Travel Over Desert Road to Big Bear Endangered By Blazes
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11. California forests were again menaced today by one of the most serious outbreaks of fire of the present year.
Strong north winds, high temperatures and low humidity combined to make the situation so serious that warnings were dispatched to all federal forests and state forest supervisors to increase their vigilance.
Five major blazes were raging uncontrolled in as many national forests and in others exhausted workers had only quenched fires before they were hurriedly rushed to the danger zones.
So serious was the Monterey division fire in Santa Barbara National Forest because of inaccessibility that an airplane was dispatched from Cresy Field for Salinas where Supervisor Chester E. Jordan was planning late today to make an aerial reconnaissance of the menaced area.
A bad blaze was reported east of Oroville in Plumas National Forest on land owned by the Huthinson Lumber Co. where several weeks ago tens of thousands of acres of timber lands were devastated.
Areas now endangered by blazes which may develop at any moment into disastrous fires were: Angeles, Quincy, Tahoe, Santa Barbara and Stanislaus National forests.
In Tahoe National forest two bad blazes in the Relief Hill countryside are now roaring into valuable brush and timberlands with more than 235 men on the fire lines vainly endeavoring to control the huge blaze.
The town of North Bloomfield which was threatened by one of these fires was saved, it was announced by the United States district forester's office here. But one building was destroyed, it was said.
The Jawbone fire in Santislaus forest was out today after burning more than 1,300 acres of brush and timber altho the Calaveras, Big Creek fire was still being closely watched after devastating 1,800 acres.
The San Gabriel fire in Angeles Forest has jumped control lines on the west fork of the San Gabriel river, said reports received here, and 400 men are desperately building a new line opposite Chileon Canyon in an effort to stem its advance.
The Sugar Pine fire east of Cajon, on the desert side of the San Bernardino mountains also in this forest, was again out of control and roaring over fire lines built fused to submit the issue to conciliation board arbitration.
DAHLIA SHOW ANNOUNCES PROGRAM
One of the finest features of the Buena Park Wman's club Dahlia show is the Dahlia dance to be staged by pupils of Mrs. J. A. Hilton, of Santa Ana, instructor in dance, and expression, at the afternoon and evening show Friday; Sept. 19. This is the only number of the program which will be given both afternoon and evening.
A very nice arrangement this year will allow one admission to both entertainments, as the tea booth will provide a really filling luncheon of sandwiches, salad, cake, pie, coffee and ice cream. Patrons of the show may arrive in time for the program in the afternoon, enjoy a hearty meal from the tea table and have plenty of time to look at the floral exhibits before the evening entertainment.
The animated magazine will be an innovation, as nothing like it has been presented in the community. Each department of a magazine will be enacted, fiction, editorial, advertising, history, travel, biography, in fact, all that a modern magazine contains, will be delineated, with explanatory reading by a member of the club.
The dahlia show is not for Buena Park alone, it is for the whole of Orange-co and talent from the entire county will assist in making this the best show of the autumn. Splendid music will interperse the other numbers.

More than 50 members of Long Island hunting set gathered for the hunt after 5:30 this morning and after waiting a few minutes with hounds straining at the leashes, finally rode off from the estate of Robert E. Todd, without the prince.

After an hour's riding a fow was chased out of the bush and the hunt was on.

Smith and its approval by the war department.
Officers in the aviation service here were not surprised at Lieut. Smith's request they said, because Lieut. Smith received his first flying training here as well as performing many of the stunts which have made him an outstanding figure in aviation history.

By 5:30 o'clock about 1,000 had passed thus the gates.
The weather was ideal. The air was crisp and cool. Most of the spectators that were on hand wore overcoats.
Tex Rickard had provided a band that kept the early arrivals happy by playing popular airs.
The arena was amply guarded. More than six hundred of Jersey City's "finest" were on duty inside the big bowl. In addition nearly five hundred were stationed in the immediate vicinity outside of the arena. These latter kept the crowds moving.

In the accepted sense of the terms, Firpo is no more wild bull than Harry Wills is a panther. The terms are libelous to the animals in question.
The bull does not live that cannot accept a wound for what it may be worth and come on for more. And what may be said for a panther with broken claws and a weak jaw such as Wills is reported to feature?

“JAG” COMES HIGH
H. E. Plummer of Sacramento was arraigned before Judge Kuchel on the charge of intoxication, entered a plea of guilty, and was fined $50. He was arrested yesterday by Officers Tipton and Baxter.

In the accepted sense of the terms, Firpo is no more wild bull than Harry Wills is a panther. The terms are libelous to the animals in question.
The bull does not live that cannot accept a wound for what it may be worth and come on for more. And what may be said for a panther with broken claws and a weak jaw such as Willis is reported to feature?
From all appearances it will be a meeting between two big tremendously strong men who can deal out punishment, but cannot take it. Their apparently is the theory that it is more blessed to give than to receive. It will be a question of the man landing the hardest punch first and in spite of Willis cleverness he cannot be staked in preference without first proving that he rates that distinction.
The same goes for Firpo. There will be a winner tonight but the writer knows him not.
The loser? It may be our Mr. Rickard. Favored by excellent weather and an attraction that has the sharpshooters divided against themselves, he may accept a financial loss on the venture, owing to Firpo’s difficulties with the law.
Failing in their efforts to have the senior deported before the bout and in a subsequent attempt to have the fight outlawed, New Jersey reformers are threatening the arrest of Firpo under the Mann act and will seek a warrant for his arrest today. The possibility that Firpo may be arrested in fighting togs as he climbs into the ring has added to the gaiety of the occasion but not to the gate receipts. Those were benefited not at all by Firpo’s troubles which have caused the customers to abstain from ticket buying on the theory that a buck in the hand is worth two in the box offices.
They feared a postponement or cancellation and in consequence the advance sale has not exceeded $300,000. Of this Willis is supposed to draw $150,000 and Firpo a guarantee of $100,000 with its privilege of a cut in the receipts.
However, our Mr. Rickard told for a last minute rally around entrances today and tonight.
