ing the hours between midnight and
O'Clock yesterday morning the vault OF
the Cecil theater was broken into, six

placed on the wall surrounding the
furnace and fire set to them. There
is evidence of an explosion where the
two reels were placed. Under local

The season is at hand when skat-
ars fall through the ice and drown
because they are unable to swim. It
I little short of a crime not to be
able to swim. AS long as people in
sist on going out in boats and on ice,
they owe it to themselves and to their
loved ones to know how to swim in
case Of accident. The ones who
drowned, suffer the least from such
accidents; it is the family and friends
who have most Of the agony. Par
3ents should see to it that their chill
slren know how to take care of them
.eles in the water; grownups who
DO not know how, should learn at

swim is one of the most important
safeguards Of life.
