DELAWARE PROTECTS
ITS FORESTS FROM FIRE
Fire Companies Are Aiding In Fight
To Conserve Woods

The cooperation of the various
fire companies throughout the State
has been of great assistance in keep
ing down the loss in woodland fires,
according to the State Forestry Com
mission. Late in the winter, all of
the fire companies were requested
by the Forestry Commission to rem
der assistance and promptly, when
ever a woods was discovered on fire.
AS a result of this, thousands Of
dollars have been saved, as already
more than so fires have occurred in
patches of woods throughout the
State. In some instances, half a
dozen fire companies have responded
to appeals for aid and in more than
one instance, their promptness has
resulted in preventing what might
have been serious loss in woodland.
The fire companies have been re-
quested to forward to the Office of
the State Forestry Commission in
the Annex to the State House at
Dover, details of the various forest
fires. This data will be assembled
and copies of it forwarded to Wash
ington as well as the record being
kept by the Commission. Tt is the
first time that any definite effort like
this to preserve data has been made.
The Forestry Commission is busy
getting the nursery near Milford
In time it is believed that
practically all of the trees to be Of
fered owners Of woodland will be
raised at this State nursery. Every
precaution will be taken, it is stated,
to raise only the best and healthiest
varieties of trees that are suited to
this climate.

MAIL FOR MILFORD
DAMAGED BY TRAIN
Many Pieces OF Mail MutiIated
When Pouch Is Run Over

A number of Milford residents
wondered at the soiled and torn
pieces of mail which they received
last Monday, but upon inquiry they
learned that others had Jared even
worse, some not even receiving ex-
pected letters of great Importance.
The explanation given at the Post
office made everything clear, how
ever, and some of the mail has been
successfully pieced together, and
mail which was lost may soon be
retrieved.
A mail pouch which is sent each
Sunday evening from the Philadel-
phia terminal to Milford and kept
by the railroad officials here till
Monday morning, when a messenger
takes it to our postOffice, fell off the
train at Farnhurst en- route last
Sunday. When the postoffice Off
cials here saw there was a pouch
missing, they reported the loss at
once to the Wilmington postmas-
ter who, together with the postof-
flee inspector there, made an inves-
tigatiOn. The lost pouch was dis
covered at Farnhurst, very much
mutilated from being run over by
the train and was sent on to Mil
ford. Some of the addresses were
perfectly legible and some mail in
tact, but other letters required much
piecing together to be read and kept
the postoffice officials here busy.
Word has since been eceived here
from a man at Farnhurst who
claims to have found 80 letters on
the railroad tracks, which were per-
haps carried some distance away
by the wind. The Milford officials
have written him to take the mail
to the inspector at the Wilmington
postoffice, who will deliver all the
worthwhile pieces to Milford.

PLAYING MANAGERS USUALLY FAIL
 HARRIS EXCEPTION, SAYS GRIFFITH

TAMPA, Fla. Feb. 21---Playine managers in the major leagues have proved failures in most cas9s, in the opinion of Clark Griffith, president of the Wash. ington Senators. He makes all exception of Bucky Harris play. er-pilot of his own club.
 Harris is one Of the best man. agers in the majors and as a sec, ond basemanl he has not a peer in the American League" Grif. fifth says. ''I think he is in for Ia great year. He has trained hard during the winter and wouldn't be surprised if he smashed a few records during the coming season"
 Harris playing, however, has slumped during the last iHo years because of the trials and tribala. tions of running the club, Grif- fifth says, at the same time de claring he has no idea of remoy- ing Bneky as pilot.
 Back in 1924, when Harris guia- ed the Senators to the champion ship. the idea of having playing managers regained popularity, hut today Bueky is virtually the only combination pilot remaining in the majors.
 Rogers Hornsby and George Sisler, of the Cardinals and Browns. lost out after only q year as managers in St Louis. Dave Bancroft did not do so well with the Boston Braves and is now a private with Brooklyn, while Ray Schalk virtually has given up his work behind the plate for the Chicago White Sox, and Roger Peckinpaugh, new pilot of the Indians, probably will do little playing. Iris Speaker, Eddie Collins, and " Cobb also have passed from the picture as play ing managers.
