chemists assert. The secret Of their
destructiveness is dust-the dust
which is produced in their manu-

For a number of years depart
ment experts have been studying the
explosfbility of carbonaceous dusts,
mostly for the education Of manu-
which produce such conditions, and
surprising disclosures of general in
terest have beer made.
It is just about year since the
largest grain elevator in the world
the North Western, at South Chica-
go, Illinois, was destroyed by the
explosion OF grain dust in work
rooms and storage bins. Six work
men lost their lives In the disaster
which wrought property damage es-
timated at $4,000 While there
have been many other similar eX-

brought the subject most strongly

says.

dropped from the tax duplicates OF In

Fesler agreed he would recommend
to the county board of review that
valuations Of six stores visited today,
as we'll as Of others on a list Of ap-
proXimately twenty, be raised rs per
cent.
If the recommendation is carried
out. the valuation will be raised to
produce approximately $4,000 more

1t was when D. Sommers agreed
not to contest a Is per cent increase
in the 100000 valuation of his store
the mayor decided such a jump would
not be unfair in the other cases.
