tho dainago by thn motor vehicle to

smooth resilience of Fifth' Avenue,
Now York (paved with sheet asphalt,
with tho rough, gritty and flinty sur

would pay tha difference In construc

LOST GERMANY
WASHIN'OTON, Aug. 13 He-
cnusc of tbo war, Germany lost
about 21,547,520 acres of land e,x
cluslro'uf plebiscites. This was un
doubtedly u serioas national 'mlifor-
lunn to Germ any. Tho United States,
during tho period 1916-1920, 'Inclu
sive, burned up 66, 4 88,307 acres of
our forested area over 2V4 times as
much as Germany's entlro loss an
area eroatcr than New York, and
Pennsylvania combined, or of. Min
nesota, Kansas, Idaho, or Utah.
Whllo It is Imposslblo to trite tbo
origin ot all forest fires, tha Mcordi
of the forest scrvlcb of 'tWwnlted
Htates department 'Of. ..agrlfjitture
show that a large number originate
through tho carelessness of nappy
go-lucky tourists. Tho forest ser
vice Is anxious to encourage ttto uso
ot tho national forests as recreation
grounds. It cooperates with plans
for building flno roads through tho
forests, and establishes numerous
freo camping grounds, 'where bolt-.
or, water, and firewood may be ob
tained. Many of these caranr are
located, on main automobile .high
ways and aro easily reached. Home
statos provide tourist guide maps to'
tho forests and camp sites. About
C, 000, 000 pooplo, it is estimated, uno
tho forests each year during the va
cation season. At Eaglo Camp
ground on tho Columbia river high
way in thn Oregon national forest,
132,000 tourists registered last year
Some of tho camper, bowoycr, do
not scorn to appreciate tho pleas
ures and privileges afforded to tho
touring public. Thoy dlcflguro the
scone ry with rubbish and filth, they
disregard gnmo laws and polluto
straams. but their worst and most
froquontly recurring offense, accord
ing to forest officers, is tho starting
of destructive forest fires by car-
leasoeu either with camp fires or
with smoking.
A lighted cigarette thrown Into
dry -leave or needles, may start a
tiro that will spread for. miles. A
ramp flro not tull extinguished may
be the means of destroying valuable
timber which has taken hundreds ot
years to reach maturity. The re
ports o' forest rangers aro filled with
dramatic accounts ot tho work In
volved In controlling such tires, and
also; In detecting and bringing the
culprits before a Judge aftor follow
ing tha mty slight clues obtainable
in ii deserted camp site. Somotimcs
an old bottle or a pocket handker
chief will reveal tho original pos
sessor who did not put out his flro.
Somotimcs a particular make of
automobllo tiro can bo traced for
miles and tho caroloss camper has
been brought to justice.
No finos, howevor, on the part ot
the local magistrate, will restoro
tbo burned area. Whllo tho forest
rangers aro vigilant and alert to
catch carclcsjuess and prevent in
cipient fires, tho real need, tho fort
esters guy, h for the development
of moro conscience on the part ot
tho puhllc which uses the National
Forests. , It is greatly desired by
the Forest Sorvlco that all the 147
National Forests, from tho Atlantic
to the Pacific, and from Oulf to
Border, be 'used and enjoyed,' to tho
fullest extent by as many people as
possible. This involves- universal
adoption of tho slogan, "De sure
your fire Is out!" ,

preparation, becauso It dark

one can possibly tell, as It darkdns
so naturally and evenly. You moisten
a spoogoor soft brush with It, draw
ing this through the balr, taking one
small strand at .a time. I)y morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two its natural
color Is restored, and It becomes
