Their burns were principally about
the face. Sixteen other workmen
we're injured.
Among the more seriously injured
is Paul Robertson. aged 25 years, Of

also seriously injured but their con-
dition is said to not be critical. All
the other injured had comfortable
night and we're in an improved con-
dition early this afternoon.
To experts of the powder company
this fare up was OF unusual interest
and the fact that II was a flare up
and not a terrific explosion. upholds
q contention that has been held by
some Of the company's chemists for
years Just what would happen to a
blending tower In case of fire has
often been discussed by the powder
experts II was a speculation wheth'

cause an explosion or a fare up ~

This is the first time in the history
OF the manufacture OF smokeless pow

proves conclusively that a blending
mill will not explode. At the time o.
