The twenty-three steel fire tow- *" ers. located at vantage points throughout wooded sections of In- ■' diaua are serving as "lookout" points for thousands of autumn ■ tfiltfi 8 ' 8 in addition to their regular Sanction of aiding in the detection ot forest fires. Rising eighty to one hundred feet above the ground, the towers make it possible to obtain a sweeping view ot the landscape in all directions and more thoroughly enjoy the brilliantly colored foliage. . > -Visitors are welcomed at the tow- ‘ ’ ers at all times when an attendant '7, is on duty, and will enjoy learn- — ing how the observer detects and — locates fires over a radius of ten *■ to twelve miles. The series of towers forms an important unit in the forest fire «• prevention campaign waged by the Department of Conservation. Whenever the observer sees a column of smoke at a point where he knows there is no house, the information is immediately telephoned to the fire warden in that area and the fire-fighting crew goes into action.

proving increasingly effective hi checking fires before substantial losses to timber are sustained. Motorists traveling through the heavily wooded sections of south- ; ern Indiana and seeing fires from along the highways can cooperate in the prevention program by notifying the nearest telephone exchange. Telephone operators throughout that section of the state are cooperating with the Department of Conservation by relaying warning of forest fires to the fire wardens. Dozens of fires have been reported during the past two weeks, many of them resulting from burning brush and other debris by farmers and landowners. Some of the fires have been put out with little damage while others have spread over large areas before they were brought under control. Conservation officials have requested persons living in wooded sections not to burn brush while , leaves and other vegetation is so dry and the menace of forest fire is so great.

SYNOPSIS Os the three pretty Wickham girls, Margaret, the eldest, is the prettiest It is she who supplies the boy friends for the younger girls, Natalie and Barbara, and for many of her friends. With most of the eligible young men of the community to choose from, Margaret picks Kenneth Haieigh, penniless bit popular and handsome young football hero. Her best friend, Sue Decker, secretly cares for Kenneth, too. CHAPTER 111 For three girls in a motherless household the young Wickhams got along surprisingly well. They fought occasionally, of course, but they were clannish in their resentment of outside criticism, intensely loyal. They actually enjoyed each other's company, and everyone they knew enjoyed theirs, and the Wickham house. It had a perpetual "party" air. There were great bowls of garden flowers all ovet the house, tall candles in the candelabra, and except on the warmest evenings, a fire crackling in the fireplace at one end of the large, old-fashioned living room, for Alex Wickham was always chilly. "Used to a hot climate . . . India, you know,” he'd explain, with his half apologetic, wholly charming smile. "Can't get used to the cold California summers." - And having made his little speech he’d return to his book and his pipe, and intrude no more on the young people's company. The perfect story-book father. And Aunt Bet, his sister, who had come to keep house for him and the girls when their mother died years ago, was the perfect hostess. With her thin old neck ornamented with a black valvet ribbon on which she wore a small diamond slide, her beautiful white hair faultlessly dressed, her trailing tea gowns impressive, she conscientiously greeted every boy and girl who dropped in to see the girls, then as conscientiously disappeared. There was no one to object to the rugs being rolled back for dancing, no one to say, “Remember, this is only Thursday, and you’ve got to get your studying done." No one to frown upon sticky or greasy messes being concocted in the kitchen at any hour of the day or night. Nothing to mar the perfect hospitality of the three young Wickhams. The Wickham girls just didn't know what it meant to lack boy friends. They had literally more beaux than they knew what to do with. They passed them down, from Margaret to Natalie, to Barbara, and on to the host of admiring, envious, polite, attractive girl friends who knew that come what might, no friend of the Wickhams need be an “extra lady.” Actually there was only one boy —there had never been any other—for Margaret. Aunt Bet might wring her hands at the thought of a Raleigh aspiring to a Wickham, but Margaret's contemporaries con-

He was not only a nice-looking boy who stood head and shoulders above other lads his age, he had a football mind. He was a natural genius. And, though he had no particular interest in books and his only thought for tl»i future was to avoid being drafted into the grocery business by Raleigh Senior, he plodded through four years of high and four years of college with a dogged perseverance that brought him passing grades and the fervent

appreciation of his football coach. His graduation was at once a triumph and a calamity to his university. "All-Americans”—particularly “All-Americans” who consistently make passing grades are scarce. Margaret basked in his reflected glory. She didn’t worry that half the girls tn the university were mad about him, that her best friend and sorority sister. Sue Decker, would have stolen him in an instant if she could. Sue made no secret about it. She joked about it so much that hardly anyone believed her. She was pretty, popular, pampered by elderly, wealthy parents. She’d always had everything Rhe wanted, and it was considered part of her line that she raved about Kenny, who in his turn, made no secret of the fact that he actlvslv disliked her.

Tonight, the night of the senior ball, Sue, who couldn't do anything alone, brought her tlur.j« over tc the Wickhams to dress with Margaret "I ought to hate him," she was saying, dropping flame colored chiffon over her head and wriggling into the tight bodice. "The way he acted last night! And coming out of the stadium this afternoon. The boy has no manners. Simply none But that’s what makes him so fascinating. To me, I mean. Really though, you two are so unalike that I really can’t see—” “You can't see what I see in him

Or what he sees in me,” Margaret said, smiling. "You’ve gone into that before. Move over, darling, and give me a chance at the mirror, I'm going to a ball, too.” "Yes—with Kenny. Oh. Maggie, I know he's yours. But you wouldn't mind if he’d give me just a little love, would you? Such a little. You’d never miss it. Maybe if I bleached my hair. Look — wouldn't I be devastating with light hair and dark eyes? I'd put you in the shade. Only I’d be a fool to do it, because I’m the dark, Latin type, with more allure, if he’d just notice it How did you make him notice you; you Nordic iceburg? Tell me!
