HOLIDAY BUYING
SHOWS GOOD
INCREASE
Cold Weather Stimulates Re-
tail Trade, Dun-Bradstreet's
Review States

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.--Colder
weather, an important stimulant
hitherto lacking, has given a fillup
to retail distribution in the north
ern half of the country and fortified
the feeling Of optimism recently
noted, according to Bradstreet's.
Holiday trade buying is mentioned
as larger also. Southern trade has
not gained in proportion, this be-
Ing variously attributed to lower
than expected prices for cotton,
holding Of the crop for better
prices, and dry, warm weather in
central Gulf and southwestern
areas. Reports from jobbers and
wholesalers are rather more
cheerful, especially so in the
northwest and in the northern tier
OF States. Reports from whole
salers and leading industries are
generally Of a faster pace in many
hnes-the best reported since last
spring, in faet-although in very
few cases equal to a year ago.
This week, at last, the best re-
ports come from the iron and steel
trades, this as regards output, buy
ing and prices, and the textiles,
silks for winter and spring, seeming
to lead in the letter line. More
cotton mills are increasing oper-
atoms, but it Is to be noted that
New England mill centers' reports
are OF some of the assumptions or
increases in output being accom-
panied by reductions in wage scales,
due to Southern competition. The
bids, leather and shoe trades are
more cheerful, although the expan-
sion in shoe buying and manufac-
turing In New Engl1nd is not as
marked as in the West.
With full allowances for gains
either in sentiment or in actual
trade since a few weeks ago. 1t
must be admitted that expansion
seems more marked in production
hines than in distribution, and also
the Improvement seems rather more
leisurely than some of the optimism
expressed would seem to. warrant.
THE increased confidence which
now prevails, has been manifested
in various ways, as in the placing

D'A NGERS OF
ELECTRIG!SH0CK

Chicago, June 25-The rules for
first aid in case Of high voltage
shock are based on the fact that the
victims lungs become paralyzed, and
success in saving life depends upon
keeping up artificial respiration until
normal breathing is resumed. Wills
Maclachlan of the National Electric
Light Association, told the American
Medical Associations convention.
"Since cases are on record of lives
saved after, three and one-half hours
of artificial respiration, four hours of
effort are recommended before arti-
fetal respiration is given up he
said. 1.-THE rules are as follows:
"The victim is cleared from the
current, either by shutting off the
current, or pulling him away with the
aid OF rubber gloves, dry clothing,
or sticks of wood, to serve as non
conductors. If it is necessary to
cut the wire, a Ratchet or implement
with a wooden handle should be used
and the operator should turn his
face away to avoid the fash. The
patient is then laid face down. with
one arm up and the other supporting
his face so that the mouth and nose
are free for breathing. Artificial
respiration should be begun at once,
while an assistant loosens the cloth
ing necessary, holds ammonia to the
victims nose and keeps him as
warm as possible. If the victim
must be moved, this should be done
in a reclining position, and the arti-
fetal respiration should be kept up.
| After he resumes breathing he should
be watched, and if he stops, artificial
| respiration should be resumed. The
prone pressure method is that in
| which the man applying first aid
| straddles the patient and presses
both hands on the small Of the VIC
TINS back, releasing the pressure
| rhythmically every two or three sec
| onds, and initiating his own breath
! ing as much as possible" -
