More than $25,000,000 worth of standing timber in the United States is destroyed by forest fires each year, according to estimates made by the Forest Service of the Un'ted States Departmont of Agriculture. This re presents a serij"us loss to the country, particularly at presernt when the Na tion is using up its resources of tim ber four times as fast as it is grown, and as a consequence is facing a ie pletion of its forests. Not every one in the country will be able to visit the display of the Firest Service, which, as a part of the department's exhibit, is to be on show at various fairs throughout the country during the next few months. The lessons of the exhibit, however, should appeal strongly to everyone, as they point out grap'ically the more common ways by which destructive forest fires are started through care lessness.

Similar actioni has been taken by a Catmdian tobacco company as a step toward safeguarding the tim ber resources of the Dominion. Some lumber companies in the United States do not allow their employees to smoke in the woods, and the ex tension of this rule is being strongly urged. The -Forest Service is endeavoring to impress upon Ithe public the dangeri that results from dropping a lighted match, a pipe coal, or a lighted cigar tte or cigar stunip in or near a w%'ood.
