Is brandtsen and the justice de partment had contended that the system violates the Ship ping Act of 1916. ine dual rate system was designed to promote stability in the industry and lessen the threat of rate wars.

Safe Way to Handle Blasting Caps Is To Leave Them Alone The only safe way to handle a blasting cap is "leave it alone," Jackson County Sher iff Howard Gault said today in calling attention to a cam paign being waged by the Na tional Sheriffs' association and the Institute of Makers of Ex plosives. The campaign, which has been carried on for many years, is designed to acquaint children and parents with the dangers of blasting caps in in experienced hands. Sheriff Gault describes the caps as shiny, pencil-shaped tubes made of either copper or aluminum and from Vi to 5 Vi inches long. Two Basic Kinds There are two basic kinds. One is exploded by sparks from a fuse which is inserted in one end of the cap and then lit. The other type is the electric blasting cap. It' has two covered wires coming out of one end and is fired by elec trical current. Scores of boys and girls are injured every year because they find blasting caps and play with them. Some lose fin gers, toes, or hands; others are blinded for life. Some have been killed, he noted. Usually caps the children find have been lost, misplaced or hidden away. Sometimes they are left lying around by thoughtless workmen, and sometimes they are stolen. "Teach your children to know a cap at sight," Sheriff Gault said in discussing the hazards of the tubes. "Tell them of the danger. Insist that they shun caps as they would a rattlesnake. And be sure they know why."
