Power of Bomb Raised
1O-Fold. Says Inventor

SALT LAKE CITY.-A young Utah
inventor, j. Lloyd Peterson, is COM
pleting work on a demolition bomb
that he believes will be 10 times as
deadly as any explosive now known.
United States army authorities
have inspected the missile and pri-
vately described it as the first new
step in bomb development in the last
decade.
Pilots at the Fifth Air Base in Salt
Lake City have been authorized to
test the bomb when Peterson finishes
it.
According to the inventor, the new
bomb will have several advantages
over present types OF aerial explo-
sives.
1t is inexpensive to manufacture,
employs materials readily available.
and in unlimited quantities, and IS
much safer to handle than bombs
now in use.
Until it is released from an air
plane bomb rack. its trigger
pulled, the bomb won't explode.
Army fiiers say plane could make
a forced landing on rough terrain
while loaded with the bombs, and
without danger.

OVER MILLION DOLLARS
IN UPPER WORKINGS

Morning Glory Mines, Inc, is pre-
pairing to install a $4,000 mill at
the keystone mine. l6 miles north
of Troy. A three compartment raise
; has been started and it is expected
that the raise and building of the
mill will be completed within six
months The raise will cost Sl5.-
900 and this and cost of installing
the mill has been financed by loan,
with the Keystone given as security.
A report by the directors says
that the raise will follow the hang
ing wall side of the vein on an angle
of As degrees from the Amman
tunnel to the lowest producing level
of the mine, distance of 900 feet.

will be run in both directions at
intervals of $50 feet from the up

stopping areas along the Goldfllnt
and the Keystone ore shoots on both
sides of the raise.
This should determine the status
of the mine as a source of an ex-

tion.' it is declared. The upper
workings have been the source of a
large production for many years.
To be situated below the Am

will be actuated by certain power

flow sheet has been prepared after
exhaustive tests with Keystone ore.

the gold will be extracted as boul-

How To Prevent
Cleanup Hurts
Simple Measures Stop
House, Garden Accidents

Spring cleaning time - indoors
and out--brings with it many UNI
necessary hazards to life and limb
which are likely to produce the
customary crop of seasonal acct
dents unless housekeepers and gar
deners exercise simple measures of
precaution, say the safety engineers
of the National Conservation Blu
reau. accident prevention division
of the Association of Casualty and
Surety Executives.
This does not mean that injury
or perhaps even death Turk behind
every broom and every hoe says
Edward r. Granniss, chief indus
trial engineer of the accident pre-
vention organization. But the sta
tistics of plain experience prove
that mighty little acts of negligence
produce tragic results sometimes.
Falls Claim Many Victims
Believe it or not, more than
half of the unbelievably large num-
Der of casualties of the annual
cleanup season invariably result
from falls. Similarly, infections de-
veloping in neglected or improperly
treated cuts, scratches, burns and
bisters send an amazing number
of people to hospitals every spring
Not few such accidents result ia
tally. Improper use of insecticides
cleaning materials and paint account
for other casualties.
The pity of it all is that the
simplest. most elementary sort OF
precautlon can prevent all of them
II is not possible list all of the
simpler prevention measures that
can be used, but for those who want
to avoid injury, or possibly death
here are a few.
When you're washing walls OF
hanging screens. or reaching fol-
other high places, don't stand or
boxes, tables. or chairs, use a good
stepladder. Protect your hands with
gloves when using cleaning mate
rails, insecticides. sharp instru-
ments, etc.
Treat That Scratch Carefully
"Screwdrivers, hoes, shears, rakes
saws. spades, trowels, etc, have
sharp edges; don't leave them
around where you or others car
walk on or stumble over them
Rusty nails can be as venomous a.
rattler's fangs; pull them out OF
drive them in.
If you cut or scratch yourself
cleanse the wound thoroughly, USE
good antiseptic, cover with a ster.
lie bandage. if the wound doesn'
heal properly, see the doctor. AL.
ways keep poisons out of the reach
of children and follow the manu-
9facturer's direction for their use.
Sitting on the sill while wash
ing windows has caused many fata
falls. Windows can be manipulated
simply to clean them from the in
side of the room. If you can't dc
| it that way, better spend few
dollars to have a professional win
dow cleaner do the outside part oil
the job than to be crippled or prob
ably killed.
Avoid over-exertion and over
exposure to the sun. Strained mus
Giles and blistered skin may result
in serious complications. Work into
your more active hot-weather liv-
| ing gradually. The benefits will be
far greater

Relief Map ShoWs
america in Detail
Completed after II Years
OF Construction.

WELLESLEY, MASS. - Like
Rome, the worlds largest United
States map wasn't built in a day.
1t has just been completed after II
years OF construction.
The $780, 900 project covers 5000
square feet and is housed in spe-
cially constructed building at the
Babson institute. Spectators view
the lotion relief model from a a.
foot balcony.
From Atlantic to Pacific the map
measures ga feet and from Canada
to Mexico 46 feet. One inch repre-
sents four miles. 1t is the first map
to be built on curved surface. The
curve rises seven feet in exact pro-
portion to the earth's curvature.
Roger W. Babson, statiStician and
founder of the institute. conceived
the giant-map idea during the World
war.
The Harvard geographic sculptor,
George Carroll Curtis, was hired but
died two years after beginning the
task. Work proceeded spasmodical-
ly until January, 1888, when 34-year-
old DR.. Wallace w. Atwood Jr. of
Clark university took charge.
The model has buff-colored land
and blue water bodies. Mount Whit
ney in California, the nations high
est mountain, stands Ala inches
on the map though it really is a.
495 feet high.
DR.. Atwood says the map would
have tremendous military value dur
ing wartime. "Airplane pilots could
be taught the countrys topography.
Also, if the United States were at
tackled, the map would be useful in
planning and directing defenses."
Twelve hundred nodded plaster Of
paris blocks form the maps surface.
Each block measures one degree lat
itude by one degree longitude.
