HOW FIRE FIGHTERS ARE FED Fighting a forest fire Is the mean est game in the world. It takes real men with well-laid plans to buck it successfully. Getting the fire under control is but one oCthe big problems. Feeding the fire fighters la of equal importance. Hundreds of fires break out each yeai in the most inaccessible parts of the national forests, especially in the Western states. Some start from lightning; others from camp fires carelessly left unextinguished by hunt ers and fishermen. Every one of these i fires is fought by forest service offi cers until it is completely out, regard less of whether It takes a day, a week or months. The bigger the fire, the ' greater number of men required to j control it. Frequently twenty-five or fifty, or even 100 or more, fire fighters are used on a single fire, where there is nothing but a trail leading to the scene of the conflagration. The men can usually waax or riae to uie lire camp, but the great difficulty is to transport the heavy, cumbersome out fit needed for cooking and for feeding such a crowd. Officers of the Rocky Mountain district have solved this problem by inventing a nested cooking and mess outtit, which is not only complete in every detail, but also com pact and light In weight. The thirty- man outfit, commonly used on the na tional forests, consists of two units packed in a tin and a ;jalvanized-iron boiler, each 26x12 Inches in size. The total weight of these units has been reduced to 160 pounds, and they are balanced so that tne whole outfit can ! be packed on one horse, with one boiler slung from each side of the pack sad- ale. tjonsideraDie ingenuity was re quired to get all the utensils and dishes I needed in cooking and feeding a crew j of thirty men into these two boilers. By careful nesting, however, this was ' accomplished. The boiler also serves j as a cooking utensil and the cover as a dlshpan. The second unit is housed in a galvanlzed-iron boiler which is not used for cooKing, but serves for washing clothes or heating water, the I cover being used as a washpan, Wal lace Hutchinson, in ropular Mechanics. o BOX FOR OVERSHOES A handy place for overshoes is a box underneath the back doorstep. The j boards from the ntpp may be taken up. cleated and hinged, and a box to fit. ! placed beneath the step. i i mwwm .mm!, . WE HAVE IT!!
