next WEEK DESIGNATED
AS CONSERVATION week

are fourteen State Forests with an area
of 1880, 100 acres. The present plan Is
to have a state forest within q couple
of hours drive of all points in the nor
thern part of the state. Where there
is no state owned land it will be neces-
sary to purchase privately owned lands
for this purpose. In most Of the
present State Forests certain areas
have been improved and are being used
as public camp grounds. Numerous
tracts Of state owned lake shore has
been subdivided into summer homesites
of such size as to adequately serve the
greatest number of people. These sites
are leased to the public at the nominal
rate of $1,000 per year. In some Of
the forests, certain areas have been
set aside as game refugees and public
hunting grounds In Marshall, Koo-
chiching and st. Louis Counties three
public shooting grounds have a total
area of $4,000, and there are 100 game
refugees of 100000 acres set aside In
agreement with the owners of private
land.
Twenty of our state parks have
total area of about 10000 acres. These
parks are distributed throughout the
state. The largest parks are in the
northern half, but the greatest num-
Der is located in the more settled
southern half of the state.
All public owned lands set aside for
these purposes are to be administered
to secure the conservation of natural
resources. This calls for protection
against destructive enemies, manage
ment to insure a constant supply and
regulation for utilization OF the
enemies, the forest fire is the most
common and the most destructive, be-
cause it not only destroys for the
present but delays the restoration for
some time in the future. Fires are
$3.50 man caused and therefore, with
care, can be prevented. The fire which
burns over forest area, a lowland
or peat swamp not only destroys the
trees and the crop of reproduction
which would make the forest of to-
morrow, but it is destroying the home
of game at the same time. The fires
which burn forests are slowly but surely
destroying the streams and lakes be-
cause of the loss of water storage, the
increase of evaporation and the in
PRODUCTION of erosion which damages
the water areas.
4 The average number of fires per year
up to 1928 was 1923, 100000 acres
burned over, and loss of about $500, :
600. In 1881, due to the extreme dry
ness of the forest area and the drouth
of ten or twelve years, there were 2778
fires. They burned over $4,000 acres
with a loss and damage of So, 49o, COO
The losses are computed in the value
of mature timber, worth of reproduc-
ton, damage to soil, destruction to
game cover and food, and loss of pri-
vate property. Four people lost their
lives and nearly 100 were made home
less in Minnesota by the fires of 1891.
Forests are wealth from which
every citizen receives benefit or use.
1t is only when they are green or grow
ing that forests can return the pro-
ducts and uses which are so neces-
sary. Conservation is not a local prob
lem; it is of county, state, and national
Importance.
The first step in the conservation OF
all natural resources is the prevention
of forest fires.

On This
Occasion
Just few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

After listening to some of
our Democratic friends make
the statement that the tariff is
the cause of the depression in
this country it seems strange,
as we are known as a piker in
the tariff game. Every major
nation in the world has a
higher tariff than the United
States on corn, wheat, flour,
sugar, lard, bacon, milk and
cream, tobacco leaf, pig iron,
cement, mems shoes, furniture,
steel rails, and a dozen other
items. Some of these rates are
from four to twenty times as
high as ours. With the large
influx of foreign, cheap-labor
products being dumped into
our markets, according to re-
ports, it appears to us as if we
need more tariff.
Five years before the Haw-
ley-Smoot tariff bill was con-
ceived, or between 1925 and
1928, thirty-seven big and
little foreign countries made
eighty-seven revisions upward
of their respective tariffs. Yet
the foes of the Hawley-Smoot
bill would have the American
people believe that we are the
only high tariff nation on earth.
Our tariffs must be very &C.
ceptable to foreign nations.
Only about a month ago it was
shown where a British steamer
arrived in the Chicago harbor
from Belgium with a cargo of
1850 coils of galvanized wire
netting and 10000 reels of
galvanized barbed wire for one
of the cat houses and another
shipment of 700 tons of wire
products from Sweden for
another cat house.
The Minnesota Steel Com
pany at Morgan Park, in which
this section is vitality interested,
at the same time had its ware
houses overlooking with this
sort of material which they
cannot dispose of by reason of
the influx of Swedish and Rus
sian products. The tariff wall
has been the upbuilding of
American prosperity in the past
and we fully believe that all
imports which conflict with
American products produced
by American labor, should be
prohibited entirely or fairfield
high enough to make up the
difference between the Ameri-
can or foreign wage scale.

Commissioner Stuart Murray
in the Sixth District is not mon
opolizing the spotlight accord
to newspaper reports of the
past few weeks. Bull is again
in the throes of an injunction
sultan occurance of every
few years. The Bull school
and it's expenditures is the bone
of contention, not a new out
break but a continuation of the
one that has logged the dis
trict ever since the building was
built. The mining companies
of the Bull district are object
ing to the expenses of the dis
trict.
From this distance it looks
very much as if Commissioner
Murray may as we'll serve out
his time. A new commissioner
in the Sixth will be up against
the same thing Murray is up
against now. History proves
that no one is acceptable to all
the people over there all the
time and they start right in
after election to get the goat
of the man chosen.
Murray is deposed because
he had promised jobs to some
party before election. 1t ap-
pears very much as if this was
no great crime but it seems he
promised jobs to the wrong
man-at least the several who
did not receive jobs say
so. The same condition ap-
piled to Commissioner Pentilla.
He also promised jobs to some
while others failed to get even
promise. Show us a candi.

DAILY DRILLS
ON TW|STERS
FORLYNN
BY GARRETT WATERS,
Times staff Correspondent

BILOXI, Miss, March 1.-Spe-
cial attention is to be paid
Pitcher Lynn Griffith in the daily
drills from now on.
The two chieftains of the Griff-
men see a great deal of promise
in the Bryan (TeXas) lad, and
hope to bring it out this year
where failure was the case during
the 1881 training grind.
All Lefty" Lynn needs to make
him real big Lacquer is a good
curve.
Walter and 1 plan to in
Struct Lynn personally from now
on" says Owner Griff. "The
yOungSter has shown a willing.
ness to become a better pitcher
than he was last year. He has
plenty of speed, but a better
curve coupled with a smoother
delivery will help him tremen-
dOuSly. At least that's how
Walter and myself dope it
out"
Lefty" Lynn Griffith can
thank his stars that he has as
able pair as the two chieftains
of the Griffmen to help and
guide him, for both were great
pitchers in their days.
The lanky hurler spent a full
20 minutes warming up before
Griff and Johnson yesterday. He
was going great until his instruc-
tors detected flaws in his deliv-
cry while throwing a curve.
Both Griff and johnson offered
suggestions with the result that
Lynn was getting the hang of
things towards the close of his
warmup shift.
Lynn has the proper stride"
said Griff, "alsO the speed and
a good change of pace for q
rookie pitcher. But he still
needs instructions on his curve
ball delivery. Once he absorbS
it he'll be a fine pitcher"
Should Lynn conquer his weak.
ness he'll fill one of the crying
needs CT Manager JohnSon's un-
balanced pitching staff this
spring.
He would be mighty handy
man to have around because of
his strength and powerful build
the sort of Pitcher Griff and
johnson are looking for this
season.
Buddy Myer took his first work
out yesterday. Last night after
dinner he and riff went into
conference and Buddy was a
s'"ned man as a result.
Only Heine Manush, Sammy
West aid Joe Judge are out of the
fold now. Griff expects all three
to pen and ink the dotted line
once they arrive here.
The Washington times., 1932-03-01

Had representatives of the
various universities and colleges
of the nation been in attendance
at the sixth annual Southern
Conference boxing tournament
last Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day, they would have absorbed
the idea that contests of skill
may be staged in such a manner
as make for real sport.
At Charlottesville social events
play an equally important part
with the actual athletic contests.
CollegianS who face each other
as opponents in the competitions
are host and guest a few short
hours afterward at a dance or
other social gathering. Athletic
foemen one minute, dinner part
ners the next; boxing in 20
foot ring one minute, companions
and chumS at ball the next.
Southern Hospitality
Visiting athletes also get to
know the townspeople of Char
lotteSville, who undertake their
social duties with visiting ath-
5etes listed as persons Of the
greatest Importance for the oc-
caSion. It seems almost that
Charlottesville is part of the Uni
versity Of Virginia rather than
that the University is part of
Charlottesville.
Friendships are cemented be-
tween athletic opponents; every
person seems bound and deter
mined to make every other per-
son feel at home. Hotel lobbies,
the usual spot to find visiting
athletes as a rule, are empty in
Charlottesville for hours after an
athletic event. Everyone is at
tending a social event, exchang.
ing friendly words, making new
friends, clearing away miscon-
ceptionS and misunderstanding.
Fine Arrangements
Hosts and hostesses of Char.
lottesville must have some sort of
a prior arrangement to so clev,
erly plan and conduct their so,
cial events on such occasions.
No one. it seems, is without an
invitation. One may find friends
nearly anywhere in Charlottes-
vile.
During the boxing tourney
craftsmanship was constantly
held UP as a virtue. On all sides
one found praise for the defeated
as we'll as the winner. Officials
were scrupiously fair, advisors to
the collegians at the conclusion
of contests. Contestants were
watched over With the kindlieSt
of care by all officials.
Truly, sport is sport when such
conditions sprevail.
The Washington times., 1932-03-01
The Catching Corps

And again Washington Is fac
ing the campaign with a one
man catching staff. Clubs have
been known to do pretty well
with but one capable catcher,
yet it is a costly experiment for
two reasons.
In the first place a catcher
carrying the comparative bur
den alone soon burns out. They
always do. Muddy Ruel did
and so did Mickey Cochrane.
Mickey was actually punch
drunk from over work last
autumn. Many ascribe Phila-
delphia's failure in the world
series to Mickey's ineffective
ness.
In the second place a great
risk is attached to a team car
rying a one-man catching staff
because Of the possibility Of in
jury. The catcher normally be-
ing the brains Of a club afield,
a smart substitute Is essential.
Washington has none such for
Roy Spencer any more than it
had for years for Muddy Ruel.
You will say it did pretty
well for two years with Ruel,
which is so. How much better
might it have done after 1925
had it not taken the best out
of Ruel in those two tough
campaigns of 1924 and 1925?
We doubt seriously that Cliff
Bolton can be depended upon
to do any major part of the
1882 catching, although that is
not too much to hope for, and
along with many other fans,
VIC arc willing t0 he convinced
