NO REST FOR FIGHTERS

Forest fires purn hardest from early afternoon to about eight at night. But night means no rest for forest crews. While the fire Is reasonably quiet they must dig trenches, cut brush and timber slashways and suppress outl5 ing spot-fires started by flying bari; or branches.
 Until you have seen one you can't imagine the incredible fury of a forest fire. They will burn over the space of big city in an after noon. A man on horse can't out run one in rough country.
 They arrest people out west for throwing cigarette butts or match stubs out of automobile windows Many experienced timber men me- medically tuck their spent cigar cts back into can, to be dis posed Of in a creek or spring.
 Break your match before you throw it away is sign found hundreds of places in the forests. If you break it the chances are you will make certain it is out.
 Tn spite of all such precautions, more than half of all forest fires are man-caused. But if all man causes were eliminated there would still be forest fires. although not nearly so many. Lightning starts them. Sometimes they seem to start by themselves almost, so hard ire they to explain
 You needn't get panicky and avoid the forests. They are safer than the public highways. But when you leave camp, work over your camp fire until you can put your hand in the ashes.

ALASKA DEATHS
Disease Took us Lives in
Territory Last Year
Rate High Here

According to figures recently re-
leased by DR.. w. w. Council, Ter
ritorial Health Commissioner, 215
people in the Territory of Alaska
died last year from tuberculosis and
this disease accounted for about %
percent of the deaths from all
causes in the Territory during this
period.
In regard to this condition. DR..
Council said, ut is impossible to
over emphasize the Importance OF
tuberculosis control in Alaska. This
disease is the leading cause of
deaths in the Territory, the death
rate being 357 per 100000 compared
with 40 per 100000 in the United
States. Three hundred and seventy
six new cases of this disease were
reported during 1888 and of course
there are many more cases in which
the disease is either unsupported or
the victims live in isolated commun-
tiles which are without medical ser
vices.
Among the chief needs of the
Territory at the present time are
sanatoria for the care Of the new
cases of tuberculosis which are con-
stantly being discovered by private
physicians and the tubereulin test
ing and the early case finding elm
les conducted by the Territorial De-
partment of Health. Except for the
limited number of beds available in
the Government Hospitals there are
no facilities for the treatment of
this disease in the Territory AT the
present time the Department of
Public Welfare is taking care of
25 cases in the States but there are
many more cases which they are
unable to handle and for which ia
cilities for treatment should be
available"

should have Immediately welcomed
President Roosevelt's message"
In Line With Precedents.
In the light Of just about seven
months lapse in time, what can
Russia say concerning her foreign
minister's criticism now Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt? Clearly, If Mr..
Roosevelt was right In asking Herr
Hitler to give assurances that he
would not attack any smaller states
on the border Of Germany, it is not
illogical for Mr.. Roosevelt to ad-
dress now an even more pointed
communication to the Soviet gov
ernment concerning its intentions
with respect to Finland or even the
Scandinavian states.
Mr. Roosevelt's policy in offering
good offices and expressing the hope
for peace at critical times is in line
with the precedents established by
other American Presidents. The
interests of humanity have prompt
ed the Government Of the United
States under Republican as well as
Democratic administrations to use
its moral influence to prevent the
outbreak Of war. MIR. Roosevelt last

who expects to be administrator Of
the plan II 1t goes through.
Mr.. Owens, So years old, is q tall,
gaunt. somewhat mortuary gentle
man, clerical and evangelical in
mien, who finds q ready will to be-
ueve among the pious elders Of the
California Lotus-land. He says, "the
economic order must be aligned with
the divine order, for peace and
security" and from that take-on he
makes a gospel blend Of piety and
democratic economies which he
fans into $50 every Thursday for
anybody over so.
The odd thing about Mr.. Owens
is that he is not a grim circuit
riding preacher who traversed the
road to Damascus and saw a vision.
He was once one of the go-gettingest
statesmen In the country, master Of
the best high-pressure and dotted
lihe techniques. Furthermore, he
was successful business man and
paid an income tax up in the high
brackets in 1919. Nineteen lean
years, In which ham and eggs philo-
sophies became intensely PERSONAL
lied, led him to seek the way Of
salvation, and virtually all the Cali
fornia newspapers and sober citizens
are afraid majority of voters will
use his road map next Tuesday.
They almost did last year.
Born in North Manchester, Ind,
he was educated in the public schools
of Shreveport, La, through the ninth
grade. At Is, he got job blacking
stoves for Shreveport hardware
store. Then he became a salesman
for builders hardware, one Of the
best in the business. He became vice
president of large firm of manu-
featuring engineers.
| In 1919, his firm crashed and he
was a jobless migrant, drifting to
Los Angeles in 1929 and billing him
self thereafter as an engineer.
economist" He made round trips
through democracy, single-tax,
social credit and other such devia-
tions from orthodox economics and
then started rolling his own utopia.
Referring to election day, he says,
