BREATHE ROCK DUST
Millions of Particles Taken Into
Lungs With Air.
Hygiene Experts Devising Means Of
Removing Dust and Fumes
From Air in Factories.

Niagara Falls, n. Y-Over 100000
900 tiny particles of dust, as sharp as
ground glass. are breathed into the
lungs and air passages with every
cubic foot of air in some of the fac
tories in the United States, according
to survey made by the public health
service here.
Such duStS breathed into the lungs
are never expelled. PhotOmicrographs
show the tiny particles to be exceed
ingiy sharp and jagged and chemical
tests prove them to be practically in
soluble. Work under such condl-
tons invites reSpira tory diseases and
makes a real health hazard. Similar
Investigations in chemical factories
showed that IabOrers were frequently
exposed to poisonous fumes and gases.
The investigation was made at Nj
agara Falls because plants were en-
gagged in the manufacture Of abraS-
ives, chemicals, gases, electrodes, car
bons, metals and alloys In all of the
factories the laborers were found to
be exposed to dangers which would
eventually incapacitate them for fur

cent of the labor in these plants seeks

suit of exposure to such dangers is
not evident as it would be if the work.
ers remained at the same work for
longer periods.
AS result of the survey industrial
hygiene engineers devised means of
removing the dust from the air and
minimizing hazards from fumes and
poisonous gases. In spite Of the fact
that the installation of such devices
was expensive, factory arrangements
Immediately put them INTO use.

"Some have made 100000 pounds.
They are buying land at inflated

are regarded as family heirlooms. One
British official says that the country
has made at least 10O,OOO,OOO pounds.
NATURALLY there is an influx Of new

mand for automobiles, jewelry, new
houses and all kinds Of luxuries, but

rich have not changed their standard

society of the Pacific college, Cali

the bird has at length been caught

1t is declared to be the most gigan,

LIQUOR FLOWS
ACROSS BORDER
Northern Section of Maine Being
Flooded With Whisky
From Canada.
LAWFUL SEIZURES ARE FEW
Comes Across Line in All Forms Into
State Which Was Pioneer in "Dry"
Laws-Many Ways of Fool
ing the Sleuths.

Bangor, Me.-The rate at which Ca
madam and Scotch WHISTLES are flowing
over the northern border into Maine
proves that enforcement of the federal
prohibition law hasn't got into its
stride as yet, for never in all the his
tory Of theoretical droughts have cases
been greener, more numerous or closer
together in this pioneer dry state than
right now, when there is more law than
ever before, twice as many "enfOrcers"
and increased penalties.
Trainmen who come down say that
whisky of all grades and oceans of
pure grain alcohol are flowing over the
border at hundred places, and that at
four principal points the alcoholic in
vasiOn amounts to a flood. These four
points are Van Buren,, opposite the
New Brunswick town of st. LeOnards,
on the st. John river; Fort Kent, which
has easy access to the Canadian village
Of Glare via a suspension fOOtbridge;
Fort Fairfield, which is but nine miles
distant from the New Brunswick town
of Andover, and Houlton, which is
near neighbor of the provincial town Of
Woodstock.
Only Occasional Seizures.
Occasionally the revenue officers
seize a wagon or sled load of whisky
coming over the international bridge
from st. Leonards or over the ice at
some more obscure locality, but moth
ing is said about the great number of
"booze" chariots that get by the gov
ernment's lookouts and which keep the
speakeasies of Aroostook or the bar
rooms of Bangor supplied. Also, the
st. John river being frozen good and
solid for it's entire length, men and
teams can cross anywhere in the rivers
1OO-mile stretch along the border, so
that, as the revenue men themselves
admit, a standing army with sentinels
every fifty feet would be required to
shut out the flood.
There is so much more money to be
made in bringing in ''booze," even a
few bottles at a time that hundreds
Of wOodsmen have quit swapping roads
and chopping trees for the rum-running
business, and nfnety-nine in 100 Of

get by with their goods.
Price Of Canadian Whisky.
Canadian WHISTLES that can be bought
at So a "short quart" on the New
Brunswick side of the line sell in
Aroostook county at Sc and in Bangor
at So, while genuine Scotch is 81 in
New Brunswick, So in Aroostook and
$12 to SIS in Bangor. Pure grain alco-
hol, to be had in New Brunswick at "a
a quart, is "split" with water on this
side of the line, so that every quart
yields about SIG. With the addition of
a little prune juice and burnt sugar
this alcohol is transformed into "Amer-
lean rye" supposed to have been
brought in from Boston or New York
''before the lid went on"
Whatever the outcome of the war on
"booze," the enforcement Of the law
will be hardest in Maine, both on ac-
count of the state being cheek by jowl
with Canada and on account Of the
seventy years experience that the peo-
pie here have had in devising ways and
means of fOoling the sleuths.
