After waiting in vain for action

After waiting in vain for action
on the part of the Rabbits Of Safed
who apparently were none too anx-
ious to precipitate a proselytizing
activity of such Importance, rs
chiefs Of the tribe submitted a
written application to the govern
ment.
A British official sent to investi-
gate the request and examine the
claims reported that while there
may be some doubt as to the au-
thenticity Of the documents, the
earnestness of the Bedouins' desire
to embrace, or to fe-embrace, Juda-
ism, was unquestionable.
The authorities are understood to
be proceeding very cautiously, fear
ing the effect upon the Moslem and
Christian population of a wholesale
conversion of the tribe.
Although Zionist officials have
been approached, they have taken
no stand in the matter.
The question Of the direct des-
cent from the Jews Of certain Bed
ouin tribes Of Upper Galilee and the
Sinai peninsula has engaged at va
rous times the attention oil Orien-
talists. There is a belief that tht
/ t ews remaining in Palestine after
the destruction of the Jewish ma
ton managed to remain true, per
haps clandestinely, to their faith
until forced by Omar to exchange
their religion for that of Islam
! Since then they are believed to have

Dust Explosions
Cause Much Loss

Madison, Wis.-Dust explosions in
the United States cause loss of more
than $31,000,O00 yearly, according to
W. A. Price who is in Madison con-
fering with the state industrial COM
mission. Price is attached to the
federal bureau of chemistry and has
made extensive Investigations of dust
explosions.
"In addition to the huge property
loss, such explosions can be blamed
for 1,146 casualties in 1929" he said
.'The new developments of industry
are giving rise to new by-products
and new processes. This increases
| the hazards.
| Ignition is easy in the case of any
wood, starch, aluminium or bronze
dust. Seven one-thousandths of an
ounce of starch dust in a cubic foto
of atmosphere is sufficient to cause
an explosion.
| The problem also has an agricul-
tural sidelight. The harvest fields of
the northwest suffer a great many ex-
plosions Of threshing machines. As
many as four hundred are known to
have exploded in six weeks time.
lneSe explosions were formerly at
tributed to the work of I. w, w
agents but they are now known to
have been caused by the ignition of
smut dust through friction with the
cylinders of the machine.
| Gone of the objects of industrial
commissions is the rendering of plants
safe for workers. Few people think
| of this industrial danger until after
an explosion has taken place. We are
trying to work out a system Of meas
ures of prevention"
