ITALIAN ARMY THINKS
BIKES USEFUL IN WAR
Officers in Infantry School Take
Bicycle Tour in Region
of Parma.

PARMA, Italy, July S (P).-That the
bicycle, even in this motorized age,
may well have it's uses in war time is
the opinion of Gen. Gazzera, Italian
minister of war.
Two hundred officers taking courses
in the higher infantry school here, to-
gether with 10 cadets from the army
academy at Modena, were sent on blk
ing tour all over the surrounding coun-
tryside.
The speed, silence and economy with
which a bicycle patrol can carry out a
reconnaissance, particularly over coun-
try where the roads are little better
than foot paths, has impressed the mill
tary authorities.

Sherman continued, "but servants

and solicit their cooperation"
Sherman then read extracts
from the Federal and Territory
statutes protecting the public do
main and reserves and penalties
arr infringements thereto which
are quite severe. AT this point Mr..
Mcdonald impressed upon the
crew that they can accomplish
far more by talking to an often
der and pointing out errors. than
by taking drastic measures imme-
diately. That most fires are
caused from pure carelessness Oh
the part Of campers and smokers
who do not extinquish their fires
nor are careful where they throw
their butts or ashes from pipe.
Mr.. Ramsey then described an
underground fire which burned
all winter, in the Interior; other
fires Of this nature were also re-
ferred to.
Small, but compact high-speed
pumps, weighing 80 pounds, were
then taken down to a nearby
creek where a 100 feet Of hose
was strung out and a stream of
water, with a 9O-pound nozzle

and into the distant trees and
shrubbery,

Ranger Sherman, during his
lecture touched on many other
subjects, aside from those men
toned above, which included the
necessity Of remaining with a fire
day and night; when a guard
should rest, splitting crews, the
initial action of organization To
combat a blaze; the reason for
a kindling fire; why every person
is a potential fire risk, the ne
cessity Of becoming acquainted
With every individual in the
guards district, relative humidity
Of their regions why fires are re
ported by the minute, and then
Sherman called upon former
guards to describe to the new ones
previous battles with fires. These
descriptions were extremely inter
esting and drew many comments.

cribed in detail as was one at
Bird Point and an old burn fire

wind carried the fire one-half a

NEW STOCK EXCHANGE
RULING is ANNOUNCED
By the AssocIated Press.


NEW YORK, December 1.-THE New
York Stock Exchange, in an effort to
make its regulation of the redistribution
of securities more flexible, has altered
its rule placing the entire matter Of
secondary distribution in the hands Of
special committee.
This committee will govern the sales
TO the public of securities held by mem
bers on their own shelves, as distinct
from the transactions executed for Gus
toners fer commission on the floor Of
the exchange.
The exchanges rule on the redistri-
button to the public of blocks of securi-
ties purchased by members for their own
account has been very strict, heretofore.
particularly in the matter of payment
cf commissions to statesmen.
The change in the rules merely sets
up committee to govern this aspect
of members business, and exactly what
changes in procedure may be made are
not yet apparent 1t is felt in broker
age quarters, however, that the sale of
securities with which members may be
burdened will be facilitated

ance is made for the fact that there
