FOREST FIRES t
r j ; t
TORTLAND, Ore., July 5.t
July opens, with the forest fire
situation oil the Pacific coast not
greatly changed during the past
month, being in the main still well
in hand but extremely critical, ac
cording to the bulletin issued to
day by the Western Forestry and
Conservation association from re
ports by Official and private agen
cies in five states. ' '
j Although in moat localities the
dryness and hazard has increased,
temporary favorable weather has
also enabled coping with the ob
nornially numerous fires of early
June, so that the patrol and fire
fighting ' forces have held their
own. Nevertheless, it is one of
the earliest and -most threatening
seasons ever, experienced. Grave
concern is expressed in nearly all
the" reports that without rain, the
situation may get out of hand at
any time unless' settlers, loggers,
and forest i visitors use excessive
caution with fire in any form, in
cluding matches and cigarettes.
Slashings are becoming almost ex
plosive and: fire near them should
be extinguished instantly. i
j Two airplanes have been sta
tioned at Eugene, Ore., by the war
department to assist protective
agencies if the smoke blanket ob
scures the mountain lookouts.
The Oregon state chamber of
commerce, urging similar action
elsewhere. : is making a drive
through local chambers to organ
ize citizens' "Stop Forest Fire
associations," with members fur
nished educational material and
blank pledges of care with fires,
matches and cigarettes.' The for
est "service has initiated a speak
ing campaign through the facili
ties of civic associations. Two
of the largest oil companies doing
business on. the coast are arrang
ing to distribute warnings to all
customers of filling station.
In California the situation is
doubly ' Serious because there is
little hope of more raini. The na
tional forests have had over 400
fires already, 180 of these caused
by lightning, with some 35,000
acres burned. The government
has made 66 arrests aind already
secured over 40 convictions. - Out

Crusade Against
The Df inking Cup
Fc deral. state aiid municipar
healfh authorities, aided by public
and torivate disease prevention' or-i
ganitations, are united to make.
arrrhssive warfare! 'during the!
oo' ; !
summer months against the com
mon drinking : Cupj jand certain
types j of public fountains. The
crusade is based upon a stringent
enforcement of the laws that now
are written in the Statutes of all
but three of the Elates and the
iocs ! health regulations that apply
in every city and Urge town of
importance. . ' - , j j . ' "' '
Threcords of Illnesses that af
flict: ihiundreds of thousands of
persons each year--and which
leave j their deadly j mark upon
children during the; warm months
show that the greater number
mmunicable disease are trace
able to Infection taken from com
mon receptacles. Among these
are;: common colds, grippe, influ
enza, j pneumonia, diphtheria, ton
sili Itis, measles, tuberculosis, .scar
let fever, typhoid fever and in
fantile paralysis.- ( I .
The menace of these illnesses -;
all jot which are sputum-borne dis-ceses-
is through discharges from
the mouth and .nose, left upon
cups. drinking glasses and other
vessels of general use. The germs
are deposited upon the receptacle
through the drippings that flow
bajk from the iiymth, are exhaled
Intb the cup or are imprinted by
th Hps. These await the next
user of the glass when, it is not
properly cleansed In the case
of some types of the so-called buhK
ble fountain bacteria settle in the
bowl or run oft the nozzle to pe
forcibly cast into j the nosp and
tbi mouth of the persons who fol
low in the use of the fountain.
These germs are conveyed by
pej-sons actually III, by others' con
valescing from attacks of disease
and often by persons in full health
whose resistance has made ' them
non-Susceptible to the disease
gefms they carry, iln all these
ca'es the persons act as convey
ers of. ' germs that have a high
morbidly danger and often carry
fatality. . j
The health authorities and thelr:
vouunteer assistants regard the
peril as virulently present in j the
tin dippers, the glasses on push
cdrt ; stands, the containers used
by juvenile or, other wayside bev
erage vendors' and glasses in of
fices and factories. Its greatest
presence, howeverj is in the glass-
es used in certain soda ioumaing
where the law is evaded through
intent or carelessness
i The laws and regulation obtain
g throughout the country pro
vide for a Complete sterilization
or the use of paper cups in such
circumstances where neither time
dor facilities are afforded to make
the glasses sterile. Often, par
ticularly in the rush hours, clerks
Will neglect to comply with the
liw j and consequently the glass.
Which one health authority in
ew, Jersey called tne "goblet of
death"; gains an accumulation ot
disease laden germs'.
( Professor Alvin Davison, the
noted .bacteriologist of Lafayette
dollego in Easton, Pa., recently
conducted a series of analyses up
on, the germ-content of. glasses
tjaken from various soda fountains
and water coolers. He found that
in many instances millions of
bacteria remain on the brim or
Inside the glass. In several case?
He found as many as 300,000
germs within a half Inch of the
top of a rlass where the: lips oi
