COtwals Reminds
Residents of Rules
To Prevent Fires

Mai. John c. Gotwals, Engineer
Commissioner Of the District OF
Columbia, today called attention
of Washington residents to set
of elementary rules to be obsery-
ed in preventing fires.
In statement on Fire Preven-
ton Week, Maj. Gotwals assert
ed: Fire Prevention Week
should bring a message to every
private home in the District be-
cause statistics show that the
number of dwelling houses de-
stroyed by fire in the United
States last year represented 81
per cent of the total fire loss and
that fires of this kind. increased
SO per cent in the last six years.
Most of these fires could have
been prevented by observing GER
tain simple rules. Every home
owner or renter, when acquiring
dwelling, should inspect it to
determine just what fire hazards
exist. This first survey should
be checked at least once a year
and it should include examination
of stoves, ranges and lighting
equipment; cleaning out of stove
pipes and chimneys and the
clearing out of accumulations
of rubbish, boxes. discarded fur
niture and all other inf1ammable
objects.
These rules. though elemen-
tary, are Of cital importance in
fire prevention. May I call upon
every home in the District to
give thought to them and to aid
us in making the home a place of
utmost safety as well as the place
we all love best"

Music and Love
Dominate in
This Film

The presentation of Congress
Dances" the UFA.United Artists
film now showing at the Metro
politan, is. notable not only be-
cause this much-discussed picture
reveals to us our first glimpse Of
Lillian Harvey, the British girl
who became Germany's foremost
film luminary, but because it re-
turns to our screen various other
favorites of silent days-particll-
larly Lii Dagover and Conrad
Veidt.
It has been pretty widely pub
licized that Congress Dances"
has nothing whatsoever to do
with the estimable ladies and
gentlemen on Capitol Hill. The
congress Of the picture is the
Vienna Congress of 1814-the
'peace congress of intrigue
dominated by Metternich, the
butterfly statesman" and at
tended by all the crowned heads
Of Europe.
The story tells of a little glove
shop girl who tries to bring busi-
ness to her place by tossing bou-
quetS at the kings of Wurttem-
burg, ct cetera, the bouquets be-
ing neatly wrapped i Ire ad-
vertising matter for the glove
shop. When she tries this stunt
on the Car Alexander of Rus
sia, the police think he has been
bombed, and she is arrested. But
the Car likes her so we'll that he
provides a grand villa for her
somewhere in the Vienna woods.
It is a nice little romano while
1t lasts, which is not very long.
While the Congress is trying to
decide what shall be done with
Napoleon, the versatile Bonaparte
decides for himself, and the
crowned heads betc.- themselves
home with celcrity. That is the
last little ChriStal sees of Alex
ander.
Miss Harvey is charming and
graceful, and there seems to be
no reason why she should not be
popular in An Hrica.
Conrad Veidt is much more
presentable as Metternich than
in any other role he has played
on the American screen, and Lii
Dagover is just too alluring for
words. Henry Carat in the dual
role of Alexander and Uralsky is
excellent.
The news reel shows President
Hoover giving part of the mes
sage he read to Congress, and
there is an exciting cartoon
comedy that takes one to China
via the internal regions. 1t is
full of thrills.

THE YANKEES WIN

AMERICAS annual fall sporting elias
IA sic, the world series, is now thing
OF the past, with Chieago's Cubs creep
ing off to their lairs to lick their sorely
wounded carcasses and hibernate until
next spring sends them out here to Cali
fornla to try again for baSeball's high
est honors.
As world series go it was not so much
this year, the Cubs showing little of the
class that is supposed to make a big
league champion team stand out above
all others. Their pitchers faltered mis-
erably. On the defense they got "buck
fever" in tight places. The Yankees too
played some poor baseball, but offset
this by the terrific batting they un-
leashed.
The baseball fan who is looking for a
laugh can get it by reading the predic-
lions made by the sports experts before
the series started, as to what the Cubs
classy pitchers would do to the heavy
hitting Yankees. Like so many expert"
predictions on every conceivable topic,
the representations failed to work.
If there is one man in the country
whose cup of joy is overrunning, re-
CARELESS of economic stringency, politi-
cal unrest and Whatnot, it is Joseph Nc
Carthy, manager of the victorious Yam
kee team. Two years ago Joseph was
discarded by the Cubs as not being of
big league calibre so far as managers go.
He had failed to land the Cubs in first
place and was unceremoniously told that
his services were no longer required.
Yesterday he had the satisfaction of
bringing his YANKEES through to victory
right in the same baseball yard where
he was discredited two years ago, with
the spectators who used to root for him
roofing against him and at least one of
the men responsible for his discharge
looking on.
If revenge is as sweet as they tell US
it is, Joseph Mccarthy should be a COM
bination of sugar, honey and molasses
today. His success and the downfall of
the Cubs pitchers give double proof that
the experts don't know all about it and
that goes for baseball and good many
other things.
