Bell phone 694-R. ■ ;.i Try Telegraph Want Ads TUESDAY EVENING, 'ls FOREST FIRES COST $850,000 42,000 Acres of State Land and 295,000 of Private Property Destroyed 1,101 DURING THE YEAR Railroads, Incendiaries, Care- i lessness of Hunters Are Responsible est. flro statistics Is- Arr sued to-day by the *< Department of For estry, Pennsylvania Jo»t $850,000 from forest fires in 1915. ■feilffllllljljl were reported for pig—-38 burned over 42,000 acres of the State forests and 295.000 acres of private forest, land. Over $32,000 was spent [ in extinguishing them. . The causes are given as. follows: i Railroads, 274 fires, doing $185,000 damage; brush burning" on dry or j windy days, 105 fires, doing $35,000 | damage; incendiary, 102 fires, doing $98,000 damage; carelessness of hunt ! ers. fishermen and campers, 136 fires, i doing SIOB,OOO damage; lightning, 19 | fires, doing $2,000 damage; miscella neous, 37 fires, doing $52,000 damage; unknown, 382 fires, doing $305,000 damage. Department officials say that reason able care would have prevented prac tically all the fires except those caused by lightning and a few which started from burning buildings. The average fire covered 300 acres, did damage estimated at $775 and cost S3O to extinguish. Half the flre» cov ered less than 100 acres each; one third covered from 100 to 1,000 acres each, and 77 are reported as having burned over more than 1,000 acres each, or about 60 per cent, of the total burned area. It is apparent that the greater part of the damage Is done by the comparatively few large fires, hence the department will make a special effort in 1916 to reduce the number of thousand-acre fires. New York, which protects about the same forest area as Pennsylvania, ap propriates a cent an acre each year for prevention and extinction, and the average fire covers only 33 acres; Pennsylvania appropriated only three tenths of a cent per acre and Its aver age fire is ten times as large. The $830,000 loss is the direct loss from burned timber only. The in- | direct loss cannot be computed accu rately, but it is estimated at from $15,000,000 to $25,000,000. In this estimate are included the loss to labor caused by keeping unproductive 5,000,000 acres of forest, every acre of ! which is burned over once In ten years; | the loss in floods, water famines and impure water supply, caused by the burning of the humus and litter on j the forest floor, which is Nature's filter; the loss in taxes, due to de j preciation in value of the burned for | ests, which amounts to about $300,000 I a year; and the loss to agricultural crops, which suffer from the reduced humidity of the air where no forests are present to give off moisture. There is also a decided decrease in game and | birds, thousands of small animals and | birds being actually burned and thou sands more driven from the burned I forests. , ' The new bureau of forest protection, created by an act passed at the last session of the Legislature, has reor ganized the forest fire warden system of the State on a nonpolitical basis, making appointments only on merit. The co-operation of the game and fish warden, rural mair carriers, employes of the State Highway Department and the State police has been secured. In cluding the foresters and rangers in (he Pennsylvania Forest Service, the total number of wardens is now about 1,800. The bureau has $45,000 available for Its work of prevention and extinction j of forest fires for two years. Since it cost $32,000 for one year for extinc tion only, It is evident that few pre ventive measures can be taken or much relief expected until sufficient funds are appropriated.

Confer On Road. An Important conference was held at the Capitol yesterday afternoon on the advisability Cocoanut Oil Fine For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair In good condition, be careful what you wash it 'with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsi fied cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly Injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub It in. One or two teaspoon fuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleases the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and even ly. and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.—Advertisement.

Proper Way to Keep Your Hair In Curl If you want your hair to grow and thrive, don't curl.lt with a hot iron. The regular use of this barbarous instru ment is bound to keep the hair dried and parched looking, with broken, un even ends. It's a lot more sensible to adopt the simple silmerlne method, which will not Interfere in the least with the growth and health of the hair. Moreover, it means a far more beautiful curly and wavy effect, with no evi dence of having been artificially acquir ed. A few ounces of liquid silmerine— which can of course be found in any drug store —will last a long time. Just try a little of this harmless liquid to-night, nip a clean tooth brush Ino it and draw this down the full length of the hair. Silmerine. by the way, is neither sticky nor greasy; you will be simply delighted with it.—Advertisement. FEBRUARY 8, 1916.
