This paper some time ago pointed out the need for such equipment after an ac- cident on Railroad ave, when three per- Sons went over the rail and were drowned. | A motor truck, equipped with diving ap- f t paratus and manned by men experienced m™ rescue work, undoubtedly could have Saved at least some of these victims. .a The cost of equipping a motor truck F with pulmotors, diving apparatus and Other necessar liv ing equipment would be comparatively little. And, sta- » tioned at some central station, it could Tush to almost any point in the city in ES time to give aid while resuscitation was still possible. The value of such service would not only be in the equipment, but in the fact that it was in the hands of men who “knew how to use it—who were trained day after day in just that kind of work. With the summer coming on, and the likelihood that there will be the usual number of incautious and foolish persons who will face drowning in the lakes about Seattle, The Star believes such equipment now would be a wise investment. When Father Swung UESS this one will hold Dad! Nine-year-old Lydia Watts was Watching father swing at a teed ball, at - Byron Hot Springs, California, last April, When father smacked her on the cheek with his niblick, putter, driver or what- ever it was he using to do the plowing of the golf links.’ Now, little Lydia, thru her mother, sues father for $5,000 dam- ages. The papers don’t state how far Father Watts teed Lydia, but $5,000 for teeing one’s own innocent tho incautious child seems moderate enough. Tt seems to be an entirely harmonious ‘arrangement—child the damaged, mother the litigant and father the defendant— “and an arrangement meriting the interest ‘of all families having fathers who persist im golfing. The only inharmonious party Seems to be the insurance company which €arries Father Watts’ golf insurance. Evi- dently, if this company can be held for Lydia's damage, it behooves all wives and “daughters to see to it that father carries proper insurance against his driving both Ways at the tee. A “Tree Crop”. Law HE United States is the only major : country in the world without a na- | forest policy, says Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Tree as sociation, commenting on “Forest week, which begins April 27. “President Byram, of the Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul railway, says one- fourth of the lumber cut of 1922 came from five states served by his road,” said Pack. “Those states are Washington, Minnesota, Idaho and Mon- isconsin, ‘This situation brings forcibly to mind that the public is now paying $250,000,- 000 a year in freight rates to get forest ' products from distant points to the points of greatest consumption. “The consumer can not stand this sit- Hation much ionger. The Architectural Forum has just issued a statement that says the building program for 1925 means an expenditure of $50,000,000,000. A lot of that is going to be spent for lumber. _ “Seventy-five per cent of the virgin timber, and 60 per cent of all our timbe is in the Rocky mountain states or fur- ther West.

Here is a situation that Amer- icans must meet and answer, A national forestry policy would mean an annual timber crop. For why not have such a crop coming along every year just as we depend upon the annual crop of wheat or corn?” France does it. Germany does it, other up-to-date nations do it. don’t we? ] is to be doubted if a higher value has ever been placed on “ignorance” than during the tedious unraveling of the story of Teapot Dow In the course of the senate investiga- tion, high officials of the government, leading executives of oil companies, and just plain garden variety witnesses day And Why “Tgnorance” after day took refuge behind “I don't know.” ss In the trial at Cheyenne, .the govern- ment’s greatest problem has been to have spread on the records the facts known to be in the possession of certain witnesses some of whom were in the courtroom and some of whom were in France, in Africa, and in Mexico. But officially: nearly all witnesses “knew nothing.” One of the most important of the gov- ernment’s witnesses was to have been Col. Robert W. Stewart, chairman of the board of the Standard Oil company of In- diana. Colonel Stewart found it con- venient to set sail for “Mexico and South America” just before the trial began. But does his absence really matter? Had he lived up to the reputation for “ignorance” which he set when he testi- fied before the senate manufactures com- mittee in 1923, he would have added noth- ing to the testimony. At that time Colonel Stewart testified he did “not know an ing about the Mammoth Oi] company It was the Mammoth that got the lease to Teapot Dome. Later, during the Teapot investigation, it was shown that Colonel Stewart's com- pany owned one-half of the Sinclair Crude Oil company ; one-half of the Sinclair Pipe Line company, and a controlling interest in the Mid-West Refining company. Th three companies were all directly involved in the Teapot Dome exploitation. 3ut the chairman “knew nothing.” Verily, “ignorance” is bliss. It’s Coming Fine HE approaching baseball season is to be the most magnificent, in every respect, in all the history of the national pastime. We have this information direct from the training camps. The crop of young phenoms is unprece- dénted, every man of them “filled with the spirit that wins pennants.” Also, all the veterans who had an off season last year are rounding into shape to play the game of their lives, without a man among them who isn’t losing at least 20 pounds of flesh per week. We have it, too, that every manager, while not claiming that he has the pen- nant of 1925 cinched, has selected the one, if any, team that has got to beat him out of it. Also, each manager has some surprises up his sleeve.

While the Kelly bill, authoriz- ing tho postmaster general to extend tho alr mail service by contracting with private con- cerns, has become a law, con siderable opposition to it is now being volced. The bill got thru during the lith-hour rush of congress to fin- ish jt# seasion and before its pro- visions had been given much study. It4 opponents now claim that unless private enterprise can make a profit carrying tho mail, it assuredly will not carry it; and if any money is to bo mado, why shouldn't Uncle Sam make it? Col. Paul Henderson, second istant postmaster general in charge of alr mail, says this: “T have always thought that the postoffice department's alr mail service would sooner or Jater be performed by private contractors, and I feel that any extonsion of the existing alr mail service should not only bo done by private contractors, but should be done so that there will be no out-of-pocket expense to the government in connection with It.” Senator Kenneth McKellar, of Tennessee, often alluded to as the “father of air mall" because of his activities in passing the firat bill authorizing tho service, takes an opposite view, “The government has made such a remarkable success of its transcontinental air mail serv. foo,” he sald, “that now, when it i# reasonable to believo the service will be a big revenue pro- ducer in the future, I shall op- * poe any effort to turn the sery- ice over to private operators,” Congress is Ikely to seo more of the fight when It mocta next fall.
