Proclamation On
 Fire Prevention

Governor Cross, by a procla- niation issued Tuesday, desig- mated Friday, October 3, as fire prevention day.
 He said:
 Fire, ever since it was dis covered, has been regarded as a menace as well as a boon from heaven. From those times when it was worshipped as a god until today when modern apparatus speeds through our streets with sirens screaming, the fear of conflagration clutch eS the human heart.
 "The prevention and lighting of fire has become a social re- sponsibility which does not end with the support of a fire de- partment nor with the pur- chase of a fire insurance policy. Irreparable loss of human life and the wastefuI destruction of property must be guarded against by the exercise of great care by each of us as indiv- iduals.
 ''TO aid in the cultivation of alertness to this danger, I urge that teachers in our schools, all authorities in business and in- dustry, and people in their homes observe this day in ap- prOpriate manner and that the press and radio broadcasting stations draw attention to an ever-present threat and to the simple measures of precaution which we all can use.''

tested. Don't miss I'll
Tomorrow O brand new show
headlined by wives Never Know,
O thoroughly delightful and hilari-
Gus comedy Of married life featuring
that charming and hilarious screef,
husband and wife, Charlie Ruggles
and Mary Boland.
"Wives Never Know" Is story
Of q happily welded pair whose
romance goes on the rocks when
they take the advice Of suave Adolf
phe Menjou, cast as o novelist who
believes himself too wise to get mar
ried but Is free enough with his
wild-eyed theories on what consti-
tutes happiness In marriage. He
urges the husband to make his wife
jealous 80 that she may know the
Joy which comes with forgiveness.
Always anxious to please, Ruggles
takes the advice, getting himself into
O series Of scrapes and complica-
tions that work into q side-splitting
climax which ends with the wise
one finding himself tricked into the
bonds Of matrimony.
Ruggles and Miss Boland carry
the lead roles In irnimitable manner
which has endeared them TO millions.
The cast also includes brunettee
Vivienne Osborne as the "other

Thrills and chills abound plenti-
fully In the companion feature. 1.-THE

Ralph Bellamy with Marian Marsh
and Isabel Jewell. The theme Of the
story Is logically deducted from

formation on the operating table OF

O gentle, honest citizen, who then
uses his talent and genius TO study
and uscceed In thepractice OF emdi-
cine.
OF course there are complications

there Is no Ice in the water glasses
Of the diners. A prop boy scurries
In with cubes. Only they're not
ice, but hollow cubes Of cellophane.
Ice would melt too quickly under
the hot lights. The cellophane
doern't melt, reflects into the CO.
merO, and looks like Ice.
It's O good trick, but there Is no
trick which can save the players
from eating dinner ct 0 O. m. They
