~ PENlNt1 night!
When q big revue
makes its first bow to
Q Broadway audience it
faces the flower of the me-
tropolis. For seats to big
premieres cannot be had for
money, alone. Half at least
of the places are given away
to newspaper men, politi-
clans, angels fellow pro-
ducers of consequence, the
millionaires who own the
ground and building, the
authors, composers, stagers,
costumers, relatives of the
stars, chiefs Of the theatre
cal unions, and a few intim-
ate friends.
Whoever can buy a good
seat after that allotment is
somebody. Ticket brokers
and brokers to the brokers
are besieged, squeezed,
bribed, to get the tickets,
with a thousand willing to
pay as high as 500 per pair
where there are not a quar-
ter as many pair to be had
for love or cash. By the

money-men, the live ones

motions. Everyone has jobs
to do, and everyone is up
on every detail of those
jobs.
But there is the mental

 The notice to the men is as fol- lows:
 ITO the Officers and Members of
 the Fire Department:
 The week of October 9th to OC tober 12th has been proclaimed Fire Prevention Week and we be- licve that large amount of fire prevention work can be done by the tiremen while on tours of inspec- tions, by bringing to the attention of property owners and tenants, the value of prevention as cure.
 "The officers of the various com panies will have the men make in- spectiOns, during the above men toned week. and also the week of September 30th to October 9th, and call to the attention of property owners and tenants, the advisability of cleaning and repairing chimneys and stove pipes, before lighting winter fires; see that ashes are not deposited against wooden partitions; instruct persons to exercise caution in burning leaves and rakings, from yards and gardens; advise that this is a violation of city ordinances unless a permit to do so has been obtained from the office of Fire Chief w. J. Noble. See that stove pipe collars are against the wall; instruct housewives in the careful use of electric irons, coasters and curling irons; watch out for defec- tive electric wiring; advise as to the removal of all rubbish and instruct as to the danger of allowing rub Dish to accumulate in cellars, hall ways, closets, attiCs and garages; dQNlSe nOuStNlNtS lO uSt StONt pol- ish of q non-inflammable nature; polish of this kind can be purchased from local dealers and will be scld to them if asked for.
 Tn homes and business blocks where oil burners are used for heat ing purposes, advise owner to have fire pot and smoke stack cleaned and the accumulation of sOot re- moved from same; also clean chim- neys. Advise that all repairs and ad iustments, to he made on oil burning apparatus be taken care of by competent mechanics. This is very important and will save the owner from using more oil than is necessary, and by getting better re- suits. from the amount of fuel used and it removes the danger of fires starting through faulty Workman- ship.
 "Tho suSecss obtained from Fire Prevention Week. and the results of our fire prevention labors through the year depend largely on the in tcrcst taking by the men in the fire department and we ask for your cooperation and that of the citizens to help make our labors effective"
