"Greateet thing in the world and
how to get it" into the ferns-and

My poor mother would have
had an awful time if she hadn't
married-fancy living with Uncle
Dick an your life and being
maiden sister. But it's different
with me.
If I meet just the right man,
I'll marry -maybe-but I'll think
awhile before I do it. I'm going
to get a rather good salary in my
line of work. I can do a lot Of
good in the world, and oh. what a
lot Of fun I'm going to have.
I'll have to be awfully in love with

 4 California Forest Fire

Mrs. Helen Partridge chspin, of Mill Valley, Cal, writes her Eastern relatives of fearful forest fire in her vicinity in July, the vegetation about Nit. Tamalpais having caught and threatening their village with destruc- tion. Mrs. (. writes:
 "We had a trying experience, but are thankful 10 say we did not suffer any discomfort except the inconveni- ence of moving out Of our house and into it again and our house was quite unharmed though we had very close call. The fire stopped within quarter Of a mile of us. It was a terrific thing. Six thousand acres were burn- ed over. Every inch Of our beautiful mountain is bare and bleak from the base to summit. Ne never ex peeted 10 save the town, as the thing seemed beyond all human control, and only A turn in the wind spared us.
 eWe cannot be grateful enough to the Army Boys. We see much of the Regulars here and are apt to think them a rather hard lot, but in real danger they are splendid. l watched the whole fight in the mountain with field glasses. There were two thous- and soldiers altogether, trying to make B stand in front of those awful flames that were sweeping down upon us-a line of fire tive miles wide. There was no water protection and the only things to be done were digging trenches, cutting wide roads through the brush, and back k-firing; armed with axes and blankets, they fought like demons. New troops kept com ing from the Army Posts across the hours by fresh men. those who left be- ing completely exhausted, and many were rushed 10 the Emergency Hospi- tai with dreadful cnts and burns and snake-bites. All the men in Mill Val ley worked day and night, and the la- dies did all they could serving coffee and sandwiches to the thousands of soldiers and iiremen. On Wednesday we were ordered out Of the houses, but had already left with the children. We got away very comfortably before the panic began and was thankful to escape the dreadful excitement. Ieer- tainly never expected to see our little home again and we were very happy to come back to it.

Camp Eastiord

The camp boys were defeated in a second game with Eastford at the home grounds on Wednesday after noon. The game was lost in the first thfee innings in which Eafttord scored l5 runs. Tbsyer Marvin pitched an excellent game for the Camp and had his support noi been 50 ragged in the hfst part Of the game II would have been an easy victory for the Camp. who scored 12 runs in the last six iu- nings against for the Eastford team. The work Of Latham behind the bal WAS noIeeably good, especially 50 as Il was not his regular position. Spec ial feature Of the game was a one ham, ded catch Of a hot liner over second by Markell, saving two runs and making third out.

It may be that their all.eollege team may not ike to play away from home, or it may be that automobiles cost more from Pom fret to Eastford than from Eastford 10 Pomfret, but at any rate they cannot seem to be induced to meet the boys on their home grounds.
 Late Friday night Eastford consent ed to fill in the gap. The boys were !. fa- aff defeats at the hands Of the village team they were able 10 trim them by score Of E to , in a six inning game. The game was started late and had to be called on account Of darkness in the 6th inning. The boys were just get ting their "speed1 making 6 runs in the last inning and would have proba- bly piled up big score. Repplier on first played a faultless game for the camp, while Ferguson who replaced k. Marvin on third, who was obliged to drop out in the third inning on ac- count of sprained knee, showed up very well. The lineup WAS as usual for the camp except that L.LMarvin played behind the bat.
 The boys are hard at work on the annual minstrel show, which will be held.in the club house on Saturday evening, August 30. This will be the last event of the season as most of the boys start home september 2
 The whole camp started on the 'eWolf Den hike" Thursday. They will be away from camp two days sleeping in the open and cooking their own meals.
 Dr. and Mrs. Wiley of Birmingham, England, who spent the weekend at Camp were loud in their praises of this form of American life, and rank the stop at the Camp as one of their most pleasant experiences of the summer in the States.
