TO FIGHT FIRES'

{Shortage Makes Forest Fire
; Situation in the North
] west Desperate.
iFEARLESS MALES SOUGHT
Husky Man Who Is Willing to Work
Looks 3ocd as Million Dollarsto
Officials of United States
I Ferestry Service.
Spokane, Wash.—One of the higgest {
“industries” of the northwest this sum- ’
mer is the fighting of forest fires, i
A good, husky man, with two strong
l arms and a willingness to work, looks
as good as a miilion dollars to the of
ficials of the United States forestry
service, and the big lumber concerns,
who are losing vast values in timber.
There is a famine in men. That is
the gireat reason fires, started by care
less campers or lightning storms, have
heen able to spread over many iles
I of America’s richest lumber lands and
cause damage that will not be replaced
l for a generation.
One large fire in ihe Pack river dis
trict, northern Idaho, hburst entirely
beyond control and spread over forty
five square miles of territory without !
showing the least signs of dying down.
Men to fight it were few and far be
tween.
War Against Flames.
In Spokane as well as the coast
cities the forest service is waging re
cruiting campaigns similar to those
carried on during the war. It is a
war—against flames almost 4s destruc
tive to America as the flames that
broke out in Europe.
Lumberjacks, those big-shouldered
veterans of the forest life, make-the
finest fire fighters. This summer they
have had little chance to engage in
their regular work of cutting timber,
and have bent all their efforts to sav
ing the forests that house the nation.
The forest ser¥ice maintains a cease
less lookout. As soon as smoke is dis
cerned the news is flashed to head
quarters; a crew is hastily recruited
and equipped, and sent into the burn
ing area with full supplies of food,
tools and bedding.
But they have little chance to use
the bedding. Fire fighting is an all
night all-day job.
How Fire Is Beaten.
The only successful method of stop
ping a fire is to get in front of it,
clear a wide trail, and widen it by
backfiring.
A slight change of wind will make
the back fire cross the trail and en-l
danger the workers’ lives.
Blazing trees frequently fall wlthi
the wind, across the trail, and undol
the work of a day. The lumberjack
is as expert at tree dodging as he is
at playing poker.
One result of the epidemic of fires
in the present summer will be a vig
orous effort, on the part of lumber
i companies and forestry men alike, to
secure from congress a greater ap
propriation for the forest service than
ever before. America’'s forests are no
longer so numercus and well-grown
that the trees can be sacrificed with
out national suifering. |
FINDS CURE FOR POISON IVY
New Jersey Rector’s Wife Says Catnip i
Leaves Rubbed on Will |
Give Relief.
New York.—Mrs. Evelyn S. Tren
bath, wife of Rev. Robert W. Trenbath, '
rector of St. James’ Episcopal church |
of Montclair, N. J., has conferred :1{
boon on sufferers from poison ivy by [
announcing a remedy which those who |
have tried it say is a most efficacious }
one. It is simply the green leaves
of common catnip rubbed on the affect- |
| ed parts until the juice runs. ;
This never fails, Mrs. Trenbath says, |
’ no matter how advanced the ease may |
! be, and is simple to use, especially in ,
| the case of children. W
The plant grows usually in great
abundance behind old barns, and is
said to be so antagonistic to the ivyl
that if planted near it the ivy disap
pears. ; ’
