"It is in the spring of the year that we feel the urgent need of warning people against the carelessness of handling matches, cigarette butts, remnants of camp fires, and other In- flammable matter in the fields and woods around Ann Arbor," was the statement of Prof. Leigh J. Young, when questioned in regard to the for- est work being carried on in this vic- inity. "Very few people appreciate the immense damage caused by forest fires. For years we have been at- tempting to educate the people in this respect. Four fires have already been found on Saginaw farm, formerly known as the University forestry farm. It was only good fortune that someone happened to discover these fires in time to stop the spread of the conflagration. According to Information obtained there have also been numerous fires on the Detroit Edison property in years past. In these fires more than 100 acres of young trees have been destroyed, representing a total loss of more than $1,000. Due to carelessness in handling matches, cigarette butts, and burning camp fires, the state of Michigan hasj passed a law which provides a heavyj penalty for anyone who builds a fire on another person's property without first having received permission.' "This law is particularly applicable in the case of the forestry farm and the Eber White woods owned by the University," said Professor Young.1 "These forests to the forestry de- partment are analogous to the labor- atories of the chemist. They are val- uable assets which the department possesses for carrying on its practical work. And for that reason we willj prosecute to the full extent of the lawj any offenders of the fire regulations apprehended on these stretches oft ground." Using as his subject the theory of mathematical probability, Arne Fisch- er, mathematician of the Prudential Insurance company, is talking to the insurance classes of Prof. J. W. Glover at 10 o'clock each morning during this week. He will give a talk to the general public at 4:15 o'clock Friday after- noon in room 205 of Mason hall. At this time he will talk on the recent progress in the theory of probability and statistics, and in this lecture he will divert from the detailed and tech- nical discussion which he uses in ad- dressing the insurance classes. Mr. Fischer is a Dane, possessing a wide knowledge of Scandinavian and Danish affairs, and consequently he is enabled to talk with authority on the work of these schools in his line of work. He Is the author of a recent book, "The Mathematical Theory of Prob- ability," which is considered by many to be one of the best English books written on the subject. Mr. Fischer is considered one of the best author- ities in the United States on this theory.

Order Early POSTOFFICE AND PRESS SAY "KEEP UNIFORMS" Although the signing of a bill by the President giving discharged sold- iers permission to retain their uni- forms has been announced several times tlprough the press, inquiries are still coming to The Daily office ask- ing for information on this subject. The press report used by several responsible papers and the fact that the postoffice has received orders to accept no uniforms consigned to the quartermaster's department should be sufficient proof that Uncle Sam does not want the outfits back. This is the way Major Durkee understands the situation. He cannot give apy of- ficial advice, due to the fact that his office has received no orders giving the former service men permission to retain the uniforms.. PROF.

Indiana Abolishes Spring Vacation Spring vacation has been dispensed with this year at the University of Indiana, but students are planning to take respites after the term examina- tions are over, cutting part of the first week of school. Advertise in The Daily.-Adv. t The Faculty of the Law School of the University of Michigan has arranged a special course for the Summer Session of 1919 and the first semester of the year 1919-1920, in which course the stu- dent is allowed to carry an amount of work slightly in excess of the normal amount and thus gain the equivalent of a year of credit. The saving of time for students who may be discharged 'from the army or navy before June 23 will thus be considerable and of great importance in aiding them to secure early admis- sion to the bar. The course will include all subjects of the reg-,. ular curriculum and will be given in the regular way by the Law School Staff. Students desiring to take advantage of this course must pre- sent official evidence of their military or naval service.
