MANY THEORIES AS TO CAUSE
(Associated Press)

Ottawa, Jan. 24.-Just why the
floor on a room of the Lane school
exploded recently has caused much
speculation among local authorities.
The floor was a new one laid over
an old floor, on stringers. Between
the two floors were steam pipes. One
theory is that possibly leak in a
steam pipe filed the aperature with
steam and caused the explosion, but
examination showed the steam pipe
intact. Other theories range from
bombs to over-heated dust. The
entire floor Of the class room was
wrecked and the baseboards and
wall panels torn away. The lower
or older floor was not damaged by
the explosion, which occurred at
night.
