Aviators Find Romance and Many Thrills
In the Service.
San Francisco, May 21. Aviators
of the United States lorest service
in California last season traveled
388,820 miles, or a fraction more
than IS times the circumference of
the globe, according to records com
piled recently.
In . their flights the airmen pro
tected from fire 24,000,000 acres of
wooded lands, growing 110,000,000,
000 feet of marketable timber, con
servatively estimated by the forest
service as worth $220,000,000.
Twenty-six planes took part in the
foresf flights, and in spite of the ex
treme hazards entailed by flying
over fires there were but three fatali
ties. The flying patrol was from the
Ninth Aero squadron of the army
and included a radio service which
also proved most effective in locat
ing fires.
Has Romance.
The squadron base during the sea
son was Mather field, Sacramento,
with branch bases at Red Bluff,
Fresno and March field.
This season, according to present
plans, the airplane forest service
will be extended to Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho and Montana.
The patrol lacked little of the ro
mance and glamour of war, although
its mission was essentially a peace
ful one.
' Often there was necessity for in
stant action, and one particular test
of mobility was called for when 32
fires broke out in the Lassen for
ests in two days.
There were plenty of good fighters
on hand, but few experienced lead
ers. An 'S. O. S." call was sen: to
Sonora, 200 miles away, and in a
few hours two forest officers from
that place were directing the fight
ing. Forest Catches Fire.
A few days later the Stanislaus
forest caught fire and the officers
were rusherL-back.
Through liaision officers the radio
was given a thorough and effective
test. Even when the aviators failed
to make a fire discovery the data of
the observers were important to the
protection organization.
Tests that probably reminded the
aviators of experiences on the west
ern front came when the airships

Then there was the same neces
sity for directing the charge of. the
fire fighters as for directing the
barrage of war days.
As the fire moved onward, the
aviators, by wireless, told the fight
ers below just where to attack.
Fire lines were watched for new out
breaks just as enemy lines were
watched for new attacks.
The forest "front" extended 750
miles, from Oregon to the Mexico
line, smd the "battle" lasted from

Policewomen of
Boston Prefer
Kindness to Clubs
Don't Carry Guns, Wear Uni
forms or Badges and Maka
Only Necessary
Arrests.
Boston, May 14. Every man upon
the force wears a watch and chain,
of course, together with other dis
tinguishing devices, but not so Bos
ton's new women police.
Quietly dressed, unobtrusive in de
meanor, they move- in mysterious
ways, their duties to perform, ac
cording to Mrs. Margaret MacHugh,
one of the appointees.
Here are some of the things the
policewomen do and don't do, as out
lined by Mrs. Macllugh:
No Guns.
They don't carry guns.
They don't wear uniforms.
They carry their badges inside
their purses. ,
hey never call attention to them
selves if it can be avoided.
They make arrests only when
necessary.
They may in truth be called "plain
clothes women," as their costumes
are simple in design and preferably
dark.
Mrs. MacHugh delivered herself of
an epigram. "Common sense and
kindness," said she, "are better than
the strong arm and a club."
Mrs. MacHugh, who was formerly
chief night operator In the Brighton
telephone exchange, spent her first
day off duty on the Common.
Kindly Eye..
"I wouldn"t describe the Common
as the evil place that some good peo
ple sec fit to call it," said she. "It
is very well ordered, with well
mannered people, young and old, en
joying the fresh air and sunshine. I
saw many young womer with male
friends, improving the opt jrtunitics
for talk and compansionship which
the Common affords. It is fit, how
ever, that a matron should he about,
like a mother at home-keeping a
kindly eye on all."
There are more than 200 kinds of
silk producing insects, but only a
few of them are useful to mankind.
