Explosion Killed Two

A terrific explosion took place at
1850 on Tuesday which shook build
ings in Penns Grove. At once people
looked across the river, because smoke
less powder made on Carneys Point
goes upward with little conclusion.
1t was a packing and sorting house
at the upper yard of the DUPONT Pow
der Company on the Brandywine back
of Wilmington. The victims were:
Aubrey E. Turner 20 years old,
single, 119 North Adams Street, Will
mington.
James A. Hesso, % years old, who
boarded at Henry Clay.
Because of the protective measures
adopted several years ago by the com
pany the loss of line and property was
confined to the two men and the Two
houses both of which are small unltS
and did not contain much powder, 1t Is
believed at the time of the explosion.
1t is said that it is unusual for ar
explosion to occur in either the pack
ing or sorting houses, because OF ths
absence of machinery. There are
sleeves or screens thru which the pow
der is separated into various sizes.
Rumors about Henry Clay placed thu
blame for the explosion on others thar
the ones who were killed. 1t is SAT-
that a car containing powder ant
which was on a track in the yard
close by the packing and sorting
houses, which were close together, wa
in SOM way responsible for the accl
dent.

Wilmington City Council passed an
ordinance to advance the clock an
hour. Business begins in Wilmington
at 7 o'clock standard time. The rail-
roads keep the standard time, but the
Wilmington-Penns Grove Ferry boats
use Wilmington time. That makes the
boats leave Wilmington on the odd
hour, Standard Time. One leaving

Shortage of Houses Puts Ten

campaign for the building of homes

the suburbs is so acute that when
one woman moved some of the fur

persons tired TO rent il from her
within a few hours.
To stop the prohteering in rents and
homes, several organizations are at
tempting 10 unite on a program OF
house building to continue for at
least six months or until the short
age has been relieved. These Organi-
cations include associations of ten
ants, trade unions, representatives
of the building trades and mortgage
ing companies. They have been
asked TO undertake this work by the
department Of public welfare.
Meanwhile camping ground &C
cessible by street cars is in great
demand. Tent manufacturers say
more orders have been placed for
tents this month that ever before
in Philadelphia history.
There is an unprecedented amount
of building of cheap cottages and
bungalows within a radius Of 80
miles of Philadelphia to accommo-
date the rush of tenants that is ex-
pected when mild weather comes.
Those erected in one community
cost about $500 each and are eager
