"Well, what's the solution?" asked
the pessimist.
"BUY. BUY NOW. Don't wait.
Be an optimist. Say to yourself, 'busi-
ness is good, but l can always help to
make it better, and / will Find out
your needs, make a list of the things
you have put off buying and GO OUT
AND BUY THEM NOW. That's the
solution. The merchant cannot invest
his money in new goods unless he has
it to pay to the manufacturer when
his bills come due, and the nanufact-
urer in tu,C1 cannot buy the, necessary
raw materials if the money is not

"By Jove!" answered the pessimist

You are right, the depression IS IN

should ALL take to heart, for business
is alright--there is plenty of it ev-

GET 1T. There is no panic in busi-

things in the dark"
Conditions at the present time are
nothing like they were during the
dark months at the close of 1914 i'm
mediately after Germany had declared
war on the World. Many of US still
remember. although many Of US have
forgot entirely that business then was
at a standstill. Exports had dropped
to virtually nothing and domestic
sales were "held up" because mer-
chants were afraid to buy thru not
knowing what the future held for
them.
But business b1D pick up as we
all know, and never before in the his

an orgy Of buying. It could not last,
we all know that. but we hoped against

During that "orgv" period mer-

THEIR HoMES-6o LIE IN
STREET UNCONSCIOUS.
VETERANS OF WAR USE MASKS
New York Tenement Dwellers Tenn.
Porarily Blinded, Half ParaIyzed
and Choking Flee After
the Explosion.

New York.-Six hundred thousand
cubic feet of ammonia gas spread over
the streets when n cylinder head In a
refrigerating machine at the Knicker-
booker Ice COmpany's plant blew out.
Choking and half paralyzed by the
dense blanket of acrid fumes, more
than 800 persons fed their homes,
temporarily blinded, and at one time
some 60 lay unconscious In the streets.
Most Of those overcome revived
quickly in the open air. but a few who
suffered severely from inhalatIOns
were removed to hospitals. Infants In
arms proved peculiarly susceptible to
the gas and they, as we'll as many
older persons, saught unaware in their
beds in nearby tenements, would have
died had Ii not been for the gallant
rescue work Of the veterans of the
18th Division of New York.
Jumping from their beds at the first
bang and roar Of the explosion that
hurled the cylinder head against a wall
Of the plant, these young fellows
harked back to the emergency train
ing of their days In France.
Before they could more than half
ciothe themselves, they found that

clouds as the big pump with the open
cylinder head kept churning II out.
would prove too much for those who
were unprotected. and could not reach
the street very quickly.
Policemen, despite brave efforts to
supplement the work of ex-sOldiers and
marines. were baffled and driven back
as the atmosphere grew even thicker,
and for time the former service men
in their gas masks alone bore the brunt
of succoring those unable to help them
selves.
workers at the plant jumped for a
gas valve that would have shut off the
flow the instant they saw or heard the
explosion. But the thick column OF
vaporizing liquid ammonia, bursting
into clouds that spread In every dlrec-
ton, was too much for them. without
geRing near the valve they had to fee
for their lives. Some who tarried n
second too long found even the task
OF reaching the door too much for
them. and jumped from the nearest
windows.
The pumping machine which lost tho
cylinder head was part Of an ice ma
chine Pnd was connected at the time
with 20 drums Of liquid ammonia, each
100 pounds, which was
being circulated through the refrig-
Grating machinery at a pressure Of 100
pounds TO the square inch. William
