mencements and closing exercises so
that there will be no question of
safety. The commissioner, who has
been receiving reports from many por
tions of the State, states that a great
many of the popular halls have less
exit space than is safe for the people
who can be seated, and when in addi
tion thereto crowds are permitted to
stand In the aisles and exits, the men
ace becomes very grave. In many
such assemblages either the cry of
fire or the smell of smoke is apt to
be sufficient to cause a holocaust of
awful character. Even though the
building may not be on fine, the panic
ensuing, especially where the hall is
on a second or higher floor, as is not
unusual, makes possible the mutila
tion and death of scores. The com
missioner offers the following simple
rules to committees in charge of such
entertainments:
1. Carefully examine the hall and
satisfy youselves that it is of proper
construction and safe before engaging
2. Do not give out tickets of ad-j
mission to more people than the num
ber of regular seats which are fast
ened to the floor.
3. Do not permit persons to stand
in aisles or exits.
4. Under no conditions permit seats
or other constructions to be carried
into the hall and placed In the aisles I
and open places leading to the exits.
5. Hold yourselves as the respons
ible persons to quell any tendency to j
panic, and in case of fire to take
charge of, the audience in order that
the auditorium may be emptied in a
prompt manner.
In this connection, and supporting
the above suggestions. Nathan Appel,
who is an owner of Harrisburg and
other Pennsylvania theaters, with
Wilmer and Vincent, expressed the
hope that the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Labor and Industry would
adopt standards for theaters which
would make them in every respect
safe and proper for their purposes.
In doing so, however, he said he be
lieved that the question of other
places of fi.%sehiblage should be guard
ed with care' as the danger connected
therewith was in many respects an
even greater menace to the people
than in theaters. The statement made
by Mr. Appel is undoubtedly true, as
can be readily appreciated by thou
sands who attend popular public
gatherings and observe the frequent
crowding and poor exits.
Mr. Appel was attending the com
mittee of theater owners, theater em
ployes, State officials, city officials and
others, gathered at the offices of the
Department of Labor and Industry in
Harrisburg for the purpose of draw
ing up a satisfactory code for the erec
tion and conduct of theaters in this
Commonwealth.

To Have Pretty Hair
If your hair is not as soft and pretty,
or as fresh and full as that of some
friend, do as she does—give It daily at
tention, Just the same care you would
give a plant to make it healthy and
beautiful. Luxuriant hair—soft, fluffy,
thick and lustrous—ls really a matter
of care. If It Is too thin, make It grow.
If It is too dry and brittle, soften It up—•
lubricate it. If you have dandruff It Is
because the scalp Is too dry and flakes
off. Freshen up the scalp and the
dandruff disappears.
Parisian Sage, an Inexpensive tonic,
which you can get from any drug or
toilet counter, or from H. C. Kennedy,
is Just what you need—it softens the
scalp, nourishes the hair roots, imme
diately removes dandruff, and makes
the hair fluffy, lustrous and abundant.
One application will stop Itching head
and cleanse the hair of dust and ex
cessive oil. Parisian Sage takes away
the dryness and brlttleness, makes the
hair twice as abundant and beautifies
It until it is soft and lustrous.
By the use of this helpful tonic any
woman can easily make her hair soft,
fluffy and abundant. Pretty hair will
surely increase her charm and beauty.

chosen Palmer-McCormick men and
Just two men not in sympathy with
the machine as members.
The commitee filed out and the
division elections were held. Everyone
sat around waiting for the platform to
arrive when the word went out that
it never would come in and that the
State committee had handed its pre
rogative over to the hand-picked nine
and the candidates.
Flynn Denounces Morris
State Chairman Morris had hardly
finished an announcement that the
State committee had surrendered its
rights when predictions of a family
row came true with a bang. John M.
Flynn, member of the House from
Elk and a candidate for re-election,
went to Morris and said that the whole
thing was an outrage. "It is a cheat
and fraud," he shouted in tones that
could be heard all over the hall.
"You're breaking up the Democratic
party. The people won't stand for
such shenanlgin."
James I. Blakslee, Assistant Post
master General, attempted to quiet
Flynn as he stood in the midst of a
bunch of committeemen and shouted
his defiance. Singularly, Flynn stood
near Bruce Sterling, the Fayette
leader, when he shouted. But al
though what stirred Flynn was the
arbitrary refusal to allow the State
committee to discuss local option,
Sterling, one of the ablest of the ma
chine bosses and generally good as a
pacifier, never chirped.
Flynn told Blakslee- it was an out
rage and when Blakslee told him to
cool off he said: "You never heard of
the like of this. You're afraid to bring
the committee back. The Bepub
llcans never did anything like this."
Blakslee Gets One
Blakslee resumed his effort to calm
the angry man from Elk. but Flynn
said: "I'm a candidate and have some
rights. I'm a Democrat."
"So am I," said the Assistant Post
master General.
"I'm a better Democrat than you
are. I've been elected more than you
ever were. I've never lost my coun
ty," said Flynn.
The last two jabs made Blakslee's
smile fade.
"I tell you I'm a candidate and I
won't be denounced for breaking a
pledge. I won't stand for this plat
form without I know what's in it. You
brought Bryan here to denounce
pledge-breakers. You can't try that
on me, and there are others," fired
Flynn as he left.
When the committee met for the
business of receiving reports of division
elections Flynn asked Morris if the
platform was to be an expression of
the committee. Morris said that the
candidates had made platforms be
fore the primary and that it was up
to theni to make some declarations.
Flynn demanded that the State com
mittee be given a chance to have a say.
Morris did not like that and started a
move to adjourn.
"Say, give him a fair hearing. He's
a Democrat and every Democrat gets
a fair hearing," broke in C. J. Stack,
of Shenandoah, six feet .three tall and

Morris, losing his suavity.
"This is a fraud and a cheat. The
people won't stand for It." shouted
Flynn.
Morris started to adjourn again and
tho Phlladelphlans, 15 to 1 against the
machine, demanded a roll call, saying

I)i1si'»ll Rolled Out
Meanwhile Palmer and McCormick
and the candidates were meeting with
the nine a block away unaware of the
storm. The committee worked three
mortal hours. D. J. Driscoll, of
St. Mary's, tried to put in State-wldo

rolled over again.

report against the local option plank,
which got lost in the shuffle, because
no one would admit that it had been
presented.

morning newspaper and rises to heights
of invective that all rising young cam
paign orators should study.
