Roll Up the Smoke Screen TRINGENT law enforcement; educa- tion of the public; suspension of logging operations in summer; no smok ing in the forests—all these are sug- gested by lumbermen, legislators, sports- men and just plain citizens in a sym bsium on the forest fire situation in he Star Wednesday. The question asked was: How shall we roll up that smoke Screen and keep it rolled up next sum- ‘educa- ‘them, per! are Summed up in tion.” Education in this, as in else, ‘is the specific that will cure our i Well, the smoke screen in itself is an Peducation—not a pleasant lesson, of course, but it should be effective. We ‘never miss the scenery until the smoke ‘rolls down and hides it. We never stop bragging about it, until some tourist asks us where it is. * One thing that can be done: Enforce tthe law. Enforcing it with a few more ‘forest wardens is going to be cheaper than anything else. There is only one place for those who carelessly or deliberately set fire to our tforests—and that place is behind the __ The Other Fellow’s Good siablagr oe the fun in it naturally befogs the seriousness, to-wit: Judge Gary, head of the United States Steel Corporation, moves for appoint- tment of a citizens’ committee in aid of ‘enforcement. Whereupon, it is publicly charged that Judge Gary serves cock- ttails at his private dinners and is t“father” of Gary, Ind., 49 of whose of- “ficials were jailed, in one week, for corruption in connection with prohibition. Judge Gary wants prohibition for the of the workingmen, and his atti- -tude is quite human. Meet a fellow with “swollen jaws, on the street, and you ‘always want to insist on his having his teeth pulled. God help the poor; the “Tich can souse! -_A Score for the Railroads {7\VER on the other side of the moun- : tains, in the Inland Empire, one of ‘the favorite indoor sports used to be *“knocking the coast.” The idea was fos- ttered — and still is—by some East Side ‘newspapers, that Seattle is a low sink of iniquity in which the righteous are burned at the stake and in which all stores sell moonshine by the barrel. Now the railroads have taken to, selling round trip tickets for week-end excursions ‘from Spokane to Seattle. Two thousand Inland Empire folks came over last week- tend. More will come this fall. They think enough of the trip to sit up two nights _ tin a day-coach. And they'll see that, after all, Seattle- ites are much like themselves—that we ‘go to church and rear families and stroll thru the parks and behave ourselves like anybody else. __ Score one for the railroads in bringing ‘East Side-West Side into closer relation- ‘ship.

H. Paulhamus must be | watching with its old enthusiasm the preparations for the 26th annual Western Washington State fair. It was “Paul's” own fair, in a way. His burly form was the most familiar thing on the grounds at Puyallup; his hearty voice rang thru its grandstand and echoed among the build- ings where fat stock and gigantic produce vied for visitors’ attention This is the 26th fair year. The show, one of the best of its kind in the country, opens at Puyallup on September 21, run- ning thru until September 27. Others are carrying on Paul's work in the pleasant valleys south of Seattle and it will be a good fair. In a way, it’s Seattle's farm show. Give it a helping hand, if you can—in memory | of Paw. Let’s Make Silk in Seattle HAMBER OF COMMERCE is trying to bring the silk industry to Seattle. Eventually, of course, it will succeed. It is foolish, as is now done, to unload silk from fast liners here, trans-ship it to cars, rush those cars across the coun- try, manufacture the silk in Eastern mills and then ship the finished gocds back West. Some day that economic waste will stop. Silk mills will hum in Seattle. | The chief problem now seems to be in moving plants from the East And in get- ting labor to man them out here. But | those difficulties will be solved. Meanwhile, let’s keep on working to build up the industry. That’s the Seattle spirit.
