MICHIGAN SETS ASIDE FORESTS TO BE BURNED Timber Fires in Tests May Show Best Means of Combatting Lansing, Mich., Aug. 13.—(U.R)—In two gigantic laboratories, one of them containing 2.700 acres and the other I, acres, the state of Michigan and the federal government will learn how to combat the red menace of forest Area. Fire lighting apparatus and methods will be tried out under conditions as nearly as possible duplicating reality; weather conditions will be recorded, explosives* and gas will be given trials and new methods of “back firing" under varying conditions will be tested. When the work is completed—probably in two or three years — long strides will have been made towards curbing timber losses due tto fire, H. J. Andrews, head of Michigan’s fire fighting forces is confident. Only a start will he made this year, Andrews said, but in the spring of 1930 and during the summer the tests will be car ried on fully. One-Third of Area Doomed “When we have completed our work,” the warden said, “we will have . burned over about one-third of the . area which was set aside for the pur- I pose by the conservation commission. | Our work this fall will be the division of the land and timber into lots. .We shall probably work in units of two, burning one block of timber and saving the other adjacent to it for comparison. We will also burn similar j pieces of timber at different times of the year to compare damage and regrowth. Assistance of the federal government was assured the project through the interest of Crosby A. Hoar, dis- a trict forest inspector at Duluth, Min- v neseta, who promised that if the state j would set aside the land his department Will furnish technical help anti ( equipment. The cost of the work, it t is estimated, will be less titan $5,000 ( to be divided between the state and federal service. t Forest fires in Michigan, while they t have not been completely stamped out, ( have been cut down appreciably in j recent years, Andrews reports, and his report for 1929 may show the smal ( lest loss on record. t Effect of Weather t The year 1925 was really the last t costly one, according to Andrews, in ( that year 725,928 acres were burned , over with a loss estimated at $471,449 but in 1926 the decline was to ( 166.112 acres and a loss of $94,330. ( Last year there were 66,237 acres t burned and the damage was $59,664. ( The fire warden was frank to ad- t mit, however, that weather conditions , have much to do witli tire, in 1927 ) and 1928 there were no serious dry spells during the summer and to this i tact he attributes much of the reason i for the decline. i Careless cigaret smokers still are ‘ blamed for more forest fires in the i state than any other cause. Last year j they were responsible for 324 fires; i the others being blamed as follows: 1 land clearing. 160; campers, 22; rail- < roads, 178; incendiary, 37; unknown cause, 72. o Construction Is Approved Indianapolis, Aug. 13—(UP) —U. S. war department approval of plans for the Wabash river bridge connecting Princeton, Ind., and Mt. Oarmel, HL, has been received at the office of John J. Brown, Director of the state highway commission. The Illinois highway commission is completing detailed plans for the 2,700 foot bridge which will hav 22 foot road way. It will have 12 steel spans, each 225 feet long, and will be 25 feet above the 1913 high water mark. Cost will be approximately $600,000, to be divided between Illinois and Indiana. 'William J. Chjef highway engineer in Indiana, said agreement 'had been reached to get the structure under contract next fall. r—o May Be Greet Comfort A cultured ntan hns a lot of information thst doesn’t make him money but enables him to understand what Is going on in the world.—Terre Haute Tribune.

(internMlionai New Moen RACKETEERS GET LARGE PROFITS Almost Every Business Has Some Form of Racketeering in Chicago Chicago, Aug. 13. —(U.R)— Racketeers are extorting $36 from “every man, woman and child in Chicago.” according to Gordon L. Hostetter, executive secietary of the Employers’ Association. Hostetter predicted that the racketeers would extort nearly $2,000,000 before this year is ended. More bombs have been thrown in th? first seven-and-ahalf months of this year than ever before, Hostetter declared; 71 have been tossed since January 1, he said. Bombings brought estimated financial losses of $136,000,000 to the city’s business and industries in 1928, Hostetter asserted. The average loss per bomb was approximately S9BO. Thus far in 1929 if has been about $1,214, Hostetter figured. Hostetter's statement, came last night after Joseph Nielson, one of his assistants, had issued a warning to the Chicago cosmeticians and the Chicago and Illinois hairdressers’ societies, both of which have beeen approached frequently by racketeers hoping to “organize” them. Chicago has 94 organized rackets now, Nielsen reported. ‘’The business racket —an organization of business men for the purpose of exacting ‘dues’ and 'initiation fees’ and pushing up the prices—originally and putely a Chicago institution," Nielsen said. It worked so successfully here that it has spread to other cities.'' Nielsen explained how the rackets
