It's Not the Hast But the
Humidity
Outside the woods It's a hot,
dry day. 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

weather in the woods will toast
a slice of bread before you can
get It buttered.
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.
Warm water evaporates faster

RH In a Nutshell ...
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

by direct sunlight. 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

Heat holds through the night.

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.

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.

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.
