HISTORY OF
DYNAMITE
THEN
Forty-six years ago today the first
official tests of dyninalto In KnK
land wero made. The hills around
Morstham shook beneath the mighty
'brntlons of a now explosive horn
to civilisation. It had been dlsco
ered by Alfred Nobel, of Sweden,
mid Its experimental tests made In
thu nreccdliiK year. Nobel created
It to tnke the place of the untamed
iiltro-glycerlno which had appalled
the world for sovoral years with Its
fiflm tragedies. The Inventor had
lost his father mid a brother when
his nltro-glycerlno factory had blown
up a few years boforo his discovery.
Its death toll was such that Eng
land, Uelglum and Sweden forbade
Its manufacture. The world was
arousud when ns a climax to Its
record a ship loaded with nitrogly
cerine blow up In mid-ocean while
on Its way from Europe to Chill,
and tho governments were on the
point of prohibiting Its use. It wns
then that Nobel began his experi
ments toward taming nltro-glycerlne
mid created dynamite, or "giant
powder" as It was first called In
the United States. In his world
wide propaganda to eonvlncu govern
ments that dynnmlto was a safe
explosive, the Inventor camo to Amer
ica. It was while ho was register
ing at n small hotel In New York
that he casually exclaimed to the
hotel clerk that his satchel contain
ed dynamite. The clerk firmly or
dered Nobel to seek other quarters,
and was relieved when he went out
of tho door.
NOW
Today dynamlto Is holng manu
factured In tho United States at the
rato of no, 000, 000 pounds a year.
Filling r.000 freight cars, It Is con
stantly being transported over the
railroads of tho country. Though
It Is the third most powerful cxplo
Hive In general use, It has been tam
ed so that railroad companies re
ceive It for transportation almost as
readily ns they do coal. Nitrogly
cerin, however, Is still under the
transportation ban In both the Unit
ed States and Europe. Dynamlto Is
today ouo of the most Important
factors In tho progress of civiliza
tion. Without It tho mighty en
gineering achievements tho Panama
Canal, tho mountain and river tun
nels could not be accomplished. It
takes an important part In building
thu modern skyscrapers; It Is used
to mine thu necessary huge quanti
ties of Iron mid othor metals that
enter Into structures. It blasts out
tho millions of tons of coal that
supply heat, light and powor, and
glvo llfo to tho locomotives that
bring food and clothing to tho pop
ulaco of cities. It Is helping to
grow tho food wo eat tho modern
scientific farmer uses It to plaw
his land, Us explosions shattering
tho sub-soil which no plow over
reaches. It Is said to Increaso tho
crops greatly In qunllty nnd at least
by fifty per cent In quantity. Todny
dynamlto Is used to fight groat con
flagrations, to flKbt warn ami n nm.
pare for a largo part of tho progress
of tho world.

nnlTR remarkable favor shown by the L
1 Jmnfmd nubile to Reminiilon-UMC rifles
and shotguns, shot shells and metallics means just
one thing
That sportsmen everywhere are becoming more con
scious o)' their desire for the dependability that they find
only in Remington-UMC arms and ammunition.
So you see the keen sportsman, when buying a new rifle or
nlmtcTiin. rm tn thfi denier who disDiava the Red Ball Mark of Rem
ington-UMC Or if he is already fitted with a rifle or shotgun, his J
tendency is more and more to shoot Kemington-UMC shot shells
and metallics the ammunition that flatters any make of gun.
The Red BJl Mark of Rcmington-UMCfmd the dealer who
displays it. Loc!c for it on every box of ammunition you buy.
To keep your gun cleaned and lubricated right, use Rem Oil,
the new powder solvent, rust preventative, and gun lubricant.

Thu wonder of tho modern womnn
Is Hint alio can bo "clothed with
modesty," yet wear It so very fluff
Hy. that ono acareoly notices It.
The first siKu or u KIrla lovo Is
her deslro to run her fingers through
a man's hair; the first sign of a
man's Is the self-control he exhibits
when ho uIIowh her to do it.
There Is so much wisdom In n fool
nnd so much fool In the wheat man
that to a normal woman they are
hut too slightly different hinds of
ha by.
It Is always u shock to a girl to
marry a man who adores her "little
white lunula." and then disco or that
ho expects her to use them for peel
ing onions and broiling steak.
Tho "long, long thoughts of youth"
are nothing to the thoughts of a
woman of thlrty-three. who has not
y't met the right man. or Is man led
to tho wrong ono.
Whon a man Hes and dlos a bach
elor, it Is not so often because ho
nas never seen th ti..i.. ..
mi because he has seen too much of
the wrong kind.
