WHAT'S THIS HUMIDITY

Once upon a time, and not so long
ago, when the public spoke Grossly of
humidity, lit meant only that the pu
bile was perspiring profusely on a
warm, damp day, and was mad about
it. But humidity, whether of high or
low degree, has come to mean much
more than that in the lives of the peo-
pie of Washington.
When the humidity gauge drops to
a reading of IS, it means that all OPP
creations in the woods must be carried
ON with extreme caution. Should the
reading drop to 80, it means that all
logging in the woods should be- nay,
must be- stopped. And stepped they
are, either voluntary or by State order.
A steep rise of humidity is the
reason State Forester Goodyear has
raised last weeks ban on woods work.
AT the same time, however, he warned
both logging operations and the pu
bile that either one or two things
would result in another enforced
shutdown. Shculd humidity drop again
to dangerous levels, he said, on gees
the ban. And, humidity low or high,
no matter which, the ban will go on
the same moment that mans care
lessness starts new fires.
Next time you feel like complain
ing about humidity, just recall what
moist air means to- the industries and
even the forests of this state during
summer. Let her be humid, if she
will. It will help Keep Washington
Green and will be worth dollars to
all of us.

 England

Boston, Oct. 3.-(UP)-GeneraI business activity in the New Eng land area held at high rate in the past week, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, reported otday.
 The trade authority said that "ac- tivity broadened in character, as consumers goods lines reported en- couraging strength"
 Heavy industry" Dun & Brad street reported, continued capacity operations against increasing back locs. Wholesale trading markets ex- perienced an improved demand, but retail trade levelled of to keep pace with last year."
 Demand from mills covering for government and other orders influ- enced strength in the wool market. Trading was heavy, particularly in the f1n-r grades.
 "To date, New England mills were reported to have received at least 60 per cent of all defense orders placed in woolens and worsteds,1 the authority stated.
 Cotton gray goods trading was brisk as some buyers attempted to place orders for 1941 delivery. Mills were said to be sold ahead for sev. eral months, however, and were dis couraging forward orders. Shoe manufacturers led a fairly heavy demand for leather to fill govern ment orders.

PARACHUTISTS IN
 TRAINING IN LISA.
Special Force Now En= gagged in Such Maneu=
 vers at Fort Benning

Washington, Oct. 3 = (UP.) - Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson annuonced today that an initial bat talion of 800 parachute troops, pat termed along the lines of Germany'S s sky soldiers, is being formed at Fort Benning, Ga.
 Volunteer enlisted men and off, cers from the 29th infantry are en- gagged in advance training mass jumping from airplanes and para chute rigging. These men recently completed experimental test jump- ing from the 125-foot towers of the Safe Parachute Jump Company, Highstown, N. J.
 The War Department is expected to announce formation of parachute units soon. The parachutists now training will form the nucleus of an expanded program.
 The army's interest in parachute troops was stimulated. by Germany's successful employment of them last spring and summer during invasions of Norway, Holland, Belgium and France. Dropping from planes ahead of the main land troops, they often seized airports, disrupted roads, power lines and communications systems. and precipitated discord among enemy soldiers and civilians.
 Military experts said that the parachutists often acted as an "ad- vance guard" for so-called air divi- sions of troops. The air divisions are troops transported by plane.
 It was believed that formation of the parachute outfits presaged de- velopment of air divisions which could be used to strike swift, long range blows at any foreign power seeking to establish bases in the western hemisphere.

FINANCE BOARD
 TO GET BUDGET
Preliminary Figures for l94l Will Be Presented
 Late Today

Preliminary figures on the city budget for 1941 were to be taken up at meeting of the Board of Finance late this afternoon. Budget Director Thorvald E. Olsen has pre- pared copies of itemized depart mental requests which will be giv- en to each. of the commissioners for study.
 Under the new charter provisions, MT. Olsen late this month will sub- init to the Finance Board a budget that he recommends for adoption This budget, with changes made by the Finance Board, goes in Decem- Der to the Board of Aldermen for final approval.
 A number of departmental re- quests call for larger appropriations next year than the sums allowed for 1940, but the budget director and the Finance Board will un- doubtedly whittle down many of the figures.
 The 1941 budget picture is bright ened by two, important fac- tors, heavy tax collections dur ing 1940 and prospects of large city surplus for this year. The surplus is expected to. be at least $30O,00 and will be available for use against next years appropria- tions.
 All but one or two of the de- partmental requests for 1941 appro- priations are now in the hands of the budget director. It was believed that the Finance Board today would make plans for a careful survey of the requests by its mem bers.

PLANES ATTACK
 SWEDISH PORT

<
 Stockholm, October 3. = (UP) - Planes believed to have been Brit ish attacked Malone, on the south west tip of Sweden, and Copen- hagen, across the sound, then. sowed mine fields in that body of water early today.
 At Malone, the populace was ter rified when plane dropped large caliber bomb on a public park. A terrific explosion left gaping hole in the park, and men and women go- ing to work this morning, chatted excitedly about 1t. A barrage of anti-aircraft fire was directed at the plane, but it had escaped.
 Searchlights and anti-aircraft fire in Denmark, both clearly per- ceptible at Malone, indicated that Copenhagen, particularly the Kas- trup Airfield there, had been sub- jected to attack.

BRITAIN PLANS TO
 OPEN BURMA RD.
Will Make Supplies Avail= able to China After
 October l7

London, Oct. 3. (UP)-Britain has
 decided to reopen the Burma road, main Chinese supply route, on Oct.
 IT, it was understood today. The de- cision, following Japan's military alliance with German and Italy, was reported to have been made after a
 thorough exchange of views with Washington
 A three months Anglo-JapaneSe
 agreement under which the Burma Road was closed to all military sup plies to China will expire on Oct. IT. The agreement was made on the understanding that during the three months Japan would seek a peace with China. Instead Japan formed an alliance with Britain,S enemies and her armed forces pentrated French Indo-C China to cut of sup plies to the Chinese through Yum nan province.
 Now, as a gesture of friendship and in order to compensate China for the oil of which she was de- prived while the Burma road has been lcosed it was believed that the British government intends to sup ply China with oil from Burma on credit.
 Yesterday it was forecast here that as consequence of the Axis Japanese alliance Britain hence worth would treat China more as an ally and provide GeneraliSsimo Chiang Kai-Shek with war supplies over the Burma Road and much needed credits.
 The reported decision to reopen the Burma Road was considered Britain'S first answer to the Berlin pact. Sentiment of members of the government, however, favored re- opening of the Burma Road even before the triple pact was signed last Friday in retort to the Japanese invasion of French Indo- China.
 Just ds Adolf HitleR's occupation of Prague terminated the era of appeasement in Europe, many be- lieved that reopening of the Burma Road would mark the beginning of the end of British appeasement in the Far East. If Britain again should yield to Japan under duress the yielding, it was expected, at leaest would be accompanied by further support to China.
 New moves anticipated here in cluded British and United States arr engagements for Pacific defense, British Empire cooperation with the United States in restricting trade with Japan and a tightening of British friendship with China, pos sibly to be marked by dispatch of economic and military missions to Chaungking, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's battered provisional capital in Szechuan province.

MRS MORROW SAYS
 CRANDCHILD WELL

7Englewood, N. J., Oct. 3.--UP)-- The plight of Great Britain was of more concerr to Mrs. Dwight Mor- row last night than her new grand daughter, born to Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh, her son-in- law and daughter, at a New York hospital.
 Presiding at a meeting of the Bergen County Committee to De- fend America by Aiding the Allies, Mrs. Morrow urged that the United States grant Britain everything pos sible to "hold at bay Hitlers brutal forces including 25 flying for- dresses" 20 torpedo boats and some pursuit planes.
 Her views don't coincide with those of her son-in-law. He is 8 strict isolationist.
 Of the new granddaughter she re- fused to say anything for publica- tio1, but was heard to remark to friends that everything is fine, :" with her daughter and the baby, the third living child in the Lind- bergh family. The others are Jon, born August 2, 1882. and Land Mor- row Lindbergh, born May f3, 1887. The LindberyhS' first child, Charles Augustus. II, was slain by Q kid- naper in l9S2.
