It is a war against Haines almost as destruc tive to America ns the Haines that broke out la Europe. Lumberjacks, those big-shouldered veterans of the forest life, make the , finest lire lighters. This summer they have hud little chance to engage in their regular work of cutting timber, and have bent till their efforts to sav ing the forests that house the nation. The forest service maintains u cease less lookout. As soon as smoke Is dis cerned the news Is Hushed to head quarters; a crew Is hastily recruited .and equipped, nnd sent into the burn ing area with full supplies of food, touls and bedding.

YOU DO USE OUAIL TACTICS How Villa and His Men Foil Pursuit. Bandits Scatter and Hide as Federals Appear Brown Uniforms Aid. Jnnrez, Mcx. Francisco Villa's method of evading pursuit by Mexi can government troops Is almost Iden tical with that used by a covey of (until to escape the hunter. Even the detail of protective coloring has been applied by Villa, for his men always wear brown cotton clothing which blends with the desert landscape and dust clouds through which they travel In campaign. Hunters know that the quail's In stinct directs It to scatter when dan- j per approaches and seek cover to the neur-uy Jitmiscnpe. vine ana nis reo el bunds do the same thing when a superior federal column approaches. Often Villa s hand will numher 2.000 men under his chiefs, Angeles, Lopez, I'iuz und Garcia. They make a col umn which colls across the plains like n piunt snake and leaves a great dust cloud In Its wake. Hut let General Castro's government troops approach with artillery, ma chine pirns and cavalry mounted on former American army horses and the column will break up Into little bunds of UK) under petty chiefs, will disap pear In some mountain canyons and po Into hiding until the federals pass. Once the danger of attack Is over the column reassembles, occupies some town la Its path and again disappears with Us loot. Villa's men have been known to hitch their horses to plows In the lields of the irrigated districts and be Industriously plowing when the fed eral scouts appeared. Tbev tr-r-b ' .il various trlckj u ucciiu.n nuiiug the years of evading the fed erals, and even drive a herd of burros with them so they may transform (httnselvcs Into wood venders on oc casion. ''Amen Corner." Tho phrase "amen corner," Is said to have originated in London, where, at 'he end of 1'aternos.ter row, the monks rit one time finished their recitation of the "Pater Noster" as they went In procession on Corpus Christl day to St. Paul's cathedral. They began In Paternoster room- with the . Lord's prayer in I-atia. continuing It .to the end of the street, and then said i "amen" nt the corner of the row. As used in this country tho phrase de scribes the corner of a .hureh where I the elderly members sit and pronounce i he word "aineu" at intervals. More Difficult Task.

The New Era Movement in the Pres byterian Church. The First Presbyterian church has ndopted the great program of the New Era Movement nnd begins an aggres sive campaign this next Sunday. Not of extra, special services, but of defi nite work in all the regular organiza tions of the church.
