CITIZEN, SPARE THAT FOREST
(christIan Science Monitor.)


 An increase of some 35 per cent In the number of forest fires caused by careless smokers and campers in 1891 over the preced ing year is reported by the Forest Service of the Department of Agrl- culture. Dropped matcehs and burning tobacco alone accounted for more than 20 per cent of the total number of fires in the na- tional forests.
 The report is particularly time- ly, becaus the present period of the year presents the greatest for est fire hazard. And 1t again brings attention to the fact that the steady rise, year by year, in the number of forest fires result ing from gross carelessness oi smokers and campers make more imperative the need, for intensity ing the campaign of education against this, menace to the na- tion's forests.
 Official vigilance, however, un- tiring., seems inadequate to win the battle against carelessness {. The Forest Service, aided. on the one hand by Improved equipment and personnel and by betetr roads, finds itself confronted on the other hand with. the fact that constantly facilitated access to the national forests Is making for an ever-in- creasing problem.
 Those who have witnessed the desolation wrought by forest fires are scarcely in need of warning n 0n net novatauau fha uri,,, spectacle of grandeur reduced to dreary waste is an impressive and unforgettable lesson. But so dra- matic a lesson should certainly not be necessary to stay carelessness. The pleasure that the individual derives from the nations forests should be a sufficient reminder of the need for unrelaxing care against destruction of the source of that pleasure.

NEVER WORRY ABOUT A THING
 THAT CAN'T HAPPEN

| One of the chief causes of the physic habit | is the autointoxication obsession.
 | Autointoxication means poisoning of the
 body by its own excretions. It is a morbid de- | pressing theory based total ignorance of physilogoy, pathology and hygiene. So far as i the laynan's experience or observation Is con cerned, autontoxicaton can't happen, and l that's an assertion that defes contradiction. Administration may occur-we are not cer- tain about this but 1t is fair to assume that 1t may occur in the course of certain very grave | illnesses. If or when it does develop as n re- suit of such grave or fatal illness no cathar- | tic, enema or other such measure can be of any avail. Radical surgical attack Is usually the l only remedy that can save the patient in such q plight.
 l am perfectly conscious that some fine old physicians have stoutly espoused the notion
 Of autointoxication, and that here and there a
 nice, easy-going Cld-tmer still prescribes rem edies or treatments which purport to correct
 or overcome such self-poisoning. That does
 not in the least alter tho fact that autointoxi- cation can't happen except in the last few hours of some fatal illness and then 1t is only an effect of the illness.
 Any victim of this morbid obsession who is sophisticated enough to discriminate between | competent and incompetent teachers, between honest physicians and humbugs between sci entihc health advisers and faddsts, can readily | learn by keeping tabs on the ideas or teachings of these various individuals, that the autoin- toxication trick is used almost exclusively by the wrong uns. And the crookeder and shadier they are the more alarming and unpleasant the picture suggestion Of autointoxicatiOn
 they offer the prospect they hope to sell the
 treatment.
 It was physician, Dr Oliver Wendell
 Holmes, said 1t would be better for the
 human and worse for the fishes if all physic were consigned to the bottom of the
 sea. "Physic" the poet used the term,
 means all medicines Physics, us l use the term, means laxatves l believe it would be
 q great boon for the health of the If all physics, not only medicinal but these giorified enemeas and colon filling stations and import
 ed bird seed and funny food and eke lot of
 nice white mineral oil or parahin were cast into the sea. Probably good many victims of
 physic habit would suifcr from headaches. anxiety headaches--for four or five days but
 presently they'd cheer up and smile again when they found everything coming out all
 right.
 Anxiety about any retardation or in ade- quacy of alimentary function is a common cause of headache, malaise and that dull, mean feeling which the credulous ones attribute to
 "autointoxication. Plenty of near-doctors or queer. r.dOct0rs to cater to the obsesson, too.

Darwin's theory of mans evolution from the monkey was seriously injured in jolly old England recently when customs head quarters in London ruled that monkey should be placed in the quadruped and not the biped class. A consignment was re- ceived by railway company and declared duty free since they were quadrupeds. Customs said they were bipeds. Headquart- CTS finally decided in favor of the former and the monkeys came in duty free

At Last--Iowa Gets a Break
 In This Novel

The state of Iowa has been rather, less than fortunate In her literary children. Most of them, safely perched in New York apart ments, look back on those green, rolling farmlands with melancholy horror. and write stories in which the life of an Iowan is pictured as something only ono degree less dreary than the life of Siberian political prisoner.
 Now, however, comes Phil Stong with "State Fair" an ex- tremely readable novel which breathes a deep affection for Iowa life, Iowa people. Iowa customs and Iowa scenery.
 There are no sounds of weep ing in the cornfields in this book. Instead there is robust accept. ance of things, an implicit assur- ance that life on an Iowa farm can be deeply and truly satisfying.
 MT Stong tells, simply and sympathetically. how d farmer and his family made their annual pilgrimage to the state fair.
 4 Abel Frake, the head of the family, had his prize hog to ex- hibit. Mrs Brake had her jars of pickles and preserves to put on display. The son, and daughter had less urgent reasons for going. but they looked forward to the trip--and, incidentally. found 1t . lot more exciting than they had expected.
 For these youngsters ran into adventure Ut the fair. The girl met 6 Des Moines reporter and the boy met the carefree daughter of rowing 'sportsman': >and each returned to the farm good deal wiser, little bit sadder and q whole lot more mature, when the fair wns over.
 You'll find 'State Fair" an un- pretentious and Interesting book. It's published by the Century Co. at S2.50. and it is the May selcc. ton ofsthe Literary Guild. R

 Washington--Boys still run away from home and take to the road.
 but they are now far outnum- I bered by drifting youngsters forced out into the world by economic distress.
 This new type of transient youth has become major prob- lem for social agencies, which can l usually do little better than try to send the boys back home to ap- proximately sthe ,same situation which inspired them to go away. Hundreds of them pass through Washington, headed north or south. They tell stories of com plete unemployment and dire pow erty in their families and of the utter lack of hope for work or fu- ture in the towns whence they came. A tremendous increase is reported in this group between the ages of 16 and 20.
 Some "Shovetl Out"
 Some of them, according to Miss | Beatrice Hodgson, assistant execu- tive of the Travellers Aid society here, have been showed out by kfathers unable to support them fathers who perhaps recall that they themselves were independent and self-supportins at the age of l6 and who. demand the same thing of their sons.
 Many moro, however, leave home because of pride. unwilling to continue as producing members of families when there Is little to eat and no chance to work.
 "The number of transient boys between IS and 19 with whom we have hnd to deal has more than | tripled," says Miss ,HOdgson. "The increase comes among young men of high school age and the pe- riod just afterward. There has been a huge increase In the unrest among young people, nearly all or which has an economic back ground.
 Many College Boys
 "We have had q West Point boy, scores of college boys and in- numerable high school graduates | from off the road, all unable to get jobs. Not only do the new gradu- ates find no positions in industry waiting for them but the newest and youngest men have been dis charged in great numbers during the depression"

TROUBLESOME TOOTH
 BRINGS YOUNG NUkA
 BAY MINER TO SEWARD

The hardshipS which sometimes befall those who are marooned from the regular transportation and travel lanes Is aptly illustrated in the case of Roy RuSsel, cousin of Tom Babcock, who arrived in Seward Sunday morning for the purpose of securing dental atten- tion.
 Mir. Russel, for a number of weeks, was afflicted with a bad toothache and knew that he would be unable to reach a dentist for some time. Knowing this, he sought to have someone at the Babcock & DoWney Mine camp pull the troub- leson1e molar but they all shied from the task.
 Tn last hour effort he asked young Wayne Fox, who is with the Babcock & DOWney outfit at Nuka Bay, to try to eXtricate the tooth. Young Fox steeled himself for the task and with manly effort sought to do the task he was requested to perform. However, young Wayne F'ox's dental instruments were linn ited to a pair of pliers and the tooth broke off during the eXtrica tion operation.
 Russel was then forced to en- dure a few more days of toothache and finally the day arrived when they were to make connection with the MS Rolph for Seward. As Sur prise Bay has been icelocked now for a number of weeks, it was nec- essary to haul a skiff over the ice for some distance and later reach the Rolph.
 When the Rolph arrived in Sew ard 1t was not long before MT. Rus sel had visited the local dental of fees and is now ready to go out to Nuka Bay for another stay.
