Government chemists, after seven years’ study, teil some interesting things about it. Since 1860, at least 35 flour mills have been wrecked by explosions of flour dlust. Old-timers will recall the record explosion of 1878, when five separate flour mills were blown up in Minneapolis with a loss of 18 lives.” In 1917 a similar explosion in a grain elevator destroyed enough grain to feed 200,000 people for a year. Editor David J. Price, engineer in charge of Uncle Sam’s investigation of dust explosions, says that dust in general is a high explosive. Combustible dust is an unavoidable by-product of about, 21,000 manufacturing plants in our country. Terrific explosions lurk in the dust of coal, cork, aluminum, cottonseed, rubber, sawdust, sugar, starch and spices. Many factories have been burned to the ground by fire started by spontaneous combustion in dust accumulated deeply on rafters. The housewife, however, can go ahead baking bread and swiping dust disrespectfully afte: sweeping, without fear. For dust, while explosive, is nard to “set off.” The thing that appeals to the scientific side of your mind is the enormous power that must be locked up. in everything. Some day the stupendous power locked up in tiny atoms will be released and utilized by‘man. ° Search for this atomic-power utilization is keeping many a scientist working overtime in his laboratories For: years it has been one of, Sir Oliver Lodge’s main goals. The fact that flour or the dust of such things as cork and rubber contain explosive powers like dynamite suggests that a generation or two from | now people may be using entirely different kinds of power than at present. For all we know, gasoline, coal and electricity may become obsolete, their place taken by a small machine that will release the thunderbolts locked up in tiny atoms. This is visionary, but possible. BREECHES Democracy is saved. Ambassador Harvey dis- cards the plush “knee pants” which he has been wearing at English court functions. Hereafter he will perform in regular full- dress, in which garb géut'with pipe-stem “limbs” feels less conspicuous. } Colonel Harvey, in knickers, gave America many a chuckle. Yet our great-great-grand- fathers wore no other kind.

But on June 1 you could buy at. wholesale for $11.90 the same general stuff that cost $9.07 on June 1, 1913. This is shown by Bradstreet’s in- dex of wholesale prices of 96 leading necessities. In other words, wholesale prices: are 31: per cent higher than before the war. Wholesale prices-lead the way for retail. prices. What is due to happen? Will retail prices drop to meet wholesale or will wholesale prices rise to meet retail? The big fortunes of the next few years will’be made by. the shrewd men who guess the answer correctly. ASTROLOGY In a wrangle over a dead man’s estate, Supreme Court Justice Burr of New York hears it argued that the deceased was of unsound mind because he dabbled in amateur astrology. Time was, when the person deemed of unsound | mind was the one who did NOT believe in as- trology. In those days, any one who believed in such) things as radio and movies would have been lock- | 1 ed up for safe keeping. Present wave of interest in the psychic makes it possible that astrology will soon be up for an- other inning. Sanity depends on time. “ Unluckiest individual is the one who is born in the wrong century, either | too soon or too late. Pa Te Entered at the Postoffice, Bismarck, N.

Fugus, engineer on the Southern Railway, chinks he has the best locomotive in the world. ‘n 12 years it has run 662,000 miles without any ‘eavy repairs. Do you realize how much we owe to the puffing ocomotive? It is the motive power that has iauled us from a primitive state into present sivilization. For 300 years after the white man discovered America, our population clung to the seacoasts ind rivers. The railroad locomotive. permitted ‘he conquest of the middle west, later the west. It conquers space. Without it, the interior of yur country still would be an unproductive wilder- 1€ss. WEATHER Spring fishermen report that the weather, 200 niles north of Toronto, is scorchingly hot, as varm as it usually is in August, 90 in the shade veing common. Ojibway Indians say, “Hottest for the season in nany years.” Cities, where “the season is backward,” may ave a very hot summer in store—though it may re late in coming. The weather seems to have zotten lost in the north woods. The weather man can prove on paper that sea- sons are not changing, climate growing milder, out old settlers scoff. WHAT RUSSIA WANTS Krassin says that Russia, if she can get a finan- tial grubstake,.in two years will overcome famine and in five years be back as a big factor in the .xport grain trade. f That will make the wheat growers of our mid- Ue west prick up their ears. The city man may yawn at the news, but it is ‘qually important to him. His prosperity de- yends on the farmer’s, and that in turn depends mn keeping as big an export grain trade as pos- sible. EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments. reproduced in this column may or may not exoren the opinion of The Tribune, They are, presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important laves which are being discussed in the press of the day. PAY FOR THE HOME WOMAN? Two delegates to the convention of the National Woman’s Trade Union league, in session at Wau- kegan, have raised a very interesting if knotty juestion. They suggest an investigation of the sconomical status of the 20,000,000 American wo- men who do domestic work in their own homes. These women, it is argued, have obtained no ‘recognition,’ the whole movement for justice ‘o toilers having left them out of consideration. Are they not worthy of their—hire? But there, orecisely, is the rub. They are not hired. They are wives, mothers, sisters, and keep house inci- lentally for breadwinners of the family.” Who sould fix their “hire?” The conditions vary al- most with every family, and no uniform rule could rover ‘all the cases. It is well known that many wage workers and professional men turn over their earnings to their wives and receive back from them an “allowance” for personal expenses. Many others give their wives or mothers a certain weekly or monthly sum for household expenses, including or excluding recreation. The “recognition” of the home woman depends cn the intellectual and moral status of the male >readwinner. The more thoughtful and cultivat- ad the latter are, the more they appreciate the duties and responsibilities of their women folk. No wage could’ measure the services of the home women, and no legislature or trade union could invade the privacy of the home and try to regu- late the work or the pay of the mothers of fami- ilies, or even of the helpmates and companions of |: childless men. | Still, the resolution before the Woman’s Trade |Union league is likely to challenge considerable attention, for it is a fact that in far too many zases the men, just because they earn the wages, fail to realize the economic importance of the work done by their wives and mothers. Even farm women have had to pass resolutions demand- ing such “rights” in the home as the increased use of labor-saving machinery, time for reading “fan other forms of recreation.—Chicago News. f ADVENTURE OF | | THETWINS | oe | By Olive Barton Roberts Down to the earth slid Nancy and 'Nick to hunt Mr, Peerabout, the lost Man-in-the-Moon. They landed right beside Lily Pond, and there was old Grandaddy Firefly sulk’ng. ‘What’s the matter Grandaddy ” asked Nancy. “Is anybody sick?” “No,” said Grandaddy, “unless it’s I'm sick of everything.” “Why, what’s wrong?” asked Nancy kindly. “I should think you'd be happy on such a love.y night. It’s just like Fairyland here, Everything smells so sweet and perfumy. And the crick- ets and tree-frogs are s'nging and it’s so quiet and comfy and everything.” Grandaddy buzz:d his wings and flew around the grass stalk he'd been sitting on. “Il tell you all about it,” he said. “You know how it is in this world. Folks don’t get credit for what they do and they don’t like other peop‘e to interfere with their rights. Don’t you agree with me?” Nick said he did, though he wasn’t quite sure Just what Grandaddy meant. “it's the Moon,” exp'ained Gran- daddy sulkily, ‘I-hate it. When it shines, as it’s dong ‘tonight, nobody can se: my light. I wish the moon and everything on it’ were in Guinea, wherever that id.” I. “Oh!” cried Nancy. “Then you won’t wish to help us. Grandaddy. You see we are, after Mr. Pserabout, the Man-in-the-Moon. He's lost, “You qdon’t.\say ‘so,” exclaimed Crandaddy jin (surprise, lighting Nancy's shoulder, the better to. hear. “Where do you s ’pose he’s gone?” “We don’t know,” saiq ; Nancy. Comet iLegs, his enemy, shoved him off the Moon and sd¥s he’s’ going to turn the Moon square.” '” “Weill, Tl help you anyway,” of- tered Grandaddy. ‘We surely don’t want a square 'Moon,and’ we don't want a new Moon-Man, The old (Moon was goog enough.” MAMMA’S LETTER (Florence Borner.)

I'll tell-her about all my children, Susanna, an’ Betsy an’ Bess, Sometimes they are awfully naughty, An’ sometimes they’re good, more or less; I'll write about Rover, my doggie, An’ Spotty (she is th’ ol’ cat, An’ has a big family o’ kittens, But dear mamma knows about that). My goodness! I can’t think o’ nothin’, I only have filled half a side; An’ now that I’ve finished my letter, I'll fold it, an’ put it inside ’ th’ envelop’, an’ run out an’ post it, It is not a long letter you see, But mamma will be glad to get it, Because it was writte: n by me. eee election it has held as a free. nation, | But: Ireland is much troubled on the eve of the election. There is se- vere fighting on the border between the Irish Free State and Ulster, or northern Ireland. There is still much trouble between the foliowers of Michael Collins and Arthur Griffith, who are satisfied with. the Irish Free State government, and the followers of Eamonn de Valera, who want Ireland to be a republic, en- tirely free from. the British empire. ‘Meanwhile the conference between representatives of the Irish Free ©” 4 State and representatives of the Brit- ish government goes on at London. The Free State has agreed to let followers of de Valera to hold office, it they are chosen’ at the élection. | The British government says. ‘de Valera’s followers cannot. hold office ‘unless: they take an oath to be loyal to the British empire, And the conference. is trying: to set-_ tle this difference. “Then: you didn’t mean ‘what you e & said about wishing it was in Guinea |} did you?” said Nancy quickly, “No!” declared Grandaday, “I guess | @————————~ Tdian’t. Things might be worse.” (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1922, NBA Serv:ce.) |‘GURRENT EVENTS | qi UNTIL NEXT FALL With this publication the week- ly summary of CURRENT EVENTS is discontinued until fall, when the schools will reopen and the series will be needed again by the little folk for whom it is intended primarily, in con- nection with their studies, RAILWAY WAGE FIGHT Delegates representing — 2,009,000 railway workers gather in Cincinnati to fight .reductions in their wages, The'r leaders say a strike vote prob- ably will be taken. ‘What are the railway workers com- plaining about? Just this: That the Interstate Commerce Commission, a department of the federal government which has authority to tell the railways how much they may charge for carrying freight ang passengers, recently ord- efed the railways to reduce freight rates. . ‘Phe railways, of course, have to ‘obey. But they say they can make the reductions only if they are al- lowed also to reduce the pay of the ‘men who work for them. So the railways have asked the United States Railroad Labor Board, another government department that has charge of fixing the wages of railway employes, to allow reductions in pay. Already some cuts have been made, The railway workers object to this. They say if their wages aro cut they cannot support their families and live in comfort. And they promise a fin- ish fight against all further wage cuts. eee FUROPEAN ROYAL MARRIAGE Princess Marie of Rumania has just become a queen through her mar r) at Belgrade to King Alexander ot Serbia. Royal marriages always have be- hind them a political meaning—that is, they always are arranged with a view to furthering the ambitions or strengthening the position of the na- tions whose royalty marriss. The marriage of King Alexander and Princess Marie is a step in the formation of an alliance among the Ba‘kan States. Some say there’s a deeper mean- ing behind this marriage, These say King Alexander wishes some day to became ezar of Russia,’ Alexander could’ march an army into Russia most! easily by eressing Pumania and hence, s.me say. he is eager to gain Rumania’s friendship and support. . inigscetecrions COMING.» ~reland~is preparing for. the first ATHOUGHT | Be ‘not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sow- eth, that shall he also reap.
