AIR PATROL FOR FORESTS The Canadian province of Ontario now has 18 airplanes ~. in the forest service, six more than were in use last year. % It was found right at the start that the air patrol was more y effective than the old ground patrol of forests, at least in * the matter of quick detection of forest fires and prompt summoning of fire-fighting agencies. It is now said that the air patrol has another source of . great effectiveness. The roar of the plane overhead serves ® as a frequent reminder to careless campers. It isn’t as easy » to start a forest fire and escape the consequences as it used to be. Perhaps the moral effect of the airplane is going to be one of its most valuable contributions to forest protec- tion, just as the mere sight of a policeman on a city street ~ helps enforcement of traffic laws. Ww 9 JAPAN AHEAD IN TREE PLANTING The forest service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture says that at the present time all agencies in the United States are planting less than 40,000 acres of young forests 4 a year, in spite of the fact that there are in this country 81,000,000 acres of denuded forest land needing replanting. In the meantime Japan is planting more than 350,000 .. acres of young forests every year. It is only popular to * compare military and naval statistic Yet forest statistics .. re more important than many Americans realize. es There are many reasons for taking the forest situations seriously. One is the need of a continuous crop of timber. Another is the protection of the water -sheds of navigable = rivers. Others concern protection of the soil, beautification *SJof highways and otherwise barren regions and preservation of many forms of natural life depending upon trees and for- ests for their normal existence. Why not bring our yearly reforestation program at least up to that of Japan? PASSENGERS BY WEIGHT Passengers on airships in the future will have to pay by . weight, says Dr. Hugo Eckener, who piloted the Los Angeles from Germany to America. He suggests that the fare from = London to New York by air be one pound sterling per pound = of flesh. ; _ That will not make any hit with fat persons, but, will give satisfaction to the lean, who have long failed to benefit from their leanness. The proposal is logical enough. Freight is paid for by weight. So is mail matter. Why not human beings, too? There is a foreshadowing of this principle in ~ half-rates for children. . It costs more to transport a heavy person than a light one, even on a railroad or steamship; much more so on an aircraft, where carrying capacity is so limited. The mere psychology of it will give immense satisfaction to small men, who have suffered all their lives from the rowding, browbeating and general attitude of superiority often manifested, however unintelligently, by the corpulent. , If they must be big and fat, let ’em pay for it. That will be the small man’s platform, when he is once thoroughly ; awakened to the situation. He may even have the courage, then, to go ahead and demand the benefit of the differential in other matters—for example, the price of suits, belts and Shoes, in which small persons have always paid more than their share. 3 i= aH We “ET 1H “Hu! 4? LOTTERIES Fifty million dollars a year are lost by American inves- tors in lotteries. Every sucker is lured on by the hope of a big winning. SA solar doesn’t mean much to me,” he thinks, “and $5000 ould.’ : : Assuming lotteries are honest—which you can’t—the in- vestor is almost always the loser. The most “generous” lotteries give only 65 per cent of receipts in prizes. - Assuming Mr. Sucker invests a dollar a week for 20 fi years, he will have spent $1040. The law of averages, which e cannot be beaten in the long run, dictates that he will have bi received back a little more than $650 in prizes, = The same amount of money invested in a savings account will bring back more than $1100.

Rowell It will cost 50 cents apiece to keep us all sober next year. At least, $56,000,000 is the present estimate of the cost of prohibition enforcement. It i how much more it would cost Incidentally, if the sum, or big bootleggers, the small on selves, 's a lot of money. But think to keep as all drunk. twice it, could disorganize the es would take care of them- There will always be individual booze peddlers, so long as they can find customers, just as there are individual ped- dlers of “dope” and “coke.” But all they can do, with all the supplies they can get or concoct, will never supply mil- lions of lawbreakers. The thing can be done wholesale only by capitalized and organized industry. That, sooner or later, becomes visible. It is the only crime which has organized fleets of pirate ships, a wholesale system of automobile stealing and of smuggling contraband both ways across the border, and an international financial and distribution system. Institutions of that size can not be hid. When they are closed, the small police and the small courts can look out for the small bootleggers, and not much harm if they do not catch them all. It takes cargoes, not flasks, to do the business whole- sale. World Has Been Moving at a Dizzy Speed There are 33 women in the Ger- man Reichstag, out of a membership of 493, as against one woman in the last Congress and one or two more in the present one. Only a few years ago, it was con- |sidered unbelievable in Germany that American women actually dared do so public a thing as to petition the city council for the abatement of a local nuisance. We were the most advanced nation in the world in the rights and privileges of women. Now we rank among the most con- servative. The world has been mov- ing at dizzy speed, while we dream- ed of our once-progressive past. A Queer Thing Those Animals in Jungle Fish that climb trees, mankeys that brush their teeth, and birds that sleep upside down are reported from the jungles of the Malay Pen- insula by Explorer Carveth Wells. There is an even queerer thing in those Malay jungles. That is a perfectly good railroad, with an ex- press train once a week, clear through them, all the way to Bang- kok.

They saw his coat-tails disappear- ing in the doorway, and they flew after him as fast as they could go, But when they got inside, not a sign of him was to be seen. When the soda-water clerk's back was turned, the goblin had jumped behind a big silver bowl full of lemons, and how could anyone know he was there! “Did you see a little fellow with crooked legs and a long nose?” asked Nick. mae “No, sir, he didn’t come in here,” said the ‘man, “Yes, he did,” said Nancy, just saw him this minute.” A fat man with a bald head and eye-glasses, who’ was. buying a cigar, turned around crossly, “I just came in, thank you,” said he. “And I have long “we nose.” “We don’t mean you,” said Mister Whizz apologizing. “Then you must be dreaming,” said the soda-water clerk. “No one came in here whom I didn’t see. So please don’t say any more about it.” ‘All right. You'll see,” warned Nick. “I hope he won't play any tricks on you—that’s all—for he is a rascal. And wherever he goes there is trouble.” “What flayor did you say yop wanted, lady 2” asked ‘the soda-water clerk to a new customer. ‘ “I'll take vanilla with a ittle orange and about two drops of rasp- bariy—with ch@edate ice cream,7 said the lady. But just as the soda-water clerk was reaching for the spigot on the soda-fountain that was. marked 'vanilla,” he sneezed. And without noticing it he turned on the spigot marked “ginger.” And when he: went to get the orange he sneezed again and turned on the sarsaparflla instead. And when he went to put in the raspberry flavoring, he sneezed a third time and ‘got root-beer -by mistake, Then he put in the chocolate ice cream and handed it to the lady.
