THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, MAY 17, 1937. - ARBANKSREADY TONOPUPFLOD Rehabilitation and Control Measures Studied as Wa- ters Recede. By the Associated Press. FAIRBANKS, Alaska, May 17.—Re- habilitation 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 flood 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 a dike from Moose Bluffs to the Tana River to prevent future high waters of that stream from flooding Fair- banks. They said a 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 23 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 $650,000. No casualties and little illness were reported. Malaria Epidemic Feared. Fear of a malaria epidemic has caused health officials of the Trans- vaal in South Africa to gather qui- nine from every available source. Thrdng Packs Church to Hear Farmer Preach Own “Funeral” Wade Millman, 88, of Coatesville, Ind., as he preached his own funeral sermon yesterday. He is standing beside the coffin he built for himself. By the Associated Press. COATESVILLE, Ind, May 17— The folks around Coatesville looked bach on the “funeral” of Wade Mill- man today without tears because Millman, eccentric 88-year-old farmer, was still very much alive. Attracted by the unusual, hundreds of persons crowded into the little frame Canaan Church northwest of here or in the yard around it yester- day to hear Millman preach his own “sermon” while standing behind & S YOUR scalp replacing the hair which falls or is your hair getting thinner and thinner at the (1) temples, (2) frontal point, or (3) crown? It 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. Baldness is caused, therefore, NOT by falling hair, but by local infections (such as dandruff) 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 baldness is inevitable. Thinning hair can be stopped and bald- % E « LEaDIN T &-SCALP-S L 1] e D - ’ A) v \ Separate Departments for Men ond Women ness can be avoided if you consult a Thomas specialist.

The “services” were & bedlam of noise, even during the 42 minutes Millman talked. Infants cried, neighbors chat- ted and youths shouted to each other from scattered sections of the crowd. Friends wondered today what awaited the elderly farmer—actual death or another marriage. After his wife died recently Mill- man was so overcome he suffered & tend her funeral services. He went ahead, however, with plans for his own “funeral.” Appearing before the crowd yester- day for his sermon, he apologized for not wearing & collar and tie. “I haven't been able to find & col- lar or tie since my wife died—in fact, I can’t find anything any more,” he said. A voice from the crowd interrupted him: “Why don’t you find a new woman?” “Maybe I will,” he retorted. Near Millman as he spoke were six pallbearers, each of whom he had paid $5 in advance. A church pastor and an undertaker also participated. When he first planned the funeral, Miliman said he did not want either & minister or an undertaker at his real funeral. Yesterday he said: “I don’t care if a hundred preachers are there.” The reason for his change of atti- tude, he sald, were several of hundreds’ of letters he has received which con- demned his stand against ministers. —_— BREWERS’ STRING ENDED ‘Win Dozen Straight, Then Bow to Tigers’ Cast-Off Hurler.
