 Dear MT Connors:
 The National Committee for the Birthday Ball for the President has reached the happy moment when it can be the medium for expressing to the local General Chairmen and their helpers the thanks due them for making the 1897 Birthday Ball the great success it has been throughout the country.

CITY LAURELS HANG ON HOOP
 TILT TONIGHT
Two Titles Will Likely De- IT,, pend on Outcome l.,
 .o. Battles

Championship battle. probably in effect, though not in name, is to- nights crucial mix between the Douglas Eagles, rulers of the first half of the City League hoop sea- son, and the Juneau Bremen, who have been burning up the court during the second half so far. Tonights critical tussle will most likely settle the championship of the second half, if not of the sea- son, as both competing squads ap- pear to have wide margins on the other league teams.
 Granting that they go through the remainder of their schedule without slip-up, the Islanders can cinch the league crown for the year by coming cut on top in tonight's battle. On the other hand, to- nights game appears to be all that stands in the way of the Firemens capturing the nod for the second half and sending the season into a lplayoff to decide whose brow shall bear the diadem.
 Matching the two teams man for man, what edge there may be in tonight's tilt seems to lie in the fact that the Bremen have been geared to bit higher speed than the Islanders of late, but Douglas can easily iron out that disadvant- age, and, in fact, showed during lthe first half that it can ascend to real heights when under pressure it is the guess of most observers that the Smoke Eaters can do the same.
 But, whatever the result, with the two teams battling for top stakes, tonight's joust cannot but develop into the merriest of dog fights. And, as an added attrac- tion, there will be resumption of the long standing feud between the idol of the Island, Claude Erskine and the spark-plug of the Fire Chasers, Doc Hollmann.
 Another championship battle is on for tonight, the game proceeding the Douglas Fireman mix, when the Krause Concreters and the H. s Graves Clothing Men meet to fight it out for the unchallenged pos session of the Leagues basement Since shipping the backbone of its team southward, Graves has slipped from the lofty heights it reached in that clash that climaxed the first half and broke the heart of the DeMolay quintet; but the Graves men still pack plenty of poke, il they can break down the Concretel defense. And, in the defense seems to lie the Krause five's power--il it remains unshattered the Con. creters will be hard to beat.
 The Krause and Graves teams are scheduled to take over tht court at the High School tonight al 7:3O o'clock, and will be followed an hour later by the peak eontes' between the leaders.

Dry Woodlands In
 State Fire Menace
Extreme Caution Urged By Water Utilities
 Also Called Upon to Exercise Care

With the outdoor season at hand, Connecticut water utilities today urged picknickerS, hikers and others who venture into the woods, as well as motorists, to avoid two dangers, first, that of accidentally setting forest fires, and, second, that of drinking water from roadside springs or wells which are not defi- nitely marked as safe by health authorities.
 There exists this year a more serious danger than usual of setting forest fires at this season, because of the lack of snow last winter, it was pointed out. Since there was no blanket of snow covering water shed timber lands and the floors of other forests, the woods are much drier than normally. Heavy rains only offset the danger temporarily, since the spring winds dry out the woodlands quickly after a down. pour. Normally there is greater danger of forest fires in the fall after hot weather has caused dry ness, but this year the possibility of fire outbreaks appears destined to spread over many months.
 Dry Woodlands
 With the woodlands in such a dry condition, a small fire which has not been thoroughly extinguished or a carelessly discarded cigaret end may start conflagration that will de- stroy acre upon acre of timber. Trees growing upon watersheds are not planted there for decorative pur- poses, but as an investment in tim Der upon land which because of sanitary reasons can be devoted to no other purposes. Their destruc- tion means a severe financial loss, as does the loss of growing timber elsewhere Motorists are urged by the utilities to avoid throwing un- extinguished cigarette ends into woodlands bordering the highways, and others are asked to be careful with cigarets while in the woods.
 Connecticut people. who are &C., customed to pure water served to them frcm the public supply sys- tenn are apt to take the purity of all water for granted, it was stated, but it is unsafe to risk drinking water from any stream or from
