* Loaf of Bread Won't Explode Washington, March 11.?That loaf of bread you cut last night for your S dinner at one time in its career pos% sessed all the dangerous characteristics of TNT. The spices in the ap pie dumpling you ate for dessert | v once boasted an equally strong claim to dangerous propensities. The sugar you put on it to add to its tastiness "had, and still has, the potentialities of dynamite. ' Experts of the bureau of chemistry of flie United States department of agriculture are authorities for these strong statements. But they say they b* might go further and add that the * rice in your pudding was just as > "flighty;" that the napkin you use, if of cotton, the shirt on your back, if y also made of cotton, cue snuss uu ^ 'your feet and tlie rubbers over them, w and finally, the coal which cooked your meal, were all at one time in ( their processes of manufacture 01 preparation for your use. equally V death dealing. However, there's no need now to ^ back away from any of them, they're tamed, the agricultural department chemists assert. The secret of their 5 destructiveness is dust?the dust L which is produced in their manufac' ture. For a iyumber of years department " experts have been studying the explo sffbility of carbonaceous dusts, mostly f for the education of manufacturers and workers in materials which produce such conditions, and surprising r disclosures. of general interest nave been made. | ' * Explosion in Elevator. It is just about a year since fcbe largest grain elevator in the world, 1 * the Northwestern at South dhicago, HI., was destroyed by the explosion | of grain dust in work rooms and storage bins. Six workmen lost thei? \ lives in the disaster which wrought y property damage estimated at $3,000,000. While there have been manyother similar explosions Hn elevators, flour mills and plants producing a va^ Tiety of articles, that one was the . factor that brought the subject most y strongly to public attention, the department says. J When wheat grains or other cereals I are handled in bulk, friction produces fino /Inst and when train ) ^uauuuco ui uuv *nd car loads ar? handled- daily, the amount of this dust that accumulates ahout the plant on floors and projections is enormous. Dust clouds long f hang in the air. It has "been determined by the experts that this dust v produces with the air a mixture as fickle and explosive as that formed in the carburetor of an automobile. It can generate gas explosions as powx ? f > crful a& those in rifle and gun barrels. All that is needed to start the destructive work a spark. The $ spark or flames may start a slow fire, the flash traveling from dust grain ^ * to dust grain. It may travel through dust conveyors, corridors or blowers Ito distant parts of the plant, where, if sufficient pressure is built up the explosion occurs. Dust explosions, government records show, have wrecked wejl built plants, thrown bodily loaded frieght oars, turned into twisted skeins of t scrap srongly built bins from their foundations, and in the case of the ^ Northwestern, blown out concrete .bin walls seven inches thick, list of Disasters. A long list of similar disasters is in i the hands of the government investigators and not all are from cereal k dust explosions. An explosion of ordinary powdered I table spices in a spice fabtory wreck> -ed the factory., recently, exacted toll of six lives, injury to twice as many 111 J ni>AnartT7 IrtOQ w ocuers <tuu uigu i?i \,j 4uwu. s An explosion of powdered .r confectioners' sugar, in-an eastern refin$ ery wrought damage estimated at $1,000,000 and cost four lives. Breakfast cocoa precipitated In a thick cloud from "burning bins in a ^ factory fire exploded, adding to the wreckage of the plant and to the loss J" of lives and money. Six girls working in a factory producing aluminum articles were burn4 ed to death when fire aluminum dust from their bulling machines exploded in their faces with a concussion heard % two miles distant. Starch exploding in another factory resulted in 43 deaths and damages es| timated at $3,000,000. Iv Dust from nara ruDDer Deing . ground to powder exploded in another instance, killing eight workers and partly demolishing the plant. While handling cottonseed meal a Wisconsin plant was damaged by an explosion in that product and three workmen were killed. Any number of explosions of light wood dust in wood working plants tave been reported to the department. Leather dust, formed in process of manufacture, has also caused explosions; dust from various processes in paper and cotton mills, rice meal ^ dust, feed dust and other grain dusts y have all caused terrific explosions reZ v * V COUPLE DIE IX FIRE. Burned to Death in Blaze at Augusta Saturday Morning. Augusta, Ga., March 18.?James A. Tant, 60, and his wife, 45, were burned to death here at 3 o'clock this morning when the Grand The ater, an old playhouse, was gutted | by fire.- The Tants made their home on an upper floor of tiie building. While the firemen were fighting the theater fire, flames broke out in a pool room next door. The fire authorities charge both fires^ to incendiaries and declare theix belief that the several fires during the past four months were the result of arson. The state fire marshal has been summoned and local representatives of fire underwriters are demanding an investigation. The owner of the theater has offered a $500 reward for the conviction of the firebugs and ,th? city authorities announce they will on Monday, offer a reward in tuc ta^c. SHIFT ROIiLS UP SMOKE. Somber Pall Hangs Over Chicago for Brief Period Sunday Noon. I I Chicago, 'March 19.?A pall of darkest night descended on Chicago at noon today. Automobilists turned on their headlights, street signsin the downtown district were lighted and the telephone exchanges and newspaper officers were deluged with thousands of anxious queries. The mystery was solved by^ the weather bureau which reported that sudden shifting of the winds had ".piled up" all of the city's smoke in one monstrous cloud blanket through which not etfen a' single sunbeam could force its way. Te phenomenon lasted only a few minutes, the lifting of the cloud having the appearance of a second sunrise. / NO INFORMATION ON TAX. Federal Government Cannot Assist the State in Matter. Washington, March 17.?W. R. Bradley, acting collector of internal revenue for South Carolina, called at the treasury department here today to ascertain whether or not state officials could be furnished with the facts as to the amount of income tax paid to the federal government by South Carolinians. The Legislature has recently enacted an income tax law which provides that South Carolinians shall pay the state a certain percentage of the amount of income tax they paid the united States. The commissioner of internal revenue informed Mr. Bradley that the government could not give the information Mesirtd, and so the state will have to collect its income tax without it.

If I clasp my hands behind my back and keep them there, how can I do it?" Some one will suggest that you can easily do it by picking up the matches with your hands. It can be done, v . "Suppose I agree not to touch them with my hands?how then?" you ask. It sounds difficult but it is really very easy. You have left the buter part of the matchbox standing on end.

The government's study of dust explosions has resulted in the formulation of a series of safety rules. These include recommendations that the dust be prevented so far as possible and be quickly removed; machinery producing frictions be kept in repair and lubdicated; machines generating static electricity be grounded, to be drained of electricity, and open flames, such as matches, lights and fires be eliminated.

NOTICE CONCERNING PLOWING IN PUBLIC ROOADS. Pursuant to recommendation of the Bamberg County Grand Jury, the landowners of the county cultivating i lands adjacent and adjoining public . roads are hereby urgently requested not to plow into or allow their hands ! to plow into the roads. Landowners j are requested to plant two or three rows of crops adjacent to roads parallel with the road, so that there may be proper turning space without the necessity of turning plows in the roads. It is against the law to allow plows to damage the roads, and it is an unnecessary practice. The county spends large sums of money ^in road building, and the roads bekfng to the people. I have no desire to prosecute anybody, but I must insist that this practice be stopped immediately. i ne iarmeiu i and tenants can cooperate in this respect, and there should be no necesI sity to bring action against anybody. Full notice is being given before I take such action. W. B. SMOAK, Supervisor.
