he was not at home He had knocked on
the door. but received no response. Al

the door and grapple with the thieves
the elevator bell rang and he had to
leave. When he returned the apartment
was dark.

with his latch key entered the apart

tomobile appliance.
Solemnly, but we'll pleaser SItn their

THEATER MANAGER
PRAISES WAGNER
Snowman Says Fire Code
Here Is Well Enforced.
SEES NO DANGER OF PANICs
That Washington Hns the Most
Carefully Compiled md RigIdIy
Enforced Fire Code, Is the
Opinion of w. T. Kirby, of
the Casino Theater.

ANY one who has managed or has
been associated with a theater in Wash
ington must testify to the truth Of the
ton made by Fire CHIEF Wagner. for in
no city. in the East particularly. Is there
any more carefully and completely form
uiated code of fire laws, or are they any
better enforced than in Washington"
This statement was made yesterday by
W. T Kirby. manager Of the Casino
Theater. after reading Fire Chief Wag-
ner's statement IN The Washington Her
aid Mr.. Kirby only came to Washing
ton recently to take the management
of the Casino under the new lessee.
Il have managed theaters in nine
cities in five different States" he said.
and nowhere have l seen such ade-
quate fire laws applied to the theaters,
and nowhere have | seen them so SEN
sibly and 80 rigidly enforced Nothing
is overlooked here. Even in construction
the fire department seems to have WELD
to permit of possible crushing in case
of panic
Empty House in Two Minutes.
The two newest theaters in Washing
ton are the Casino and the Imperial, the
latter now nearing completion. II there
are anywhere in America two better
protected theaters for their capacity l do
not know their location. With 1.41 peo-
pie in the Casino. can empty the build
ing in two minutes
But all the laws in the world would
avail nothing it they were not enforced,
and that is where Chief Wagners men
without at least two representatives of
the fire department at every show, and
higher officials of the department are
constantly dropping in TO see the actual
conditions as to crowds, maintenance,
and working order of the fire appliances
Every Monday morning an inspector
looks over every piece of new scenery
that comes in and tests it with matches
II It burns it has TO be fireproofed.
"FrequentIy have heard managers
and theater attaches complain of the
severity of fire regulations. There is
never a time that fire regulations can be
too rigid around a theater. II is pro-
lection for the owner. for the lessee.
for the employees. and for the patrons
as we'll as a matter Of observing the law
The puhlic's confidence and good will
are the best assets in a theater. The
hest way to get the first is to have a
safe. absolutely safe. theater.
And to do justice TO W'ashingtOn's fire
department. there is no danger Of an un-
safe theater here under chief Wagner s
administration. 1t has the theater sit
uatiOn in hand better than anywhere
else. and the theater owners and man.

For Your Hair
HERE ARE FACTS WE WANT YOU
TO PROVE AT OUR RISK.

When the roots of the hair are en-
tirely dead and the pores of the scalp
are glazed over, we do not believe
that anything can restore hair growth.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic acts scien-
tifically, destroying the germs which
are usually responsible for badness.
1t penetrates to the roots Of the hair,
stimulating and nourishing them. 1t
is most pleasant toilet necessity, is
delicately perfumed and will not gum
nor permanently stain the hair.
We want you to get bottle of
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic and use it as
directed. If it does not relieve scalp
irritation, remove dandruff, prevent
the hair falling out and promote an
increased growth of hair and in
every way give entire satisfaction,
simply come back and tell us and
without question or formality we will
hand back to you every penny you
paid us for 1t.

London, March SPURIOUS at
the freedom with which the CORE

political circles are planning to pun
ish the offenders, even though their
articles may never have been circul-
lated in Great Britain.
The matter has been submitted to
the attorney-genera who has prom
ised to see what can be done. The
probabilities are that a bill such as
the angry Britons desire will be in
troduced in parliament, where it will
stand an excellent chance Of enact
ment into law,
The new statute, if passed, will
make England an extremely lively

send to American newspapers, in par
ticular, will hardly pass day of

selves to civil or criminal penalties.
