matter, but "a positive force in hu- man living" The Center for Safety Education at New York University vas established through a grant of funds by the National Conservation Bureau, accident prevention division of the Association of Casualty and Security Executives. Its primary pur- pose is to provide university train ing for safety teachers, and ill that field it was the first institution of it's kind in this country.
 5O,OOO AT SUMMER COURSES
 Since its establishment in July, 1888, the Center has had a total en- rollment of TAP students, awarded 27 felIowships and 1856 scholarships to teachers and supervisors of safety programs from all parts of the country. It has conducted 25 re- search studies, many of them still in progress, concerned with various aspects of safety in the school, at home, in traffic, in recreation, and in industry. In addition the research staff has inaugurated special studies in personal causes of automobile ac- cidents and other types of accidents.
 Besides the program at New York University, the Center conducted courses and intensive institutes in safety education during the past two summers at 100 other colleges and

universities. Approximately 50,000 school teachers and officials attended them.
 Thirty-tWo state motor vehicle departments and more than 50 school systems made use of the con- sultant services of the Center during the 1938-40 period. Other agencies with which the Center cooperated on problems of accident control in- cluded the Girl Scouts of America American Red Cross, Civilian Con- servation Corps, Campfire Girls, National Camp Directors Associa- ton, National Board of Fire Under writers, Boy Scouts of America, and local safety councils.

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith," comedy hit you'll want to see twice to get all the laughs, opened four day engagement at Warmers State the ater this afternoon with Carole Lombard and Robert Montgomery. Objected by Alfred Hitchcock, whoOe "Rebecca" and Foreign Cor respondent" placed among the ten best pictures of 1940, MT. & Mrs. Smith" marks the return on the part of Lombard and Montgomery to the gay, sparkling style of mirth-making they helped to make 50 popular.
 The picture deals with the hec- tic married life of successful young Park avenue lawyer and his spirited young wife, David and Ann Smith Both are independent and in- clined to have their own way. To avoid serious quarrels that might break up their home they have a house rule that in the event of an argument both must stay in their bedroom until the affair is settled no matter how long it takes.
 The young couples unique sys- tenn works nicely for them up to a certain point, but when they discov- CT that through a legal technicality their marriage is null and void, the system falls down.
 Mrs. Smith, highly irritated by MT. Smiths handling of the affair, angrily spurns his attempts at re- marriage and a triangle develops when Smiths young law partner enters the lists as a candidate for the lady's hand-seeing she's going to marry somebody.
 The two stars are ideally cast as the loving, quarreling Smiths, and Gene Raymond is brilliant choice for the part of the partner.
 Others in the cast include Phillip Merivale, Lucille Watson and Jack Carson.
 The second big hit of the program is "The Phantom Submarine" with Anita Louise and Bruce Bonnet in the principal roles.

 IN STAMPS
Augustus Caesar Made Rome Worlds Capital

THE glory and power of ancient - Rome, which modern Italy would restore, was first achieved under the first Roman emperor, Augustus Caesar, pictured on the stamp above. Dictator Mussolini has kept the memory of Augustus fresh in the minds of modern Ital- ians with several stamp issues. One set of 10 values and designs commemorated the bi-millenary of his rule.
 But Augustus had more luck in Greek and Egyptian campaigns than Il Duce. After the assassi- nation of Julius Caesar, Augustus, as Caesars heir, came into power. With Mark Antony and Lepidus, he defeated Brutus and Cassius in eastern provinces. Lepidus was removed and Antony and Angus tus ruled.
 Later Antony joined Cleopatra In war against Rome. Augustus was victorious and became sole ruler of the Roman world.
 The first emperor was a builder as we'll as conqueror. He made Rome city of marble, encouraged arts and literature. After his death in IA A. D. the Romans Nonored him as a god.

POLI'S

'"The Philadelphia Story" going into it's hold-over engagement at the popular Loew Poli theater, con- tinues to draw capacity audiences at every single performance, and all are unanimous in their praise of this sparkling comedy hit which New Workers stage. If the play had half the laughs and sparkle of the motion picture, which stars Kath- arine Hepburn with Cary Grant and James Stewart, it was worth double the price. The comedy talent of Grant and Stewart need no recommendation, but Miss Hepburn is a constant delight and treat for her fans in a comedy role made to order for her.
 Miss Hepburn should be good having given 416 performances be- fore the footlights before returning to Hollywood. She is seen as a Philadelphia society girl who wants perfect husband. Her first spouse, Grant, unfortunately had human frailties, so she divorced him. Her second husband-to-be, John How ard, worked his way up from the coal mines. But Grant, realizing that the swing away from him is too great, turns up before the we'd ding to see what he can do about it. He invades the Hepburn house. hold with Stewart, a keyhole re- porter for a society magazine, and things begin to happen with a fast and furious pace.
 Ably directed by George Cukor, and with an expert supporting cast featuring Ruth Hussey, Roland Young, John Halliday, Mary Nash and Virginia Weidler, "The Phila- delphia Story, is aimed to laugh your cares away, and does.
 On the same program is another smash hit, Tall, Dark and Hand some", a gay, fast and tuneful film featuring Cesar Romero, comedian Milton Berle, Virginia Gilmore and youthful Stanley Clements, the screens newest boy star.
 Opening a four day engagement on Saturday at Loew's Poli is Kitty Foyle" starring lovely Ginger Rogers in the title role of Christopher Nor ley's white collar girl. Dennis Mor- gan and James Craig, head an outstanding supporting cast of fav- orites.

100000 Children May Be Saved By Safety Education
Leaders Turn to Schools to Solve Problem of
 Child Accidents

The lives of at least 100000 Amer ican children who otherwise will die in accidents during the present dec- ade can be saved through safety education, according to Dr. Herbert J. Stack, director of the Center for Safety Education at New York Uni versity.
 From the beginning of the or ganized cl!ild-Safety movement in 1922 to the opening of the present decade in 1940," declares the dis tinguiShed New York educator, "an estimated total of 75,000 children who otherwise would have been killed during that time in acidents owe their lives to the habits and at- titudes of safety which they learned in school.
 "Now it can be conservatively predicted that if safety education adequately does the job ahead, it will be directly instrumental in Simi- larly saving the lives of at least 100000 school children during the decade of the 1940's."
 FORCE IN HUMAN LIVING
 Calling attention to the fact that in 1889, a year which witnessed a decrease in accidents, 93,000 persons lost their lives and 8,800,000 were injured in accidents resulting in economic loss of 100000, pr. Stack said:
 For help in meeting this grave situation, traffic authorities, execu- tives in business and industry, pub lie officials, and other leaders in community life are turning with in- creasing assurance to the schools. They believe that the schools can be of greater assistance as time goes on because they know what the schools did in saving the lives of 75,000 children between the time safety education was instituted on an or ganized basis and the beginning of this new decade"
 Dr. Stack said that safety educa- tion is not a series of prohibitions, nor sterotyped body of subject

STRAND

Hitting a new high in hilarious funmaking, "Comrade X" opened a four-day engagement at Warner s Strand theater this afternoon with Clark Gable and Hedy Lamar in the co-starring leads. |
 The picture is this years gayest festival of male versus female. Gable has been given another dashing ad- venturesome role as his public likes him best, a daredevil American newspaperman in Russia. But the happy surprise is Miss Lamar, as she has never been viewed before, in the role of Moscow lady street car ''motorman." She does everything a comedienne is supposed to do and does it well, revealing a new and pleasing animation that is a most welcome change.
 Miss Lamar exhibits unexpected talents in every reel. She has two rough-and-tumble fights, one with Gable, operates street car, drives a tank and shares Gables escapades with enthusiasm.
 The stars nave been gwen naW- less support. Getting their share of laughs are Felix Bressart, as Miss Lamarr's know-nothing father, and Sig Ruman in the role of a pompous reporter rival of Gables. They will be remembered for their hit per- formances as two of the three comedy Russian commissars in Mi nctchka." Oscar Homolka plays the head of the secret police. Eve Arden is seen as Gables ex-girl friend, and others who score include Ma tasha Lytess, Edgar Barrier and John Piccori.
 "The Lone Wolf Keeps A Date, starring Warren Williams with Frances Robinson and Q large cast, Is the co-feature.
