Behave like a gentleman, was the

NHEREFORE. Roland Strengthened
w his necktie. threw back his admir-

high and glamorous courage, mounted
to the front door of the Casino. He

"Signore Neri?" said Roland will

perilous. some might think.
"Signore Fiske?" he asked courteous
ly, Il convince myself that have seen

Maddox Designates
Fire Prevention Week

Proclamation designating the
week of October z to Is as Fire Pre-.
vention week in North Dakota was
issued today by Governor Walter
Maddox.
Stating that the enormous destruc-
ton Of life and property by fire as
q serious economic problem which
can and must be reduced and
checked, the governor pointed out
that fire losses were reduced in 1927
for the first time since 1919. This
reduction, he said, resulted from. de-
termined and continuous effort by
various agencies and should be con-
tinued.
The proclamation calls on all
North Dakota citizens to cooperate
with the state fire marshal and local
fire departments in their efforts to
reduce fire losses, and asks public
officials, civic and trade organize
tions, newspapers, school officials,
service clubs and women's clubs ia
support the fire prevention move
ment throughout the year.

Fag Law Under Cover
Men Urged by Shafer

Adequate enforcement of the state
cigarette law requires q larger ap-
preparation and the employment OF
"under-cover" men to apprehend law
violators, according to the report OF
Attorney General George F. Shafer,
who has charge of enforcing the law.
Experience convinces him that
violation of the law is widespread,
Shafer said, and that large guam
tity Of cigarettes is sold by dealers
without stamps. In practically
every case the dealer is licensed and
the purchasers of unstamped cigar
cites seldom report the fact to the
department. As a result, he said,
secret Investigators are necessary.
The present biennial appropriation
of $4,000 is too small to have this
work done we'll, he said.
A statement by the state treasurer
shows the cigarette tax produced
$68,582.34 in 1925; $257,917.98 II
1926; $3.50, 281.09 in 1927 and $685..
598.O3 in 1928. The figures are fol
the fiscal year ending June 80.

Attorney General Also Recon-

Ger from Many Boards;
Gubernatorial Cand id tie
Makes Many Law Change
Suggestions

Revision of the law to relieve the
attorney general, of membership on
boards and commissions
together with changes which he
holds necessary to improve the
criminal statutes of the state are
in the annual report of
Attorney George F. Shafer, filed re-
Gently with Governor Maddox
Copies of the report, along with
those of other state departments,
will be printed and furnished to
members of the legislature.
Included in Skaters recommends.
tions for changes in the criminal
law is one which reaffirms his be.
lief that the statute abolishing CAPT.
tai punishment in this state should
be repealed. Shafer made this
recommendation two years ago ant
q bill to provide the supreme penalty
for murderers was the subject o.
heated controversy at the last regu
lar legislative session.
Pointing out that q number 0.
cold blooded murders have been com
mitted in North Dakota in recon
years by men engaged in commit
ting robberies, burglaries and othel
crimes, the attorney general gave j
as his opinion that .the only re
straining influence which human 50
ciety can exercise as protection
against this class of individuals !
the imposition Of the death penalt,
in certain cases." Skaters idea j
that professional criminals are NOR
reckless in taking lives in state
where the supreme penalty is no
imposed and that restoration Of tn
death penalty in North. Dakot
would discourage the tendency t
commit murder on the part Of tran
sient criminals and make North Da
kota safer from such invasions.
Other recommendations with re
gard to changes in the criminal la'
contained in the report are:
1. A new definition Of the Grim
