STORES TO STAY open
ON SATURDAY nights
Merchants Adopt Schedule
Of Hours ut c. Of G.
Meeting

New Britain stores will remain
open Saturday nights this summer.
according to action taken vt = meet
iny Of the merchants in the Cham
bsr OF Commerce this morning. The
general attitude seemed to be that
the merchants would prefer to aban-
don the Saturday night closing en-
tirciy or maintain the same sched-
ule throughout the entire year. The
meeting today was tho session ad-
journed from last Friday because Of
the lack Of . quorum.
Eighteen minutes after President
steve Robb Of the mercantile bureau
called the meeting to order. the Sat
urday night issue had been settled,
and 1t was voted to keep open Sat
urday nights this summer. with the
possibility that a move may be
started, to close Saturday nights The
whole year round next year.
The discussion was opened by Mr..
Robb. who submitted the schedule
a proposed by the committee for
ratification. George H. Dyson made
q motion. seconded by several. that
each item be taken up separately
Mr.. .Dyson's motion was withdrawn
in favor of q motion by 8. N. David
son that the entire schedule be rati-
hed. Mr.. Dyson then offered IN
amendment that the recommended
change from Saturday to Friday
night closing be changed to permit
the stores to close Saturday nfghts
q they did last year.
Mr.. Davidson opposed the amend
ment. He said his firm was in favor
Of closing the stores on Saturday
night throughout the whole year. but
had found that the change from
summer to winter schedule was con.
fussng to the public. He said he fell
he represented the sentiments oi
about 90 per cent OF the merchant
when he objected to one arrange
ment in summer and another ln
winter.
Mr.. Dyson said he would be
willing to start closing Saturday
nights the whole year right now. but
Mr.. Davidson added that his Id a
was not to close Saturday and re.
main open Friday but to close every
night.
Others present felt that Saturday

hours.
 The ones who died immediately,
 suCcumbcd probably to the effects of carhon monoXidc, cyanide gases and nitric fumes. They died, as has
 been described in previous articles
 in this series, by the immediate shutting off of the breathing and complete asphyXia.
 The second group who died were
 extremely interesting because at first
 they seemed to be unharmed Some
 Of them went home and suddenly became ill q few hours later and died before they could be greatly helped. When their lungs were ex- amincd after death they were found
 to be full Of fluid, and the blood
 vas found to be thiCkcned.
 The substance causing the delay
 ed poisoning of this character was nitrogen dioXidc. d dark reddish
 brown gas. This is perhaps the most dangerous and insidious of all gases.
 When nitric acid falls on anything organic, nitric oxide is developed and
 this quickly takes up oxygen from the air, forming nitrogen dioXide or nitrogen tetroxide. Nitric acid will attack wooden floor, any refuse, or any organic material in its path and , develop these red fumes.
 Various substances contain nitro" and give off nitrogen dioXdc when they are burned. Anything made of celluloid, such as N-ray films, gun cotton, or dynamite, are examples of this kind of material.
 After the burning or incomplete
 explosion of dynamite in d tunnel,
 or the splling of nitric acid on a wooden floor, or some similar $ ight
 gard, "a workman inhaleS some Of i the fumes for a time but IS little | incoVenienccd. He goes home and
 eats his supper feeling perfectly well. During the night cdcma (pour- ing out of f1uid) of the lungs de- | Velops and before noon, or even be- fore morning, he is dead, drowned
 in the fluid poured out in his lungs" Because it is thought that the
 thickening of the blood and it's in-
 ability to carry oxygen are import 1 ant, injections of blood or of salt
 solution are made, and sometimes | quantities of blood are taken from the veins to relieve the congestion.
 Oxygen is given the relieve the
 shortncss of oxygen and the blue ! ness. In such cases the person is given q mixture Of oxygen and air
 and without the carbon dioXid". Particularly important is absolute | quiet and rest. Neglect of this re | quircmcnt results in death by sudden l heart failure not infrcquently.
