FUTURE CITY EXPANSION.
Countryside Magazine )

The great city expansion in the end will be horizontal rather than perpen- dicular. We shall have many knots, clustered about factories and other en- terprises, and We shall learn how to distribute the satisfaction in life rath- CT than merely to assemble them. Be- passed our present insistence on so- called economic efficiency. as if it were the sole measure of a civilization, and higher ends shall come to have control. All this will rest on the partitioning of the land.
 It is common assumption that the solution of these problems lies in fa- cilities of transportation, and, to an extent, this is true, but this assump- ton usually rests on the other assump- ton, that the method of the present city vortex is the method of all time. with it's violent rush into the vortex and out of it, consuming vastly of time and energy. preventing home leisure and destroying locality feeling, herding the people like cattle. The question of transportation is indeed a major prob- lem, but it must be met In part by different philosophy of human effort, settling the people in many small or moderate assemblages rather than in a few mighty congestions. It will be easier and cheaper to move the goods than to move the people

THE JITNEY FUTURE.

 But the jitney business, despite it's mushroom growth. will neither kill the street car companies nor will it crip- pie them, for the simple reason that the average jitney bus as at present conducted does not pay.
 The fact of the matter is that tour ing cars are not built to provide the owner with revenue. It Is almost cer- tain that specially built light busses will appear on the streets to compete with the electric cars. They will have far larger seating capacity than the touring-car jitney. Such vehicles. though, will require heavy capital

WINTER SPORT IN KANSAS
(Concordia Kansan.) )


 The old man of the Kansan fell full length on 6 West Fifth street slde- walk at noon today It was one solid sheet of ice underneath the slight cov- ering of snow. The fall did no dam age, but the m Tod of rising from the fall was very ntn4lliating and quite la- borious. It 3 so slippery he could get no toehol1 nd he had to resort to the execution ol d forward movement, sliding about twenty feet on his coat tails across the parking to court the assistance of a small shade tree. Grasping the tree firmly by both hands ne made lurch like contestant in a tug-of- war, but instead of arising to the occasion he landed again, squarely on his back, gazing seriously straight at the sky through the tree top, with it's base firmly clinched in his hands A peglegged man pulling off a stunt of that sort is worth going miles to see, yet we hope but few witnessed this one. Had 1t not been for the timely assistance of a boy who was so kind about it he didn't even laugh, We think that old man would yet be rosslin' with that tree and hopin' the fire depart ment would come to his relief.

THE AMERICAN CALF.
Philadelphia Record. )

Philadelphia Record) Deer hunters are forbidden to kill lawns in most American states. There are laws to protect the baby seal. Came fish under d certain size have their lives insured by official regula- ton.
 How does it happen then that the American butcher goes on slaughter lng the American calf slashing at the ohroat of the nations meat and dairy supply, without audible protest from my quarter?
 The heifer calfs place in our system of table economy is not matter of guess work or theory. The calf that IS eaten as veal never develops into oeef nor can it continue the race of it's valuable kind. It Is contention Of experts that very definite reason for our dwindling beef supply is the unre- stricted slaughter of very young heif- CTS.
 Consider the country's growing pop ulation, side by side with its shrink ing pasture plains, and the conviction IS born that some precise national pol icy of cattle conservation should have oeen inaugurated in the United Statec years ago.

Turks Entrench Themselves Strongly
Along Coast of Gulf Of Saros Ap-

Paris, April 22, 1.15 A. M.-The
Havas Agency has received the follow
ing dispatch from Athens:
The Turks have entrenched them
selves strongly along the coast of the
gulf of Saros from a point near Enos
on the mainland with particularly
formidable works opposite Bulair. This
move of the Turks is an apparent ef-
fort TO resist the proposed new attack
of the land and sea forces of the al.
lies on the Dardanelles.
"The allied fleet yesterday bonn.
barded Turkish encampments near Bu-
lair, the position of which previously
had been indicated by aviators.
''An allied aeroplane dropped bombs

$4,000 STRUCTURE TO
REPLACE ONE BURNED
Four Story Concrete Building Will
Rise On Site Of the Montgomery
Storage House-Ghanges in Man
agement of the Company.

Announcement was made this after
noon from the offices of the Montgom-
cry Storage Company, whose South
Tenth street storage building was de.
stroyed by fire on Sunday, that the
company plans to build massive four
story concrete storage house that will
cost in the neighborhood of $25, 900
on the site of the ruined structure.
The building is to have floor space
that will more than double that of
the frame structure destroyed by fire.
1t is to be of freproof construction.
With this announcement came also
the statement that the management of
the Montgomery Company has changed
so that the business now is under the
control of Frederick L. Morgenthaler,
ii. M. Askins and j. Montgomery
Trace. Joseph Montgomery, for many
years head of the firm, has retired and
the estate of w. X. Alricks and j. B.
Montgomery also have withdrawn from
the business.
Confirmation of the new building
plans came when it was learned that
one of Harrisburg's City Commission
ers has been asked to introduce an
ordinance at next Tuesdays meeting
of the commission under which the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway
Company will be permitted to extend
siding over Tenth street, $50 feet
south of Market, to the proposed ware
house.
The siding is essential from an
economic standpoint, members of the
Montgomery firm said to-day, and upon
the assurance that permission will be
given to construct it depends whether
the building plans will be carried out.
They stated further that the siding
will be used twice day, az a. m. and
at IL O'Clock noon. The ordinance
may be offered at the next ,Sieeting of
the Commissioners.

WANTS GUARD CALLED OUT
TO FIGHT FOREST FIRES

Alarmed at the great destruction of
game as result of many forest fires
that are now raging in Pennsylvania,
the Wild Life League of Pennsylvania
yesterday addressed letter to Cover
nor Brumbaugh asking him to use all
of available resources at the State 3
command for fire prevention and to
stay the progress of the flames and the
further destruction of birds and ami.
mails. At the same time the League
sent letter to the sportsmen's s asso-
Citations of the State asking them to
help. The letter to Governor Brum-
baugh says in part:
In almost all the mountain coun.
ties and particularly along the rights
of way of the various railroads of the
State vast areas are being burned
over, the small fre-fghting force of the
Forestry Department being utterly in
adequate to cope with the emergency
in an effective way.

House Gives GOVERNOR.
FREE HAND IN FIGHTING
Spreading forest fires

Efforts on the part Of the state Of
ficials to check forest fires which are
raging in every section of the state
will be redoubled in response to reso-
luton unanimously passed in the House
this morning at the instance of Mr..
Phillips, of Clearfeld.
The resolution requests Governor
Brumbaugh to call in for consultation
the heads of the Department of For
estry, the State Fire Marshal, the State
Police and the Adjutant General with
a view of devising ways and means of
extinguishing the fires.
The Governor is given free hand
in the matter of expending money for
this purpose. The preamble of the reso-
luton sets forth that forest fires are
causing great damage to the parched
woodland of the state and that the
present methods of the state have prov
en- inadequate to extinguish the fires.
"Forest fires prevail in every county
in the State, said Deputy Forestry
Commissioner Williams to-day, "but

the dying out of the high wind that
was instrumental in spreading the
flames we will soon have the flames
now under control. The dry condition
of the woods, with the terrific high
winds, created conditions that all the
force engaged in fighting fires could
not combat. Every man in the state
who was concerned in fighting forestry
fires was on duty, and there was some
excellent work done, but so fierce was
the wind that it was almost impossible
to repel the advance of the fires. We
have as yet no estimate of the damage
done. Last night was damp and the
wind has gone down, and we now be-
lieve we have the fires almost under
control. u
Secretary Kalbfus, of the State Game
Commission, says that the destruction
of forests was very widespread, and the
people seemed powerless to stem the
onrush of the flames. The grouse and
turkeys are nesting now and hundreds
of the birds were destroyed. In Gin
ton county especially the destruction of
game birds has been great.

Tragic Story Of Her Life

Paris, April 22.-Adele Hugo.
youngest daughter Of the late Victor
Hugo, died yesterday at her residence
in Suresnes, suburb of this city, at
the age of S5 years.
The sad and tragic story Of Adele
Hugo many years ago aroused the SYM
pathy of the entire world. As q girl
she was kidnapped at Guernsey by an
English officer. All Europe was search
ed for her by her parents, but they OBJ
tanned no trace of her whereabouts.
Several months later a girl found
wandering alone in the streets Of New
York, apparently demented, declared
"I am the daughter of Victor Hugo"
This was the only statement she ever
made.
She was sent back to France to her
parents, but her lips remained sealed
until the end and the tragic story of
her life never was revealed. She failed
to entirely recover her reason and after
the death of her father, lived solitary
existence in her villa, morose and sell
dom speaking. When she did consent TO
converse it never was of the past.

Carlisle, Pa, April 22.-The fierce
forest fires in the South mountains,
Cumberland county, which during the
last two days have destroyed 10000
acres of State forest reserve and at
least five thousand acres of private
property, and which yesterday passed
over the little village of Laurel, leav-
ing behind the smoking ruins of sum
mer cottages, are to-day advancing in
many different directions.
No less than three hundred men are
desperately fighting the flames in their
efforts to protect not only the timber
land in tn "i f which the fire
is advancing, 4 - I'VE entire towns
which are seriol Sly menaced.
Flames on the edge of Hunters Run
this morning we're fought for many
hours by residents, but "a change of
the wind came at time when the dan
ser was greatest and saved the town
from partial if not entire destruction.
At Mount Holly the flames reached
the base of the mountain last night and
threatened frame houses on Hill street.
THESE houses were soaked with water
and the flames were prevented from
spreading into the town and the park.
The Holly Inn was for time in great
danger.
Tnla rIr
Flames are this afternoon approach
ing the Philadelphia clay works at To-
land and the Sandusky cement works
about mile from there. The employees
of both these places have left their
work and have, throughout the day,
been engaged in fighting the fires in
efforts to save the buildings of the two
concerns.
The flames IRE spreading rapidly
north of Hunter 5 Run, and the hun
dreds of men who are opposing them
seem to be checking them but slightly.
The employees of the clay works and
the cement works number a hundred
and fifty men in all. They are assisted
in the fre-ightin by large force of
men working under the supervision of
deputies of the State FIRE marshal.
The flames this afternoon reached
the j. H. Gardner farm, near Toland,
and are spreading toward the estate of
David Cameron, of Harrisburg. Gale
donia Park also is in the path of, the
fires. There are reports of big fire
Centerville.
Loss Now Totals $15O,OOO
The fire which Tuesday night swept
over Laurel, doing damage to the
amount of $4,000, has been advanc-
ing northeast. That is the general di-
rection, but sparks have been the
means of spreading the flames to all
sides. A total of $4,000 acres of tim
ber land has thus far been devastated,
bringing the loss to-day to $150,0OO.
The loss to the United Ice and Coal
Company of Harrisburg, whose ice
house at Laurel was burned to the
ground, is estimated at $4,000. Sew
enteen thousand tons of ice had been
stored in the building Much of it
melted, but large pillar of ice re-
mains on the site of the structure.
