The British tank was one of the great sensations of the present war. 1t not only surprised the world when 1t appeared in action, but it sur prised the Germans-and there was good strong jolt accompanying the surprise. The very idea of a land battleship was inspiring in itself, but the tanks did not go into action with any desire on the part of their crews to create poetry and romance. They went into action to sweep German barbed wire out of the way so that the infantry could get through quick ly with bullet and bayonet and bomb and overwhelm the Huns before they could organize an effective defense. Rough country - trenches, high banks. woods, houses, ill-boxes--did not daunt the tanks in the least; they crawled right over and through them, splitting machine gun bullets by thou sands, and when they got astrde a

Why Flour Expiodes.

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