One point raised by Dean Minor
Roberts, of the University School of
Mines, was that much powder is
wasted now in shooting with fuses
instead of electrically. The powder
should be distributed in smaller
charges under the critical points OF
the stump and all of the charges OK
ploded at one time by an electric
current. he said. In this way the
stump would be lifted with much
less powder than If heavy charge
was concentrated under one Of the
large roots and the stump split up.

POWDER
FOR STUMPING
COMMUNITY WORKS CAN
MAKE DYNAMITE FOR
$40 A HUNDRED
University of Washington Pro-
fessor Suggests Solution of
Present Land Clearing Cost.

Give us cheap powder and we
will blow our own stumps without
the aid of logged off land demon
strations," has long been the cry Of
the stump farmer, cry that was
particularly noticeable at the time
of the proposed logged off land
train. Dynamite, what is known as
20 per cent stumping powder is now
quoted at $1s.25 a hundred pounds
with a reduction of So a hundred in
carload lots, with some other slight
reductions depending on the nearness
to deliver points of the powder COM
panies. And that is considered too
high for the average citizen to shoot
stumpS.
The question is CAN POWDER BE
MADE CHEAPER?
AS it does not make much differ
ence whether powder can be made
cheaper, or not, unless the man
using it can make it for himself,
the question changes to one of
whether the stump shooter can
make his own powder and make it
cheaper.
And the answer is YES.
Making powder is not a cOmpli.
Gated process and has been carried
on in a primitive way ever since the
Chinese first burned their fingers
with it some centuries ago. The old.
fashioned black powder that was
used so long for blowing stumps and
every other purpose is easily made
but is too expensive to use, even in
competition with the present price
of dynamite. Black powder is made
of rs per cent of Potassium Nitrate
at 12A cents a pound, Is per cent
sulphur at PA cents a pound and 10
per cent charcoal at cent pound.
This combination works out to cost
of about 10 cents a pound. These
are New York prices and there
would have to be added the freight
which, by boat, would probably not
amount to as much as the reduction
possible in buying carload lots But,
it takes about three pounds of this
mixture to do the work of 90 per
cent dynamite.
From that mixture there are a
numper of others, reasonably safe for
the amateur to play with, which
might be made up in the field, but
which would be too costly.
Then there IL dynamite itself
Dynamite is a mixture of glycerine
and nitric acid which evolves into
nitro-glycerine. Glycerine Is quoted

AUBURN CUTS
SCHOOL COSTS
STOP MANUAL TRAINING
DOMESTIC SCIENCE, MU-
SIC AND ART AND
ATHLETICS
Voters Refuse to Authorize 7
Mills Additional Levy to
Maintain Schools.

The tax question came up to the
voters Of the city of Auburn in the
case of a seven mill levy in addition
to the ten mills authorized by the
school board and the voter refused
to validate it. The school board
acted Immediately and when they
go through acting they had cut from
the curriculum all of the extras in
the shape of manual training, music
and drawing, domestic science and
physical culture. In that way they
say the school can get through the
year on the money at hand. 1t seems
to be the opinion of Auburn PEG
pie that if the voters had realized
what the result must be of turning
down the seven mill levy that it
would have carried. AS usual in
school elections the percentage of
voters going to the polls was small
and those few have dictated the
school policy for the coming year.
Auburn was one Of the first schools
in the state to adopt manual train
ing and domestic science, according
to Thomas M. Hulse, county school
superintendent, and these depart
ments had reached very high eff
cheney. Machine shop and forge
work was taught in addition to the
regulation wood work and in do
nestle science the work was made
as practical as possible, the girls
making their own dresses and doing
other lessons Immediately applicable
to their home life.
This swing from one extreme to
the other, Mr.. Hulse believes, will
work hardship on many pupils who
were enrolled in those branches and
who will now have to change their
course to some other line, or else
go to some other town. Many of
the pupils are already making ar
rangements to go to Enumclaw,
Kent or other high schools.
The educative value OF the courses
eliminated make them we'll worth
the money expended, Mr.. Hulse be-
lieves, particularly in high school
where they result in keeping up the
interest of many pupils who would
otherwise drop out. He is not so
sure of the value of teaching the
extra courses in the grades where
the pupils interest is more easily
confined to the essentials.
This was essentially the same
opinion as that held by DR.. F. G.
Ayers of the educational department
of the state university, who, in the
absence of DR.. Bolton, dean of the
department, said it was his opinion
that the school board would have
done better to have dropped some
other courses than to those chosen.
OF course he realized that in
school of the size of Auburn it was
a case of dropping some one depart
ment and not a part OF a depart
ment. He felt that it would be bet
ter to drop, say year or Ehgnsh'
but in doing that it would not be
possible to drop teacher as most
of the smaller high schools only
have one English teacher and OFTEN
that teacher handles some other SUD-
iect as WELL DR.. Ayers said II was
his opinion that such courses as
algebra, or foreign languages were

admitted that lack of such re-
ouirements might hinder the stu
dents entrance at the university.

FACTORY lElGUE LOOKOUT
HERE NOW IS UNCERTAIN

Employment conditions at this
time make it almost impossible to
say whether there will be a factory
baseball league in this city next sum-
mer. In many cases baseball players
who performed with various factory
teams in this city during past sea-
ons are at present out of work.
Before the opening of the season.
however, some of these players may
cur positions with various facto-
ries in this city and the chances for
a factory league will again be
strengthened. The Raritan Copper
works, United Lead works. Ameri-
can Smelling & Refining Company
and the Roessler & Hasslacher
Chemical Company have been the
leaders In forming factory leagues
in seasons gone by.
Joe Mullen, manager of the Perth
Amboy baseball club, has announced
his intentions of placing a represen-
tative team on the lot this season,
and there will be a number of other
teams in this city, just below the
class of the combination piloted by
Mullen. The Maurers and lSAlems
have already started to make prep
arations. the North Amboys. Pho
neers. Franklins, st. Anthony's, Har-
monys and other teams are expected
to be heard from In the near future.
Amboy enjoyed a big baseball year
in 1920, but the outlook for 1921
appears to be better than it vas in
1921.
