TWO OVERCOME IN
fire At HOSPITAL
Chief Noble CritiCizeS Manner
Of Notifying Fire Dept.

Axel Overstrom of Hawkins street,
chief engineer at the New Britain
General hospital. and his son. Har-
Old a fireman at the institution,
we're overcome by coal gas fumes
last night about o'clock while bat |
thing fire in coal pile at the hos ;
ptal. Both men were revived by
| pulmotors that we're rushed to the
hospital by the police, but both Gre
i'll today from the effects of the poi
sonous gases, Their condition is not
| serious.
The fire in the coal pile vas
caused by spontaneous combustion.
and occurred while the fire depart
ment was fighting the flames at St.
Joseph's convent or South Main
street. Happening as 1t did, Chief
William J. Noble OF the fire depart
ment said that the circumstances
surrounding the fire and the manner
in which the department was noti- !
fled emphasized two very important
matters. -
After the elder Overstrom dscov-
cred smoke coming from the coal
pile, he and his son atter1p pied to ex-
Il tinguish 1t themselves by shovelling
4 the coal out of the large bin In
which 1t had been placed. Seeing
that nothing was being accom-
plished, Overstrom tried TO call fire
/ headquarters. AS the entire detail at
headquarters had answered the sec
ond alarm for the fire at st. Joseph
convent, there was nobody there 10
answer the hospital call. After some
time, however, a young man happen
ed to hear the bell on the switch
board, and answered.
| ,Overstrom said that he wanted to
speak to one OF the deputy chiefs
and was told that they were at the
South Main street fire. Overstrom
then called the rectory of st. Jo-
seph's church and requested that
they call the deputy chief to the
phone. After some time the message
was communicated and the call an
swered. 1t was then discovered that
the coal pile was on fire. Engine Co.
was sent to the hospital and line
of hose was turned onto the blazing
4 pile.
\ Chief Noble said that the incident
: clearly demonstrated the necessity
Z of having a man detailed at oil times
to the switchboard at fire headquar-
5 ters. He said that If the fire at the
hospital had been much more ser
4 ious than 1t was, there still would
not have been anyone at headquar-
tiers to receive the alarm. The de-
partment has asked for several
years that an appropriation be made
for two men to work on the switch
board, but they have not received It.
Overstrom told Chief Noble this
morning that he called up in the
first place to receive advice on how
10 put out the fire in the coal pile.
but while he was attempting to get
the advice, the coal burst out into
.. flames. When he returned to 1t, he
4 found that his son had been render
ed unconscious by the coal gas, and
he himself was later overcome. The
n fire caused only a slight damage to
VI the coal.

One portion of the roof has the
motors which work the elevators.
They are always clicking away about
their mysterious business, throwing
out little flashes of green now and
then, invisible and silent in so far as
those riding the elevators are concern
ed, but extremely active and efficient
up there all alone.
This gives an idea of the scope of
the new Hechts.
Where a few years ago only four
or five hundred employees worked be
hind counters, three times that num-
ber will now be employed. Where
previously only small sections We're
occupied by the display counters and
sales desks, now large spaces are
given over to these features. Where
Il comparatively small building carried
on the business previously, now a
large edifice has taken its stand.
Hecht's has passed through a stage
of evolution. 1t Is no longer the spe-
cialty shop it was in the pre-war vii
lagelike Washington. 1t is a repre-
sentative department store in metro

An experiment in special compressed
lir carrier tubes is being worked out
with the aim OF reaching the point
where a shopper will never wait more
han two minutes for change or for
sales slip to so through the routine OF
custom from the sales person to the
central office and back again.
These are all features which will es-
ape the eye of the casual observer.
Sut there is enough to occupy three
or four hours of attention to be seen
n the store itself.
Various schemes of woodwork fix
lures have been carried out. On the
ground floor the walnut trim stands
out, on the second floor in the men s
department natural oak is the gen
eral design; whereas elsewhere enam-
eled woodwork embraces the design OF
the fixtures.
Indirect Lighting System.
The lighting is by the indirect sys-
tenn and is furnished by high candle
powered bulbs in such d way as to
almost escape observation because of
its natural harmony with the rest
of the store The illumination, not
only from the windows, but from the
sent checrfully bright atmosphere for
shoppers.
At the bottom of the new building
is the new basement store, compris-
ing approximately 10000 square feet.

The second floor is the youngsters

for children from the cradle TO high
school age will be found. The bar
Der shop, which includes 10 chairs
with hobby horses affixed, is on this
floor. An innovation is the place
ment of a dozen little desks at which
children may amuse themselves with
pencil and paper and pictures while
waiting their turn in the BARRIERS
chair, much in the same manner in
which their daddies are prone to
read sporting sheets while waiting

OF the chair to give up his seat. The
department of childrents clothing is
double its former capacity. A de-
partment for nursery furniture also
occupies this floor.
On the second floor of the adjoining
old building is the mems clothing de-
partment for suits and overcoats.
This department is set off with a spe-
cial English room, in which imported

of the service for men is the method
whereby all mems furnishings are
segregated from the general bulk OF
merchandise. The two floors of the

the masculine and special elevator

to do their shopping without becoming
parts of the general shopping crowd.
Toyland, a distinct innovation for

where items of Santa Claus distribu-
tions from bicycles to dolls will be on
display. On the north side of this

coats and for furs, for women's suits,
