Owner Strike Ups
Purses For Races
At Florida Park
Miam'l, Fla., Dec. 19 AIR)
Purses at Gulfstream Park weve
raised to a $2,000 minimum per
race today as a result of an un
official "strike" by racehorse
owners yesterday. Final settle
ment of the dispute was set for
Jan. 2.
The horse-owners refused to
enter their racers for today's
events until the previous min
imum of $1,500 for purses was
raised. Their action defied a
Florida racing commission or
der which provided for the bar
ring of horsemen who refuse to
accept previously-defined con
ditions concerning purses.
Only 60 horses had been en
tered for today's eight-race card
before the purses were boosted,
but a surge of entries after the
"strike" put the entry list at
normal.

fense.

the order and gave the commis
sion five days to show cause
why it should not be granted,
The action was brought by
W. L. Brann. owner of the

RIVETS FASTEN
SELVES IN PLACE
Wilmington, Del. (U.R) The
development of an improved ex
plosive rivet, which fastens it
self in place by firing a small
explosive charge within the
shank, has been announced by i
E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., j
Inc.
The du Pont explosives de-!
partment said after the explosive
rivets are in place, one person
applies the tip of an electrically
heated iron to the rivet heads. I
The heat sets off the e plosive i
charge in two seconds. As a re-1
suit, the shank of the rivet ex
pands to fill the hole completely,
and a barrel-shaped head forms
on the end to lock the rivet In
place.
The explosive type of "blind"
fastener rivets were used exten !
sively during the war by the;
aircraft industries. Du Pont's !
Improved design eliminates the
necessity for close tolerance !
drilling, and provides rivets for !
use on a wide range of metal
thicknesses. I
The rivets can ,be made of
several alu'minum alloys, brass,
copper, mud steel and mone)
metal. They can be used in con
structing automobiles, prefabri
cated houses, refrigeration sys
tems, air-conditioning systems,
boats, washing machines, and a
host of other household appliances.
The company said the strength i
of the new rivet is slightly lessj
than the old-type solid rivet.
