PAGE Six FILM BURNS AT ‘HIGHWAY PRAYER PALACE THEATER SERVICE TONIGHT QUIET WAS SOON RESTORED DURING INCIDENT LAST NIGHT Efficiency in modern structural methods in theaters was admir- ably demonstrated last night at the Palace Theater when a film caught fire in the projection booth. Under some circumstances a panic would have ensued, but aside from the scream of a female patron, and the manifested rest- Jessness of a part of the audience, quiet was restored after the flames from the burning film had been extinguished by the use of chemicals. Fire apparatus from Stations Number I and Number 3 respond- ed and found it was not necessary to use the engines. The interior of the projection booth was badly damaged but outside of the booth there was absolutely no damage.

The comment is from Dr. F. R. Moulton, famous astronomer, to the Science Council, made up of the New York city science teach- ers. He showed. by pictures, how harmless comets ;are. He told; how many times the same comet had reappesred from: .amcient times to modern and-been blamed for catastrophes: o: There was Halley's oer last seen on earth in 1910, due again in 1985. In 130 B. C. this same comet was believed to have forecast the birth of Mithridates; in 550 A. D_.it was credited with signaliing the capture of Rome. In 1305 it forecast the plague—in 1456 Mohammed Second’s con- quests. In 1910 Dr. Moulton received thousands of letters from anxious persons. A Texas grocer asked whether he ought to come to the University of Chicago, where Dr. Moulton was teaching, to study about comets. Dr. Moulton replied that after a hard struggle the astronomers had the comet under control and could assure the grocer it would do the. earth:no harm. ae Small Boy—Say, pop, did you go to Sunday-school when you Father—Yes, son, regularly.

Cities are rep- resented informal gatherings and the old folks have their “Three Score and Ten Club”. Every profession, sport and field of thought has a club here. The blind have two. The star- gazers and the swimmers, the drinkers and the temperance league, gamblers, workers and “high society” are paying dues in clubs. Nudi and sunbathers have their private mee Ss and new the widows have a club ali their own with a generous social program which includes the bach- elors-at-large. The “crackers” club was re- cently added to the list and the “Tin Can Tourist Association” is bidding for quarters here. All this clanishness is helpful and a man may be judged by the importance of his club rating, ex- cept for one exclusive fraternity known as the “Jail Breakers”, which meets, like the Klan, be- hind locked doors.
