WHISTLING WOLVES
RULED CAUSE FOR CUT
IN WOMAN'S TAX
SHEFFIELD, England, UP>—A
tax valuation court has granted
shapely, 31-year-old Mrs. Mildred
Barker a cut of two pounds ($5.60)
a year in her real estate tax be
cause of wolves.
Mrs. Barket said the wolves
were the male employes of an |
j engineering works a few yards j
from her home. She testified she
drew wolf whistles “when I hang
out the laundry, when I wash the
steps and when I sunbathe in the
summer.”
She argued, and the tax court
agreed yesterday, that this less
ened the value of the house.

years.”

When Standard’s tanker first docked in Alaska...
A great new convenience for industry was born
,
* Alaska’s growing industries needed a better fuel
supply than mountains of oil drums. Standard’s solution
was Alaska’s first full-time tankship service in 1917. Our
tanker “George Loomis” pioneered regular deliveries
right to the cusomer’s dock ... made possible the use of
economical bulk storage tanks.
Tbday as many as eight Standard tankers ply Alaskan
waters in busy months. One, the “Alaska Standard is on
year ’round duty, supplying more than 100 communities
with a complete line of oil products... plus helpful extras,
such as delivering overdue mail. And to serve even better,
the same friendly crew will soon call in a new and larger
“Alaska Standard” now being built. ,
