Can someone explain?

Why do signs outside of elevators say: "In case of fire, use stairs"?

For the first six or seven years of my life, I literally thought that I could never use the elevator, in case there was a fire while I was in there.

I think its missing a word. "In THE case of fire..." or "In the case THERE IS A fire, use stairs." That would be MUCH more clear.

This is right up in level of mystery with why book indexes say, for example: Reflux esophagitis; see esophagitis, reflux. Doesn't that take MORE ink than just telling me what damn page its on?

Also, why are valuable and invaluable the same thing?

Please, can some one explain?
