Sept. 26.--Under the proclamation of Governor Len Small all cities and towns in the state of Illinois are asked to observe the period of Oct. 9 to 15 as Fire Prevention Week, with the holding of appropriate, programs impressing upon #the resident of the communities that losses by fire are generally preventable. v The proclamation calls attention to the fact that a clean, well kept house seldom burns, and that every citizen owes it to himself and loved ones to see that rubbish is cleaned up, that furnaces and flues are cleaned out and put in good shape and that every precaution be taken to relieve fin hazards. ^ • - -fhe Proclamation ^- The proclamation reads: Property worth $560,548,624 was wiped out by fire last year in the United States. Fifteen thousand lives were sacrificed. Illinois suffered. 124,968,006 of the loss. "This vast waste is wholly unnecessary. Carlessnesg is responsible for at least three-fourths of it. If every individual would exercise ordinary care, the fire loss wbuld be very small./': :\. - ;.v "Illinois which has been a leader in so many movements, can also be a leader in the great campaign to reduce fire waste, if public officials and citizens will cooperate. "Now, therefore, I, Len Small, governor of Illinois, do hereby appoint and proclaim the week from October 9 to October 15, 1927, to be observed in the state of Illinois as Fire Prevention Week. "A clean, well-kept house seldom burns. Every citizen owes it to himself and his loved ones to see that rubbish is cleared up, that furnace and flues are cleaned out and in good shape, that electrical wiring and gas connections are safe, that gasoline and oils are not used near fires and that precautions are taken in all of the thinks which involve danger of a fire. "Every business man and manufacturer should see that his place is kept scrupulously free from unnecessary fire hazards, that inflammable products are properly stored and that hazard processes are kept under strict control. "School officials are responsible for the safety of the children and it is their duty to provide fire-safe buildings, ample exits and to have regular fire drills. , . "A similar responsibility and duty rests upon those having charge of theatres, hospitals, churches, hotels, public halls and other places where iffy?* J* .V. fire would endanger lives. . "Public officials should enforce strict fire regulations by proper, ordinances and systematic inspections. "Mayors, fire chiefs, chambers of commerce and civic organizations should cooperate to see that a practical observation of Fire Prevention Week is had in every community. Instructive talks and programs should be held in schools. It is suggested that civic organizations devote a meeting in October to fire prevention I and that this meeting be during Fire Prevention Week, if possible. Cooperation of press and pulpit is also invited." r V V V V V V • V V v For Saturday Only- • Reduced Prices on BRIDGE SETS, LUNCHEON SETS, PILLOW OASES at the Agatha Shop II ?

CHICAGO RADIO SHOW DATES OCTOBER 10-16 The latest developments in radio receiving sets, speakers and power units backed up by a display of the most recent and sensational discoveries in the use of wireless from the laboratories of the General Electric and Westinghouse Companies when the sixth annual Chicago Radio Show is held in the Coliseum from October 10 to 16. The show, will be open to the public every afternoon and evening. A piece of steel suspended in the ai^, by magnetic repulsion, a tube so sensitive that a puff of smoke causes it to operate a fire alarm, another tube that will puck up the energy from a human hand passed over it and build up this energy sufficiently to start an electric motor, will be in the "Theater of Wireless Wonders." The atom will be heard and seen and even measured by the scientific device on display at the Chicago show this year. The oscillations of a wireless wave will be made visible to the naked eye by another scientific discovery. The Cathode tube, developer of the mysterious "death-ray," will be demonstrated for the first time in public. Miore than twenty scientific demonstrations, so startling as to be almost beyond human belief, will be exhibited twice each day at the show. A feature of the display of up-tothe minute radio sets will be the lajrge number which are now equipped to operate directly from the light socket. Engineers have now solved this problem which for a time appeared to defy solution. The new AC tubes of different types will be shown as integral parts of many new models of standard radio receiving sets. The amateur set building contest promises to break all records for the number of entries. Dealers report a boom in home set building and this is reflected in the many entries being received for the contest. Cash prizes will be awarded in tsch of six divisions of the contest and a silver trophy will go to the constructor exhibiting the best home-made set in the show. Entry blanks can be obtained at the Radio Show office at 127 North Dearborn street. WEEKLY PERSONALS COMERS AND GOERS OF A WEEK IN OUR CITY Phone 179 McHenry, 111. Men'a Righta Men's rights are a great deal ef trouble to them. They assert them, and get them, and then they don't know what to do with them. A man's rights, half of them, are meant to give away. . . . The beatitude of your rights is, they are your benevolences. Tou can yield them, give them away. And the law of social unity is the la*^ of assertion of a man's individuality as a benevolence for those that are round about him.--Henry Ward Beecher.
