COMMUNITY FOREST YIELDS
$4,000, STILL WORTH $500

The oldest community forest in
the United States-at Newington,
N. HIS an example Of how such
forests pay their way. The liz acres
of Newington Forest were set aside
in ITO from common property and
unallotted land. Since then, timber
and forest products obtained from
the forest have help build the viii
lage church, the parsonage, the town
hall. a school, and library, accord
ing to a report received by the For
est Service Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
The Community forest completely
surrounds the village center. In adj
dition to furnishing about 80 cords
Of wood to keep the town hall and
library and other public buildings
warm during the winters, the forest
provides playground and ball field
close to home for the village chill
dren.
More than $4,000 worth Of income
has been received from the sale OF
forest products during the past SO
years, yet the present value of the
timber on the 112 acres is estimated
at $500. At one time the timber on
~ two-acre lots was sold to pay
off a town debt of $4,000. In 1915
about 10000 young pine trees were
presented by the representative from
the town of Newington to the State
Legislature, in place of the supper
which had been customarily given
by the representative-elect. School
children and townspeople cooperat-
ed in planting the 10000 trees.

Why Kiln Dried Lumber
Adds to Cost of House

Kiln drying of lumber is practiced
in many large mills, for lumber to
be used for finished flooring, interior
finishing and for furniture. A large
percentage of the framing and
rough building lumber is of course
air seasoned, as kiln drying adds to
the cost.
Two types of kilns are common
ly used: one is known as the "pro-
gressive" type of kiln, in which
trucks loaded with lumber are
pushed into one end of the kiln and
are progressively moved toward the
other end, from which they are re-
moved when dry. The temperature
is not the same all over these
kilns, but is considerably warmer
at the finishing end than it is at the
end where the lumber is put in.
Steam heat is generally used for
this work, exhaust steam from the
power plant being frequently the
source of heat.

WHY
Grasshoppers Are Changed In-
to Flying Type.

The locusts of the Bible were not
locusts at all. Just grasshoppers.
They did not hop. They flew. Our
grasshoppers hop. Query: Why
don't our grasshoppers fly? And why
didn't the biblical grasshoppers
hop? DR.. j. r. Parker of the De-
partment of Agriculture thinks he
has found the answer. 1t has
bearing on drouth.
Ask DR.. Parker and he will tell
you that hopping grasshoppers can
be changed into fliers, thereby clear
ing up the biblical mystery. He kept
Western grasshoppers in his labora-
tory, juggled temperature, hurnidi-
ty, food, and noted the effect. Heat
and hunger changed hoppers into fiji
ers. Wings became longer and fin
er, bodies Simmer, colors brighter.
What is the reason? DR.. Parker
explains in terms of the survival of
the fittest. When there is no food
the case in hot deserts-hopping and
walking are accomplishments of lit
tie aid in the struggle for existence.
Flying ability counts. So the hop
pers develop it. Fifty years ago
in 1880 to be exact-clouds of grass
hoppers darkened the European and
American sky. The insects clustered
three inches thick on some rail-
roads. Wheels simply slipped. /,

THE SCIENTIFIC APPROACH To-
WARD ACCIDENTS

Safety education research fellow
ships and scholarships with total
value of $1,000 in the new nation
al center for safety education at
New York University, have been
awarded to 28 teachers and direc-
tors of accident control from Ii
states. The safety center, which is
the first project of its kind in the
nation, was established last July
under a special grant Of funds from
the National Conservation Bureau OF
the Association of Casualty and
Surety Executives, to provide re-
search and instruction in many fields
of accident prevention.
The successful applicants were
selected from several hundred men
and women specialists in safety edu-
cation. The research work they are
to do will be conducted in coopera-
ton with the University's School OF
Education.
Here is the scientific approach
to the problem. 1t has long been
recognized that specialized safety
education, especially in grade and
high schools, is of the utmost value
and importance. 1t is now recogn-
lied that the maximum results from
such instruction cannot be attained
unless the instructors themselves are
properly trained and educated. A
poor or uniformed teacher is al
most as bad as no teacher at all. The
purpose of the National Safety Cen
ter is to train teachers who will be
prepared to go into schools Of the
country and spread the gospel OF
safety in a manner that will appeal
to their students-and be retained
by young minds.
Under the program, industria
safety, automobile accident proven
ton, traffic control, home accident
prevention and other branches of the
safety subject come in for full con-
sideration. This is longtime work,
whose full effects will not be felt
at once-but which will be reflected
down the years in tremendous saw
ings in life and property.

Why Singing Is Recommended

Singing as health restorer, espe-
cially for those having high blood
pressure, is being recommended by
DR.. M. Biehle, a medical expert of
Berlin. When he examined SO pro-
fessional singers and found that no
one had high blood pressure he con-
cluded that singing prevents and re-
lieves the ailment. Continuing his
experiments with patients in several
of Berlin's leading hospitals, he put
sufferers from high blood pressure
on "diet of song" varying the diet
according to the condition of the pa
tient.

resent the combined engineering
skill and the active interest of the
outstanding fire protection author
tiles in the country and this new
booklet has been issued as part
of the campaign to inspect every
home in America by uniformed fire
men during Fire Prevention Week
this year. 1t is designed to arouse
public interest in making household
inspections. Fire Prevention Week
is October 9-15.
Its pages are illuminated with
drawings and graphs designed to flag
the attention of people who Nigh:
not otherwise be interested in this
subject. A minimum of copy is
used, yet each set of opposite pages
points a definite lesson in fire pre-
vention, and even the casual reader
should carry desire to cooperate in
safety measures. The booklet is free
in reasonable quantities, or at cost
for large orders.
In addition, many thousands of
National Board Fire Prevention
Week posters have been distributed
to railroads and steamship lines for
posting in stations and shops and
on piers in October. Other materials
include stIckerS, Fire Prevention

TOWARD FARM PROSPERITY

EXPERIENCED business men have
been among the most enthusiastic
boosters of agricultural marketing
cooperation on a sound, profit-mak-
ing, conservative, common sense
basis.
This is logical attitude. For bus
mess, large and small, knows the
virtue of progressive cooperation,
and has long practiced it. Further
more, from the local point of view,
prosperous agriculture means more
prosperous business, especially IN
the smaller communities of the ma
ton. The farmer who gets profit
able price for his crop is the farm
er who makes a good customer for
commercial establishments of all
kinds. And market cooperation, as
the record proves. leads TO farm

Whv II Is Euuality State

Wyoming is nicknamed the Equal
ity state because it was the first
state in the Union to grant equal
suffrage to women. Wyoming was
created territory in 1868, and the
first territorial legislature which
met in Cheyenne in December, 1869,
granted women the right to vote in
all elections. In 1889 when the state
constitution was drawn up it con-
tanned an equal suffrage clause.
Wyoming entered the Union on July
10, 1890, as the forty-fourth state.

If bread is to be porous and light,

ly and gently until it is smooth and

Further analysis of the figures
show that all schools in the county
improved from 3 to per cent in
attendance over the past three year
period.
The above record in improvement
of school attendance is due to the
fact that the people are more inter-
ested than they ever were in giving
their children an education, and be-
cause of the fact that there is a
closer and better spirit of coopera-
ton between the home and the
school.

Why Panes Crack

Lack of putty on the frames Of

Moisture absorbed by the frames
