Best Savings Incentive

The Christmas Club Membership it. self proves that it is the very best in centive to systematic saving, and the small percentage that have dropped out during the past year is really very gratifying.
 Should any reader regret that none of this large accumulation of money is his, he need not mourn over the fact, but should realize that he has another chance coming.
 Our Christmas Club for 1920 will soon be ready for membership, and will be much larger than the one now drawing to close. The best of ac- commodations for handling the de- partment will be afforded during the coming year.

EXPLOSION At
CHEMICAL CO.
Chemicals Being Tested for
Government, Explode, Caus-
Ina Much Excitement

Considerable CONSERVATION was
caused last night when about GAS
o'clock a loud report was heard. I'M
mediately there was great excitement:
people ran out of their houses and
many queries were asked as to what
had happened. Some thought that an
other Gillespie explosion was about
to take place, but 1t was soon learned
that a ten gallon container aprtly fill
ed with volitile substance, the snalyti-
cal qualities of which have not been
definitely ascertained, had burst in the
yard adjoining the research depart
ment of the Roessler & Hasslacher
Chemical Company.
There were many rumors flying
around to the effect that poisonous
gases were caused by the explosion
and 1t was dangerous for persons to
approach too near the concern. An
other report that the liquid recepta-
Gle had blown over the top OF tve
story building in the Bakelite group,
but this was not confirmed at the
plant this morning. However, the
lid of the can was found on Willock's S
lane about 100 yards from the lot In
which the explosion occurred. NO one
was in the vicinity of the yard when
the tank went off, but employees OF the
factory who investigated later found
that a similar container next to II was
intact, q barrel full of chemicals had
been blown over and a carboy of sui
phuric acid so that the liquid seeped
out on the ground.
Following is a statement issued this
morning by Colby Dill. assistant to the
second vice president. and Jean Du
Bois. factory business manager:
"A ten gallon can OF material
stored next to the research building
burst, due to the heating effect OF the
sun and caused quite a little excite
ment in the neigrborhood.
The can was partly filled with some
volitile liquid that was being tested
preparatory to being furnished to one
of the departments of the United
States government. The tests have
been completed and there is no more
of that material at the plant now. This
mixture has never been made COM
mercially and the composition OF the
material has not been determined"
