BY DR.. MANNING
Money for Explosives In
vestigation Begun Dur

Congress will be asked to appro-
pirate s35.o0O for continuing ex-
plosives Investigation by the Bureau
of Mines. according to DR.. Van H.
Manning. director of the bureau.
The work is being carried on un-
der the emergency appropriation
granted by Congress for the period
of the war. With the signing of a
peace compact this investigation
will stop.
The bureau is in possession of in
valuable information concerning
storage. traffic and handling of all
types of high explosives. 1t has a
list of firms manufacturing or SELL
ing dynamite and kindred products.
If this work is suffered to lag the
result will inevitably be a public
menace.
1t is planned to make the system
inauEurated by war conditions a per-
manent institution in the bureau Of
ficials believe Congress will continue
the work and appropriate the amount
asked.
The question of granting licenses to
firms and individuals for use Of ex-
plosives in agricultural and other en-
terprises is pressing. Since last March
the ban has been somewhat less rigid
than during the progress of the war.
many requests for permission to use
dynamite for these purposes being
granted.
Pyrotechnic firms in New York City
are licensed to manufacture fireworks
with dangerous explosive materials,
but the municipal fire department
keeps a strict watch over these es-
Establishments. so that the misuse of
these materials by unscrupulous firms
is unlikely.
