SHOW HOW TO PREVENT
DUST EXPLOSIONS.

Numerous serious dust explosions
and fires In the United States and
Canada have led engineers in the
Bureau of Chemistry Of the. Depart
ment of Agriculture TO arrange an
exhibit showing the need for pre-
ventive measures and the results NJ
work that has been done. The ex-
hibit. which will be shown first at
the annual convention Of the Ma
tional Fire Protection Association
at Atlantic City. May s 10 Il. will
include three phases Of dus; ex-
ploston and fire prevention to be
presented in booth form. One panel
of the booth will be devoted TO the
problem in its relationship 20 indus
tries where grain is milled or ham
died or where food products are
made. II will include such plants
as grain elevators. sugar refineries.
fiour mills. starch factories ana
cocoa and spice mills.
Another panel will show the dan
ger Of dust explosions in threshing
machines and methods Of proven
tion. This danger is always present
where threshing is being done. but
Is more to be feared during dryI
weather and when there f. much
smut in the grain.
Tho third danger emphasized
the exhibit Is that Of cotton gin
fires. In this case there is techni-
cally no dust explosion. but tn
fine fbers OF cotton. once a FIRE has
started. burn with almost explosive
violence. Such fires are often
started by electric sparks generated
by the rubbing of the cotton on
metal pipes through which Il is
passing. Drawings and photographs
show methods for reduong the
danger.

Wants Rock Creek Lighted.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
! took an automobile ride through
Rock Creek park last night and
was amazed by some Of the things
that I saw there. Not that there
was anything outside the law OF
rot innocent enough by itself. But
am nevertheless convinced that
the District should provide street
lights for every road running
through the park. 1 cannot I'M
derstand why this has not been
done long before.
The park is almost unpoliced anG

hold-ups. must admit that my
heart was in my mouth some of
the time as we went along spooky
roads. i almost expected to see

realize that there might be a
protest over lighting this park as
it should be lighted but / am sGre
that this would come from youns
men and women who do not realize
the dangers OF the place. my
self have reached the age where
1 can realize these. Although l am
a maiden lady with no hopes @:
ever being otherwise, am thor
oughly capable of appreciating the
feelings of young people. 1t is not
to curb their innocent pleasure:

the misty paths of the past to become clouded with
propaganda colored with his own opinions he
may work damage. rs
All sorts of sincere believers are seeking to
change the history of the United States. With the
best intentions in the world they would not hesitate
to alter facts. Thus people enthusiastic almost to
the point Of fanatcism fof the bcterment of Anglo
American relations would not hesitate to wipe out
much of the story of the Revolutionary War Others
who earnestly believe that too much tolerance
toward Great Britain is harmful for the United
States would delight in the opportunity to paint
the facts of that war in darker colors than are
justified.
Followers of certain radical schools OF economic
thought are sincere in their advocacy of histories
which would impress the minds of schoolboys
and girls that George Washington Lenin in
buff and blue with powdered hair.
All of these folks would write histories and
force them the public schools II any group
should succeed, the outlook ahead would grow
black to all the others.
Until all the present clouds of propaganda
have blown over it would seem best to cling to
the standard texts. These, in places. may err.
But they have succeeded, in the past. m building
up sturdy Americanism among the boys and
girls who have studied them
The book at present under discussion in Wash
ngton, DIR. Ballou us, is just of these.
1t not written with the purpose Of starting
school children on immediate man-hunt for
Bolshevists. Its purpose was not to show how
wicked is everyone who advocates doctrines.
Written for advanced pupils, it neglects descriptive
material of our war heroes. whose deeds
already familiar before the study of the book
starts. 1t is just od-fashioned history written
with as little bias could be expected in these
clouded days. 1t would be well If all the
troversy over American history could be stopped
for time. 1t serves only to stir up more bitter
feelings among descendants of different national-
ties, among economic classes, among followers Of
varied schools of thought.
Unbiased textbooks even now are difficult to
find. Until school authorities decide upon better
one, perhaps better purposes would be Served if
heard no more of the objections to the present
book.
Piney Branch citizens did well to voice their
protests. Superintendent Ballou and the. school
board did we'll to stand firm in their position. The
matter can be dropped now without hard feelings.
