grasp him by the forearms halfway between elbows and wrists and 

 draw his arms up and over his head rather quickly but steadily, until 

 his hands touch the ground behind the head. Hold them there while 

 you count two. This motion draws the ribs up, extending the chest, 

 and the air enters. Then carry the arms back again until they rest 

 against the sides of the chest, the forearms a little on top of the chest. 

 Then press the forearms firmly downward on the chest for two counts. 

 This depresses the ribs and forces air out. 



Repeat these motions at the rate of fifteen or sixteen times a 

 minute force the forearms up over the head and then back again and a 

 gentle pressure on the chest. 



The "Don'ts." 



(Compiled by the United States Forest Service.) 



1. Don't throw your match away until you are sure it is out. 



2. Don't drop cigarette or cigar butts until the glow is extinguished. 



3. Don't knock out your pipe ashes while hot or where they will fall 

 into dry leaves or other inflammable material. 



4. Don't build a camp fire any larger than is absolutely necessary. 



5. Don't build a fire against a tree, a log, or a stump, or anywhere 

 but on bare soil. 



6. Don't leave a fire until you are sure it is out ; if necessary 

 smother it with earth or water. 



7. Don't burn brush or refuse in or near the woods if there is any 

 chance that the fire may spread beyond your control, or that the wind 

 may carry sparks where they would start a new fire. 



8. Don't be any more careless with fire in the woods than you are 

 with fire in your own home. 



9. Don't be idle when you discover a fire in the woods ; if you can't 

 put it out yourself, get help. Where a forest guard, ranger, or state 

 fire warden can be reached, call him up on the nearest telephone you 

 can find. 



10. Don't forget that human thoughtlessness and negligence are the 

 causes of more than half of the forest fires in this country, and that the 

 smallest spark may start a conflagration that will result in loss of life 

 and destruction of timber and young growth valuable not only for 

 lumber but for their influence in helping to prevent flood, erosion, and 

 drought. 



Does It Pay to Plant Trees? 



In the spring of 1871 three acres of practically worthless land in 

 Westmoreland, New Hampshire, was planted with trees at seven foot 

 intervals. In 1911 this three acre tract of planted trees was sold for 

 an even $1,000.
