But no mor “Mine is an ordinary-sized forest district, about 200,000 acres of rough mountainous country, mostly timber- ed, but with some grazing land, min- ing, waler-power sites and quite a number of summer homes and free public camps. “Right now the best part of my work (s handling timber sales, as I've got a gang of lumbermen cutting government timber on my distriet. 1 have to know all the trees and what they're good for v to cruise and estimate the stand:. how to. mark green timber for cutting under for- estry rules; all about scaling cut logs, 1 must see that the brush is piled and burned and that the young trees left for a future crop are not Injured or destroyed. “Next comes supervision of cattle and sheep grazing. A ranger is sup: 1osed to be able to cail all the forag plants by thelr first names: to know the different breeds of live stock: whether a range is under or over stocked and how much salt a steer or sheep ought to gct in a season.” The hard and dangerous task of fire fighting, he explained, s a constant specter before the ranger. Combat- ing a forest fire he termed “the meanest job in the world—bar none.” He added: “And 1 have to know Low to bufld roads and trails, tele phone lmes. bridges, fences, nd lookout towers. urveying with a comp: osed to be ‘pie’ for a ranger, he's got to be able to tell all about land lin. section corner mining and_homestead laws. “On the side 1 exam claims, take stream-flow measure- ments. record weather data. lay out sites for camps, post fire and distance direction signs in the woods. The ranger has to assist him a dep- uty ranger and eight guards. serious fires he must recruit and direct small armies of men.

NEW TYPE DIPLOMAT + IS FOUND IN BENES| Czechoslovakian Premier Is Well ‘Informed Man With Big Ideas. By the Associated Press, GENEVA. December 20—The meet- ing {n Paris of the council of the league of nations drew attention to one of the striking personalities in European politics. He is Edouard Benes, the diplomatic leader of/ Czechoslovakia, and represents his country on the council. Judged by the standards of Europe, he is a new type of foreign minister; not a ca- lamity howler: a well informed man who believes that conditions gradu- ally are getting better, instead of worse, Benes does not believe much in sit ting in a leather desk chair and di tating orders to his ministers in for- elgn lands. When he has a big thing on he packs his grip and goes travel- ing. He runs over to London, or to Paris, or to Rome, and drops in on foreign secretaries and prime minis- ters to hiave a friendly chat and talk over things of mutual interest. Nor does he talk too much. At the last asembly meeting Benes got the repu- | tation of being rather u quiet man, who does a lot of hard and useful thinking before he opens his mouth. He has a good first-hand knowledge of Buropean politics and more par- ticularly of European statesmen. Benes first showed his abllity when he maneuvered the desertion of the ! Czecheslovakian troops from Austria over to the side of Russia. is the archite of the litle entent He made the minority treaties worl able by putting something construc tively economic into them, and heipe the league of nations, of which ardent advocate, build a machine whereby minority population ques- tions could be treated in an equitable man He helped get the Austrian WE ARE OUT of the way, but when it comes ol work snd low price, we are the first ope in the rank.

SUPREME COURT ASKED T0 REVERSE DECISION was yesterday asked by the goy- ernment ‘to set aside ite order in which it refused to reverse the deci- slon rendered by Federal Judge Frais at St. Loufs, who ordered returned to Bdward . Goltra nineteen Mis- sissippl river barges and four tow- boats that he had leased from the War Department. The government also asked that the case be reheanl. During the war the governmenf constructed the barges and towboats, which were turned over to Goltra under an option to buy conditioned upon their operation. Contending that the agreement to operate had not been complied with, officers of the government were’ instructed to seize the boats and barges. Judge Farls prohibited them from doing so. Pointing gut that the decision of the Suprem® Court was based upon the ground that there was an ade- quate remedy open to the govern- ment to protect its interests by ap- pealing from the order of Judge Faris, the government asserted in its brief today that such an appeal ould not be taken by the United tates without the government put- ting itself in the position of consent- ing to be sued. This would destroy its defense in the case, the govers ment sail, pointing out’ that its con- tention had been that Goltra was without relief in the matter. because the government had not consented to be sued fore the league and is mow backing the proposed financial reconstitution of Hungary, which is expected fur- ther to help in the restoration of Eu- rope.
