Dynamite Blast
Hurts 12 Workers
Chapman, Ala. ' (UPJ
Twelve workers at the strike
bound W. T. Smith Lumber Co.
plant here were injured today
when dynamite exploded under
a steel drum used for heating
purposes.
Sheriff Worth Thomas said
one of the men was seriously
injured. All 12 were hospitaliz
ed in Greenville.
The sheriff said the non-union
workers built fires in the drum
in the lumber yard to keep
warm during cold weather.
Thomas said the men placed
their fire in the drum right on
on top of the dynamite charge
which went off.
The sheriff said the blast blew
the steel drum "all to pieces."
Heaid steel fragments struck
men, grouped about the drum, in
the faces and over their bodies.
Thomas said the dynamite
apparently was placed under the
drum over tfie week end.
The huge W. T. Smith Lumber
Co., with plants here and in
nearby Greenville, has been
strikebound since 3uly when
the International Woodworkers
of American union called its
members off their jobs.
The strike has been punctuat
ed br explosions and other vio-lencej-)

3. The beaver, unlike a fish,
continues to grow throughout its
lifetime.
4. A flatfish has been known
to change his color to blend with
a black-and-white checkered
background.
5. The new word lemming of
the northland, a close relative
of the mouse, changes its color
to winter white.
6. A wind blowing 40 miles
an hour exerts a force against
a wall eight times as great as
that of a ten-mile wind.
7. An Arctic fox has such a
sensitive nose that it can smell
out mice buried under snow. ;
8. Among poisonous plants are
lupine, rhododendron, laurel, to
mato and oleander-
9. Some bird's feathers, like
those of the albatross, outweigh
their skeleton.
10. The caribou's hair is hol
low which enables it to float
better and swim more easily.
II. The wing strokes of birds
vary. Match these birds Duck, I
bluejay, pelican, sparrow, and 1
screech owl with the follow-
ing wingstrokes per minute: 1.
780; 2. 540; 3, 300; 4. 200; 5.
70. (Five each; 25 points).
III. The size among adult
male and female of the same

Take these animals and
fit them in their proper cate
gories in respect to this var
iation beaver, walrus, mink,
Alaska fur-bearing seal, whale
bone whale. (Five points each;
25 points).
Answers; I. 3. 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and
10 are correct. Two is wrong be
cause, due to retention of heat in
cities, trees tend to bud earlier;
and 6, because the wind exerts
a force 16 times as strong.
II. The sparrow, 780; the
duck, 540; the screech owl, 300;
the bluejay 200; the pelican, 70.
III. 1. The Alaska fur-bearing
seal; 2. the walrus; 3. the mink;
4. the beaver; 5. the whalebone

Smile. The next one in two
weeks may be tougher.
