Help Save Our Forests

San Francisco, July l3.-Going on a vacation? Then be on your guard when in the woods, for the fi.re demon is liable to 'go on a ram,page any minute. Favorable weather conditions have kept the fire toll at a comparatively low figure this season, but u'ith the long w?rn summer days and the ,heavy vacation travel to the mountains the danger is increasing daily.

Already tihis year 133 fires which burned, over 11,000 acres have occurred within and ad.jacent to the National Forests of California, reports the United States Forest Service. Over 70 per cent of those were set through human carelessness-an exceptionally ,high record, forest experts say, for so early in the season. Twenty-three people have faced the Judge this year for setting fires or leaving them. unextinguished, and 22 convictions have been secured. In the National Forests the fire protection force has been increased by 400 patrolmen, and over 100 lookout points have been manned by observers, who are on duty from daylight 'to dark to watch for fire smoke.

"Help us save the forests from destruction by fire," is the plea of the National Forest Ranger to every vacationjst wholoves the trees and the mountains. "Don't build a fire in a National Forest unless you have a campfire permit, and be sure to put it out before you leave it. Be capeful with your lighted matches and cigarettes. Make 'Care with Fire' vour watchword when in the mountains."

..MAKES ARTIF'ICIAL WOOD''

Nuwegian Scientist Cornpounds it of S';aq/dust, Chalk and Chendcals.

"Christiania, June 25.-By using a mixture of 5O per cent sawdust with chalk and chemicals and subjecting it to very heavy pressure, a scientist of the Kullebund says he has succeed'ed in making 'artificial wood,' possessing all the qualities of genuine timber.

- "Its specific gravity is the same as that of wood, iti hardnesi that of oak. ft can be planed, sawed, bored, nailed, painted, stained or polished, and subjected to every process-of carpentry or manufacture for which real wood is used. It will not deteriorate in water, and on account of the chemicals it contains it is impervious to rot and burnl only at a temperature very much higher than that at which real timber ignites."
