EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, MICE PREFER STARVATION TO A DIET OF MATCHES Upset 0ld Theory—Miniature Pile Driver Used to Test Safety of Devices. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 1.—A match is a match to most every one, but to the expert there is a wide difference be- tween a safe and dangerous match. At the Underwriters' Laboratories here, where tests are made of thou- sands of devices and materials to pre- vent fires, a minfature plle driver daily pounds away on matches. The litle weight falls on the side of the match head. If the match blazes it Is reported unsafe. The require- ment is that it must be lighted only friction at the end of the head. Another device tests the strength of the match stick to make sure it is strong enough to stand ordinary rough usage. Else striking may break the stick and cause the burning head to fall. It also is determined whether the match will burn its com- plete length without breaking off and if l»rt‘:xklm,' off, the spark dles immedi- ches and mice often appear to- )..e(hl'r in stories of fires. KEngineers decided to make a test. Several mice were put in a cage and given nothing to eat but matches. The rats did not gnaw the matches and finally had to be released before they starved to death.

The dealers, through Attorney Roger J. Whiteford, argued that they had to compute the expense of handling coal on an average and they did not see how the auditor could allocate operating expenses properly among the several cl s coal handled by a dealer. “Well,” said Senator Glass, “per- haps the auditor will find that such allocations cannot be made. If it is impossible to get, then the auditor can come back and advise the com- mittee to that effect. But I see no reason why you shouldn’t try to pro- ceed on that basis.” The dealers agreed to try to work out the report on that basis and the agreement was accepted. ‘Auditor Smith could not predict how long it will take him to complete his report, but it is certain it will not he ready before the adjournment of Congress. Under the agreement Auditor Smith and Mr. Whiteford will agree on the | group of dealers from whom informa- tion will be obtained, but the reports will carry letter designations, so that the names will not have to be placed in the record.
