BELGIUM WILL BE

Balloon Contest Secured for
 Country, Denuyter Says

= New York, Oct, R}-Captain Ernest Dcmuytcr Belgian balloon lst, who participated in the James Gordon Bennett balloon races this year, announced today just before sailing for Belgium on the steam ship Mcrcicr that Belgium would be the scene of the James Gordon Bennett balloon races in 1930.
 Belgium will celebrate the tooth anniversary of its independence next year and two great intcrna- tional affairs will be held.
 Captain Dcmuyter came 10 the United States as an economic en- voy of Belgium as well as a bal loohist and met many prominent Americans for the purpose of dis cussing tariff conditions and the trade relations between Belgium and tho United States.
 "Belgium is a small country and lives chiefly on its manufactured products" said Captain Demuytcr We purchase much grain, cotton and wool, and also many automo- piles from the United States. We must export glass cement, iron and brick 10 pay for these purchases and we are hopeful that United States tariffs will not be such as to bar Belgian products from the United States with the result that Belgium must buy its raw ma terials elsewhere"
 Captain Domuytcr expressed sat iSfaction that Whitney Warren had been successful in getting a court decision which will restore the original inscription on the balus- trade of Louvain university, He said the Belgian people are not vindic- tive, but they cannot forget what they suffered in the war

foot must have jerked the devilfish up short,
for he was quiet for an instant.
Young Caswell yelled, Hey you fools, come
here and help mel" I guess that was the ap-
propriate remark for such situation. At any
rate, 1t woke US up, and we all scrambled over
the motor and started for the bow Of the boat.
But before we reached him he had already
swung himself aboard and was running toward
the stern.
There he made the line fast around strong
iron pin at the very rear of the boat, where he
could use the power Of the motor and the skill
of the pilot to battle the brute strength Of the
monster.
We saw q dark form and a dash Of spray,
almost quarter Of mile away, as the devil
fish came to the surface. and then the sea was
quiet again, except for the whitecaps and
rough waves. Just then the Squall broke over
us. Waves rose higher under the wind, and
hard rain came down, driving against us like
needles. One moment our lips tasted salty
from spray as waves dashed against the boat,
and the next they were washed clean by the
sweet water from above.

MORE than million and a quarter Of
Az workers and more than $4,000, 100000
in property are exposed every day Of operation
in $4,000 industrial plants Of this country to
the danger of disastrous explosions through
dust.
To guard this army Of workers and this
huge amount of property, the Department Of
Agriculture, through its Bureau Of Chemistry
and Soils, has conducted long investigation
of dust explosions and the causes and reme-
dies. David j. Price has been the principal
chemical engineer In charge Of the investiga-
ton.
Nearly hundred dust explosions, in IS diff
ferent lines of industrial activity, exclusive Of
the grain industry, have been investigated re-
Gently, revealing that advancing efficiency has
brought about a greater danger of explosion
through the speeded-up production and greater
output OF by-products from waste matter.
The greatest immediate danger, and the one
to be tackled first, is the explosion which ac-
companies fires. Such explosions are not
only a menace to property, but stand an
immediate and highly dangerous threat to the
fire fighters themselves. It has been shown
to be q frequent occurrence that the very
water thrown on the fire to Quench 1t has
resulted In terrific dust explosion.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-11-03
Fighting Dust Explosions:

Mr.. Price has classified the explosions as
follows: Those which have taken place when
firemen attempted to remove the contents OF
bins or other Enclosures, materials which are
usually in powdered form and readily ignite;
explosions which may be called the exposure
hazard Of firemen, and occur some time after
the IRE starts as a result of falling floor
or the dropping Of the bottoms Of bins, which
forces cloud Of dust into the IRE; and ex-
plosions that have followed the use Of
heavy stream OF water, which, when striking
pile of powdered material forces the dust into
the flames.
There is still another type Of explosion which
results when the application of water to some
kinds Of dust causes the formation Of ex-
plosive gases by chemical reaction, as. for in
stance in the case of water striking hot alumni
mum powder which generates hydrogen gas
The first campaign to prevent such explo-
sions is to be carried on among firemen them
selves They viii be urged to acquaint them
selves with the nature of the buildings and
stocks of manufacturing establishments which
they might be called upon to save, and,
through such study, to know better how to
carry on their fire fighting and to avoid causing
dust explosions.

EDITORS NOTE: The word

EDITORS NOTE: The word
"devilhsh" is variously used to
cover huge cuttlehsh, an octo-
pus, the gray whale of California,
or the gigantic rays that are found
in the warmer American waters.
A ray is fish close to the shark
family. There are many species,
most of them dwelling at the sea-
bottom. The devilfish of this
article is a ray Of the gigantic
variety found in the Gulf of
Mexico and on the Southern
coasts of the United States.
These devilfsh are sometimes IS
or 20 feet wide and several feet
thick.

THE skipper hauled in his harpoon by the
hah-inch manila rope attached to it. and
one Of the fellows who was nearby said there
was queer look in his eye, and he chanted
softly but savagely, "Devilfish, devilfsh, come
up again. crave blood and battlel"
We all went back to our fishing. Personally,
I was glad the harpoon had missed. I had
come to catch fish, not to fight monsters. Our
young skipper had already forgotten the inn
pending Squall. He was looking for devilfish.
In the meantime we were still having rotten
luck with our mackerel. They just wouldn't
bite in such rough water.
Suddenly young Caswell sang out Devil
fshl" I reeled in my line in a jiffy, and
gained vantage point to watch the excite
ment.
Our vigilant skipper had sighted the monster
about 100 yards away, and he gave directions
to the pilot so the boat slid up beside the sea
beast, while CasweI held his harpoon ready
to strike. At the proper instant his arm shot
downward, driving the heavy spear deep
through the monsters back and into its vitals.
The skipper held up the handle of the har-
pooh and jerked it back just as the injured
monster sounded, the spearhead caught deep
in its back Then Caswen caught up the rope
loosely with his right hand, and let it slip
through his fingers. We could hear 1t sing
over the side of the boat, a half-inch twist OF
rough manila, almost unbreakable. 1t ran out
so fast that it looked smooth.
There was never q pause in the uncoiling OF
the rope, as IL went out nundreo yaruS, 2UOs
800 and more. The line was 1850 feet long,
nearly a quarter Of mile, and it was almost
paid out, when q coil caught around the young
harpooner'S leg. He was jerked into the air,
and shot over the side Of the boat like q
plummetl
AS young Caswen went over the gunwale
his amazing ability for quick thinking saved
the battle. The rope was almost out. Only q
few feet were left, and most Of that was taken
UP in the coil around his ankle.
The stress was taken off this coil as he rose
with it, and it whipped of his foot and ran
out. In the meantime he sailing through
the air toward the sea, with the rope in his
right hand and his left arm free. He hooked
the elbow of this arm around stanchion, and
hung there with his feet in the water. quick,
tight grip Of his right hand on the rope caught
it within yard of the endl A few more inches
and it would have slipped out and let the mon
ster get away, for no fishing boat could have
hoped to catch the line again as the crazed
beast sped through the water.
I am afraid we all stood open-mouthed while
our guide hung there, with ton OF animated
nightmare fastened to the other end of the rope
he held. But the jolt as the line caught his
