Robertson, 24 years old, 823 Fifth street, had a remarkably narrow escape from death or serious injury. Robertson, a delivery truck driver for the market company, had parked his truck in front of the entrance to the store to unload stock for its shelves. He left the truck and entered the store with the last piece of merchan- dise for that branch almost at ths instant the roof section crashed down upon the truck and hurled itself into the store windows. The cab of the truck was completely demolished and much of the stock in the truck body, was destroyed in the crash. Simultaneous with the Old Dutch arket damage, the plate glass win- ws in two barber shops across the street on Eighth street were shat- tered, but two hours after the crash the barbers were calmly at work.

As in every tragedy, yesterday's de- struction was not without its Bumor- ous incidents. Standing atop two pyramided sonp boxes outside his store near Thirteenth and D streets south- east, a grocery store proprietor of Se- mitic lineage probed doggedly into the tree branches above his head in an effort to recover his lace curtains, which had.been blown intact com- pletely oft their rods in his apartment over the store, and were draped as though by gentle hands across the tree boughs. While the storeman made his precarious probes, his wife, from her vantage point in the apart- ment window scarcely out of reach of the truant laces, gave verbal encour- agement and commands.
