TINBER RARVEST "IN BLAGK HILS President May Watch Lumber- et Work Fapid City, 8 D, July 29 (P— Around the summer home of Pres- Adent Coolidge the annual lack iHills timber barvest is in progress. * The state park where the presi- {dent 15 vacaticning, and all the for- ested country for miles around it are encompassed in federal forest ' preserves where timber may be cut only under federal supervision, But enough lumber Is taken each year in the Hills to build 2,000 six- room frame bungalows, and half a hundred sawmills are kept busy in the harvest. So successful has been the pro- gram of forest conservation in the region where the president is a guest that lumbering goes on with- out despoilation of timber resour- ces. For 30 years trees have been cut down only in proportion to an- nual replacement by growth of others, and while lumber for 2,000 bungalows is being harvested each year, enough 3,000 more. . Foresters accompany all logging erews and mark the trees which may be cut down. Decayed or dying trees and those broken by storms are marked first for har- | vest. Others are cut on mountain- | sides where spruce and pine growth is growing to l)ulld‘ is congested, so that the sturdiest T trees will have room to grow. ‘Where forests have been thinned | out, the land is leased for livestock grazing and some 40,000 head of | cattle and horses and 20,000 :heep {ind pasturage there cach summer. Prevention of fires is an impor- Lant task of the federal forestry service, and hazards have been in creased so greatly by this sum- mer's tourist influx that five air- plane patrols have been added to the force of fire watchers. Lookouts are stationed on Bigh peaks, including Harney Peak and Mt Coolidge, with telephone intercomnmunication. Each moun- fain ecommunity has its volunteer | Yorest fire department. Railroads | through the forest preserves must burn oll inatead of coal to minimize fl\ni | to cut pine t fire hazards. Forest fires in the Hills average 52 a year, less than half of them due to human carelessness. Light- ning accounts for most of the rest. Last year a conflagration near the president’s summer home burned over 10.000 acres, but the average area lost to flames each year s only 365 acres. Battleship Gray Is Now Worn at Geneva Geneva, July 29 (P—Battleship gray is the uniform hue of the suits worn_ by the Japanese delegation to the naval limitation conference here. ‘With the single exception of Ad- miral Saito, the tint of painted steel is the favorite, even among the newspapermen accompanying the delegates.

HEROES ‘BELOW VITAL 10 FLIERS Famons Aviators Need Good Ground Crew New York, July 29 (M — There | by are “heroes dcwn below” in trans- oceanic flights as well as in naval | battles. “Ground fllers” they are, engi- neers and mechanicians, twentieth century grooms to the steeds of the air, who sometimes must travel 3,000 miles by water so that the trans-oceanic plane may fly back again. Two such men, typical mes- sengers of modern times, sailed for France recently to help recon- | dition the transatlantic plane | Columbia for its return flight with | Maurice Drcuhin, French aviator, and Charles A. Levine. 1 One was Thomas Harold “Doc” Kinkade, who as field service engi- neer for the Wright Aeronautical Corporation, helped tune and groom the America, Commander Byrd's plane. The other was John Carisi, chiet mechaniclan of thc‘ Columbla Aircraft Corporation, who | tolled to prepare the Columbia, | ‘ flown by Chamberlin and Levine. During and after the flights, | both had to be content with only | such pale rays of reflected glory as | came their way, But probably the | aviators themselves worked with no | more eager enthusiasm than they. | { Remaining on land they shared the | suspense of the fliers at sca, in | much the same way as the tralner of the racehorse watches the jockey | ruce his mount. Carisi went to France by sea, in | the wake of the machine he heiped | make ready, carrying spare parts | for its repair.

July 29 UP— Gerrit Smith Miller, the man who revolutionized milk production n the United States, is still on the Jjob as a dairy farmer near this vily lage. Although more than 80 years old, he is-still active in improving the Holsteiff-Friesian breed. His stock is the oldest herd of Holsteins {n the country.

He raised the first heifer registered in the first Holstein Herd 300k of America, which now has more than 1,000,000 entries. When Miller took the first pro- duction record, nearly 60 years ago, the gield of a good cow was esti- mated at 3,500 to 4,000 pounds an- nually.
