And this is British Columbia‘s testiâ€" | mony: "From experience gained in[ British Columbia the unqualified| statement is made that unless brush' burning is controlled by means of perâ€"| mits, no real fire protection is posâ€"| sible in a timbered country." | What says the Chief Forester of _ the highly organized Western Forestâ€" ry and Conservation _ Association, Portland, Ore. "In our _ Pacific Northwestern States, the burning permit is as accepted a part of fire prevention as patrol or fire fighting. None considers abandoning it. Last year in the State of Washington alone, nearly 13,000 burning permits were issued and under them 118,000 acres were burned over. The Permit‘ is an absolute essential of any serious | attempt to reduce fire in a developinzl forest region. | "Well?" "We have been so successful under the Permit System that we would under no circumstances go back to the old way of handling fires. The sgettlers have coâ€"operated with us in every way and their satisfaction is universal. So far we have had not a single fire caused by a settler, a most unusual and satisfactory record." So I signed a fictitions The President of the St. Maurice Forest Protective Association of Queâ€" bec, patrolling 12,000 square miles of forested and partly settled country, states under date Aug. 31, 1916: "This year, there must have been over 2,500 permits granted. There has been no damage caused by fire for clearing purposes made in virtue of these permits." "After a careful study of the quesâ€" tion," writes Hon. Jules Allard, Minâ€" ister of Lands and Forests for Queâ€" bec, "we came to the conclusion that the most efficient means of protectâ€" ing the forests from damage caused by settlers‘ fires, at the same time fostering the agricultural developâ€" ment of the province, was the Permit System. ‘ How a Tight Rein May be Kept on Forest Fires. How does the Permit Plan of conâ€" trolling settlers‘ fires work in other provinces and states? This question has assumed public interest since the disastrous consequences of uncontrolâ€" led settlers‘ fires in Northern On-‘ tario in July and August. | Some men, infirm of purpose, wear beards to hide the vacillating chin. Some wear them to satisfy clection wagers, some to exasperate the barâ€" ber and save money, some to elude the sheriff or the income tax collector. The beard is the first aid bo oracular philosophy, as enabling one to appear inscrutably sags without saying a word. _ It bestows on a young docâ€" tor the physiognomy of matured exâ€" perience. _ But above all to the soldâ€" ier it imparts a dreadful mien; to be hirsute is to be horrendous. _ Let the French nation, sorrowful because of the altered aspect of the "poilus," take comfort in the fact that it has now become impossible for the Bosâ€" ches to beard them in their trenches. Plenty of hair upon the chin has been sipposed to make the soldier formidable. "If Russia would shave," said Dooley before the war, "we shouldn‘t be afraid of her." Shakeâ€" speare‘s man of war was "full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard." _ Yet the beard in the French army, which has given his name to the "poilu," "the hairy one," is at last to pass under the shears; and General Pierre Cherfits estimates that with 2,000,000 men on the firing line, at sixty grammes apiece, this means a sheer loss in weight of 120 tons to the French army. _ It was to be exâ€" pected that academicians and artists, seulptors and literati would unite in elegiac strains to lament the passing. Auguste Rodin, who is bearded like unto the Spanish liveâ€"oak with its moss, delivers himself of an impasâ€" sioned apostrophe. "Men without beards, women without sex, statues without heads, bodies without arms, humanity withoit weaknes=, that is my opinion."
