MERCHANTS ADOPT
RECOMMENDATIONS

After a good deal of argument and
Misunderstanding the Retail Mer-
chants Bureau of the Chamber Of
Commerce adopted a series of resolu-
tions drawn up by a specially appoint
ed committee relative to the celebra-
ton of the illumination Of AleXan-
dria's White Way and to make the
week of this event known as Subur-
ban Week in interest of getting in
close touch with people of the sur
rounding districts, last night at a
special meeting which was presided
over by r f. Knight, president of
the Chamber of Commerce.
The resolutions adopted provided
for series of boost trips to the
neighboring towns in interest Of Gre
ating a closer feeling Of fellowship
between the merchants Of the city
and the residents of these various
territories.
In the celebration of Suburban
Week in conjunction with the first IL
Elimination Of the White Way the
committee proposes to have the mer-
chants make this a week of special
sales and to let the festive spirit
reign supreme throughout.
No definite action on these recon-
mendations could be taken, however,
because at some previous meeting it
had been decided to let the board Of
directors of the Chamber of Com
merce take charge Of the celebration.
This. in that event, means that the
action already taken by the Retail
Merchants will be considered onlv as
recommendation to the higher body
The recommendation of this COM
mittee, appointed to arrange pro
gr m for effecting closer relation
ship with the OUTLYING districts, also
included the establishment of what is
to be known as cooperative adSer-
tising medium to be distributed
among the people of the suburbs and
throughout Fairfax and Arlington
Counties
The board of directors will meet
early next month and it is thought
they will then consider the action al
ready taken.

Apartment House Burns
Ana Occupants Are Ter
rified Early Today
II MORE INJURED
Exits Were Cut OF by Fire-Frantic
Woman Throws Child From Win
dOw-Twenty-FOur Families are
Homeless Today.

New York, Sept. 30.-With seven
persons dead, several more dying, and
II others suffering from burns and
broken bones, blackened ruins of an
uptown apartment house were search
ed today for additional victims of the
fire which swept through it shortly
after midnight.
The dead who have not yet been
identified are man, a woman, two
boys and three others so severely
charred it could not be ascertained
whether they were children or adults.
Heart rending scenes were witness
ed as the flames roared through the
five story apartment, which housed
"a families. The building stood on
109th Street near Broadway. The
alarm was turned in by policeman.
Fire quickly cut all exits. The steel
fire escape became red hot. Flames
and smoke poured from all windows
and above the roar of the blaze and
the clangor of apparatus rose the
shrieks of the frenZied tenants, who
crowded every window, their forms
silhouetted against the fire behind
them.
AS the crowd watched a middle
aged woman, clad in her night gown
hurled herself from a window to the
street. A moment later a baby hit
the sidewalk beside her. It's mother
had thrown it, to save it from worse
fate in the flames.
Policemen and fire swarmed up the
the extension ladders, and risked
their lives again and again to bring
down the people to safety, while the
dense crowd massed below watching
the real life drama, cheerel exciting
reScues.
One man, driven from his apart
ment by the scOrching heat, crouched
on the fire escape and there died az
the fire burst through the window.
His huddled form was still on the
fire escape at dawn.
A boy was seen standing on
window sill, with the glare getting
brighter and brighter behind him. He
waited as long as he could then, as
a groan swept the crowd, he plunged
down from the fifth story and was
instantly killed.
Firemen put ladders against the
building with the al d of water
screen and in this manner managed
to carry down many who otherwise
would have perished The nightclothes
of those carried to safety were
smouldering, and seven of them were
found to be so terribly burned it is
feared they cannot survive.
Three of the fremen who engaged
in this rescue work succumbed to the
heat and were taken to hospitals, with
blistered hands and faces.
There were pitiful episodes when
those who had been saved began hunt
ing their loved ones, crying their
names again and again. and search
ig frenziedlv through the crowds not
knowing whether their people had
been saved, or whether thev were
still in the building which had become
a fierv tomb.
Ambulances from five hospitals
were called to carry the injured and
police reserves from three stations
held back the throng. Surgeons and
nurses established temporary first aid
stations on the sidewalk, where the
injured of the victims were cared
for as rapidly as they were borne to
safety.

Washington, Sept. 30.-The i'm
portation of 132,000,000 smokes from
Germany into The Netherlands dur
ing the past five months has caused
many factories in the latter country
to close down.
In a report to the Department Of
Commerce, U. S. commercial attache
Adams states that during the year
1913 there were 100000 cigars i'm
ported into The Netherlands, of which
100000 came from Germany. In
1921 the total imports were 12l ,300,-
600 cigars, Germany supplying 62,-
100000. The enormous increase in
these imports from Germany is receal
ed by the figures for the first five
months of 1922, during which period
the total number of cigars import
ed amounted to 1873 100000, of which
132,600,000 came from Germany.
The increase in the number of un-
employed in the Dutch cigar industry
is proportional to the increase in the
cigar imports into The Netherlands.
A number of Dutch cigar manu-
facturers have had to close down
their factories. With a view to rem
edying this situation, the Dutch Par
Lament is being urged to adopt mea-
sures toward the institution of pro-
hibition on the importation of cigars
into this country.

The wrist watch for men is going
out Of style in Birmingham and in its
place the pocket style watch is be-
coming popular. Consul Jewell sends
this intelligence in a report to the
Department of Commerce. The heavy
timepiece is not much in demand in
Birmingham, however, the chief call
being for what are known as dress
watches with thin cases. The market
fer cheap watches is falling off, while
the demand for the better class of
goods is increasing.
The works of three well known
watches of American manufacture
with long sustained regulations are
imported into Birmingham in con-
siderable quantities.
There is little change in the market
for ladies' watches, the wrist style
still being popular. Gold cases are
far more in demand than platinum
and the gold expanding wristlet is
coming more into favor than the
leather or suede wristlet.

1t appears that difficulties are being
encountered by South African i'm

regulations governing disinfectiCn.
The regulations as administered by
the medical officer of health for the
Union reqrire that a certificate of
sufficient disinfection must be fIU'
nished by a recognized public author
ity at the port of shipment or point of
origin of the package or packages.
The certificate must state the articles
are clean and have been sufficiently
disinfected to the satisfaction of such
authority. 1t must further state in
detail the method Of disinfection and
the apparatus used, together with a
certificate or other satisfactory evid
ence that since the issue of the GER
tificate of disinfection the package
has not been opened nor its contents
tampered with in any way.
