EXPLOSION
AN explosion which rocked the centre of Liverpool recently, and was followed by fire, injured 37 workmen, eight of them seriously, and partly wrecked the oil cake mill in which they were employed.
All city ambulances, including A.R.P. vehicles, were comman- deered to take the injured to hospital.
The explosion occurred in a five-storey extension to the building of Messrs. Calthorpe, eattle food inerchants, in Marybone.
A sheet of laine shot down the main shaft from top to bottom, setting fire to the building.
The whole of the Liverpool central fire brigade was sent to the scene, while auxiliary Aremen, soldiers, and A.R.P. workers were mobilised to fight ones or attend to the injured.
The explosion is believed to have occurred in a silo, and to have been caused by spontaneous combustion.
One inan, Leonard Wells, had an amazing escape.
He was working on the third floor and was flung through the hoist door. He clutched the hoist rope, and was left suspended in mid-air until his mates pulled him back into the building.
John Campbell, whose 23-year-old son of the same name was ose of the injured, said there was a terrific explosion, but he was unhurt.
"I threw a wet sark over my face go in search of my son," he con- tinued.
"I was told later he had been rescued, and I had to grupe my way through flames and blinding smoke down the spiral staircase, which had been almost twisted out of shape."
NEWS-But not about the Wor
FIREWORKS START CONEY ISLAND BLAZE DAMAGE estimated at £60,000 was caused by fire recently at Coney Island, New York's famous amuse- ment park.
The outbreak started with the explosion of a stock of fireworks "in"a"disused waxworks museum”
Spreading rapidly, the fire at one time threatened the whole park, says Reuter.
Before it was brought under con- trol it had almost entirely destroyed the wooden structures of the steeple- chase courac.

Judge Pays Tribute
To Bankrupt
PAYING a tribute recently to a bankrupt who applied for his discharge, Judge K. Archer said in Brighton County Court:
"I am satisfied as to his good i Jalth. It does not seem to me to matter whether a man falls for a million or for £10. What does | matter is whether he ought to be trusted to trade fairly.
