DRAW UP AT CURB WHEN YOU
HEAR FIRE ALARM IS CHIEFS
WARNING TO DRIVERS OF CITY

On the approach of a fire appara-
tus the driver Of any vehicle must
draw up as close as possible to the
curb and stop" Thus reads section
1 Of the city ordinance Of Chickasha
number 45O.
That city officials are determined
that the fire ordinance must be en-.
forced was evidenced this morning
by the fact that Luther Johnson was
fined five dollars on a charge of him
dering the fire department and the
case of John Pyle who had been ar
rested on like charge, was contin-
ued.
George Gattis, chief of the fire
department, in commenting on the
ordinance and the fire situation in
general, stated that drivers of vehi-
cles should not only draw up as close
ly to the curb as possible when a
fire alarm had been sounded, but
they should not move until all fire
fighting apparatus had passed in or
der that they might not only insure
their own safety but the safety Of
the fire department as well. Neither
should the drivers of vehicles APP
proach closer than one and one-half
blocks to a fire the chief stated for
in so doing tsey would not only ham
per the operations of the firemen and
lessen the mems ability to do effec-
tive work, but they would endanger
their own lives.
1t was also pointed out by the
chief that it was a violation of the
ordinance for drivers to park their
vehicles within ten feet of fire hy-
drant
another danger the people Of the
city do not fully appreciate Mr.. Cat
tis continued, "is that of giving in
sufficient information in reporting
fire. They should call the operator
in the usual way and when asked
the number desired they should
state, for instance, there is a fire at
All North Fortieth street. The OPP
orator would then reply, I'll connect
you with the fire department. and
the one reporting the fire when an
swered by a member of the depart
ment should repeat the same data
that was given the telephone opera
tor After the operator had been
given the location of the fire she
could then report it to the fire de-
partment herself should the one re-
porting the fire be forced from the
telephone
people should also be more care
full in burning grass this time Of year
when we have 50 many high winds
and they should inspect their flues
and rebuild the tops of chimneys
and flues that have been blown off.
Neither should they stop there. They
should begin at once to remove all
rubbish and worthless combustible
materials from their premises for
such trash is nothing less than a
menace"

foth town and farm. there is vast field for the sale of such book. Retail book dealers will find in it a book that supplies long felt want among builders and others who are interested in con- crete since, so far as we know, it is the cnly book on the market today that covers cement and concrete construction in all its phases. It not only tells of the different kinds of structures that can be made of concrete but it tells how to make them.
 And not to builders alone is this book of inestimable value. It is unquestion- ably the most authentic reference book published on this subject and as such should be in every library in the coun- try.
 As a text book for manual training schools it has no rival. The instructions are explicit and easy to comprehend and the 2o0 drawings and photographs which Mir Campbell has provided to illustrate the different kinds and stages of con- CT etc construction enable the student to clearly and readily understand the in- structions given.

LAWN OF CEMENT

Painted Green Once a Year, 1t Serves As Substi-

Los Angeles, Cal, June 26-A lawn that is not lawn, but looks like a lawn and is said by it's owner to be bet ter than a lawn-a waterless, mowerless, weedless, gopgherless lawn--in short, a cement lawn" painted grass green, has made its appearance in front of q Los Angeles bungalow
 Mrs. A. c. Woodward. inventor and owner. says it saved time, money and worry. She never has to water it; she never has to cut it: it is always dry enough to sit on-and it needs painting only once a year.
 She has circular holes cut through the lawn and in them and along the edges she has flowers planted
 T invented the cement lawn she said because of trouble I had in getting a man to take care of my old grass lawn, It cost only s65
 You don't know what blessing it is,'' she continued. Do you know. believe there would be much less unhappiness in married life if the husband would use a cement instead of a grass lawn and so avoid having to come home after work and run an old lawn mower over the front yard every night.

IS NOW POPULAR
 IN NEW YORK TO Y OWN APARTMENTS
By Associated Press

New York, June T.-An own your swing here Two late evidences of it's growing strength are the purchase by the tenants for &, 800, 900 of an apart inent house on Fifth avenue and the starting of construction on a co-opera tive apartment on Park avenue which is to cost $4,O00,00
 Just the other day it was announced that Woodrow Court, an apartment house occupying the entire block front on upper Broadway, between 169th and roth streets, had been sold for s600.O00 to the fifty-three families residing in the structure. This is said to be the first dealS of such magnitude to be 100 per cent cooperative and in which ten- ants of moderate means have partici- pated In this deal each tenant only put up a few thousands dollars in cash. In the Fifth avenue transaction each tenant was called upon for sl50.00O in cash.
 Starting about eight months ago. the transactions in cooperative buying of apartments have mounted in volume un- til they are presently fixture of realty dealings and all of the larger real estate agencies maintain special departments in which the employees do nothing else but handle the sales of apartment houses to tenants. This is generally q proof itable transaction for the owner, for tenants are willing to pay more to re- tain their homes than spectators or investors would pay. and it is said to be profitable for the tenants in that they assure themselves of homes at a cost of only about seven years average rentals.
 Tenants are approached both individ- ually and through mass meetings when agents have apartment houses to offer. The tenants are given a certain length of time to decide and If they wish to take the property the agents form a to own the building to which only tenants may subscribe to stock. The purchaser of the stock gets 99- year lease.
 The shortage of office and commer- cial space has been only~-second to that for housing purposes in New York and co operative purchasing of office and loft buildings by tenants has begun, al- though it has not as yet reached the proportions of apartment purchasing by tenants. Transactions in business build iEgs differ from apartment sales in that while cooperative buying is done, it is seldom 100 per cent so. The usual deal involves the purchase by club of half dozen or so business. tenants. who apportion the space among themselves and then lease the remainder. The man. agement in both cases is generally vest ed in some well known agent under the direction of the tenant owners.

inspectors to convince those officials that they can easily care for incoming dependents, according to a statement made public here by Col. Daniel L. Por- ter, supervising internal revenue agent of the federal income tax collecting serv- ice.
 Forty-five agents have been kept busy at the piers and elsewhere in the city collecting the millions from outgoing aliens A small squad in bureau es- tablished close by the courts of special inquiry at the Ellis Island station lend attentive ears to the boasts of the aliens
 For the months of February, March and April the reports show that more than $S0,O00 was collected at Ellis Island from alien tax dodgers, while three times tfat amount was traced to other locali- ties and the collectors there notified The reports for May are not yet filed, but the amount collected is said to have increased with the increasing flow of immieT Tation.
 "A resident alien" explained Colonel Porter. "goes to the immigration station to sponsor a relative or friend for ad- mittance to this country, knowing the governments requirements that a re- sponsible person must guarantee that the imrnigrant will not become a public charge. The resident alien goes pre- pared to state on oath that his income is ample to safeguard the public against such dependents. Whether or not this resident alien has paid his income tax becomes the immediate subject of inter- est for our agents. They call the de- linquent into a conference and, after all lowing such exemptions as he may be entitled to, levy tax on the remainder of his sworn statement of income.
 When the tax dodger is a resident of some city or town not in our district his sworn statement is forwarded to the local collectors, who make the collec- tions. In other cases they are made here and the money sent to the collector of the district wherein the tax dodger resides. Most monies collected range in amounts of from $15 to $500 and repre- sent taxes due the government on small business concerns and on Mages."
