DAMAGE. Is HEAVY
BY FOREST FIRES
Carelessness Cause of Most
of Blazes in State
Timber Lands

Raleigh June 30.-In spite of the
amount of rain during May, there
were 256 forest fires that month and
fire conditions were bad during the
first half of the month, according to
w. G. Mccormick, assistant State for
ester in charge of forest fire control
for the Department of Conservation
and Development There were 299
fires in May of 1887 and the forest
fire conditions were very similar, Nc
Cormick said.
Careless smokers were responsible
for 96 of these 256 fires, leading all
other causes, while brush buring op-
erations caused SIS fires, the second
largest number. Incendiarism caused
the third largest number, with 81
fires, while hunters, fishermen and
campers caused II fires by failing to
extinguish their camp fires accord
ing to law. Only nine forest fires were
attributed to sparks from railroad To-
comotives, only six to numbering OBJ.
erat.ons and only four to lightning.
A total of 1920 acres were burned
over Dy these 256 fires of which g.

and the balance in loss of forest pro-
ducts and improvements, the report
for May shows.
Reports AIu.n the various district
foresters have not yet been received
for any of June as yet, but indica-
tons are that the unusually heavy
rainfall in almost every portion of the
state during june is going to cause
a big drop in forest fires for this
month, according to Mccormick, who
incidentally is one person who has not
been complaining about the rainy

ONCE UPON JUNE SOth

What the millions of meteorities
particles of exploded stars) that are
constantly bombarding the Earth s
atmosphere can do when they slip
through the protecting cone, was dra-
matically demonstrated 80 years ago
Today by a projectile which fell from
the skies in Siberia.
Fortunately, it landed in wild and
sparsely settled spot. For miles every
living thing was killed, 25 square
miles of forests were leveled, anC
great craters were dug by the frag
ments. Homes 40 miles from tn
center of the descent were shakn by
the explosion and scared by the hea,
the shock was registered all owe
Europe and Asia as an earthquake.
Had it happened in different plac,
the meteorite's fall might have bee
one of the most horrible disasters j.
history.
Those who have made the trip be
tween Chicago and Los Angeles b.
airplane have had the opportunit
of seeing the great crater dug int
the Arizon desert by meteorite. Thi.
crater is 400 feet wide, and 400 fee
deep. Excavators have only tappe,
the surface of the mass of iron an,
metals composing the meteor. It i
possible that it also contains gold an
diamonds: meteors often do.
Fortunately the Earth's envelope
air cause most meteorites to be burn
cd to dust before they reach us. Oc
casionally the meteorite is so larg
that only part of it is destroyed O

core of the missile such as the meteo
that fell in Siberia, crashes to Earth

T KNEW a youngster once

It's running away from a ques-

Letter
Dear Mr.. Antheil: We all be-
lieve that kisses should be
something that should not be
thrown away. They are to be
given to the person who is soon
to be your own. We also know
that some people do not wait
until they are engaged before
indulging in an enjoyable
pastime.'
1T is awfully difficult some
times to just sit and talk when
there is so much love working
one up to almost an insensible
state of mind. We have kept
our heads and intend to do so.
"A CONSTANT READER"
You have noticed I always
advise short engagement pc
riod. Now you understand the
reason. The pressure is much
greater and temptations to be-
come a little more and more
intimate, are bound to assail
the two young people. That ne
cessitates a lot more discipline,
doesn't it?
Visit friends and relatives and
get acquainted with each others
background. Spend hours plan
ming for the future and share
your dreams about your future
home.
Then it is well not to be
alone too often. The longer
the engagement period is going
to be the shorter the love max
ing intervals.
Keep Embraces
Tender
This is a period of discovering
each others mental processes
and reactions to life.
In fact, don't wait for the
time when it is difficult to stop,
stop when the love making is
still in it's innocent pleasure Of
kisses and tender affectionate
embraces. You can lose your
head so very easily by one false
step a little beyond the slight
contact of kissing.
