fighters where the need was greatest.
This, the Forest Service reports,
was accomplished at the Kelly Forks
fire in the Clearwater National Forest
in northern Idaho when successful
tests were made with new short-Wave
sending and receiving sets developed
for the purpose by Forest Service
radio engineers. For a number Of
years airplanes have been used for
scouting large fires, but heretofore
airplane scouts have had to com
municate with ground crews by the
hit-or-miss method of dropping writ
ten messages.
The development of airplane-
ground communication adaptable to
use in forest-fire control work, the
forest Officers say, will reVOlutiOnize
Of contact between OBJ
servers and FIRE bosses. They expect
as result more effective use of pro-
tectiVe forces and better coordina-
tion Of fire-controlled action all
around.
In the Clearwater fire, the fire boss
1n the ground was able to ask dues-
ions and to direct the observers at
ention to points of the rapidly
fire which was giving him
concern. As a result men were con-
'entrated where the need was great
,st.
The tests showed the radio set
ould maintain communication over
distance of 65 miles. The plane
tipping low into canyons had no eff
ect upon the efficiency of the radio.
The new airplane radio set weighs
bout $50 pounds. It consists of
hree units, a receiving set, a 5O-watt
and a lynamotor for de-
eloping the necessary electricity.

LIFE SAVING LABORATORIES

There is an organization, estab-

not profit, which constantly guards
your life and your property-though
you may never have heard its nama
That organization is the Under
writers Laboratories, which is main-
tanned by the National Board Of Fire
Underwriters. It was started s5
years ago for the specific purpose Of
testing electrical apparatus, building
materials and other products in the
light OF their fire hazard or fire-re-
sistive qualities.
SO successful has the Laboratories
work been, that manufacturers ~
heating appliances, irons, lamps. and
so on, almost always design their
products to comply with the high

In November the markets will de-
pend more on distant supplies and
some price recoveries would not be
unusual for the time of year.
Potato and apple markets we're
sagging a little in mid-October, but
showed tendency to recover. Onions
and cabbage made a few additional |
small declines. Supplies of southern |
vegetables are increasing and the |
acreage planted is larger this year. |
Some fruits and vegetables still |
sell much higher than a year ago.
Potatoes and midwestern cabbage
are double last years prices. Apples,
eastern carrots and sweet potatoes
30 per cent higher. On the other
hand, onions, lettuce and celery are
lower than last season by one-third

The ditfident young Mr.. Billy

would not know that the Little
Barnum had anything to do with
the paper unless you read 1t.
There are no personal columns
no editorialS-but Mr.. Rose would
not want the readers of the Fort
Worth Longhorn to throw it aside
unaware that he was connected
with it. So in every news" story,
the name of Billy Rose is intro
duced "subtly." And in most OF
the headlines.
Until recently, Mr.. Rose was
quite content with the affection
ate descriptive appellatiOn, "The
Little Barnum," but as the Fort
Worth Exposition assumed the
magnitude of an international
enterprise, Billy hinted some
thing more appropriate and dig
nified would suit him better.
