A newly revised code for the prevention of dust explosions in woodworking and wood flour manufacturing plants has been issued by the National Fire Protection Association.

An important change incorporated in the 1962 revision is the deletion of a former requirement that hogs for scrap wood be isolated and provided with explosion venting. The deletion of this requirement is made possible by the fact that no dust explosions have occurred in these hogs.

A Timely Correction

OId Noah W'ebster, in addition to writing the dictionary that bears his name, was in all things a stickler for the correct use of words, and he never failed to call attention to their incorrect use, regardless of conditions or situation. This was well evidenced by the fact that one day his wife came home and found Noah kissine the good-looking parlor maid.

"Why, Noah, I'm surprised!" exclaimed his wife.

o'You are wrong, my dearr" said Noah. "YOU are AMAZED. I am surprised."
