She had been at Los Angeles where she was taking a course with the Nation School of Cosmeticians. Her course would have shortly been competed at which time she was to return to her home in Richfield and open up a business in her line. Death, it said, was the result of a fall from the building where the and woman was living. Overwork strict attention to her profession, it is believed, caused a Finding herself unable to sleep, she went to the roof garden where she was living and it is supposed she was sitting in a chair and feel asleep.

Rutledge, district forester of the Intermountain district. Although it is difficult to prove ex- actly what improvement has taken place on account of the campaign of public education for care with fires in the forests, at the same time the indications are all very encouraging. Fires in the intermountain region are caused by two great factors, human arelessness and lightning. The percentage of each varies enormously from year to year owing to the occurence of years of extremely bad or slight danger from lightning. Tak-n- g it over a long period of time, however, there is no reason to believe that lightning fires are increasing or decreasing. If this is true, it is very evident that man made fires hrough carelessness are definitely decreasing, as ten or fifteen years ago the average percentage of manmade fires in the intermountain region was approximately 70 per cent, while during the last five years it has been nearer 40 per cent. Whether 1924 is to continue the god showing of previous years depends upon the carefulness of every person going into forest land. A person unfamiliar with conditions in the forests and mountains is frequently extremely careless with fire. It must be understood that camp fires must ,iot only be built in safe places and kept small but they must not be left burning. Furthermore a bit of left over coffee and some damp grounds are insufficient to put out a camp fire. It must be well soaked with .vater or covered thoroughly with jarth. The smoker is another grave offender in the woods and tiie tailor-mad- e cigarette has been shown to be especially dangerous in the Northwest where many serious fires along roadways have been traced to this The expense of fighting agency. forest fires is mounting every year and it only through an awakened public conscience which will demand care of everyone going into the forests that this figure may be reduced. The forest service slogan is indeed true Prevent Forest Fires It Pays! . Former Teacher Visits Glenn Hansen, former instructor in music in the Salina high school, but now located at Morgan, visited in Salina last Saturday and Sunday.
