URBACH & HE
J Seward city authorities and auto
i mobilists today waged a “wading”
| battle against the exceptionally
high tide which inundated portions
of the road across the lagoon and
around it. The tide was so high
that only the bridge on the recently
constructed road was discernible
above the water and the entire re
mainder of the road was submerged
i in inches of water. Meanwhile,
i autoists who tried to skirt the la
goon by taking the old road also
had their difficulties, as the water
flooded over this.
Towing an auto out of the water
which ran way above the running
boards of cars wa$ not an unusual j
| sight. One car is reported to have 1
j had three ;gallons of salt waiter j
; from the good old Pacific Ocean i
taken out of the engine before it
could be started. Boatmen were
quite at home as they serenely
rowed about watching the plight of
autoists.

FOREST EIRE HE FOR
LATEST METHODS WAR
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. </P> — i
The modern system of fighting
forest fires is based on the latest
methods of war, says a bulletin i
of the American Game Associa
tion Lookouts in towers many
miles apart today can locate a
fire on combat maps instantly
and with the air of instruments
and a system of traingulation
checked by telephone between two
or more towers.
As the fall danger period ap- j
proaches, state foresters and fed- j
eral forest service are prepared
with increasingly efficient fire
fighting machinery and organiza
tions to mobilize 1,000 men if nec
essary on short notice, speed them
by motor to any part of the for
est over a network of trails and
surround a blaze before it is well
underway. In isolated Sections,
men and material may be land
ed from airplanes, and many or
ganizations are prepared to scout
large fires from the air and direct
activities by radio. I
Another fire-fighting measure
forestry officials are reminding
the people that such heavy ex
penditures are made (necessary
almost wholly by human careless
ness.
