In Spokane us well us the coat
cities the forest service is waging re
cruiting campaigns similar to those
curried on during the war. 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.
Hut they have little chance to use
the bedding. Kire lighting Is an all

One result of the epidemic of fires
'in the present summer will be a vig
orous effort, on the part of lumber
companies and forestry men alike, to
secure from congress a greater ap
propriation for the forest serviee than
ever before. America s forests are no

that the trees can be sacriticed with

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

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.
