FIRE CHIEF GIVES
hints ON HOW YOU
Can HELP AT FIRES

FAIRBANKS-Fire Chief Eugene
Woodcox of Fairbanks is apparently
having trouble with spectators
dashing to the scene of a fire and
hindering the work of his smoke
eaters.
In recent notice to the public,
the chief refrained from denounc-
ing the public in a direct manner,
but his instructions were SO full
of sarcasm that they should prove
effective.
This is what he wrote:
How to Help the Fairbanks
Fire Department.
GAS soon as the fire alarm starts
sounding, jump into your car and
get it started.
while you are backing out of
your yard, have your wife look
for smoke so you can know which
way to go.
IF you have two cars, have
some other member of your family
bring the other one with all pos
sible speed. Thus, you can park
one on each side of the street at
the scene of the fire. This will en-
able your neighbor, who should
be right behind you, to park in
the middle.
Whatever, you do, don't fail
! to get to the fire before the fire
truck does this is imperative).
in case you are late, and can't
get right up to the fire dash mad
ly back and forth on the street in
the vicinity.
| I'm case you are the first one
there, dash up to the house and
break out all of the windows,
open the doors, to let the smoke
| out
I'm the event that you suddenly
decide to leave and find yourself
hemmed in by other cars, this is
the procedure to follow: Run your
car madly ahead and back a few
times until you finally run over the
fire hose. This important move
should always be accompanied by
continuously blowing your horn.
Don't pay any attention to

before, your chances for business or
social success are enhanced by a
wel-groomed, handsome appearance.
That's why more and more men, all
over the world, are making it
point to shave every day.
But daily shaving is hard on the
face. Your razor's harsh action tends
to dry out the skin, leaving it old
looking, wrinkled and raw.

developed Gider-a wonderful new
brushless shaving cream that con-
tains a special notwithstanding in

Gehrmann, who will be married
next week, is passing up the 62d

There's nothing to It," said
Williams. Maybe the talk started

DETROIT. June 22.-The re-
awakened Mats. who temporarily
have chilled Detroit's pennant
fever behind capable Cuban
pitching. today sought a sweep
of the 3-game series with the
league leading Tigers.
Having exhausted his supply Of
Cuban pitchers, Bucky Harris
turned to Bob Kuzava. a left
handler of Polish extraction. in
an effort TO upset the shocked
Tigers again. Dizzy Trout. twice
triumphant against the Mats. was
to pitch for Detroit.
The Mats, who had q Ais rec
ord against Detroit last year.
were aiming for their fifth win
in II games with the Tigers this
season after Sandalio Consuegra
coasted to a 1874 victory yester-
day. 1t was the biggest run pro-
duction Of the year for the Wash
ington club.
Newhouser Gets II Early.
Consuegra wasn't spectacular
in his shit conquest. which fol-
lowed Conrado Marrero's 4-hit
effort Of Tuesday night, but he
was more than adequate as the
Mats mauled Hal Newhouser for
eight runs and added four more
of Paul Rogovin.
There is some kidding talk in
Detroit Of putting the CubanS on
a public enemy" list, for Marrero
now owns two victories over the
Tigers, a three-hitter as well as
his four hitter.
Consuegra, who joined the club
only two weeks ago. won his Sec
ond victory despite eight walks.
The Mats got the benefit Of nine
bases on balls themselves. They
also splattered Detroit pitching
for IA hits. including Sam Mele's
nth homer and a bases-loaded
