Why Flour Explodes.

Records Of the last ten years show that about twenty explosions have oc- cured in cereal, flour and feed mills, with the loss of S2,O00,000 worth of property, as well as the killing or in turing Of over two hundred employees. Investigations regarding the causes of these explosions and subsequent fires have not proved exclusively what are the difficulties to be avoided. In eight cases the explosions are believed to have originated from the sparks pro duced in the machines during the grinding process. Tiny particles of gravel or metallic substances coming into contact with the plates of the ma chine may produce enough sparks to ignite the dust within the machine. Another possible cause for cereal dust explosions suggested is the use of naked flames.

SCHO0lMARMS AIDING

 Cards.

Chairman Edwin l4oosley of local board No. 1 was found yesterday en- tirely surrounded by pretty school marms, busily instructing them in the proper methods of filling out the voca- tional cards recently called for, while across the hall in Superintendent Loves office, the mere men members of faculty were hard at work at the same task.

Tradition and Good Books.

Good books, like well-bullt houses, must have tradition behind them, writes Henry Seidel Canby in the Yale Review. The Homers and Shake speares and Goethes spring from rich soil left by dead centuries; they are like native trees that grow so we'll no' where else. The little writers--hacks, who gentimentalize to the latest order, and display their plot novelties like bargains op an advertising page-are Just as traditional. The only differ ence Is that their tradition goes back to books instead of life. Middle-sized authors-the very good and the prob- ably enduring-are successful largely because they have gripped tradition and followed 1t through to contem- porary life. That is what Thackeray
 did in "Vanity Fair" Howells in "The Rise of Silas Lapham" and Mrs. Whar- ton iu "The House of Mirth." But back-to-nature books-bcth sound ones and those shameless exposures of the private emotions of ground-kogs and turtles that call themselves nature books-are the most traditional of all. For they plunge directly into what might be called the adventures of the American suheonsciousness.

Meet Today to Pian Cnl1, l1,mnnifr Kitchen

The idea contemplates practical instruction in the preparation of war time meals as substitutes for those comprised of costly food-stuffs, the use of economical and labor-saving meth ods in housework. and eventually a course in domestic science.

JUDGE MAKES ERRONEOUS PRE-

"Ahout one clean shirt is all thought he would ever wear. He had fallen away to a more shadow; was as yellow as saffron and often doubled up with pain. Doctors con tinually gave him morphine and were about to operate for gall stones. Mayr's Wonderful Remedy quickly restored him to perfect health again."

The Best Judge of Man.

'1n the long run, q woman IS the pest judge Of man. A man never finds out just which woman loved him until he is weary of love. Clever re marks about women are not necessa rily true. Middle->.ged women give the most joy to their lovers. That seems very odd and is a circumstance wor thy of our very closest scrutiny, lNlt for Some strange reason 1t remains neglected. It is the theme of Indis.r Summer Only vulgar man befool, woman in love. On the other hand 3 capacity for love is rare, like @ pacity for statesma,lship or poetry."-
