from the ruins of the laboratory, had
been given first aid treatment on the
spot and were on their way to Provi-

and burned about the face. and were
unconscious when they reached the
hospital.
In the meantime a fire alarm was
sounded from the navy yard, calling
half a dozen District engine COM
panies to the assistance of the yard
company to handle any possible fire
and dig Though the ruins in a
search for other possible victims. The
firemen labored under great danger,
the roof of the ruined structure
threatening to crash down upon them
any minute.
To add to the excitement, number
Of large shells that had been blown
out of the laboratory began smoking,
and when a shout of warning was
given the crowd that had gathered
departed precipitately to the shelter
they peeped upon the scene while
marines stamped out the smoking
fuses. 1t was later learned that the
shells were not loaded.
Finally the roof was pulled down,
completing the demolition of the CEN
trail house. Only a small tray Of ex-
plosives remained in the laboratory
after the explosion, and this was re-
moved by navy yard employees as
soon as they could approach it with

LACK Of HOUSING
BLAMED FOR BLAST
Officials Say Inadequate
Building for Explosive Tests
Caused Navy Yard Wreck.

An inadequate building for the
housing of an experimental labora-
tory is largely blamed by naval Of
ficers today for the serious havoc
wrought by an explosion in the mine
department of the navy yard late
yesterday. badly injuring two men
demolishing one building and Sc
verely battering two others.
Although the exact cause of the
blast will not be made public until a
court of inquiry has been convened
to take evidence and place the blame
officers pointed out that in the mine
experimental laboratory the workers
are obliged to handle dangerous ex.
plosives withoua being adequately
protected from possible injury.
The building in which yesterday:
explosion occurred originally was
three brick dwellings. They were
opened into one and now house the
la laboratory. Explosives, it was point
ed out, should be handled only in
structures built especially for the
purpose so that in the event of ar
accident the concussion would not be
so closely confined as it was yester-
day.
House Is Destroyed.
The central house, in which the

walls. 1t is believed the latter two

question whether either will ever
again be used for a laboratory.

The fact that the explosion occur

to have prevented possible loss OF
life. AS rule many officers and

'The whole thing Is too absurd for

Scientists know enough about
Mars to convince them that human

WINDSHIELD CLEANER
DEMANDED IN WINTER
Automatic Device Is Valuable
Safeguard, Not Interfering
With Driving.

The first essential of safe driving
or safe walking-is to be able to see
where you are going. Stormy weather
brings increased hazards and difficult
ties, not the least of which is the OBJ
scuring of the motorists vision
through snow, sleet or rain on the
windshield 1t is difficult to see the
road clearly in stormy weather, and
it is impossible to drive safely, un-
less the windshield at least is clear.
Every car used in winter months in
most climates should be equipped
with windshield cleaner, either au-
tomato or manually operated. The
automatic device is a great conve-
nience and a valuable safeguard, as
it permits you to keep both hands on
the steering wheel, where they should
be at all times while driving.
Coating the windshield with n mix
ture of equal parts of alcohol and
glyeerin may be of some help in
keeping the windshield clear. but
don't depend on it in a heavy storm
