7. N. T. as an Industrial
Explosive Used on Farm

With the cessation of hostilities
the government found itself in pos
session. session Of large supply Of the high
has been deemed unsafe for storage
against a possible future emergency.
With the object of making possible
the use of this surplus explosive for
industrial purposes the United States
department of agriculture reports re-
suits of Investigations made by the
bureau of mines and the College of
Agriculture of Wisconsin.
Brifiy stated, these Investigations
show:
That INT can be safely cartridged
and handled for land clearing, and
that it's desirability will depend on
the cost to the user.
Complete detonation was best Sc
cured by use of the No. exploder,
NO. being the size usually recon-
mended for dynamite applied to like
conditions.
Moisture encountered in ordinary
land-learing operations does not af-
feet this explosive; neither do ordi-
nary variations of temperature.
That the health of the workers is
not affected by the explosive gases
when the work is not confined to a
limited space.
That the amount of INT required
is about rs per cent of the amount
of "20 per cent ammonia dynamite"
On account of the smaller quanti-
ties used definite regulation of
charges should be made. There may
be considerable danger If the proper
charges are much Increased.
It seems likely that the surplus
of high explosive manufactured to
fill bombs and she lis for the army
in France may be put to a valuable
peace-time use. 1t is not contem-
plated that INT will be manufac-
turad eXnraSs1v for industrial Tca
the unused explosive left from the
military supplies during the recent
war.

Sorrows Have Literally
Caused to CrV Ewes Out

1.-THE City Of the Blind" the Ar
menians and Syrians call Aleppo in
Syria, for nowhere else in the Orien'
todays is the percentage of blindness
so high. Every sixth person on the
street is affected wit heye disease.
These Armenians and Syrians, the
oculists say, in the years of terror
and suffering just passed under
Turkish oppression, have literally
''cried their eyes out"
Trachoma is found in all degrees

Dear Madam: I am coming to you
for advice.
1 am feet 2 inches tall, have
brown hair, gray eyes and fair COM
plexion. Am seventeen years old.
Am in love with a boy nineteen and
he loved me dearly. He has been
going with me about two years until
two months ago, then he started go
ing with another girl. How should
1 try to get him back?
How often should boy call, and
how long should he stay?
Should boys and girls go car rid
ing on Sunday afternoons?
When a boy asks me to kiss him
what must I say?
If the boy and girl are engaged
should the girl go with another boy.
When there is another girl after
my sweetheart and tries to turn him
away from me how must I act?
Should girl tell a boy she loves
him? Should a girl put a chicken
foot on the table when her fellow
takes dinner with her?
GRAY EYES.
If the young man has stopped
calling on you the best thing to
do is to let him stay away. Even
if you do like him so much. Try
to interest yourself in some one
else. After a while you will
cease to worry about him.
1t is all right for boys and
girls to go car. riding on Sundays.
Just because a boy asks you to
kiss him is not any reason for
you to do so. They will not fail
to ask. 1t seems to be the ma
ture of the species. But you
mustn't kiss them even if you do
run the risk of making them an
CRY, it is better to do that than
have them talk about you and
they will surely do that, as that
is part of their nature also.
When another girl lis mean
enough to try to set a boy
against you then the thing you
must do is to ignore it; be above
such actions. In the end you will
win out.
I have never seen anyone put
a chicken foot on the table, they
always left that part OF the
chickens anatomy in the Kitchen
or threw it away. But anyhow,
do not think it looks very we'll.
Do you?

Perhaps you let him see that
