Maryland Holds Fires To Low
Average For Region

Forest fire data for the en-
tire nation during 1881 has re-
Gently been issued by the Unit
ed States Forest Service. Eff
forts on part of Maryland to
safeguard her forests show un-
form success in comparison
with her neighboring states.
On a basis of the size of the
average forest fire, a fair indi-
Gator of protection effective
ness according to State Forest
er F. w. Besley, Maryland has
done better than hold it's own
with Pennsylvania, West Vir-
ginia, Virginia and Delaware.
The average forest fire in
Maryland burned 26 acres in
1881, being closely followed by
the average fire in New Jersey,
which amounted to 80 acres in
the same period. Pennsylvan-
ia, with Is million acres of for
est land to protect, or six times
that of Maryland, managed to
hold the average down to 81
acres, but Delaware, with few
er forested acres. did not fare
so well and the average fire
reached 48 acres in area. Vir-
ginia and West Virginia trailed
the states to the north with
average fires of 81 and SO acres
respectively.
In so far as the smallest
average fire is concerned,
Maryland has remained in the
lead of her neighboring states,
having held this enviable posi-
ton in the severe fire year Of
1880, says the State Forester.
He points out, however, that
New Jersey has slipped ahead
OF Pennsylvania during 1881
and Delaware has climbed
ahead of Virginia and West
Virginia, having trailed the
group in the severe year of
1880.
The chief of the Maryland
Forestry Department attributes
the States leadership princi-
pally to the work carried on by
the $50 forest wardens distrib-
uted in every important wood
ed section of Maryland. Mr..
Besley also claims that the
work has been substantially as
sisted by the growing realiza-
ton on the part of every citi-
zen that all forest fires should
be reported, as soon as discov-
cred, to telephone operators,
who in turn notify the fire
fighters and send them off to
save timber, game and proper
ty from destruction.

Maryland farmers will prob
ably plant about 100000 acres
OF wheat and $4,000 acres of
rye this fall, according to Rich
ard c. Ross, agricultural sta
tistican for the Maryland Crop
Reporting Service. These acre
ages would represent an in
crease over last years plant
ings of about IL per cent in
wheat and 10 per cent in rye.
However, weather condi-
lions between now and plant
ing time, relative price chang
es and other factors may oper-
ate to prevent the realization
of these indications. Dry soils
in many sections have made it
impossible for farmers to pre-
pare seed beds properly and
unless timely rains are receiv-
ed, planted acreages may be
smaller than now indicated.

FREIBURG PASSION PLAY
COMING TO AUDITOR
IUM, BALTIMORE

The Freiburg Passion Play
direct from Freiburg, Baden
Germany, and now on their
second American Tour of the
United States, will include Bal
timore in their itinerary. This
announcement is of special in
terest to the people of this
area, due to the fact that when
on their first tour, Baltimore
was assigned only three days.
AS a result many who missed
seeing this world-renowned
presentation during it's former
appearance here, will now be
able to take advantage of the
opportunity afforded.
The Freiburg Play will be
presented in the Auditorium on
Howard Street above Franklin,
in Baltimore, starting October
10th, and the engagement will
run for three weeks except
Sundays. There will be after
noon performances on We'd
nesdays and Saturdays. Due
to a nationwide demand, the
dialogue of this beautiful play
will be spoken in the English
language, whereas, on their
former tour, the characters
portrayed their parts, using
their native tongue.
Heading this cast of artists,
most of whom have given the
greater part of their lives to
the carrying of their profound
message, will once more be
found Adolf Fassnacht, as. the
"Christus." Following in the
footsteps of seven generations
of his family, Herr Fassnacht
portrays this character not
merely as an artist proud of
his part, but as a sacred inner
itance handed down from faith
err to son for more than two
hundred years. This noted
company of players, originally
brought to America to present
the Passion Play in Saint JOS
eph, Missouri, has played be-
fore thousands of audiences,
and it's tremendous appeal is
greater than ever before.
1t comes to Baltimore with
the approval of countless re-
ligious, civic, and fraternal
bodies, many of whom are par
ticipating and cooperating.
The large German cast itself
will be augmented by hundreds
of local people who will partic-
ipate in the mammoth scenes.
Three large choruses are being
recruited to sing the beautiful
chorals. The play opens with
the triumphant entry into Jer-
usalem, and ends with the as
cension. The play is complete
at each performance.

PREDICT WINTER OF 1882
WILL BE MODERATE
ONE

The weather man believes
another mild winter is in store.
That is the normal expect
ancy, Joseph M. Kincer, chief
of the agricultural meteorology
division of the weather bureau,
said, as a result Of the upward
swing in the thermometer be-
ginning in 1926.
Records show that the
weather moves in currents of a
few cold years and then a few
warm years, Kincer said. In
the past, a change from one
cycle to another has come
gradually and while not fore
casting definitely a mild VIM
ter, he said that indications
pointed that way since there is
no evidence yet that a change
to abnormal temperatures has
begun.
The present upward trend in
temperature really began after
the hard winter of 1918. Since
then abnormal weather has
been dominant, with the trend
particularly noticeable since
1926.
Every month this year ex-
cept March has brought tenn
peratures ranging above the
fifty year mean. Only New
England, southern California
and a small area on the north
ern Pacific coast have had
slightly subnormal weather
during the past summer, which
was above average but below
the mean of last summer. Kin
GER said that though the heat
has been more blistering, rain
fall over most of the country
has kept crop damage at a
minimum.
"There were some heavy
rains in comparatively local
areas and deficiencies in moist
ure over considerable Sec
tions," he said, "but precipita-
ton, in general, was fairly
well distributed, with sufficient
for the needs of vegetation in
most places"
The west lake region and the
Atlantic coast between North
Carolina and New York have
been the principal sufferers
from lack of moisture, with the
eastern seaboard experiencing
almost as bad a drought as in
1880.
However, in 1880 the dry
summer followed a winter and
spring of subnormal precipita-
ton and the creeks and under
ground streams were drying up
early in the summer. Good
spring rains this year have Off
set the lack of summer precipi-
tation, Kincer pointed out, and

ECLIPSE PERMITS STUDY
OF ELEMENTS BE.
HAVIOR

The total eclipse of the sun
on August 81 gave the earth's
scientists a minute and a half
in which to study the SUMS
rays that at other times are
hidden by the glare caused by
the atmosphere. AS the last
speck of sunlight disappears
behind the moon, making a.
total eclipse, opalescent lights,
interspersed with blood-red
splotches next to the black
moon, flash out round about
the hidden sun.
This brilliant display, known
as the corona, is the most spec
tactular part of a total eclipse.
1t is also the most important
for scientists interested in the
elements and their behavior,
says DR.. w. J. Humphreys of
the Weather Bureau, United
States Department of Agricul-
ture, who has made observa-
lions on eclipses from the
wilds of Sumatra to the cotton
fields of Georgia.
The iron, calcium, phos-
phOrus, and other elements of
the earth's crust occur also in
the sun, and the wings of light
that form the corona are given
off by these elements. Infor-
nation on the elements and
how they act under certain
special conditions that can not
be duplicated in any man
made laboratory helps toward
a full understanding of them
and their properties.
Each eclipse, Doctor Hum
phreys points out, has advanc-
ed, step by step, our knowl-
edge of the sun and it's con-
stitutent elements. The last
total eclipse visible in the
United States, a very brief one,
was in 1880. The next total
eclipse visible in this country
is scheduled for 1916.
