 PREVENTION OF FIRES

The Juneau Volunteer Fire De partment, observing Fire Prevention Week, today gave out the sevel major reasons that causes fires, a follows:

 2.-Defective Chimneys. 3--Comtustible roofs.
 4-Defective heating ap- paratus.
 5,-Matches and careless smoking
 6-Garoline, kerosene, etc. 7.-Electrical defects.
 Do not use kerosene or gasoline to start fires in stoves" is the warning "F1ammable liquids,e special ly gasoline, are treacherous in that they may be used many times without acci- dents where atmospheric conditions may not be right for an explosion. But properly mixed with air the explosive power of a pint of gasoline has been liken- ed to that of two sticks of dynamite" Out of the approximately $50 .00l

There also is uranium In almost

Now the fact Is that there was no
pledge of secrecy whatsoever con-
cerning uranium, and If any had
been found, presumably all cor

would have fled the news at once.
There was no search at any time
for this or any other strategic
mineral. To the best of my knowl-
edge only two men out of the per-
sonnel of 1000 could have recognized
uranium If they found It. They
were Drs. Arthur D. Howard and
James r. Balsley Of the United
