To CONTINUE

Department Of Interior Will Ask
Congress for Appropriation of

give to it an appropriation of $4,000.
providing for the continuation of ex-
plosives inspection after the war. An
Appropriation for this amount was
contained in the sundry civil bill,
which failed of passage before Con-
Sress adjourned its last session.

regulating explosives and ingredients.
the Law will hold good only until
the signing of peace. again leaving
the country but partially protected.
The Department of the Interior has
spread about the country $4,000

handling explosives was made, and
it was found that more than 100000
companies were using explosives,
where magazines were an absolute
necessity.
Tabulated 4,5OO Magazines.
Department agencies tabulated $500
magazines. recommended changes in
nearly 1900 of these. instituted 2.512
Investigations and obtained 125 con-
victions. Figures on conviction OBJ

the number of minor offenses were
greater.
1t is pointed out by the department
that in all civilized countries in the world
except this explosives are under fls tional
supervision in times of peace. In the
United States there is no such regu-
lation. and only few states have legis-
lation in this respect.
During the enforcement of the act"
says the department. "the $4,000 men

able state OF affairs. Great stores of
explosives were found in cities and
towns where an explosion would have
caused tremendous loss Of life. limb
