A LUSITANIA VICTIM
Oldham, Lancashire
We learn with much regret that Messrs. Hirst Bros. & Co. Ltd., of Oldham, have sustained a serious loss through the death of their New Zealand representative, Mr. Arthur Dixon, who was one of the unfortunate passengers on the ill-fated Lusitania. Mr. Dixon was a native of Oldham, and had been in the employment of Messrs. Hirst Bros. & Co. for the last thirteen years. He was retuning home for a short visit with his wife and son, and only Mrs. Dixon survived.

GOOD END OF YEAR FOR BIRMINGHAM JEWELLERS AND SILVERSMITHS
Birmingham
According to the report of Vice-Consul Arthur V. Blakemore at Birmingham, jewelers and silversmiths in that district did an exceedingly satisfactory Christmas trade, which should largely recompense them for the dull times in the first half year. A large quantity of cheap silver and electroplated ware was produced during the last quarter and there was an average demand for better class goods. One satisfactory feature in the jewelry and silver trade was the development of export business, particularly to Canada and other colonial markets. The exports of plate and plated and gilt wares for the first 11 months aggregated $5,388,004, increases of $569,419 and $877,937, respectively, over the similar portions of 1911 and 1910.

GAS EXPLOSION CAUSES LOSS OF LIFE
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Gas Tank Explosion Excites Pittsburgh Jewelers and Smashes Store Windows
PITTSBURGH, Pa., Nov. 16.—Downtown Pittsburgh was rocked by a gas tank explosion last Monday morning which threw the business section into a frenzy while it lasted. Windows in some jewelers’ buildings were shattered as well as in stores generally, but the principal damage, amounting to millions, was in the Vicinity of the explosion on the North Side of the city, about a mile from the downtown section.
The tank which exploded held about 5,000,000 cu. ft. of natural gas. At first it was thought that there had been an earthquake, but after the first shock Jewelers soon discovered what had happened, and there was not so much excitement. In the immediate vicinity of the explosion there was great loss of life, with a score or more killed and hundreds injured, and great property damage done to warehouses and especially to that of the Joseph Horne Co. Other department store warehouses also suffered to some extent.

MYSTERY CLOCK
London
Bond Street’s latest novelty is a mysterious clock of crystal, priced at £800. The mystery lies in the fact that, though the crystal is transparent, there is no visible sign of any mechanism, and no one except the maker knows how it goes. The hands, which are of platinum and diamonds, revolving on a thin metal pinion, are behind the face of the clock, embedded in the heart of the crystal block which is five inches in diameter. There is no apparent connection between the hands and the framework. The secret of the mechanism will be revealed only to the purchaser. Even the managing director of the firm does not know the secret. Although rich enamel, gold and jewels are used to decorate the framework, it is the craftsmanship that accounts for its high price.

His father was manager first for Reading Bros., a firm of silversmiths now extinct, and afterwards with Mr. Henry Altman, who founded the business of the Potosi Silver Company, acquired many years ago by Messrs.

DEATH OF MICHAEL DREICER
New York
Prominent New York Jeweler and Gem Merchant Passes Away at His Summer Home on Long Island
As The Jewelers' Circular was going to press it was learned that Michael Dreicer, head of Dreicer & Co., Inc., 560 Fifth Ave., New York, one of the best known jewelers in the metropolis, had passed away yesterday (Tuesday ) morning at 9 o'clock, at his Summer home at Great Neck L.I. N. Y. Mr. Driecer had been in poor health for some time and, although the end had been expected, news of his passing is a shock to the entire trade and his vast host of friends.
Some time ago Mr. Dreicer went abroad in an effort to regain his health but was unsuccessful. He returned to this country several months ago and since that time had been in poor health and more or less inactive in the business.
Mr. Dreicer was a native New Yorker, having been born in the Metropolis about 53 years ago. His career in the jewelry business had been a most successful one and through hard work he built up one of the largest and best known concerns in the industry.
The business was originally started in a small way by Jacob Dreicer, the father. Some years ago Michael Dreicer was taken into the firm and after that the business became known as J. Dreicer & Son. The business at that time was located on Fifth Ave, in the vicinity of 31st St. Later the father withdrew and since then Michael Dreicer had carried on the business. The firm now occupies one of the finest buildings on Fifth Ave., above 42d St.
For many years Mr, Dreicer had been considered one of the leading authorities in this country on precious stones. In November, 1919, Mr. Dreicer and his establishment were honored with a visit from the King and Queen of Belgium, during which they inspected the collection of rare gems owned by Mr. Dreicer.
The body will be taken to his late home in New York from which place the funeral will be held.
Deceased is survived by a widow and two sons.
