1t always struck me rs kinda
funny until found out from one
of the gang that this husky fell

and when she chucked him they
called him Dolly to tease him.
The nickname stuck to him like
porous plaster. At first he was
going to lick, 'em for it, but after
awhile he got used to it. / guess
by this time he'd think it was

chemists discovered the blasts re-
suited from an accumulation of
dust within the threshers, which
exploded as the result of sparks
caused by static electricity.
Wires On Threshers.
Subsequently threShing machines
were equipped with miniature
lightning rods, which grounded
the static electricity, preventing
spark. This has practically
ended thresher explosions.
Following this probe a grain ele.
vator at Chicago exploded, with a
tremendous loss of property and
several deaths. Chemists found
the air within the building had be-
come saturated with grain dust,
which was probably set off by an
electric spark.
It was explained at the Bureau
Of Chemistry that a series of ex-
plosions usually occurs before a
mill or elevator is destroyed. The
first, of insignificant proportions,
shakes up dust piles throughout the
mill, filling the air with a suf-

invariably follows dust blast.
The Department of Agriculture IS
now carrying on an extensive cam

piles. Such action, it is hoped, will
eliminate destructive explosions.

GRAIN DUST
EXPLOSIVE
U. S. Experts Discover 1t Is
Cause of Many Blasts in

BY ROBERT 8. THORNBURGHEt
International News Service.

: Study of dust explosions in mines,
mills and grain elevators by Fed
eral chemists has led to the dis
covery of an explosive fully as
potent as INT, which may De
developed as a tremendously de-
structive agent in case of war.
Experimenters in the Bureau of
Chemistry, of the Department OF
Agriculture are able to force a
small quantity of plant dust into
a miniature building, generate
an electric ozark within, and see
the structure blown to fragments.
Provided a proper mixture OF
plant dust and air is obtained an
explosion invariably follows the
application of fire. For expert
ments to demonstrate the danger
of accommodations of plant dust q
candle is placed in a model ele-
vator When dust is injected the

a terrific bang.
May Be Used in War.
The more imaginative experts
conceived the idea of applying the
discovery to warfare, utilizing
plant dust as an explosive instead
Of gunpowder. The plain has its
difficulties, but it is believed pos
sible to work out a successful
method.
The study of dust explosions
originated in the Bureau Of Mines
in the investigation of blasts
which wrecked coal mines. Mine
explosions, it developed, are or
two characters-those caused by
gas and others caused by dust.
Coal dust is essentially the same
as plant dust found in elevators,
grain threshers and flour mills.
The Bureau of Mines transferred
a part Of the investigation to the
Bureau Of Chemistry. During one
season, in the State Of Washing
ton, 800 threshing machines ex-
ploded, with a big property loss
and many casualties. An investi-
gator was dispatched by the Ag-
ricultural Department to conduct
a probe.

Pest Aided by Unfavorable Wealth

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August Every
citizen of the United States and OF
most of the other civilized coun-
tries Of the world Is going to be af-
fected by what the weather and the
boil weevil do to the cotton crop in
the next few months. The amount
of American cotton in existence the
world over. or ''carry-over," as II is
called on the first Of this month was
the smallest in history. 1t amounted
to 2.573.000 bales, according to re-
liable sources. This compared with
an average carry-over for the last
six years of over 100000 bales.
The present carry-over. added to
the coming crop, which is estimated
by the government experts at H.
$4,000 bales, points to possible
supply OF 14,089.000 bales for the cur
country and the world for over a
full year from this date. but the
amount may be even less If the crop
does not come uD to the official
estimate.
\ year ago the government pre-
dicted crop of 11.449,00O bales and
the indicated supply, including the
carry-over for that year of 4,s79.-
ooO Dales, was l6,328,OOO bales. The
crop after that prediction shrunk
rapidly. owing to drought and boil
weevil ravages and turned out to be
nearly 100000 bales less than ex-
pected; The actual. supply was re-
duced by that amount This was the
principal cause for tho high prices
OF cotton
There is every indication that
American consumption will continue
10 increase in the next twelve months.
If the American demand goes UP at
the rate maintained in the last year
and the foreign demand returns to
It's level of two years ago, 14336.000
bales would be required or 214, 900
bales more than this country will
have available in the season OF
l923-24 under the most favorable con-
editions Even If consumption shows
no increase, the margin between the
amount which will be consumed and
the amount available will be 400. 600
| bales under the normal average.
II can readily be seen. therefore
, that what the weather and the boil
weevil do must affect the price of the
cotton products used by every man
woman and child in this country.
That pest has cut the south's cot
, ton crop $4,000 900 bales in the last
