lake points out, such a policy
does little good, for no human agency
could check fire like that which
swept the Flathead area a few days
ago.
s'The only way to prevent repetit-
ion of the fires of recent years. says
the Inter Lake, "is to provide the
funds to employ sufficient force
of trained woodsmen to hold every
fire when it first starts. After il
gets under way nothing on earth ex-
cept rain can stop it until it burns
itself out on the ridges"
Not only is it necessary that the
federal government establish more
effective policy of prevention, hut j
is apparent that the state govern
ment vii have to give attention t.
the problem. 1t would be sorry da,
for Montana if all its hills and noun
ta;ns were denuded. No longer woul

CAVALRY ISN'T OUT OF DATE

While President Hoover and the army general
staff are looking for ways in which the army budget
can be pruned of unnecessary expenditures, number
of civilians have suggested that the cavalry might

At first glance. this looks like good idea. Cav
airy is of little in trench warfare and trench
fare seems to be all the rage in modern Arpanes
do the scouting that cavalry used to do; and when
you face your enemy 20O-nie length of unbrok
trenches the cavalry cannot perform the screen
more, the od-stye cavalry charge could live
der the fire of machine guns and rapid-fre field
tillery.
Consequently the proposal to abolish the cavalry
entirely sounds reasonable. But the question is far
from being disposed of that easily.
To begin with, there still be conditions under
which cavalry would be essential. Not every war that
might get into would call for unbroken trench
bat. In seml-desert and mountainous country the
cavalryman would be invaluable.
In addition, there plenty of competent military
who believe that the cavalry could have been used
in the World War far than it was. It has been
sad by fully qualified to speak, that the allies
could have the long before they did if they
had had enough cavalry divisions ready for on the

TINE FOR DRASTIC ACTION

1t is nothing less than horrifying to read that
5000 children under Is years of killed in the
United States last year by automobiles That makes
a rate of little better than II day; and if that
were not bad enough, 400 children were hit by
autos and badly injured each day in the year.
Those figures should constitute challenge to the
whole nation Yet aren't greatly moved by them.
If catastrophe should kill 5000 children
we'll that would be different The country would in
st that steps be taken prevent such tragedy
happening again But this thing isn't dramatic and
impressive, and it seldom excites US.
But it should. Figure it out in terms of your own
children. Think of what it would mean to you to have
your child struck and killed the street before your
eyes-and then remember that that pitiful, heart
rendering sort of thing happens somewhere II times
every day in the year
The plain fact of the matter is that a death rate
like that is simply too high price to pay for the
of automobiles. If to continue a motorized
nation simply must find out how to autos
in some safer way
The solution probably will be expensive. 1t may
be that shall have to make the residence dis
ric of every city and town in the country that the
through traffic be by-passed. Perhaps shall
have to spend millions OF dollars Fairgrounds so
that children will not have to play in the streets 1t is
quite possible that we shall have adopt extremely
drastic new regulations to govern traffic.
Whatever the solution is, however-no matter
how much it may cost how drastic it may bet is
high time we adopted it. No single problem that the
nation faces is important. If a civilized
people cannot keep killing children at the rate
of 5000 every year
