Yours truly, THE ORACLE. THE NO. 1 RULE on Fire which y in Octo- Oregonian In an , editorial Prevention — Week, was ¢ rr ber, P. wwid : e mglers, that people haven't*yet got very | smart .& bo ut? preventing | fivres,though there has been great apr ing and fighting. Since! 1900, about 22,000,000 fires | | thing new, so they crami: in the United States have de: streved $15,000,000,000 | wort of property burn to death 450,000 perselis—almost thrice the numer of Americans killed in the last war. “There are about 650,000 fires. in buildings every year,-and 285,000 of them are in dwellings. What are you doing to yourself and your family? “If is the number 1 rule s in fireproof-| andi safeguard | of five prevention that a clean house, store | or factory se Idom burns. “That rule should be kept constantly in mind. A “clean house” in this case has little to do with dust on varnish- ed tables. It means a house free of those useless litters which seem to be an Amer- ican institution—old clothes stuffed in closets, attics loaded with furniture and boxes and odds-and-ends which will never be used, andybasements jammed with abandoned newspapers and magazines. And it also means a house where rea- sonable eare is taken of such potential fire-breeders as heating plants, electrical ap- pliances and inflammable liquids and paints. How about “cleaning” your place now? lt is about time for some intelligent author to pro- duce a best seller which will not be based upon what so many of them are based on, if you know what we mean. Maybe the people of the United States have learned something in the past de- cadeFor example, if a na- tion builds up its arma- ment& and its leaders talk boastingly of war, what would.wou expect? prone een saeais: ar A QUESTION FOR YOU Our sense of humor t pro- gressive. When we were. children, it didn’t take much in the line of a joke or sup- posed joke to make us laugh. We recall, when we were! a boy of five (yes, Horatius, two or three gallons of wa- ter have gone over Niagara; since that time), seeing | % clown in Shields’ circus in Jackson Square pulling a large handkerchief out of} his back pocket to wipe his face. The handkerchief had a hole in it large enough for one to stick one’s head through, and the clown ob- seryed: “Hunh, they must have been throwing coconuts through it.” What a joke that was to our mind of five! How we chuckled and how we laugh- ed! In the line of thrqwing, The Citizen, instead of say- ing horseshoe throwing, in- advertently left out the shoe, and said horse-throw- ing, and what a_ joke that was! It was considered so good by a Miami paper it ran a cartoon to illustrate the joke. Yes, it does not take much to amuse us when we are children. But when we grow up, we are more exact- ing. Let us consider the lit- tle matter of so-called radio comedians. From New, York to Hollywood and from ‘the Canadian to the Mexican border, we get the same type of tripe, day in and day out, Fifty years ago, when we arrived in New York, the revolving door joke was as dead as the proverbial door- nail, though Dickens main- asl tained a doornail was very much alive. Now, he added, if you said coffin nail, he would have been inclined Hog agree with you. But to return to_ the re- volving door joke that was as dead as a doornail 50 years ago. Sunday Right, in| Levcanp: this year of our Lord’ 6, Edgar Borgen, in: his: lie McCarthy - show, rected the revolying” do joke. But Edgar is on: no worse than the general run of so-/ called comedians. For. years | they have been adhering to the same formula — an or- chestra, a song or two, a E guest star and horse-thro’ ing jokes. None oft seems able to give ug old down our ears, and ‘how some of us chuckle and laugh! So there you have it. Use your own yardstick on your own sense of humor. Do you get a chuckle out of the co- conuts going through the handkerchief or that horse- throwing joke? Curves are coming back. Is this a fashion statement] {<) or does it refer to bese- ball? Pat Eugene O’Neil’s “The Iceman Cometh,” only seasonally popular up North, is always popular in Key West, regardless of season. play, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST |‘ Jew ‘the properts Beauty must be served, and the competition among beauty doctors is terrific. For instance, the Federal Trade Commission has a Minneapolis firm on the carpet, and challenges the claims that cosmetics and beauty preparations will keep complexions young; that beauty oils discovered by the great specialists of | © Europe have taken on mod-! ern American improve- ments, and bounded up to the “highest achievement ir cosmetology.” The “beasts” who per- formed all these miracle’ even go so far as to say that the users of their dope will blossom out into “the most beautiful and lovely women in every group of females.” The Federal Trade Commis, | sion indicates that “bests” who peddle this beauty stuff | are making misrepresenta- > tions that are so false, that they are worse than that—! I sort of dirty lies. LEGALS IN THE COU wry MY SEDGE'S court. |" ead AND FOR or biel NTY, FLORIDA. ‘1S PROB. In re: ae of, ARY S. KNOWLES, Deceased.
