Edgar Lochr and Carlton Brown, high. school students, are two badly frightened young chemists today. : In addition to having their nerves shaken, Koehr is slightly singed about the hair and eyebrows. Brown is uninjured, but is richer in experience. The boys were making gunpowder ;

The roar which : followed startled even the hardened i pupils in other parts of the room; who ; are used to eueh trivialties as explo-!

cording to the instructor, he narrowly j missed serious injury to his eyes. i
I After the explosion both the boys j continued in their experimental work j on a less extensive basis.
