membership may be regarded as
fruits.
At the quadrennial conferences of
the Methodist church, the question
of dancing sometimes comes up for
discussion, and it usually causes
quite a storm. There seem to be
perfectly sincere people, who believe
that all persons who dance are
doomed, and they feel called upon
to put up the bars to save them.
Then there are others who believe
very differently and want to remove
an Objectionable feature Of the rules,
the same as the Quakers revoked the
rule against woman wearing a
flower or a colored ribbon or trim
ming on her dress, and the same as
the Puritans revoked the rule that
everybody must attend church every
Sunday on pain of death. They
found that the rule did not bring
good results, and after long study of
the subject it was plain that such
rules were not only unavoidable, but
VI Cu lOOO1llOl anu ShO oNOPANAOh SAANe
not only was that rule wrong, but
perhaps some others were too.
If all dancing were conducted as
such and not mixed in with other
forms of amusement the matter
would not be so complicated. But
there are parties where there is
music and somebody may dance to
the music at intervals, and that is
defined as dancing and therefore be-
comes an offense to conscientious
persons who have strong convictions
about it. Then there are many
public functions, parties, school ex-,
ercises and drills where marching
and marking time and stepping to
the music may be counted dancing
or it may not, and people actually be-
come alarmed and rush around in
great trouble over such hair split
ting. 1t has been responsible for a
great deal of worry to young people
who were trying to do as they were
taught and yet be loyal to schools, to
companions and to hosts at social
affairs.
Similar complications arise over

RUSSIA TO EXPORT THREE
MILLION TONS OF GRAIN
Many German Orders For the Coming
Year Are Placed With Repre-
sentatives of Soviet Russia

Berlin. Aug, 15.-Russia's grain ex-
portation this year is burning ques-
ton for Germany, which must buy a
large portion of its ead-stuffs
abroad. Contracts are already report
ed to have been made by German or
CARNATIONS for 40 million gold marks
worth of Russian grain, chiefly rye.
This transaction is said to have been
financed jointly by the German gov
eminent, the German industrialists
and the German bankers.
Krassin and other representatives of
Soviet Russia maintain that the So
Wet government will be able to ex-
port three million tons of grain this
season. They contend that the sea-
son there has been more favorable
than In Central Europe. There has
been more sunshine and no difficulty
is anticipated in harvesting the grain
because of rain. In all the Soviet
government expects to collect about
II million tons of grain this year in
grain taxes, and Is planning to export
almost one-third of this amount.
Grain crops in Germany are In ex-
cellent condition as a result of the
abundant rain which has fallen gradu-
ally throughout the spring and early
summer. But the lack of sunshine
before July has caused apprehension
less there be insufficient heat and
sunshine to ripen the grain and make
harvest possible.

seek SAFETY FROM
DUST EXPLOSIONS
Tests Being Made BY Experts to
Save Industrial Plants

| washington, Aug. 15.--Developmen
of a method of testing the amount OF
explosive dusts In suspension IN the
air at commercial plants. with the
aim OF reducing the number of dis
astrous explosions, Is under way by
engineers of the bureau Of chemistry
OF the department OF agriculture
which expects shortly to announce the
perfection OF successful testing in
strument. Such a device, 1t Is said,
would result in the saving annually
of many lives and an untold amount
of property.
Processes in many industries are
productive OF considerable dust clouds,
which, hanging finely suspended In
the air, form q combination that Is
highly EXPLOSIVE. Among the estab-
Ilishments in this category are grain
elevators, rubber working plants, spice
-four and feed mills and plants in
which powdered sugar, corn starch,
sulphur and aluminium are used or
manufactured.
Through a period OF many years
fires and explosions in these and other
lHQuSIrleb nave taken an 1InemnSe Toll.
The attention Of engineers has been
applied to their prevention, and the
government has organized a labora-
tory under the direction of David j.
Price, in the department of agricul-
ture, for the sole study Of dust explo-
sion prevention. As result fires and
explosions in several industries have
been reduced almost to a minimum;
especially is this true in flour mills.
The problem of the engineers has
been to discover howsmuch dust must
be suspended in the air to form an
explosive mixture. While the lowest
limit was not definitely ascertained, 1t
seems to range from a content of from
to IS ounces OF dust per thousand
cubic feet of air The instrument de-
vised by Mr.. Price and his engineers
is to enable plant engineers to check
up on this condition by drawing the
dust charged air through a paper FL
ter. and comparing the weight of the
collected dust with the amount of air
thus analysed.

PRECAUTIONS MAKE
night FLYING SAFE
Improvements Will Help the
Night Mail Service

Chicago. Aug. 1b.--The meteroligt
cal conditions of the country at NIGH
and the elaborate precautions taker
by the government to guard against
the hazards of night airplane fyine
all will favor the success of night air
mail service when the government
inaugurates this service between Chi
cago and Omaha next Monday night,
according to government air service
officials in statements to The Asso-
ciated Press. The distance is $40
miles.
Air conditions at night, it is pointed
out, are more favorable to flying
than during the day. The r'r''s'
mosphere does away with the
bumps" in the air which are the
cause of lamentations OF day AVA
tors. These bumps" result from the
suns rays coming in contact with the
moistened atmosphere rising from
wooded lands, lakes, rivers, and green
vegetation, (Which forces upward a
strong air current. AS these currents
meet the airplane, the plane has a
tendency to rise and when the avia-
tor flies out of the current the ma
chine Immediately drops.
Airplane motors. as a rule, run bet
ter at night than by day because of
the increase Of oxygen and moisture
in the air, according to aviation Of
ficials. They expressed the belief that
this would add to the success and ef-
ficiency of the governments night
mail service.
Furthermore, large beacon lights
have been installed every 12h miles
between Chicago and Omaha. These
will be kept going continuously
throughout the night and will throw
a swirling flood of light into the air
In addition. lights will food the land
ing fields and indicate to the aviator
the direction the wind is blowing,
To care for the hazards of forced
landings, the airplanes in night serv-
ice will be equipped with wing top
lights controlled from the pilots seat.
Parachute landing flares, also con-
trolled automatically, will be carried
by the aviator. AS he glides his
pinie III a. SIcic III idHulHS, tHe Helu,
wherever the forced landing may hap
pen to be. will be flooded with light.
The wing tip lights will not blind the
aviator's view, but clearly indicate
any distractions underneath him.
Although difficulty was anticipated
in getting aviators to fly the night
shift, approximately rs per cent of
them have expressed desire for this
service. This Is though to be due to
the governments elaborate plan OF
precaution in preparing the night fly
ing program. The government investi-
cation of night flying had extended
over a year and q half, and IL the
present plans prove practical the
route may be extended further west.
