as Fire Prevention week was well
under way this week, took time
out Wednesday to warn Tscomans
that fires are avoidable.
"Carelessness OF smokers Is pro-

Friday when Works Commissioner

Wednesdays hearing did have
its audience, though there wasn't

machinists. auto mechanics, city

fore several hundred Tacomans at

night, said Lindbergh is "a man
divided against himself" and ex-
pressed grave concern over the
outcome of the war in Europe, no

two books - "Union Now" and

cate formation of a union among
the worlds democracies, said that
"Lindbergh is a man embarked on
a tragic enterprise. He has done
more than any other man to bring
Europe and the U. S. closer to-
gether. Yet he can't see that we
have to govern the condition he
has created"
STREET. pointed out that It
takes only six hours for bomb

land and England, n time that

Fur Sale
 Is Sfarfed
 ByYurnlan

What should be of intense inter- est to Juneau buyers starting to- morrow, is the super sale of furs to be put up for quick disposal by H. J. Yurman, manager and owner of the Yurman Fur Factory here
 Yurman stated today that he is disposing of large quantity of his stock, which was built up for considerable sales this summer
 Due to the fact that the new sales tax, on all ready-made furs and fur coats, which comes into effect in the near future, and also that he is forced to pay creditors, means that he is forced to sacri- flee the $50,0OO stock on hand which will be passed on to the public at great savings.
 Yurman, who has been furrie1 by trade for years, having been connected with some of the larg- est fur factories in the world, has one of the most complete stocks of furs and fur coats seen in Ju- neau for long time. He has man. ufactured and mailed fur coats tc people all over the continent. His stock is of the highest quality.
 The sale starts tomorrow morn- ing and will continue for 10 days until August g.
 Besides hundreds of different kinds of fur coats, there are many many styles to choose from, and of the latest patterns.
