NEW LAW OF EXPLOSIVES

IN account of the large amount of explosives used mi
this state in mining and other connections the new
W explosive law summary of which appeared in the
Capital News few days ago. it is well to underscore the
salient provisions of the act The explosives law requires
every who handles explosives to take out license
Manufacturers vendors exporters importers, analysts
foremen in fact all who handle explosives ingredients
thereof in any way affected except those manufactur
ing explosives for the military naval service of the
United States under authority of the government or IN
gradients in small quantities not used intended to be
used the manufacture of explosives the handlers OF
small arms or shotgun cartridges workman who uses
explosives does not have to take out license but he must
get his supply from licensed superintendent foreman
under prescribed conditions fine of $4,000 may be i'm
posed for violation of the law Pending the receipt OF de-
tailed instructions and the naming of icensors the bureau
of mines advises that temzed record of sales
of explosives be kept by all handlers
The measure is not intended to hamper unduly normal
industry and the bureau of mines urges business
usual to the that there may be interruption in pro-
ducon of coal or other necessities involving the use Of
explosives
The law expected to prevent the acquisition of
posives by those who might make wrongful use of them
Licenses will only be issued to citizens of the United
States it's allies the plan works out well ought not
be possible for any explosive to find way into the hands
of enemies and in of outrage ought to make trac-
ing of the perpetrator easier The law is to exist only
until normal conditions resumed.
Accidental" explosions in the last few years have be-
come frequent Perhaps many of these would not have
occurred had proper restrictions been thrown around the
sale and manufacture of dangerous materials The man
cowardly enough to dynamite ship warehouse is not
likely to be willing to make public record of the purchase
of materials with which to commit the crime

RAISE MORE
 BROOM CORN
Local Broom Maker Sees Handsome Profit in Raising Small Patch sf Broom Corn--Suggests that Local People Raise Small Quantity This Season-Tells How.
q. E. Raderl

While brooms are now retailing at from fifty to seventy-five cents per broom, would it not be paying pro- position for every body to raise a patch of broom corn for home con- sumption, if not for commercial pur- poses
 About the culture of broom corn would say: Get your land in as good shape as you do for corn, and have your rows about the same width as your corn rows; drill seed in row, and then thin to three or four stalks to every twelve inches. It is almost use less to say that the better land you have, and the better you cultivate, the better results you will have.
 About the harvesting of broom corn, 1 will say that when one half of the seed on the head is brown or the fibre green down to the stalk, then it is ready to cut. When you cut 1t leave six inches of stalk to all fibre from F to IS inches long. Seed immediately after you cut it, and cure in the shade, spreading it from two to three inches thick.
 Never break your broom corn, it weakens the fibre

The War Capital as You
Would See 1t Yourself
BY DAVID NJ. CHURCH,
/. n. S. Stan Correspondent.

Luncheon at the White House used
to be a time Of relaxation and gayety.
President Taft and President Roose-
velt were always surrounded by a
host of luncheon guests. Secretary
Baker has been at luncheon once with
President Wilson since the war be-
gan, and Col. House perhaps twice.
Other guests there have been none.
Dinners at the White House are
almost unknown. Only the most
formal diplomatic dinners have been
held there in the past six months.
Dinner guests are few and generally
immediate members of the Wilson
family.
Time was when the White House
grounds were always full of White
House guests. Now occasionally one
sees Baby McAdoo playing under the
trees; but other than this child. the
grounds are deserted.
Each week the President attends
the theater.8 Always his box is filled
with the same people-Mrs. Wilson,
DR.. Grayson and perhaps one or two
other attaches.
The President is never known to
make calls, except few strictly Of
fetal and diplomatic calls.
So, day in and day out, the chief
executive and greatest war maker
works on at his war making, always
alCEe.
F1Ikaps it is his studl.us nature
which seeks seclusion, but TIE name,
THE Lonely Man Ia the White
House." outwardly seems fitting.
