Its this imhas- try. the use ol od whkb has lieen sprayed on the material in sen cases in the past, to improve its handling in the machinery and processes., offers a promising solu tion m the dust pmbkm. Oust counts in some plants using the oil show radtar- lions ff 90 per teni or more in millions oi particles per cubic fuut. and if further tests corroborate these rawiis it offers a simple and comparatively inexpensive mvtuui ol correcting the dust Juan! in one industry. * In other operations, such a* the shaking out ol foundry castings, it may be possible to do this node at night, by mm who are protected by respirators, and thus eliminate a crnnmun exposure to employee* engagwi in other <gvrations in the same ronm. The ttsr <ff ro* clrowd mechaniral conveyors and mala rial handling <y*temn. property exhaust ed. instead oi the oh! individual hand methods where the workers were brought into close contact with dusty substances, offers a solution in other cases. The trnsurcr of one concern with whom l recently discussed the named of his foundry said, "Maybe we have thr answer right here,'* ami he wrought out the design of a machine which was fab ricated entirely from sheets.- plates, weirs and other structural shapes. - riveted and welded together, which nnuld entirely eliminate the castings ol hich it was largely composed in the past.

Tor c;iv- of temporary dust exposure, as far sweeping and cleaning up dust, the improved types of idler re.-piraturs muy be adequate. In some cases substitutes may be found fur ihe substance causing the trouble. This has already been done in some processes where bento! was formerly used, and efforts are being made to extend the use of this principle. The use oi water to overcome dust hatards is one oi the first suggestions that is usually made. 1 recently tried to explain this problem to aa industrial manager and alter idling him that the dust which causes the trouble is less than 10'mkroas in siae. a micron being about 1^2f^XXhh of an inch, and being rnruur.igvd by his nods which seemed to indirale that he was fallowing my exIdunam* perfectly, f was a little diovunirrtn! at the end to have him say. "Why can't you grt rid of dune micron* ly ua.ffiing the air.1" .\|iparcntly after all niv Hiorta hr Mill ihuught a micnm wa* w*iwilling like a miembe! Water ha* been louad rather effective fiw laying tht dust in some openthme such a* mining, sweeping up dusty flnnes. etc In miter cases, it has been a dtsappniatmnn as. for example. on rinding whee's. where a dry mhauei system has proved to he more satisfac tory than wet grinding.* Dti':ne the conference in South Africa in I*- Tone of the tpeahen pointed out the iutility of trying in completely re- nrnv hnt clouds by water sprays or at*miring. adding the further comment that a tiny droplet of water may collect ns many as 100 dust partidm and then being inhaled is like Immhardiag thr lungs with shrapnel instead of single ride tire. riiwarranlrol Confidence WVro exhaust equipment is installed, prow maintenance of these system* hereby their value is reduced or entire ly vitiated is altogether too common. Aa inquiry in a plant recently as to how the dust (Uterine apparatus was working brought tht reply, "Fine: we haven't had to eves !cok u it fa? .-is ,!" When we climbed a ladder in the nml to .we this miraculous equipment, a touch on the screens dtook a pail-lull of dust from the "dean'* side of the separator.

In five such systems where dust counts have been made dur ing the past lew months there was only one where there was even a question as to whether ur not the air was fit to be returned, in one csss over forty-seven million dust particles per cubic foot were found in the air that was being re-circtw Isted, oe many times what we would con sider a sale limit! Ineffective Installation* The saltamit who had put m the equipment had persuaded them that the filtered air was so much purer than Cod's product as represented by the out. side atmosphere that he had even pipedit into the office. si the manager wa* breathing the that as well as the factory employee*. (Perhaps that might Incalled cooperation:) While it may be promt t<* far to say that no tillering equipment can makr dusty air suitable lor re-lweathing, tin constant chance of the system getting out of order makes it almost as question able a practice as an attempt to recover drinking water from a sewage system. Installations that are dogged, leaking urn! otherwise ineffective are common. One of one atginecw found that the belt connecting the exhaust fan to the motor in an overhead installation had been off for an indefinite period. The motor switch had been thrown regularly but no one noticed that there was no exhaust at the grinding wheels it serviced.
