a three-year average of $870,000. Of
course, Mr.. Headley states, the un-
usual drought has been responsible
for large number of these fires.
Activities of the Forest Service De-
partment have shown a steady i'm
provement in the technique of fire
prevention and suppression, and con-
tinuous development of telephone COM
munication, personnel, tools and trans-
portation since 1905, when this organ
ization assumed administration Of the
national forests.
From high towers or mountain peaks
trained men watch constantly for the
first sight of smoke. Equipped with
binoculars, maps and instruments,
these lookout men locate fires very
quickly. When fire is discovered, the
alarm is Immediately sent by telephone
to rangers and guards. They imme-
diately assemble organized fire fight
ing crews, who know what to do and
how to do it.

Forest fire protection has been great
ly enhanced by the construction of
telephone lines, lookout towers, fire
breaks and the opening of new trails
and roads, according to Roy Headley,
assistant forester in charge Of opera
ton of Forest Service. Valuable
assistance has been given the forestry
department by the Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps, which has added $4,000
miles of telephone lines to the already
comprehensive communication system,
built 1900 miles of fire breaks and
opened $4,000 miles of truck trails to
help make areas of fire danger more
accessible.
This year has been an exceptional
ly hazardous one from a fire stand
point. Since January 1, there have
been more than 5000 fires, Of which
over 1000 were man-caused. More
than $1,O0O,O00 has been spent in
fighting the fires in the national for
ests so far this year as compared with

was then also in Tokyo. In this way,
Mrs. Moffett became the first woman
to speak by telephone between the
two capitals.
Judge Eugene O. Sykes, chairman
of the Federal Communications Com
mission, in speaking with Mr.. Take
jiro Tokonami, Minister of Communi-
cations expressed his appreciation of
"the opportunity at this opening of
service of extending greetings from
the Bell System to the Telecommunica-
tions Bureau of the Government of
Japan and to assure you that we look
forward to long and happy associa-
ton in which, we trust, we can to-
gether usefully serve the people of
the two nations" Mr.. Tokonami, in
felicitating the opening of telephone
service, said: 81 earnestly hope that
this radiotelephone service will wide
ly and freely be used, it's functions be
displayed to the fullest degree, and
thus contribute to promote the welfare
of and friendship between the two
peoples"
Arthur w. Page, vice president of
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, was master of cere-
monies at the Washington nd of
the circuit with Mr.. Seichi Shindo,
director general of Telecommunica-
lions for Japan, in charge of the cere-
monies in Tokyo.
Japan is the sixtieth foreign coun-
try to be connected by telephone with
the Bell System network. Of the total
30,S50,OOO telephones available for in
terconnection, approximately 1885,
900 are in North America and AS, 900
in Japan and other Asiatic countries.
It is estimated that out of total of
33,275,000 telephones in the world, SO
per cent may be interconnected.
The telephone channel connecting
Washington and Tokyo is about 5000
miles in length. This includes 500
miles of radio channel from San Fran.
cisco across the Pacific to Tokyo.

Fluctuations of friendship between
the United States and Japan, the sug-
gestion by the japanese ambassador
at Washington to the American am
bassador at Tokyo that he improve his
golf, and the unexpected greeting,
Hello, Daddy" of Mrs. Pierpont
Moffett to her father, Joseph c. Grew,
Ambassador of the United States to
Japan inaugurated telephone service
between the two countries.
The exchange of greetings was held
in the State Department at Washing
ton and in the Telephone Headquarters
Building at Tokyo. Secretary of State
Cordell Hull extended greetings to the
Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs
Koki Hirota, expressing the thought
that "This new means of communi-
cation which we inaugurate today
spans the wide ocean as an additional
link between our peoples. It is my
hope that by furthering the inter-
change of ideas and of commerce,
which play so important part in the
relation of states, radiotelephone serv-
ice will be of great mutual benefit to
our two nations"
Mr.. Hirota in reply said to Secre-
tary Hull, 81 am exceedingly happy to
express my sincere congratulations
upon the Inauguration of the radio
telephone service between America
and Japan and to reciprocate the
spirit of cordiality of which you have
just spoken"

1912 keeps vine crops thrifty over long
period, producing cucumbers, cantaioupes
and watermelons with firm meat of fine
favor. 1t is also the best fertilizer for berries.
producing red, firm berries of excellent favor
and better size with less culls.
$50 is the fertilizer to use for tomatoes
If you want vigorous, healthy plants that
produce the smooth, firm, hieh-quality
tomatoes that are priced on all markets.
1910 is also the best mixture for sweet po-
tatoes, producing bigger yields of smooth,
chunky No. 1's.
$50 fertilizer will help you make field
corn cash crop, with ears filed out to the
tip with better quality, hieher-feed-v value
corn. 2-8-10 makes sweet corn sweetef. It
helps control root rot, reduces frost injury
and makes plumper grains, aiding In the
formation of starch and sugar. For soy
beans and cowpeas also use 2-8-10. 1t pro-
duces more hay and better seed.
Plan now to use these better fertilizers
for your crops this season. They are devel-
oped especially for Delmarva conditions.
They are based ON years of experiment. and
the experience of leading farmers. Your fer
tilizer man recommends them.

48 peas and ai be s It produces rod ss bets
ter yields of sweet, tender peas and well-filled-
out, crisp beans with plenty of "snap." 1t en-
c0urages uniform ripening and makes har-
vesting easier.
Experiments prove that extra potash in fer
tilizer definitely makes the seed coats of peas
more tender. 1t also aids in producing uni
form maturity of the crop. Potash increases
the disease resistance of the plants reducing
losses from molds and rots. Plenty of potash
enables the grower to produce both high
yields and high quality. One does not have to
be sacrificed for the other.
This year it costs you very little to make
that your fertilizer contains plenty of
NvPOTASH. For instance, compare 4-8-7 fer
tilizer with 1875 fertilizer. The 4-8-7 contains
11% more actual plant food than 4-8-5, yet it
costs you very little more Ask your fertilizer
man about the small extra cost of the higher
potash mixture.
1t pays to use high-p potash fertilizer for all
truck crops because potash is the quality
producing element. 1t helps you get the No.
grades that the market demands-the quality
that commands top prices. The average truck
crop removes from your soil more potash than
both nitrogen and phosphoric acid combined.
Your fertilizer man knows this. That is why
nc AS encouraging tue use "a AASA.POt@oAs
quality producing mixtures such as 4-S-7,
5-S-12, 1910, and $50 for Delmarva crops.
When yo9 bHy potash in mired jsvtihser or
straight potash, it pays TO make sure you get

tkat has helped American farmers to produce
better yields of better quality crops for 5Oyears.

There are few organizations in
Washington which date back 80 far
as the Medical Society or which have
played more active part in the fos-
tering of better conditions here. In
sponsoring the safety campaign
among the city's medical practition-
ers the society is adhering to its CEN
tury -old policy of supporting move
ments which are in the interest of
public welfare.
The Medical Society had its be-
ginning on September 26, 1917, when
an organization meeting Of physicians
Of Washington and Georgetown was
held at Tensions Hotel, on the site
OF the present Willard Hotel. A Con-
stitutional Committee was appointed
and formal organization of the society
was completed January S, 1918, and
application was made to Congress for
charter. The original charter act
was approved February Is, 1919, and
a revival Of the charter, with amend
ments, was approved by President Van
Buren, on July z, 1888. The charter
further was amended by Congress to
provide for admission of women in
1875.
More Than 800 Members.
There now are more than 800 mem
