Indianapolis, Oct. 2— Arrangements for the celebration of Fire Prevention Day, October 9th. by schools, civic organizations, county councils of defense business men and householders, have been completed by H. H. Frledley, state fire marshal. Fora number of years past. October 9th, the anniversary of the great Chicago fire of 1871, has been observed as Fire and Accident Prevention Day by proclamation of the governor. Fire Prevention Day is an important factor in the campaign for the conservation of national resources by reducing the preventable fire waste of the country: it is especially important this year, in view of the national campaign for the conservation of foodstuffs and manufactured resources. REX~THEATER FUMIGATED The Rex theater was ‘'dark 1 ’ last night, for the first time in a good many months on a week day. the reason being an order from the health commissioner to fumigate, that the public might thus be protected. Such measures are necessary and just this makes it always safe to visit these public places where so many people attend daily. The Rex was thoroughly disinfected last evening and though permission was given to open for last night’s show, the management decided to keep the show closed twentyfour hours. This assures the public perfect safety in visiting this amusement place. .o FOR 1918 AUTO PLATES Green Background, With Black Figures, the Design. Ed Jackson, secretary of state, has issued notices that the large increase in the number of automobile licenses now being issued by the secretary’s office has made necessary a revision of the forms of the applications for owner’s license. For the year 1917 about 200,000 licenses will have been issued, the secretary announced today, and the change in form is made for the purpose of expediting the issuing cf licenses, and making prompt deliveries during 1918. The statement said: “The 1918 Indiana automobile license plates wili have a green background with black figures, making an attractive plate and easily to be seen and read. Heretofore, when the numerical numbers of license plates run to 100.0 PO, alphabets were used to designate each 10,000 over 100,000.. Hereafter. numerals only will be used, which will avoid confusion in the reading of license numbers.”— Indianapolis News.
