GIRL NEARLY DEAD
 FROM ESCAPING GAS
Blanche Waters, A, Saved by
 Fire Dept. Pulmotor

Unfamiliar with the operation of a special type of gas cock and failure to realize that the mechanism had become so worn as to turn from closed to open with little effort and almost without being realized. Blanche Waters, aged IA, was par tially asphyxiated and rendered des- perately ill by escaping illuminating gas in a tenement at S7 Elm street early today. Timely discovery of the fumes by others in the apartment and -tranSfer of the victim to the open air pending the arrival of expert atten- tion Is credited with having saved the life of the patient. An emergency call to police headquarters about
 2:46 o'clock this morning resulted in the ambulance being rushed to the scene in charge of Attendant Gustav
 Hellberg and notification being given
 Fire Chief Robert M. Dame. With his chauffeur, Edward J. Woods. the
 latter made speedy response to the
 scene, the departments pulmotor with extra oxygen containers being carried. Quick and efhcient work
 under the supervision of Chief Dame
 sufiiced to bring about partial re-
 covery of the patient. Dr. John
 Purney took charge later, adminis- tered treatment and, late this after
 noon, reported the girl will recover
 with practically no i'll effects of her experience.
 The apartments at the Elm street address were recently vacated and moved into yesterday. Tired out by the labors of moving. members of the family retired early. Miss Waters.
 daughter of close friend and neigh bor of the new tenants was to occupy a bed for the night because her mother had company. She aided in preliminary settling of furniture and was weary when she retired. To relatives. she admitted that she sup posed the gas cock had be$n turned off. It had been turned past the closed mark, allowing q small escape of the deadly gas. The amount was not sufficient to cause immediate and complete asphyxiation. But for this l fact it is believed she would have ! been beyond human aid before dis [ Fcovery.

TONE OF STENGTH
 IN DAYS TRADES
Short Period of Liquidation Fol-
 lowed by Firnlness

Wall Street-EQuipments and other war Aupply stocks made marked re- coveries at the opening of today's trading from their depression at yes- terday's late dealings. Advances of 1 to points were scored by the inde- pendent steel group, Central Leather. Industrial Alcohol, distillers' securi- ties. Mexican Petroleum, Baldwin Locomotive. Atlantic Gulf and West Indies, Pacific Mail, American Sugar and Beet Sugar. U. S. Steel soon rose a point on further large transactions and Bethlehem Steel responded in like measure Less activity was shown by specialties and rails were again apathetic.
 Further realizing sales and the placing of fresh short contracts inn parted an uncertain tone to the trad ing of the morning. U. S. Steel and associated industrials denoted addi- tional liquidation for profits. Rails and motors remained under restraint and few equipments lost their gains. Alcohol, shippings, Central Leather and sugars, together with minor srecialties, made pronounced ad- vances over initial quotations. At noon firmer tendencies prevailed. Bonds were irregular.
 Minor war shares formed the bulk of the midday dealings. American woolen, Corn Products, National Enamelling. hide and leather and Continental Can rose to points. Standard stocks were more susceptible to offerings, alcohol being the notable exception.
 Closing-Rails rose briskly in the last hour on the encouraging crop report and high-priced specialttes supplemented previous gain alcohol leading that group. The closing was strong.
 Sales approximated 1,100,O0O shares.
