Insldo tho big green timber it's cool and damp. On a given aero tho Douglas firs are pumping tons of water every hour up Into the atmosphere nature's air conditioning in tho forest. Tho boughs screen off sunlight from the damp forest floor. A forest twenty years or more old will hold dampness, or humidity, through long spells of hot wcuther. This is the forest's own defense against fire Forest safety from fire Is gov erned, says E. 11. MacDanicls. our fire expert, by what the foresters call relative humldltv, or "RH." Mac carries all the facts on RH in his pocket, right along with his plug tobacco. He has yarded some facts out for this column. ' Tho west wind works to pro vide our humidity, he says, skim ming it off the Pacific and toting It over the timber and mountains. The resulting atmosphere of our coast region Is pretty soggy in fall, winter and spring, and when steam when you come into a wo'ro lucky tho summers ore j warm room, Rnn or (os on damp.

Whtra the Heat Comas In . . . Forest fires will start In win ter, with snow on the ground, when the RH drops to 20 per cent and less. The danger, of course, is much greater in the heat of summer. Here's why. Warm air will hold more water than cold air. Something to do with tho laws of the dlf- fusion of gases but let's not go Into that. Night air with temp erature at 85 or 70 degrees may bo well soaked say, with RH of 70 per cent. Everything is un der control. Then, sunup. The temperature Is boosted by noon to 83 or 80 degrees. And so the RH is re duced to 35 per cent or less, and the fire fighters see trouble com- ilng up In the hot hours of the afternoon.

Dry air, like a dry rag, will soak up more water than wet air or a wet rag. If air has soaked up all the water that It will hold, If It Is 100 per cent loaded; Its relative humidity RH is 100 per cent. If It has taken only half as much as It can carry, its RH is 50 per cent, and It will absorb more water from any thing wet. But being half soaked, that air is not so thirsty. When the air is only about one-third soaked that Is. with tho RH down near 30 per cent it will take up water pretty fast, and light forest fuel exposed to It soon gets dangerously dry.' When forester's Instruments show 30 per cent RH, logging camps shut down. However, the public will keep going to the woods until barred out, setting cigarctto and campers" fires. When RH gets down to from 20 to 10 per cent, as it may do In the fir belt, then the forest pro tection crews more than earn their money. Mac says he's seen forest fires start at such times from an angry look. In the plno country RH often reaches 6 per cent or less, ana P C L E S SUCCESSFULLY TREATED NO PAIN - NO HOSPITALISATION No Low of Tlmt Ptrmimwil Rnultl I DR. E. M.

It then will evaporate two or three times as fast as it will at 30 or 60 de grees. So forest fires do best on hot days. Our prevailing west winds bring In more moist and cool air ot night. Then the RH goes back to 50 or to 70 per cent even In summer weather. But let the curse of an east wind strike and hold, coming steadily over the Cascades from dry country, and then protection men begin to gulp and sob like LI'l Abncr. Heat holds through the night. Fern, brush, needles, rotted wood, stay dry. The RH falls, day by day, until In a thousand places hell breaks loose through tho forest floor.

NEW TYPE FOOD Pacific Northwest Men Wipe Japs From Munda Air Field; Klamath Man Named Instructor Inspects Community Cannery In Lakeview LAKEVIEW Mary Van Du scn, itinerant adult home econ omics instructor for tho state division of home economics voca tional education, was in Lake view two days the past week working with Mis. i,uua u ccra and William Holloway on the Lakeview community can nery. Miss Van Dusen states that the Lakeview cannery is the first of its kind in the state where small retorts are used for canning in tin cans with the use of gas for heat. She was pleased at the progress that has been made in arranging for and carrying on the project, and also the splendid cooperation of the citizens of the community, given Holloway In arranging for the cannery.

By ART BUHGESS ' WITH PACIFIC NORTH WEST INFANTRY UNITS AD VANCING ON BARIOKO, Aug. 25 (Dolayed)-(P) Pacific north west soldiers, veterans of Guad alcanal, Rcndova and Munda, who over-ran the last Japanese stronghold on New Georgia to- ,day, received high praise from their Yankee colonel who said he was amazed at their stamina, fortitude, bravery and woods manship. I "I never saw anything like it before." Col. James Dalton said, "Oregon, Washington and west coast boys are the talk of the Solomons area because of their splendid physique and ability in the woods. Adaptable "Some of them are great tree ! climbers and went up 100-foot ! naked trees without spurs for observation. They seemed to' be adaptable to outdoor life j more than other rtops." The Pacific northwesterns shared honors with another unit, made up mostly of New Engend ers. ....... Together, they were the first troops to land at Munda. "When j the - airfield was taken, .they ! didn't stop to rest but continued ; to push ahead until the last Jap janese was driven into the sea, j killed, or fled. This northwest unit was the l same group which I - watched train at Fort Lewis, Wash., two years ago. Now they are vet erans of marly battles, confident, tough, and not a single blotch to their record.

Their present commander; who personally led the troops in Members of the food trades who are not eligible or required to maintain ration bank accounts are to be provided with a new type of red and blue food ra tion coupons, the office of price administration announced Sat urday. ' These new coupons will re place point certificates when ra tion currency is Issued to per sons who are not entitled to have ration bank accounts and to in dividuals who must buy large quantities of rationed foods at one time. Food ration coupons of the new type will be used in the same way as stamps, certificates, and ration checks, except that they need not be endorsed. Un like ration stamps and certifi cates, they will not expire, but will be good any time. With the issuance of Satur day's amendments, the smaller industrial and institutional users are no longer eligible to main tain ration bank accounts. The effect will be to eliminate the smaller institutional and in dustrial users from ration bank ing and at the same time to pro vide them with a simple ration currency.

Tales of Heroes . There are many tales of hero ism of the Munda campaign. Sgt. Orville Cummins of Spo kane charged Japanese 75 MM. guns with hand grenades, creep ing near their pits under heavy fire and knocking out gun crews. Fifty Japanese dead were counted when he finished. Sgt. James Petty of Billings, Mnt., personally took a machine gun forward to a shellhole 50 yards from an enemy gun and took the position under sniper and mortar fire. Sgt. Keith Neighbours of Spo kane entered a Japanese pillbox and started to search apparently dead sons of Nippon. But they were merely playing dcad. - He discovered it just in time, backed away and opened fire killing all of them. Klamath Man Others outstanding under fire included such men as Sgt. Wil liam C.

(Based on actual sales records.) A STATEMENT ABOUT SYNTHETIC RUBBER When the Japanese seized Malaya and the Dutch East Indies and the bulk of our rubber supply, they thought they had crippled our fighting forces and our home front. They knew that as a people we moved and rode to work on rubber. They had an intimate knowledge of the thousand indispensable war needs for rubber in tanks -and ships, in planes and guns. Fortunately, American chemists had a knowl-' ' edge of and had worked in specialized fields with synthetic rubber. The Rubber, Petroleum, Al cohol and Chemical industries moved rapidly into the production of synthetic rubber. Under government direction the production rate of synthetic rubber has been steadily increased. By 1944, two years and a few days after Pearl Harbor, we shall be producing at an annual rate more rubber in America than we ever bought in our largest peacetime year. Next year, if the present production goal is achieved, there should be sufficient rubber to keep us rollin g . on both the home front and the fighting front. This achievement in the actual production of synthetic rubber in quantity is a definite and far-reaching allied victory which directly affects . every battle and every campaign from now until the end of the war. ' Synthetic rubber is a new kind of rubber with its own characteristics, its own advantages, its own disadvantages. Synthetic rubber is America's V answer to our enemies who thought they could vitally cripple us by seizing our rubber supply.
