EASTER HOLIDAYS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL"
NEWARK. Del, April 4.-The Del
aware College baseball and track
candidates will have their final prac-
tice this afternoon until after the
Easter holidays, as the college will
be closed from Thursday afternoon
until Tuesday of next week.
For the first time this season the
college varsity and scrubs baseball
teams played a game yesterday af-
ternoon and the latter won by the
score of 5 to 0. The indications are
that the blue and gold will be
stronger this season than for several
years, as fortunately Coach McAvoy
has been able to plug up the holes
left by graduation from the fresh
man class. The candidates are in
fairly good shape.
In the game yesterday regular
pitchers were not used. as Coach Nc
AvOy did not want to take the chance
of the twirlers getting sore arms this
early in the season, but otherwise
the lineup of the varsity, it is
thought. was about what il will be
on the opening day. The varsity line
up was as follows: Plerson, catcher
Ferguson, pitcher; Stewart, first
base; ID. Horsey, second base; FL

stop; H Horsey, left field; Madden
centre field and Selby. right field
Both Madden and Selby. new men

follows: Ritz, catcher w. O'Daniel

THE PEOPLES FORUM
Fire Department Efficiency

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
| saw piece in your paper on
November IA to the effect that Fire
Commissioner Gross intends to send
the fire apparatus drivers to school
to learn how to take care of their
apparatus. Half of these. men are
to go at one time and the other half
the next time.
Therefore when one half Of these
men are absent from the Engine
Houses the efficiency of the fire de-
partment is cut fifty per cent as
only half of the apparatus then re-
spends to an alarm of fire.
The way this is generally worked
by company with two pieces of ap-
paratus is that the driver who is on
duty takes the chemical truck to the
fire and if the engine is needed he
then returns to the house and takes
the engine; but in this way the en-
gine is delayed about twenty or
twenty-five minutes in getting to the
fire. A building can burn down in
that time.
The Importance of having. a fire
engine respond Immediately to an
alarm of fire is shown by the fire
at Number One rolling mill of the
Central Iron & Steel Company on
August 10, 1916.
No. l, 6 and Q engines responded to
box II which was sent in for this
fire.
Engines 1 and were out of SER
vice and one of engine mines horses
was sick.
When the men arrived that had
only ten pounds water pressure and
ould do nothing until the engines
arrived. Number nine borrowed a
horse and number three engine was
called. After they arrived the fire
was soon put out but not till after
| it had done serious damage which
could have been prevented had an
engine responded Immediately when
the alarm was sent in.
I am not writing this to knock on
Chief Kinder as the chief is one
of the best chiefs that Harrisburg
ever had. The chief not only knows
how to fight fire but also knows how
to handle volunteer forces which
many men do not know.
All of us like him and ninety pei
cent of us are hoping that ,he will
| be retained in office by the new
council.

Although Thanksgiving is only a
few days off hardly a "gobble" is
heard from the great American bird,
and the chances are that few of us
will hear any. A buying agent has
just canvassed the Eehigh and Cum
berland valleys and some of the far
mers asked him what he meant by
turkey. The bird is almost extin-
guished. This gentleman predicts
that turkey, live weight, will sell for
as much as 40 cents a pound, the
price of a dressed bird last year, and
the supply at that will be meager.

Our turkey gobbled his last COB and

MAYOR BOWMAN AND OTHERS

TN his civic activities covering n
period of several years, Mayor
j. William Bowman has never
shown greater. earnestness and en-
thusiasm than during the campaign
just closing in behalf of the War
Work of the Y. NJ. C. A. and the
Y. w. c. A. AS chairman of the city
committee he has again demon
strated his ability as an organizer
and the results have established once
more the unselfish character of his
public service and the high ideals
which animate him in all the work
in which he has so cheerfully en-
gagged for the betterment of the
community. Mayor Bowman is the
type of citiZenry to whom we must
look for the future development of
, Harrisburg and his course is an in
spiraton for the other young men
% who are proud of their city and who
want to help in every proper way.
AS the Telegraph has frequently
indicated, Harrisburg is fortunate in
the number and character of the
men who are constantly doing all
within their power to advance the
interests of the community as n
whole, and Mayor Bowman ard
those like him are deserving of all
public honor.
Edward Bailey, chairman of the
county committee, who has labored
quietly but effectively; the many
good women who co-operated in a
great campaign, the Jealous and in
dustrious men of the press, without
whose efforts the drive for funds
would not have been so successful,
and the forces of the two local in
stitutions directly concerned in the
canvass, all merit the congratula-
tions which have been bestowed.
