captain Jack, with his little band of
Modoc Indians, made a stand in the
lava beds of northern California,

United States troops to dislodge
them. General Jefferson Davis wis
in immediate command. For two
years Captain Jack and his unruly
Savages were a thorn in the side of
Uncle Sam. In the interim General
Candy was murdered by the Indians.
The renegade chief was finally cap

penalty of his treachery upon the

HEY, SWIMMERS,
: LOOK THIS OVER!
Life Saving Expert Tells
What to Avoid in Sum-
mer Bathing

Now that the Susquehanna has
dropped to normal depth and the
hot days have arrived, canoeing will
become popular and with it SWIM
ming The number of deaths from
drowning last year scared many per-
sons off this season. but it is estab-
lished that all those drownings were
due to recklessness. The Susque-
hanna is tricky stream. due partly
TO the constant dredging, and the
depth is constantly changing. At
that, majority of tragedies in the
water occur from panic, and the
person who is prepared to know how
TO act in an accident has a great ad-
vantage.
Some mighty valuable hints for
bathers has just been set down by
Harry C. Stevens, the noted life-sav-
ing expert. They are being dissent
mated by the government which
hopes to decrease the total number
OF victims recorded last summer, s.
600. Says Stevens:
Don't bathe shortly after dinner;
walk at least TWO hourS.
Don't sit in boat or stand about
undreSsed after being in the water.
Don't swim far after q hard days
work, or overeXertion after other
forms OF exercise.
Don't Bathe Alone
Don't battle in unfrequented or
secluded parts.
Don't bathe alone if subject to
giddlneSs or fsintneSs.
Don't dive into the water without
first ascertaining the depth.
Don't take fright if you fall into
the water with your clothes on; re-
member, clothes float, and assist you
10 float. Make for the shore. SWIM
ming with the tide or stream.
Don't swim too far out in the sea
or lake unattended by a boat or an
expert swimmer.
Don't take fright II seized with
cramps: keep cool: turn on the back
and endeavor 10 rub the place af-
fected. If the leg is drawn up with
pain, swim slowly with the arms
only. All swimmers should practice
this.
Don't swim without some recog-
nized signal 10 give your fellow
swimmers, il subject TO cramps. such
as lifting one arm or shouting for

water as soon as possible.
Swim Along Shore
Don't dive out of or try 10 get into
q boat from the side; dive from the
stern and get in from the stern. but
only then from boat with a broad
keel.
= Don't swim away from the shore,
always a'0SS the shore.
DCr't swim without company If
YOU have q weak heart and only then
after consulting a doctor.
Don't swim against the stream il
you come across weeds.
Don't swim without protecting
your ears if subject to ear trouble.
Don't go beyond the depth of your
hips IL you can't swim.
Don't plunge or struggle when you
find yourself in deep water.
Don't throw the hands or arms
out of the water. 1
Tread water by keeping the legs
moving up and down, as in walking
upstairs. Hold an oar or a canoe
paddle, plank or branch OF a tree in
the middle when thrown TO you; an
oar or a paddle with the blade fiat
on the water will hold you up if You
don't struggle. Take in long breaths
through the mouth and exhale slow
y through the nostrils; this makes
the body more buoyant and keeps
you warm.
If you will follow out these direc-
ticns when in distress in the water
YOU will help yourself and others
coming TO your assistance.

COUNTY PLANS
TO STRENGTHEN
MANY BRIDGES
Much of $SS,0O0 Additional
Revenue to Go Towards
New Structure

Bids for the new concrete bridge
to be constructed across the Swatara
creek, just west of Hummelstown,
will be opened by the county COM
missioners August 2. 1t is estimated
the cost of the new bridge will be at
least $4,000. If the bids are not too
high and government approval of the
work is approved the construction
may be started this year.
Bids for painting three iron
bridges, two over Swatara creek at
Middletown and one over Powels
creek at Inglenook will be received
in few weeks. Five wooden
bridges in East and West Hanover
townships, crossing Manada creek.
and two in East Hanover across Bow
creek, will be painted also.
Bridge Work Costly
Much of the $SS,000 which will be
received this year because of the tax
increase from to mills, made
early in 1918, will be used for bridge
and road work. The largest amount
will be needed to build the large
bridge at Hummelstown. In case this
is not started in 1918, the present
structure will be repaired and
strengthened, as no vehicles weigh
ing more than six tons can use it
now. The remaining money will then
be used for permanent road improve
ment work, one of the county com
missioners announcing that plans
were being considered to cooperate
with townships in improving roads
leading to the state highways to
Pottsville and to Reading.
The commissioners will also pay
one-fourth of the cost of construct
ing a highway from Lyonsville to
Granville. So far this year more
than $4,000 has been spent on re-
Hummelstown and Campbellstown,
known as the Horseshoe pike.
Small Bridges Bad
Bids for the new one-arch con-
crete bridge in Fishing Creek Valley
will be received soon, and part of
the funds received from the addi-
tional taxation will be used to pay
for this improvement.
The commissioners explained also
that many other small bridges are
being repaired because of the heavy
traffic over them and that the cost
of planks for the flooring has in
creased from $27 thousand board
feet to $40 or more thousand, while
spikes which are used have increased
400 per cent. in price.
County officials said no definite
road building plans will be made
until it is definitely decided wheth-
er the new bridge at Hummelstown
will be constructed this year. Should
this improvement be delayed because
of eXorbitant war prices of mat
erials the officials said arrangements
will be started at once to put a
number of the county roads in bet
ter condition so that during the
winter months traffic to the leading
arteries to the city will not be in
terfered with.

AROUND THE BASES

Germany alone. of all nations, has
not begun to play baseball Ish IA
Bloble. Even Jerusalem has a league
now, started by American Jews in
the British Army and all they need
bow, according to letters received re-
Gently for perfect day, is enough
pats, balls, gloves and masks. Be-
tore this war is over the game will
go round the globe.
Speaking of baseball in Palestine
recalls what the athletic evangelist
declared of our national pastime,
namely that it was familiar in Bible
times. Didn't the prodigal son make
home run? Didn't Cain smite the
hrst base hit? Didn't somebody first
see Rebecca when she was walking
with pitcher to the well?"
The recent appointment of a new
football advisory committee by the
board of control at Princeton Uni
Versity would indicate that the big
college is preparing to make next
fall a banner season in the pigskin
game.
What's the best in eld in the Amer
lean League. If you listen to the
New York Yankee fans you needn't
so any further for the answer. They
maintain that in Pipp. Pratt, Peck
inpaugh and Baker they have the
best inner force in the Ban Johnson
circuit, yea. in the major leagues. 1t
really is a formidable crew and is
playing together with smoothness
and polish that has helped Miller
Huggins clan considerably.
Pipp is playing about the same
grade of ball that he did in Detroit,
but Baker is enjoying one of his
really big years at third. So all in
all the Yankee quartet stacks up as
one of the best, if not the best, in
the big tops.
The valor and daring of many
gridiron stars now fighting for the
L. S. in France shows the value of
the sport as training for soldiers, and
it would have been folly to have dis
continued or reduced the sport in
any way. It's a good bet the people
will patronize all the games next
fall. because OF their patriotism as
well as their love for the gridiron
sport.

Files SANDER Suit
Asking SIS, 900 Damages

Counsel for Mestody Jordanoff. of
Steelton. to-day filed a suit at the
prothonotary's office asking $4,000
damages for alleged slanderous state-
ments by Alta Christie Abrasion.
Jordanoff in his statement of claim
declares he was accused by the de-
fendant of having murdered her
father when they were living in Bull
garia. He alleges he is now under
suspicion in the neighborhood that
he is innocent of the charge but that
despite these facts some of the
neighbors will not speak to him now.
