DODGERS UNEASY
PhiIlies Are Only One Game
Behind Brooklyn Now.
Final Series May Be Required
to Determine Winners.

+ New York, Sept 26 Another
wrath Joined hands with the stalk
ghost of the Federal League at Eb-
bets Field today and Joined the dance
thru which Joe Tinker hopes to jostle
the Dodgers away from a pennant
and worlds series honorS and cash.
Charles H Ebbets himself discov-
cred this one. His mind turned back
to 1908 when the Phillies wrecked
grand ,pennant hopes, to the advan-
full along with other members of the
Chicago machine, SO if he can beat
the Dodgers now he'll be repaying an
honest debt to the Phillies, as the
Dodger president sees it.
Ghosts No Joke.
But the ghost dance on Ebbets field
has gotten to the point where it is
no joke for the Dodgers. They must
face the Cubs again today with their
lead over the Phillies cut to a bare
game. Another defeat for the Dodg-
ers and a victory for the Phillies will
put the Pat Morans in first place.
Their edge will be a single point, but
then will come the struggle of the
year when the two teams meet for
three games series. Thursday, Friday
and Saturday. Following this the
Dodgers have to take on the Giants
stand for years. The Phillies will
have the faltering Braves during the
same period
This means that no matter what
happens in Brooklyn during the latter
part of this week, the championship
may finally be decided in the Giant
Dodger games.
Then will come a test of sentiment
with decided reverse English to that
now being exhibited on Ebbets Field
There is no one John McGraw would
rather see win the title than Robin
son, the Dodger leader But the
Giants will be in a position to wreck
the last Dodger hopes. A continuance
of the present brand of ball being
dished up by the Giants and a turn
of victories for the Pills will put the
final cruSher on the Dodgers

Why Drunkards Freeze SO Easily

While it is true that a drunken man
can undergo without serious injury
many things which would cause death
II re were in his sober senses, this
does not apply to his ability to with
stand severe cold
The reason for this, science has
lately found out, is that the normal re-
action OF cold-increased production
OF heat and construction of the blood
vessels of the SKINS partly paralyz-
ed by large doses of alcohol. Even a
small quantity of alcohol will some
times cause a fall of or even 10
degrees in a mans internal temper
ature o
AS everybody knows, people who
are addicted to the use of alcohol drink
IN the summer to keep them cool and
In the winter to keep them warm.
Alcohol really causes a fall in the
body's temperature and does not, as
Is popularity supposed, increase the
bOdy's heat. Tt is true that after
taking a drink or two there is usually
feeling of increased warmth, but this
Ii only a delusion, due to the greater
vascularity Of the skin and the activ-
lty OF the sweat glands.
Alcohol appears to act in two ways
On the bodys temperature. In ordi-
nary doses it has little or no effect
upon the production of heat in the
tissues, but increases the loss of heat
Dy causing the pores to dilate, stimu-
!!atlng the sweat glands and quicken
ing the circulation. And, as has al
ready been stated in large doses it
paral Yves the normal reaction to cold.
1t is plain that alcohol is of no real
service to man in withstanding either
3lsh or low temperature. Not only
does the drunkard freeze to death
more quickly, but his regulation Of
temperature becomes SO disordered

Cooks Revenge.

In the peaceful quietude of a sum-
mer evening, a red-faced cook put
her head out of the window of a sub
urban house and shouted: Thieves
Police!" at the top of her lungs.
Instantly all was confusion. The
ne1ghbors left their houses, and a
perspiring policeman came reluctant
ly up the steps of an area opposite
and commenced a search for the mar
auders.
But not soul could he find. Every
thing in the house was in apple-pie
order, and, after looking about for
some time, he left in disgust.
Martha, why in the world did you
give that false alarm" her mistress
asked her afterwards.
To have my revenge on the police
man, ma'am," Martha candidly con-
fessed. The brute's thrown me over
Tor the cook across the way, and he
was just sitting down to supper there

ON GUARD AGAINST FIRES
STATE FOREST FIRE PROTECTIVE FORCE AT HEIGHT OF AUTUMN FIRE
PREVENTION SEASON.

lessness still prevalent in many Sec
lions, yet when a fire occurs the most
important thing is to extinguish it
Immediately, with the least damage
and expense. And that is what the
Fire Protection System aims to do. 1t
also exercises a strong deterrent in
huence in prevention by closely fol-
lowing up the Investigating fires and
holding those who start them respon-
sible under the forest law, whenever
sufficient evidence of guilt can be
found.
Soon after the fire season began E.
R. Ford, Assistant Forester, has been
constantly in the field, for most of the
time in Western Maryland, investi-
eating fires and comforting with the
Forest Wardens in helping them to
improve local conditions and thereby
increase the efficiency of the system
as a whole. New Wardens and Pa
trolmen have been commissioned
wherever special fire hazard war
ranted, and the entire System is being
extended and it's efficiency increased
Mr.. Ford, who has recently taken up
this branch of the work, reports that
he finds the Forest Wardens thor
oughly interested in the work, highly
respected in their communities, and
doing public service at a nominal
cost, since they receive no salary but
are paid for services rendered. These
services are being more and more
appreciated as the good results of the
work become apparent.
An acquaintance with the local For
est Wardens will prove profitable in
the conservation and protection of
the woodlands of the State. They
constitute an asset worth the best that
we can give them.

period be over.
though there have been many fires
- 1916 and there will likely be many
more the amount of damage has been
mich less than in former years. This
ie attributable, according to the
States Board of Forestry, to at least
tro causes: Owners of woodland are
more and more beginning to realize
their productive value, and when fires
n,cur they are not neglected; and a
snpciaI appropriation by the last Leg
islarure has made it possible to bring
about a closer, better organization of
Marvland's Forest Protective System.
The present system consists of the
state Forester at Baltimore, who
keeps in touch with all the Wardens
and to whom all reports are made;
and the field force of 14S State Forest
Eardens, IS of whom are on special
dutv as Federal Patrolmen under a
cooperative arrangement with the U.
s. Forest Service, which pays their
salaries on a per diem basis, and 3
Lookout Watchmen stationed at Fire
Observation towers.
The remaining Forest Wardens are
especially authorized and delegated
to Investigate and extinguish any
fires in their respective localities and
to employ all necessary means at the
expense of the State and County to
bring fires speedily under control.
Such a force, however efficient, cannot
always prevent fires, with the care
