ONLY ONE KILLED IN EXPLOSION OF
 NITROCLYCERINE

Tulsa, Okla. March 14-(UP)-- Investigators were convinced to-day that at least one person was killed when 400 quarts of nitroglycerin exploded near here with a report that was heard 70 miles away.
 Scraps of clothing and bits of automobile wreckage were found near the huge crater made by the blast at the American Glycerin com pany warehouse. The explosion was so powerful it shattered windows in Tulsa, seven miles away.
 Authorities advanced the theory that thief stumbled and fell as he was leaving the warehouse with a container of explosive. A handker- chief with the laundry mark NICE. and a card bearing the name of Thomas Guilfoyle were found.

 It was the biggest jewel robbery ever committed in Florida, and was done, Sheriff R. c. Baker believes, by a New York gang of bandits who have committed several other rob- berries along the east coast recently.

TROOP A

AhOOx III
On Tuesday evening, March "a,
Troop A held their regular week
ly meeting at the Nogales Armory.
The meeting opened at 7:3O with
the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag
and the Scout Oath, led by Senior
Patrol Leader Robert Frazier.
When the attendance had been
taken and the dues collected the
patrols had their Patrol Half-hour
during which they discussed things
pertaining to the patrol welfare.
Contestants for the Greenway
Field Meet were then chosen. This
field meet, by the way, will be held
in Tucson, on April II, and scouts
from all over will participate. The
events all pertain to Scouting and
will demonstrate the proficiency of
the individual scout.
The scouts then practised march
ing, with the Senior Patrol Leader
in command, and the boys were then
dismissed at 900 P. NJ
After the dismissal, a twenty-five
minute Patrol Leaders meeting was
held.
TROOP 45
On Thursday, March 26, Troop 45
held their regular weekly meeting
at the Methodist Church. After the
roll was taken the Scribe read the
minutes of the previous meeting.
Senior Patrol Leader Everett
Payne and Scout Dan Bracker of
Troop 40 then demonstrated max
ing fire by friction This was done
by means of a leather thong
strung on a wooden bow and hav-
ing a spindle made of yucca twist
ed on the thong. One end of this
spindle was put in hole in the
yucca nearCn, ana the OLIler e1lO OF
the spindle was in a block Of wood
held in the hand. BY moving the
bow, the spindle was made to twirl
in the hole in the hearth, and the
heat generated by the friction
makes a spark which when applied
to some tinder makes fire.
The scouts then practised the
Fireman's Garry and after some
drilling by Senior Patrol Leader
Payne the boys were dismissed.

Modification or AbrOgatiOn
Of Electric Consent Decree?

The Public Utilities Commission has found beyond ques
ton Electric Power Company is getting
unreasonaby large from of electricity in the
District old consent decree The
mission people of Washington know that the
company has enjoyed excessive returns for years.
Having doubts this question the commission trying
decide between outright abrogaon of the existing
modification that will down the big profits OF the
company and give benefits to Of electricity
It is indeed problem that deserves careful consideration
which there easily arise much difference Of
opinion It is matter too that produce prolonged court
litigation for other than that the company
will naturally try to hold mighty good thing and
best do this by wearisome court processes.
Modification of the decree would presumably be by agree
ment between the commission and the company If
such agreement be reached litigation might be avoided
and the public get just bit in lower rates The
pany would at the time still returns that would be
most liberal.
Abrogaon of the consent decree would force revaluao
Of the power company properties and the establishment of
electric light rates based upon valuation
It appears be conclusive that the u c. has the authority
and to do this but this the route that promises endless
litigation prolonged waste of time in valuation and rate hear
ng all of which would entange the best interests of the pub
lie in inextricable for indefinite period
Our experiences with public utilities here teach that this
is what may be expected, though it should not be.
The ordinary citizen unable understand why the
should operate under special court DEGREES that
big advantages and it in favored position other pub
lie utilities but that viewpoint does help the commission de-
eide whether pull the fat electric calf from its existing
supply merely diminish the amount of getting and
possibly a lot of trouble.

the nroblem. The scientist
eNeks conclusive evidence, In
the material universe 1tsen'
that it is a sort of cosm1c per
petual motion machine.
If the sun, planets and stars
under our immediate observar
tion are gradually losing
weight, mass, heat and energy
NAV it not be true that a con-
trary process is taking plaoS
elsewhere in the universe? AZ
the cosmos breaks down IN one
part of the universe. may N
not be building itself up In
some other part?
Finds Plausible Evidence
R. E. Millikan, the American
nhvsicist. has found within very
recent years some plausible eVl'
dence for upholding the latter
view. The cosmic rays, which
come to us apparently from the
deeper recesses Of inter-stellar
space. indicate that they are
formed, not from the dislnte-
grafton of elements, but from
the formation of one element
out of another element.
The energy of the cosmlc ray
is precisely ten times that OF
the hardest gamma ray, which
emanates from radium. This
is the figure shown by Ashton,
the Cambridge physicist, for the
energy liberated from the for
nation of helium out of hydro
gen.
Saws Milliken: "If atom for
nation out of hydrogen is TAX
ing place all through space, as
it seems to be doing, it may be
that the hydrogen also is some
how being replenished there
from the only form Of energy,
that we know to be all the time
leaking out from the stars to
the interstellar space, namely,
radiant energy" Here is per
haps a little of experimental
finger-printing in the direction
of a Creator still on the job.

The crowd which had col
