THOSE so AND so NOSE CLOS
 ING RAYS

IHOSE oO AND SO NOoE OAOO. ING RAYS
 Whenever a quack pulls one about rays the prospective sucker goes into a trance and dreams that
 the wonderful rays endowed with
 all the healing powers the quack ascribes to them.
 Only a year or two ago plenty of | wiseacres were paying good money to charlatans for treatments" with infra red rays. Far be it from me to deny that mira red rays are
 soothing and that they give grate- full relief in many cases. Nearly all
 of us have experienced the extraor-
 dinary effects of mira red rays at one time or another. Grandma had great faith in their virtues in cases of bellyache, only she just wrapped
 stove griddle in flannel and put
 it on to warm up little Johnnie's tummy. She really didn't know she
 was treating the child with mira
 red rays, but she was. One gets mira red rays from an ordinary hot poultice or from a hot water bag or hot bottle. In short, the differ ence between warmth and mira red rays is not worth more than eight cents a week. But how some gullible persons love to have warm applications in the form of rays!
 Heat from a radiator or other dark source of heat acts on the skin refiexly causing stuffiness of the nose, especially in persons who
 have some low grade chronic trou- ble such as chronic rhinitis, thick ened turbinate, def1ected septum. r 1ial. xSt1 ,gt DI let says this disagreeable effect Is due to nose closing" rays. The effect is prevented by cooling the face by ventilation, as by 6 good draft or by precipitation. Glass, gelatin or cellophane absorbs most of the nose closing" rays, as does vapor arising from water in front of the | fire or radiator. Thus the warmth
 from an incandescent lamp held close to the face produces no stuffi- | ness of the nose.
 People who are cooped up a large part of the time in offices, stores or houses heated by radia- | tors have alternative remedies. | Either they can open a window to admit a current of fresh cool air or, if they are blind and dumb about drafts" they can see that
 
 water is kept evaporating constant | ly in the room. Not just wee vessel of water, but few gallons
 every day.
 Those in charge of the heating arrangements must be made to un-
 derstand-though heaven knows how-that q room temperature be- tween GA and 68 degrees F. with
 fair degree of humidity feels comfortable to most normal per-
 sons, whereas a temperature sev-
 eral degrees higher with the air
 dried out Qow humidity feels rather chilly to normal persons. 1 In other words. the provision of I a fair amount of water vapor in
 the air of the heated room saves | fuel and is easy on tempers, com- plexions, furniture, and the com fort of visitors or clients.
 Where an efficient humidifying system is not built in with the heat ing plant, it is some trouble to in-
 stall and keep in good working condition an individual humidifier for each radiator or register or stove, but 1t is worth while, If you
 value health and comfort.

FOREST
 FIRE SWEEPING
 NATIONAL TRACT
Wild Animals of All Kinds Are Dashing By the Fire
 Fighting Forces

Portola, Calif., Aug 21-(P)- A roaring wall of flames moved through Plumas' national forest today, endangering town and lives. Every effort was being made to check casualties, but the farflung fire lines, and lack of lists of fire fighters made this task exceeding difficult.
 Scores were treated at field first aid stations for burns and bruises.
 Some anxiety was felt for one group of 40 men and another of SO. Forest service officials said men coming in for first aid treatments told of hearing anguished cries from persons believed trapped when the, the blaze raced ahead of them through tree tops and re- turned through the thick under brush.
 Three members of one crew said they believed two companions had been trapped and killed. One re- port said the crew of 50 returned to the fire lines after a short work out" without reporting to time- keepers.
 More than 150O volunteer and conscripted firemen fought so close to the flames that a sudden gust of wind could endanger their lives. The fire extended along a 10-mile front, famed by direct west wind. It's roar could be heard for miles.
 The lumber town of Sloat was saved early today, but Twin Rivers were entirel evacuated last night when the flames approached within a few miles and it appeared nothing could save them.
 Leaders of the fighters believed the fire was gradually being brought under control. This was the third day it had ragged in one of the most picturesque of the na- tional forests.
 Some anxiety was felt for crew of about 75 fighters that reported to the timekeeper the last time yes terday morning.
 Hundreds of wild animals broke through the lines of the fire fighters in mad flights to safety. Included were deer, Coyotes, and even rep tiles.
 More than 5000 acres of virgin timberland and brushland were estimated to have been ravaged The loss was believed to be in ex- cess of $250,000.
 A shift in the wind late last night aided fire fighters to save Sloat af- ter the flames had approached SC close the heat could be felt within the town. AS it was, virgin timber on Big. Hill mountain near Sloat was burning fiercely early today. If the weather conditions prevail it was believed the fire might be brought completely under contro by noon.
 | Every effort was being made te check for casualties, but the far. flung fire lines, and lack of lists oi the 4000 engaged in the work made this task exceedingly difficult, The United Press correspondent at Sloat reported authorities said a preliminary checkup revealed nc fire fighters missing.

Thousands Visit
 Lake Quassapaug

The water at Lake Quassapaug is warmer during the latter part of August and early September than at any other time during the year. That is the reason why bathing re- mains popular at the lake all dur ing the summer season. Over the weekend thousands of persons took advantage of the water at Quassapaug and the bathhouses did a rushing business. Many wis., itors from all parts of the state visited Quassapaug Saturday and the dance hall in the evening at- tracted one of the biggest crowds of the summer. The parking condi- tions are such that there is no tampering with cars. because the parking grounds are we'll super vised. In addition there are officers who see to it that no objectionable characters are allowed to loiter in the vicinity. There are plenty of tables and benches for picnic par ties and the grounds are picked up every day so that the equipment is always in very good condition.

Your shrill cry, your plea for existence, As through the darkness you search for tood With droning sound your maddening persistence, Brings greatest anger and words all too rude Like circng plane you sweep o'er each brow, Selecting some choice place to allght; And sinking your proboscis you start the row, That goes on eternay throughout the night Would we had the patience to let you alone To feed you as you face the strife; But it's the way you approach with aggravatng tone

EXTRA WORK

Private industry won't be hurt, because the goods manu-i factured are such as are not now being furnished to the unem- ployed, and which they can't buy. Most of the money will be spent for raw material, anyway, which means more work for private pro- ducers of such material.
 Employees here are to be al- lowed to work as many hours at the going rate of the trade as would build up their incomes to the relief scale. Then those who wish to will be. allowed to work as many more hours, up to 40, as will earn them credits ex- changeable for goods made by the co-operatives.-
 Benefits of this plan, outlined by Marc J. Grossman of the Cuy- ahoga County Relief association, active in starting the work here, are these:
 First, it enables the unem- ployed to regain or learn new skill at worthwhile trades, in- stead of treadmilling around on unproductive made" jobs. 3
 Second, 1t helps them get back

BY WILLIS THORNTON

.NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 Cleveland, Aug. 21-The move- ment to establish production units'' within relief organizations is spreading rapidly. Sometimes it takes form as mere local "unem- ployed cooperative" such as be- came popular two years ago. But in Ohio 1t comes closest to a real statewide organization.
 Ohio, with one-sixth of its peo- pie on relief in one form or an- other, had to do something. Here's what it's doing:
 Within the state relief adminis- tration at Columbus has been created a division of factories, headed by Boyd Fisher. Under his leadership, Ohio Relief Production Units, Inc, has been established.
 Fisher plans to take a small part of the federal funds allotted to Ohio for relief and use them to equip and run idle factories in all parts of the state. Each commun- ity will make such goods as it has plant equipment and skilled labor to produce.
 At Delaware, woodworking plant is already turning out fur niture, and 40 women in another plant are making women's and children's dresses (4S0) 8 day). At Toledo one plant ise turning out white goods.
 AMBITIOUS PLANS LAID
 Cleveland has leased factory in which it plans to turn out eventually as many as 5O,0OO mems suits @ year. At Colum- bus, plans are we'll under way for relief workers to build 1S0,00O mattresses for relief families. Overcoats will be similarly made in Cincinnati, and hosiery in sev- cral cities.
 About a million dollars has been made available for these projects within the state. The federal relief administration has nothing to do with them except that it furnished the money
 Eventually, when these units get into production, national guard or army trucks may be used to transport the goods on an exchange basis from one city to another TOT QlStTlDullOHs
 SYSTEM IS EXPLAINED
 Here's how Ohio relief officials explain the movement and its re- lationship to the present economic system:
 The federal government is al- ready furnishing millions of dol lars to state relief organizations. A lot of it has gone for mere made" work. Why not use it for productive work? It's better for the workers, and the govern- ment gets something for its re- lief dollar.
 Clothes, for instance. In north ern Ohio, relief dependents are given no clothes beyond pants and sweaters. They can't hunt jobs that way. Why not let them make their own suits and over coats?
