Did You Know Flour Explodesi

During the last ten years. about twenty
explosions have occurred In cereal. flour
and feed mills. with the loss of two mil
lion dollars worth Of property, as well
as the killing or inturing of over two
hundred employees. Investigations re-
garding the causes OF these explosions
and subsequent fires have not proved con-
clusively what are the difficulties TO be
avoided. In eight cases. the explosions
are believed to have originated from the
sparks produced In the machines during
the grinding process. Tiny particles OF
gravel or metallic substances coming into
contact with the plates Of the machine
may produce enough sparks to ignite tAa

give his Washington recital in the New
National Theater next Friday afternoon.
December l, at 4:30 o'clock. 1t is twenty
FIVE years since Paderewski began to
come to this country and his present
visit has been the longest he has ever
made. The war, of course is responsible
for this. His beautiful home In Switzer-
land is being used for relief purposes,
and he plans to remain in this country
until the end fthe war. This has
made it possible for him to appear in
Washington two successive seasons.
The program which he has made for
his recital in Washington is character
istic of the man and the artist. 1t con-
tains several familiar works, all of which
have their inches in immortality. The
three big works are Machs Chromatic
Fantasia and Fugue, Beethoven's "Ap-
passionate" sonata and Schumann's fan
tasia in C major. The other half of the
program will be devoted to pieces by
Chopin.
The program follows: Chromatic fan
tasia and fugue CBach); sonata in F
minor, "Appassionata," op. 81 (Beeth-
oven): fantasia in c major. op. II,
CSchumann); Ballade in G minor; two
