ReUiew of Weeks
Trade in Richmond
Retail Business Somewhat I'M
proved as People Get Occr
Influenza Scare.

spanish influenza still has a deter
rent effect upon Richmond trade In
general, especially the retail business.
II is true. however that business was
better last week than tho week prcvt-
gus. More shoppers, who had been
keeping close TO home. vcnturcd out.
Many women folks, who had been
by the prevailing epidemic, discovered
that they could not put off the buying
or certain things they had on their
lists any longer, and they went forth
Just 10 do a very little shopping, but
"hcn once they got where the goods
were they could not, or did not, con-
fine themselves TO the emergency"
list they carried. but bought somc-
what lavtshlH.. All of this largely in
chants. the shoe dealers ard the sell
lets OF millinery and notions, rs COM
partG with sales the previous week
Yet II Is admitted that business in
the retail sections is not Yet normal
and is still being shortened by tho
Jobbcrs sold more goods last week
than the week before. Country mer-
chants arc still keeping away from
dcrs by mail for the goods they need
and many jobbcrs were kept fairly
busy all of tho week filling such orders.
However. business is not rushing with
them and they arc still suffering some
on account of the epidemic.
manufacturers are very shorthanded,
their working forces being greatly de-
plcted by the FLU" scare. Many work
ers are down with the disease and
the factories for fear OF being taken
down.

OF jamaica, y. Y.
After the last big drive Of the allies
in August. Lieutenant Nichols was
placed in charge Of company Of SOL
dicrs, whose task it was TO clear the
field of American dead and wounded
Although his duties did not require
him to aid the German wounded on
tho field until the Americans were dis
posed of. Lieutenant Nichols who is
only 'wenty-three years old. went TO
the assistance of German infantry
officer. who seemed more than any Of
his comrades TO hr in need OF succor
the lieutenant was in tho act of un-
fastening his canteen and giving the
wounded man drink Of water, when
tho German drew Il revolver while the
unsuspcctinS Americans face was
turned. and aimed it at the head OF
his rcscuer.
Before lac could pull the trigger,
however quick -wittcd American SER
ccant rluLged Lis bayonet through the

IN REAL ESTATE LINES
Outdoor Auction Snies Not Prohibited.

OF Richmond.

The cdct. or rather the suggcstion
that went forth last week tina; auction

cnZa epidemic had reference only to
indoor auction sales, and in no way
affected the real estate men who had
rity lois or country farms to offer for
tho high dollar. such sales always TAX

outdoor sales are rather encouraged
as is everything that keeps people in
the outdoors rs much as possible
