Mysterious Explosion

of the dextrine department, Fairview;
and Michael Toppe, Cliffside. All
but one or two of the sufferers were
taken to North Hudson Hospital.
Sam Kormick was taken to Engle-,
wood Hospital in dangerous condi-
ton. Owing to the fact that his
shirt was open in front, he was more
seriously wounded than the others.
Thanks to the cool headedness and
alertness of the Edgewater fire de-
partment and the firemen of the
plant, these workmen were saved
from probably far greater injuries.
The fire which broke out immedi-
ately after the explosion increased
the damage directly or indirectly to
nearly $4,000.
The explosion and fire occurred in
the top floor. Here were the boxes
of dextrine (roasted starch) waiting
to be mixed with fluids for making
glue for stamps and envelopes; also
the machinery for making the dex-
trine powder. All this was practic-
ally wiped out. In the three lower
floors the corn products stored there
were ruined by the water which
rained down through the building.
The cause of the explosion is not
clear. The dextrine dust itself is
highly infammable and explosives;
as an explosive, it. is as powerful as
dynamite. The last explosion in the
dextrine department occurred fifteen
months ago. In passing through the
hoppers, if there are any metallic
substances in the dextrine, they are
withdrawn from it by the magnets
attached to the hoppers. 1t is not
believed that spark from this part
of the machinery caused the accident.
A theory advanced is that of static
electricity.
The loss from the explosion and
fire is covered by insurance. The
work of reconstruction is underway.
President Henry R. Gaul, of the
Edgewater council, when interviewed
by the "Palisadian" in regard to
Tuesdays explosion at the Corn
Products factory, said that too much
credit could not be given Edgewater's
police and fire laddies. Fire Chief
Ingold and his men were absolutely
fearless and heroic in their work of
rescuing the doomed men in the
dextrine plant. The police, too, as
usual, rendered the greatest service
in the work of rescue.
Mr.. Gaul said that the definite
cause of the disaster was unknown,

The Snow Holds

piled up snow drifts body high on
both sides to such an extent that
vehicular traffic could not use the
street to any advantage. When an
automobile undertook to take to the
racks in order to make Roadway, it
was liable, as many did, to meet a
car or another automobile, and then
there was the deuce to pay. Horse
drawn wagons, also had their troubles
in Main street, and during some of
the many blockades that took place
many Sunday School words were
used-real swear words, some of
them. An automobile was at big
disadvantage in the Main street
drifts, especially if it happened to be
in the car track area. They did not
dare try to climb the frozen banks
of snow for fear of turning over or
damaging the car. Wagon teams
that used the tracks were better off,
if empty, because they could nego-
tiate the hillocks without damage.
Anyhow, the situation put many
people to thinking about the advan-
tages of having the car tracks
through the center of the main artery
of travel in a village the size of Fort
Lee. The merchants along Main
street were sore as pups over the
snow. Many of them didn't like it.
Nobody came along and said "Boys,
the engines gone dead. We're stuck,
stung and done for; we've bought a
lemon and she'll have to be hauled
in" That would have given some
little assurance-at least it would
have been oil on troubled waters.
Down in blessed little Palisade the
borough did nothing. 1t laid down
on the job completely. "What's the
matter with the ding blasted Dor

been so indispensable in the work OF
rescue; also of the new American
La France, motor driven, city service
hook and ladder truck already re-
ferred to. Two more of the Ahrens-
Fox engines have been ordered, with
pumping capacity of $50 gallons
per minute, which are expected to
arrive soon.
A rumor that two more men had
died as result of the explosion was
without foundation.

but that as the dextrine dust is high
ly explosive, it is not unlikely that
sparks from nails in a workman's
shoes worked the havoc. The disaster
was the first opportunity which the
local department had to make use of
their new auto truck hook and ladder
apparatus which they had received
only week before. With it's extra
fifty feet of ladder, the ladies were
able to reach to the topmost floor
and to bring order out of the intense
confusion prevailing there.

The two childish and pretty models
in fall millinery for children, which
are pictured here, will make an in
slant appeal to good taste. They are
simple in construction, as they should
be, but are strictly in line with the
seasons style ideas.
The cap of fine corduroy, designed
for the little girl from three to seven
years old, shows novel management
of the crown in the square outlines
Of the drapery. 1t is simply a band
covered with corduroy which fits
about the head and supports folded
width of the corduroy to form the
crown. The points at each side of
this piece are brought down to the
band and fastened. At the right the
fastening is made under a cabochon
of silk cord, and at the left side a ca
bochon of the same sort supports
handsome silk tassel.
Hats of this description are made
up in corduroy OF various colors,
brown being a great favorite. with
blue a close second. They are lined
with soft silk and it would be hard to
point out fault in them when meas
ured by the requirements looked for

Every up-to-date girl is swathing her
neck, or preparing to, with scarf.
Called by its good old-fashioned name
it is a muffler and that is what she is
calling it. But the name is the only
hint of old-fashion about it. It be-
speaks a youthful zest for gay things
in it's vivid and queer colors. Nothing
is too noisy in design or color for the
mufder, which does not propose to be
overlooked.
There are many plain mufiers in
bright green, purple, lemon yellow,
cerise, rose color, fame color and any
other bright color that one may
choose. There are mufiers with stripes
in contrasting color or white. running
crosswise or broad lengthwise stripes,
like that shown in the picture. And
there are some having dots and cir
cles over their surface.
Muff1ers are made of wool or silk,
and nothing could be more practical
for the cool days of autumn. They
are worn with street suits or with
sweaters now, and will REINFORCE the
heavier outer coats for midwinter.
For the autoist they are often made
with cap to match. Those in the plain
colors make fetching sets of this kind
and are worn, like the sport coats, for
all sorts of, outdoor recreation. The
caps to match are either round with
a turned-back band about the face or
the Tam o'Shanter shape.
