It seenis too bad that the still' and quiet of the Canadian woods must be disturbed by the sound of raucous reminders of civilization. But the terrible danger and destruction which forest fires bring call for extren»e measures. PerJiaps the warning from the skies may lessen pf fires in Canadian woodlands this year. If it does, the idea might well be tried in the United States. -/ ' r .' ■ J — ■ ■ i i : - ■'i ’u ' M ' - From time it has been suggested that automobiles should 1 be equipped with safety belts to reduce injuries in accidents. The proposal has merit in that most of the injuries suffered by accident victims are incurred in being thrown around inside the car. A stock car race driver, comes up with the proposal that safety belts should be used for all driving bver ferty miles an hour. The proposal suggests the further idea that autos should be rfgged with some sort of devipe to(give passengers warning when their belts should be used. One can well imagine the psychological effect of a sign above thp windshield, arranged to light automatically, saying in red' letters; “Fasten Seat Belts.” —•—o •o- ’ ■ .

Scurvy Can Be Prevented With Vitamin C

SCURVY Ik one of r those diseases which should have long Lpen lianihhed. Its cause is known , and the means of prevention so , siinpli! as to he within thtj\ reach of all.

Recently, a group of 37 children with scurvy was studied. In S 3 of these children the disease appeared within the latter hall ,•/ of their first ■ year iof life.

He was buried without military honors, but wore bis marshal's uniform to the grave. i I Proposed increases in postage rates will yield slightly less than 3300,000,000 in additional annual revenue to the Post Office.''The jneasure would increase the; cost cf ordinary first mail from three to four cents,' of airmail letters from six tq eight cents and of the penny post card: to two cents. The raise in rates may well be necessary. At present it costs two and ode-half cents to print,' sell and deliver the penny post card. The Post Office is a business and must be • operated on 1 sound business principles if it is to be efficient. Yet it is also a public service. If new rates will make for better service and get , the department out! of. the red, /j then unpleasant asrit is to pay ; higher. rates it should be worth- j while to do so. —T—o- OH - , 9 * Government Serwces.-H Few persons realize how varied and diverse are the* activities of < their government.

Where’s Laramie?" The crew stirred, moved uncertainly. A man replied after a long minute of silence, “We ain’t seen him, Tonto, none of us.” "Then find him,” Tonto growled. ‘I want to know how this happened and where he was' at the \time.” . *> - The men scattered. Jess Ide moved his horse up beside Tonto and Tex, and stared heavily into the dark canyon. All three men showed their utter dejection. Suddenly Tonto jerked up his head at an alarmed shout off to the left. “Jess! Hey, Jess! Come here, jKick!”

They parted as Tonto jumped out ot saddle and strode up. He stopped short when he saw the dark huddle on the ground. “It’s Laramie, Tonto,” someone said—paused, then, “He’s—burned up.” “He must have been asleep when the fire started,” Tex said, “and got caught." ‘ Tonto, looked around at the box canyon and the valley. He steeled himself, bent down and struck a match. I-aramic lay on his side. Tonto gingerly touched the charred form and rolled it over on its back. Some of the men turned away but Tonto gritted his teeth and struck another match. Laramie’s gun had been In its holster but the charred leather had allowed it, to fall. The moment Tor.io turned the man over, he saw that his hunch had been right There Was a hole in the center of the man’s chest Tonto snuffed out the match and arose. •’Better take him back to the ranch. Vic and the coroner will want to see him, I reckon.” “Shot!” Tex breathed. “Shot!” “Must have been someone he knew,” Tonto thought aloud. “That slug was too well centered to have been fired from a distance at night.” “Laramie knew about everybody around Avyillo, Tonto,” Tex scratched his head. “You’re taking in a heap of territory.” "You’re forgetting the beef we had corralled in here. Who knew about that?” “I reckon it wasn’t exactly a secret," Jess Ide said slowly, “and

Someone jaws a little careless, nothing muetj.- It’s picked up and carried on.” 1 “Wish 1 could believe that," Tonto said shortly. Some of the mon had rolled Laramie in a blanket and the body was lifted and put across the saddle ot a skittish horse. The crew had gathered in a tight knot around Tonto. He looked into the dark maw of the burned out canyon and turned away. . “Nothing more we can do tonight. We’ll get some rest ana clean up the mess in there tomorrow. We’d better ride, 1 reckon.” Tonto waited until all of them were mounted and then he started toward the Slash 8. Jess and Tex rode on either side.

Disaster had Struck swiftly and he had moved fast to meet it. Even anger had been held in check during the swift action of the fire. Now that was gone and he had ibst despite every effort he and the crew had been able to put forth. - / Very slowly the enormity of the loss sank into his consciousness and, as it assumed greater proportions, his anger grew. Someone had killed Laramie and just as deliberately had set fire to the grass, knowing the wind would take it up the canyon. It was deliberate murder and a cold and deliberate crippling of the Slash S. Jt meant that the unltnown perpetrator was filled with hatred for Tonto, the Slash S, or both. r 'A, .

The' fallowing two recipes are dis fer'ent,. They’re made with buttermilk. You'll discover that buttermilk sherbets are smoother and better tasting than ordinary sher bets.. Incidently, buttermilk is on the l|st of plentiful foods thh montlj. Lemon Sherbet 1 quart buttermilk % tun lemon juice ’A cup grated lemon rind cup sugar ** IVi cups light corn syrup Few drops of green food coloring Mix buttermilk, lemon juice, rind, sugar, and corn syrup in a large bowl. Add a few drops of green coloring to give the sherbet a “party look.” Set the refrigerator to the coldest point. Pour the mixture into 2 small refrigerator trays or onp large tray and freeze to a mushy consistency. Pour mushy sherbet into a chilled bowl and beat with a chilled egg beater until smooth. Additional mixing breaks up the tee crystals and results in a smoother sherbet.' Return to tray Freeze again. Beat the.sherbet two more times before allowing It to freeze firm* Recipe makes 6 servings.
