SOMEBODY LIED] I M DY'A lANTA NICE LITTLE CARTOON OnOOROWN? AIL RlfrHT-SENDUS AH IDEA FOR SQWWOtftf LIEO-KELLUSE LfT-AW miW THE ORIGINAL TUESDAY EVENING, "yporili^ki rsanization of the fire warden system was the largest single factor in cutting j down the loss. As usual, railroads and campers; head the list of causes, with 270 and { 182 fires respectively to their dis-■: credit. Brush burning on dry days' caused fifty-five tires; ninety-five were! of incendiary origin; carelessly con-1 ducted lumbering operations caused forty-four; ten were caused by light- i ning, and forty-five were caused by j miscellaneous agencies, such as chil-1 dren playing with matches. The, causes of 312 fires are unknown. As a further commentary on the efficiency of the fire warden system, it! is noted that 103 fires burned less than | one acre each, and 765 were extin-' guished before they covered a liundred acres. Over half of the damage was i done by twenty-eight iires of over 1,-1 000 acres each, which burned a total of 80,000 acres in sixteen counties, i The largest of these fires occurred ii Blair, Cameron. Clearfield, Hunting-! don, Luzerne and Potter counties, j Blair. Luzerne and Potter are tied for f the doubtful honor of being first on 1 this list, each paving had a lire of over I 10.000 acres. Xo fires were reported from Alle-! Beaver, Delaware. Erie, Greene, j Lawrence, Montour, Philadelphia or' Washington counties, but small tires t burned even in such agricultural coutr- j ties as Bucks, Chester and Montgom- 1 ery. Blair county suffered most se-1 verely, with 18.000 acres burned. Al- j most 16.000 acres went up in smoke! in Luzerne county, and 13,400 acres j were burned in Potter county. The; heaviest money loss occurred in Clin- j ton county, where 6,700 acres, valued at almost $25,000, were burned over. As indicating how variable weather conditions affect the forest lire seasons | it is interesting to note that fires oc-1 curred in every month of 1916 except February. Almost fifty per cent, of thei fires burned between August 1 and De- | cember 15, which is very unusual. In i 1915 nearly ninety per cent, of the' fires occurred before June 1. Prac-1 tically half of the fall fires in 1916 ! occurred during one very dry week in the early part of December. Further changes are being made i from time to time in the list of fire i wardens. The State will be thoroughly i covered township by township, and j wardens will be appointed wherever there is enough forest area to justify appointment. The greater part of the State has been covered in this way al ready. and over 1.500 wardens are now on the roster, In addition to the force of foresters and gangers. Park Tennis Club Plans Busy Season , The Harrisburg Park Tennis Club has launched a membership cam paign and plans are being laid for j one of the busiest seasons in the his tory of the organization. Representa : tive teams will be entered in from fifteen to twenty tournaments, accord ing to arrangements.

Middletown, Huinmelstown, Carlisle, Lebanon Valley College, Dickinson College and other teams.

They can be given to any member of the committee, which is ; composed by James K. Jackson, Ray Clark, Glenwood Beard, Mrs. John ) Runkle and Ruth Starry, or sent to Miss Anna Cubbison, the club treas urer, in the Park Department offices. I.KWI.STOWX GIRL SHOT j Lewis town, Pa„ March 20. Miss ! Lillian Huffnagle, aged IS years, who lives with her brother Walter and his I family at Valley and Pine streets, with | her left arm shattered by a bullet , from a revolver fired at close range was taken to the Harrisburg Hospital 1 last Sunday for treatment. The members of the household were un willing to talk about the affair and I the shooting was not known until last evening. The story of the girl is that she was sitting in the front room of | the house about 10.30 Sunday night j reading, the other members of the household having retired. Hearing a i noise at the rear of the house as j though some person was trying to j break in, the girl became frightened land securing a 32-caliber revolver, her | own property, started to Investigate. I The weapon was accidentallv dis charged, the bullet ploughing its way through her arm. Walter, the brother, hearing the shot, came downstairs j quickly and. finding the girl uiKon scious. summoned Dr. Smiley, who stopped the flow of blood and "revived the girl. She was then taken to the | hospital. German Casualties For War Fixed at 4,148,163 i ' Tendon.

CENTRAL PREPARING STE ELTON CLAS TECH-CENTRAL Undismayed by the results of thet first Steelton and Tech games, Central High is preparing Jo wind up her baa- i ketball season with two important tri umphs. Steelton will oppose the Blue 1 and Gray quintet on Chestnut Street Hall floor Friday night and a stiff battle Is expected. Captain Hilton and his colleagues intend to stago a strong conie-Jiack, but the down-river j bunch are In tine form. Central llad OfT Season Central has had more or less of an off season, this being partly due to the loss of two of the regulars for-a num ber of games. By winning from Steel ton High Friday and by , defeating I Tech next week Central would tie for I local scholastic supremacy and would j probably play post-season games. An exceptionally large student dele gation from both scjiools is expected Friday night under the direction of : the cheer leaders. .Special cheering practices are being held at Central High. The Blue and Gray line-up will' include Hilton, Martz, Gregory, Frank t and Fields. SHANNON TOY FOR . JOHNNIE KILBANE Champion Allows Califomian to Stay the Limit; Hangs on to Save Self Philadelphia, Pa., March 20. Johnny Kilbane, featherweight cham pion, had no trouble beating Eddie Shannon, of California, in the windup at the Olympia last night. The bout was tame and uninteresting, as it was evident after the secfind round that Shannon was only a play toy for Kil bane, who could handle him as he pleased, and he did not please to be rough with him. The first two rounds were occupied by Kilbane in sizing Shannon up. Johnny fiddled and feinted Eddie in the most bewildering way, the Califomian evidently being afraid to lead or take any chances. \\ hen Kilbane would lead, Shannon would grab him and hold on like grim death. In the third round Kilbane had solved Shannon's style, and he walked over to the visitor, and sending a hard right to Eddie's jaw. he dropped the latter like a log. Shannon took the count, and when he got up, Kilbane went after him. Then Shannon grab bed Kilbane and held him tight. A bit of wrestling followed, in which Kil bane, in trying to shake Shannon loose, threw him to the mat. In the next round Kilbane staggered Shannon to his knees with a right-hander to the side of the head. Then Johnny evidently finding that , Shannon was in the ring to try and stay the six rounds took things easv and he merely feinted and fooled around with Shannon for the balance of the contest. In the latter part of the fourth round, when Shannon found that Kilbane was not trying to hurt I him. he began leading and landed two or three body punches with his right hand, at which Kilbane laughed heart ily, as there was little steam in them. 1 In the tifth and sixth rounds it was 1 about the same thing. Kilbane was | intent on getting an early train out | of ,the city, and lie was paying more I attention to the time he would have . to get through than to anything that | might take place In the ring. He would laugh at Shannon's clumsy at tempts to lead, and then would get In close and locking Eddie up would push his head away with one hand while pretending to hit him with the other. Shannon got in several blows to the body, but lie spent the most of his time in clinching with his oppon ent. In the preliminary bouts. Bobby Reynolds beat Patsey Broderick. A 1 Fox had the better of A 1 Wagner: Billv Mannin beat Jimmy Briggs and Billy Hines had the better x>f Battling Mur ray. over whom he had a big advant age in weight. Kilbane boxed Tim Droney of Lan caster at York several weeks ago. It was announced yesterday that Ilia second game between Central and Tech will be played on the Chestnut Street Auditorium floor on Thursday night, March 29. The contest was to have been played on the Armory iloor, the home cage of the Technical live, but owing to the large attendance the up town floor waitlil not be lurge enough. The Tech luds were rather reluctant to transfer the contest, but at lust gave their consent. The game was originally scheduled to take place on March 30, but the Iloor could not be secured for that night. The work of the Blue and Gray co-icd team has been of especial merit this season, it being one of the best ever witnessed by the Central girls. Practically every game has been won and representative teams have been met from the best lilkli schools and seminaries in the state. This gives the Forster street sirls a logical claim to the state championship, on an equal basis with the strong Hassett co-ed five of this city.
