REMEDIES OUTLINED FOR TRANSPORTATION ILLS (By United Press) Wiashington, April 23. (By Ray- mond . Slapper.)—Remedies for the mation’s transportation ills, regard- ‘ed as the chief cause for ihe indus- trial and agricultural slump, have been generally outlined, it was learn- ed today. President Harding knows of -some of the proposed steps and has had a hand in framing them, but he has not seen fit to announce them as yet. This explains in part why .the president, while believing railroads and econcmic. situation is thé ‘most serious confronting his ad- ministration, has not put forward any plan for its solution. Harding has ‘been told that unless something is done about the railroads ithere will be another fuel shortage next winter. The agricultural slump will grow no better and all industry ‘will be hampered and some indus:- tries may be killed, due to the size and inequities of the present freight rates.

Stone T | DR Modern: explosives have been de- veloped to the point where they need not be feared by'anyone who handles them intelligently. Speaking in a ¢omparative way, they may be used with no greater dangers than there is in using of horses, mowers; traction engines, saw mills, or other farm equipment, or than there is in using shotguns or rifles. The general use ' of explosives on farms js'so-new-thit many people. dis- trust them more - because of their newness. than from ‘a clear under- standing of any actual dangers their use may hold. A review of what the dangers are may help users of explo- sives to avoid them, and may help to build up the reader’s belief in the safety of explosives: There is some danger in the hand- ling and transporting of explosives, but it depends very largely on the ex- posure of the dynamite or powder to heat, flame; sparks, blows and fric- tion. The directions say to keep ex- plosives dry, to keep them at a tem- perature less than 90 or 100 degrees Fahrenheit to keep them safe from sparks, ‘and to avoid blows and shocks. If these directions. are fol- lowed there will be few accidents. Probably the most. common cause of accidents with. explosives: lies in violation of some of these primary rules while. thawing frozen sticks of dynamite.or powder. Freezing makes the high explosive less sensitive to the simple direet shock of a blasting cap, unaccompanied, as it is, by any friction. But at the same time, freez- ing makes the explosive more sensi- tive to frietion in any.form. For this reasom,.though a frozen E stick of dynamite cannot. be fired properly by a blasting cap, it is very likely to be fired prematurely by a chance light blow from any object touching it, by your slitting the wrap- ping paper with a knife, by breaking the stick in two, or by attempting to pufich a hole into it to insert a cap. (These. operations- are: entirely safe \when the explosive is normal). If the stick is dipped in warm water or ex- posed to steam, or is laid on any- thing which is warmer than 125 de- grees, free nitroglycerin likely will leak out and fall in drops. And one drop of nitroglycerin fallinw only a few inches may be exploded itself and ytmy explode-all dynamite that is near it. ' Throughout the entire course of handling the explosive, from the freight station to the hole in the stone or the ground, you should remember the five cautions which will be re- peated: keep it dry, keep it cool, keep it away from sparks and flame, a.nd keep it safe from blows and fric- tion. Be careful—as careful as you would in driving a big automobile or a traction engine. Then you will be secure, from any accidents, and ex- plosives will be entirely safe to handle.
