     § 1924.  Construction of titles, preambles, provisos,
              exceptions and headings.
        The title and preamble of a statute may be considered in the
     construction thereof. Provisos shall be construed to limit
     rather than to extend the operation of the clauses to which they
     refer. Exceptions expressed in a statute shall be construed to
     exclude all others. The headings prefixed to titles, parts,
     articles, chapters, sections and other divisions of a statute
     shall not be considered to control but may be used to aid in the
     construction thereof.
