FIRE PREVENTION
DAY OCTOBER 8
Gov. Clarke win Issue HE Proclaim
tIon AZ Request Of ole o. Roe,
State Fire Marshal.

Fire prevention day will be observ-
ed in Iowa October 8. Governor
Clarke will issue proclamation, at
the request OF o. o. Roe, state ire
marshal. calling attention to the day.
For a number OF years the state
fire marshal has carried on a campaign
Of fire prevention. BY setting aside
day on which special educational
programs are given, he has found that
the public has been taking growing
interest in eliminating the great waste
by fire.
This year the department hopes To
get commercial clubs and business
mems organizations to take part ia
the hre prevention day exercises Id
many smaller communities boosters
already have declared that not only
will exercises be held, but that busi.
ness operations will be suspended dur
Ing certain hours Of the day to give
everyone an opportunity to attend.
The state fre marshal will send out
fire prevention literature for use In
the schools. He asserts that the. In
struction given to syoungstsrs by the
teachers is of imme nse value.
Iowa has made credftable showing
In 1915 in reduction Of fire loss. But
during the year there have been a
number OF accidents due to the care!
less handling OF gasoline. Many house
wives and children have lost their
lives through efforts to start fires IN
stoves by the use OF gasoline.
1t appears that the 1915 record OF
IRE tragedies will be but slight i'm

THINK THIS ADVICE OVER
Actress Recommends Women to Dress

Their Figure.

Dress your character, not your fig.

seemR at first hearing. But think II
over well and the excellence OF the
idea will appeal to you. Every won.
an has a certain individuality OF her
own--a temperament, II you will
that makes her a little, or perhaps a
good deal, different from all other
women. It is the individuality-this
temperament-that women should
dress up to. according TO the actress,
in order to make the personality more
marked and convincing.
But an instructive carrying out Of
this advice with no heed to the
promptings OF reason may result in
disaster. For example. there IL al
ways the woman who weighs 200
pounds or thereabouts, but whose per.
sonality is distinctly kittenish, Is
she to dress her character or her hg-
