STATE AND NATION JOIN IN 
: FIRE FIGHTING 
The report of a conference on for- 
est fire protection by the various 
states has just been issued by the 
federal department of agriculture. 
This conference was attended by rep- 
resentatives from all the New Engz- 
land states, New York, New Jersey, 
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, 
West Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio, 
Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, and 
Washington. 
The meeting was called to discuss 
the section of the Weeks law which 
authorizes co-operation between the 
federal government and the states in 
protecting from fire forests situated 
on the watersheds of navigable 
streams. ‘The conference considered 
not only the details of carrying out 
the law, but the results. which the law 
has accomplished and the promise 
which it gives of future accomplish- 
ment. 
The various subjects discussed in- 
cluded patrol work, co-operation with 
private owners of timberland, and co- 
operation with other protective agen- 
cies and with railroads. The confer- 
ence is said to have established be- 
yond a doubt the great value of fire 
lookout stations and towers, and the 
imperative need of telephone com- 
munication, as well as other perman- 
ent construction work, to include 
roads and trails. In all of these 
activities the value of co-operation 
between the various agencies was em- 
phasized, and it was brought out that 
efficiency could be raised and ex- 
penses lowered when state, nation, 
lumber companies, and private indi- 
viduals work together in accordance 
with a plan evolved by all. 
It was shown that the disposal of 
the slash left after lumbering means 
the elimination of a great source of 
danger from fires. In some cases it 
was shown that it was best to dispose 
of this material by burning it under 
supervision when there was _ little 
danger from fire. In other cases it 
was proved to be sufficient to lop the 
branches, so that all would lie close 
to the ground and decay quickly. 
In the discussion of actual fire 
fighting it was pointed out that the 
secret of the suppression and control 
of fires in the woods is not essentially 
different from that in the city, and 
lies in having a trained and depend- 
able fighting organization.

There was a tango maiden 
And she had a tango smile, 
She wore a tango bonnet 
And danced a tango mile; 
She met a tango teacher 
And became his tango wife; 
And ever since they’ve lived, I hear, 
A tangled tango life,

asked for by the Selectmen or by any

Many Moror Trucks In N. Y. 
“Greater New York is giving the 
rest of the country an interesting 
demonstration of what motor trucks 
can do,” says John N, Willys, presi- 
dent of the Garford company of Ely- 
ria, Ohio. “The metropolis has long 
led in the number of commercial ve- 
hicles, as it has in other things, and 
more and more business men there 
are discarding horses every day. We 
have received word from the R. & 
I, company, our eastern truck dis- 
tributors, that the phenominal 
growth of their business has made 
another big station necessary. This 
company only recently completed a 
mammoth structure in upper New 
York city, and the new building is to 
be located in Brooklyn to take care 
of the business on Long Island. With 
the completion of this building the 
R. & L. company will cover Greater 
New York thoroughly, for they now 
have three service stations in opera- 
tion—one at Central Ave. and Hud- 
son St., in Newark, another at West 
End Ave. and 64th St. in Manhattan, 
and the big new building at rsoth 
St. and Gerard Ave., The Bronx.”
