...more burn every day. Near Ryderwood, Wash., 35.000 acres of timber went up. Dry electric storms were the main cause, but in some cases miscreants were suspected of making jobs for themselves as fire fighters. On St. Swithin's Day alone, electric storms had started 200 fires in northern Idaho and western Montana. Klamath, Trinity, Siskiyou and Columbia National Forests were all on fire. Smoke hung over the high Sierras as far as Reno. Nev. It blinded forest lookouts, prevented them from spotting new outbreaks. Ships in Puget Sound used fog horns as the pall from the biggest fire...

Winner last week was Alfred Loomis' Northern Light which, although tied on total points with Frederick Bedford's Nyala, was awarded the championship because it had won two first places during the week to Nyala...
...these, Eileen's role is slight: she is pretty, pursued by boys and at 13 the belle of the Epworth League, the sensation of the eighth grade. Ruth, however, with her stutter, her ability to play baseball, the social ostracism that followed her brilliant performance in the Northern Ohio Debating League, was cut out for trouble. Not entirely given over to girlish recollections, My Sister Eileen is weakest when it approaches slapstick, as in accounts of Father McKenney's washing-machine business; funniest when Author McKenney recalls the simpler sides of old Ohio life-newspaper serials, silent movies...
