THEATER SMOKING
BAN IS DEMANDED
Stefan Predicts Disaster.
Fire Officials Seeking
Mill Blaze Cause.

A strong plea to ban all smoking In
theaters was made today by Repre-
sentative Stefan of Nebraska as fire
officials renewed their efforts to ascer-
tain the cause of the blaze which Sat-
urday night swept the millworking
plant of Galliher and Klimkiewicz,
1884 Eleventh street southeast.
Unless smoking in theaters is ime-
mediately prohibited" Stefan said, "I
predict the District Commissioners
and theater owners very soon will face
responsibility for tragedy greater than
the Knickerbocker disaster. which
took more than 80 lives in 1924"
Fire Chief Charles E. Schrom said
he had been informed a watchman at
the millworking plant had noticed
children playing in the rear Of the
building shortly before the flve-alarm
blaze started.
Cause Not Determined.
''The children may have started
the fire." Schrom said, "but we have
nc definite information to that effect
We are still investigating all posi-
BILE causes"
Lime Burns Fireman.
Fireman John w. Rabe, No. IS
Engine Company, who was burned
when splattered with lime in the
fire, was said to be improving at Emer-
gency Hospital. He was the only per-
son hurt during the blaze. which
caused damage estimated at $4,000
Chief Schrom said anything might
happen" as a result of smoking in
theaters.
Certainly 1t Is dangerous and
creates fire hazard" he declared
There is no law, however, under
which the Fire Department can stop
It."
Theater managers permit smoking
under the impression 1t will bring
them additional patronage, Stefan
said.
Loss Of Life Predicted.
"a lighted cigarette stub thrown
away careleSsly, as it Is done In
washington, eventually is going to
result in both loss Of life and prop
erty," the Nebraska Representative
declared.
"If theater officials wish to merit
the friendship of the Washington
theatergoing public, they will act
without outside pressure" Stefan's
statement concluded. "The excuse
that the permission of smoking in
theaters increases revenue is a very
selfish one and an excuse which Will
never be forgiven by an enraged pub
lis should fire started by a lighted
cigarette or cigar stub in one Of these
theaters cause the loss of human life. u

SPANNING Ann CRIME

J. Edgar Hoover. head of the U. S
Bureau of Criminal Investigation
recently said that Old-fashioned
spankings would check the early
crime tendencies of American youth.
The effect of spankings depends
largely on when they are applied. If
you inflict them on a youth at too
advanced an age, a seed of rebellion
is planted in his mind, which may do
permanent injury. 1t is a useful
thing for the young child to feel that
there is a firm power over him which
he must obey. If he once gets the
idea that he can do as he pleases
without suffering some painful pen
atty, the foundation for a career of
revolt against the laws of the world
is laid. Perhaps the old-fashioned
woodshed exercises need to be re-
vived here in Milford, but their use
fulness is limited to early childhood

OBSOLETE PLANTS

Americas production plant is OBJ
solete," was one of the things said
by Alfred P. Sloane, Jr., president of
General Motors, in an address at San
Francisco. He felt there is a great
opportunity for industrial expansion,
in undermining the producing facili-
ties of the country.
People who carry on any kind of
business often make a mistake in
letting their producing plants run
down hill. There is a temptation to
draw out too much money in divi-
dents, and too little for keeping the
plant in first class condition and up
to the times. AS Mr.. Sloane init
mates, we could have a wonderful
business boom if the majority of
concerns would proceed to
replace the outworn and the out-of-
date stuff with modern equipment.

DEFRAUDNG THE YETERANs

AS j the Vultures gather around
when there is a chance for unwhole-
some pprey, so the racketeers and
crooks will be looking for portions
of the bonus money which is being
paid to the Warld War veterans.
When $2,OOO.OOO,OOO is being poured
out in one vast stream, it will be
strange if some portions of it are
not gathered in by people who seek
to live by their crooked wits rather
than by truth and honest service.
Most veterans have cut their eye
teeth, and will know how to deal
with these fellows. But in any body
of people there are always some who
can be misled by fast talk and warm
smiles. Such ones would better hold
right onto their money. If they
don't know what to do with it, they
should ask some experienced friend
whose judgment has proved good on
business problems.

FARLEY SLURS MIDWEST
By Representative Dewey Short
Of Missouri

The New Deal at heart is not over
ly sOlicitous concerning the welfare
Of American agriculture. You will
recall the address of the principal
New Deal campaign manager, Post
master General James A. Farley. at
Grand Rapids. Mich, in which he re-
ferred with eloquent disdain to "a
typical Prairie State"
We people of the great agricultural
producing region of America long
have understood the contempt in
which Tammany holds the great Mid
die West.
Many good people of the great
Prairie States, l may add, appear to
reciprocate heartily in their mistrust
OF the political system of Tammany
Hail.
Yet, it is Illuminating to find the
Postmaster General and the Chair
man of the Democratic National
Committee and the Chairman of the
Democratic State Committee for New
York publicly proclaim his sincere
contempt for "a typical Prairie
State"
The Prairie States will be the last
in the Union to be Tammanyized by
the Farley spoils system.
The Prairie States will be the last
to blow down to the Roosevelt svs-
tenn OF government by Executive Or
der. The Prairie States still are
fighting for constitutional govern
ment!
The Prairie States will be the last
to ratify the New Deal policy of reck-
less squandering of the peoples mon
ey and the nations substance!
The Prairie States will be the last
in this Union to accept the principle
Oh the boondoggle as the foundation
stone of American prosperity!
The Prairie States support an hon
est and industrious people and no
public slurs from Tammany-spoils-
men will change the honorable and
orthright convictions of that section.
In little more than three years
he New Dealers have increased our
rational debt by more than 10000

THE COATLESS MAN

About this time expect the an
nual argument, whether it is proper
for the male animal to appear in pub
lie, particularly at any kind of for.
NAL occasion, without his coat
Probably the majority of men do moi
worry their heads over this question
If they feel like removing their coats
they do so under most circumstan-
ces.
There are still functions and
places of public resort where the
man without a coat is not viewed
favorably. He may be asked to re-
tire from public view. When so
dealt with, he replies with some
heat, that the idea is not applied
with equal force to both sexes.
He notes the young and older wo-
men extremely lightly clad, many of
the younger set parading around in
costumes not unlike a bathing suit.
Where is the justice, he inquiries, in
forcing the man to cover himself
from head to toe, and particularly
with the heavy coat which the hot
suns rays turn into a mantle of dis
comfort?
Clothes are worn to cover the
body and distinguish man from the
lower animals, and protect him from
cold. But coat, with the thermom-
eter in the nineties, is about as logi-
cal as the proverbial fifth wheel on
the wagon. 1t serves no purpose.
Putting it on the man is about like
covering the horse with two har-
nesses instead of one. Consider your
own cool attire, ladies, which some
times makes us almost wonder if
he world is going nudist, and have
'ome sympathy!
Men pride themselves on their in
dependence. which does not 20 so I
cry far. 1t takes a very unusual I
for instance, to wear a
traw hat after the bell rings in Sep !
amber. To remove the coat when v
lame Fashion frowns, still calls for d
lore than usual determination. Mr..
Ian should not be too firmly bound Z
y foolish old customs. =

THE MONTH OF FLOWERS

June has been called the month of
flowers. 1t is then that the gardener
reaches the height of his joy. The
month is heartily welcomed in Mil
ford, which would like to do its ut
most to encourage flower culture.
When a man turns a plain back yard
into nest of flowers he does his
part toward creating the Getty beau
tiful."
June has thus a special message
for restless and discontinued people.
Why tear around the country in a
vain search for happiness and ex-
citing pleasures, when you can find
them in your own home grounds?
June brings the sun to its full
height, when it pours its life into
our bodies and into our flower beds,
without sitting the breath out of us
with July heats. June has brought
natures garments of loneliness to
its perfection, with every tree a
tapestry of foliage such as no weaver
can ever initiate. June brings us
The liquid call of every bird, saying |
The world is good. Get out in the
garden with your hoe, Mr.. and Mrs.
Nan, and have some personal part
n making and enjoying all this love-
mess.

EFFORT NEEDED FOR PROGRESS

1t doesn't take any gas to move an
automobile down a hill. Just let it
slide down by its own weight. If you
are going TO climb that hill, you need
gasoline or some other power.
It's the same with a town. 1t can
live along on its old reputation for
time, slip along without much be-
ing done to keep it up. But to make
any progress takes effort applied to
all its functions and business and
community activities. A lot of peo-
pie have got to put in solid work
keeping its institutions and business
going, and making any improvement
on the old record. If you want your
home town to develop don't expect
to see that hope realized, unless you
are willing to put in some work on
it yourself.
