FAIRBANKS, Alaska, May Ire
Mobilization and future flood control
were studied by Fairbanks officials to-
day as citizens trudged back to their
abandoned homes through mud and
debris left by receding waters of the
Chena and Tanana Rivers.
Tension was relaxed as the Chena
returned to its normal Spring level
following colder weather Trains
moved to and from Fairbanks.
Householders, who fled when the
Hood spread over three-fourths of
the city, found extensive repair work
necessary before reoccupying their
homes
Observers who made an aerial sur
vey recommended construction of q
dixie from Moose Bluffs to the Tana
River to prevent future high waters
OF that stream from flooding Fair
banks. They said tremendous ice
pack still held at the Chena- -Tanana
junction below Fairbanks.
Elsewhere in Alasak rivers are
rapidly breaking up. A survey by the
Weather Bureau here showed ice has
gone out at many points on the
Tanana, Yukon and Kuskokwim. The
report said ice still is firm at Nome,
where there is % inches of snow on
the airplane landing field
Official estimates still were lacking
on loss from the Fairbanks flood, but
private construction and business
firms placed the damage near $3.50, 900.
No casualties and little illness were
reported.

is natural for hair to fall out-but it is equally
natural for new hair to replace the hair which
falls. The average healthy scalp sheds and regrows
81 hairs each day. Badness is caused, therefore,
NOT by falling hair, but by local infections (such
as dandruAD which keep the hair growing structure
from growing new hair to replace that which falls.
Thinning hair should alarm you and warn you
but should not cause you to feel that badness is
inevitable. Thinning hair can be stopped and bald
