Everyone knows that dust; be it of coal, wood, flour, or pa-' : per, la sometimes explosive. It de ., pends on Juet the exact admixture .with air- a grain too little or a grain too -much but u o one knows the, exact danger point. The society of German Engin- eers devoted a special session of , . "dust experts" here to look lnto4 ' the degree of explosiveness and also into the injury done by in , dustrial r dust to human organ r Isms, notably the lungs and the . . skin. : Dr. Teleky of . Dusseldorf said . - that there are no adequate means for measuring dust particles, which would.be highly desirable, as then machinery could be ad Justed accordingly. Injury to tha . human system depends . not so much on whether dust particles - are sharp edged, but on their sise - and chemical composition. - 'i ' - Relations between dust and hu , midity ; also- remain much of a mystery. Experiments have shown . the fallacy of the belief that hu - mid air Is necessarily more dust : free than dry air. The reverse Is often the ease.

Old Spanish Days Brought Back in La Fiesta Pageant I Salem Librarian Asserts ' Miss Beatrice Olin. member of the city library staff, has Just re turned fiom a month spent In Santa Barbara, Calif.; where it seems real romance still lives for at least two weeks in August each Tear. . . The first week in August this year was given over to regatta races in the Santa Barbara bar- fbpr where flSe.OOQ has just been spent to create a good racing course for motor boats. The fig ures sound mercenary but Miss hOlln says the results are so beau tiful as to obliterate such " mun dane thing as' the', dollar mark. What vrUh ' gay clothes, brilliant water, graceful boats and myrmd lights for tne evening affairs the whole becomes fairyland. '" From a week of 'water sports and. achievements Santa Barbara's population suddenly turned back to the days of Spanish rule and ushered, in the La Fiesta celebra tion which la held each August. when the moon is full," for with out moonlight there would be no romance in i Spanish night life would be lost. . Early Spanish Costumes, Worn by Everybody Everybody In the city of Santa Barbara, according to Miss Olin, from the Mexican workman to the most dignified business man and the most gentile old Castillan Spanish resident, dons ' the' cos tumes of the early Spanish days in California when California was still under the rule of the house of De La Guerra. The streets be come lined with men in velvet suits, black, broad brimmed' hats with .chin straps, capes and high heeled shoes; the .women in long flowing skirts and-bodice dresses forget the spirit of the flapper and become demure and stately in their lace mantillas. Wherever one goes daring the La Fiesta week there la the click of the castanet and the lovely swaying of the jold Spanish music and everybody Is dancing, dancing, dancing: And there is romance and beauty living and breathing again as It did in those luxurious and indolent Spanish days. Many Features Mark Week's Activities . "The past Is recalled by pageant; play and parade. Each night- of La Fiesta a play depleting thei old life is given. This year it was "18 18" and in it. as Is often the case in these plays, a descendant of one of the fiction character played the part of the character. A pageant, which each year pic tures the historical life of the city and, surrounding country. Is given two nights of the week. It is given in the great Santa Barbara civic bowl. This year cowboys of the Texas range caused the old. range days to live for the audience,' and a wedding fiesta portrayed the lar ishness with which : such - cere-? monies were once accompanied the very lavlshness which caused Provide - Vsary - iarat Cj Timf rr The the Spanish to live in the day at hand with never a thought of the morrow with eventual financial distress as a result. Immense Parade Is Morning Featore On the morning of the La Fies ta a great parade la arranged. AU the most prominent people of the city appear. Beautiful ; horses are an outstanding feature. This year Will Roger's two children rode in this parade as did William Gibbe McAdpo. , .

And following the dinner Paul TVhiteman's orches tra played in the civic court for the dancers. ' The striking characteristics of La Fiesta, according to Miss Olin. are color in clothes of both men and women and in the flags of the three countries, Mexico, Spain and America romance and danc ing that is enjoyed everywhere and all the time, day and light.

Part of this old home is the beautiful Plaza restaurant, but the Senorlta keeps a share of It to harbor the lovely heirlooms of her people's early life, and In which to. revive the old memories once a year during La Fiesta. She is, according to -Miss Olin who met her; a round little lady, with white hair, done high' and pierced, with a black comb, and she wears 'the Spanish dress and mantilla with superb dignity, giylig each guost a gracious and Imperious hand as she meets htm. .
