Explosion of Chemicals An explosion took place in the chemical room at the high school in Greenville Monday morning and Gordon Rettinger and Galliver, the tecaher, both received severe cuts -in their arms and hands. The accident took place when they were making nitrogen gas. Gordon Rettinger was holding a large glass bottle and Galliver was pouring the chemical into the bottle. Just what caused the explosion is not known but it is believed that the bottle had not been thoroughly cleaned, and when the two gases were mixed it caused an explosion. Gordon's arm wasvbadly cut and J)e was taken to the hospital where several stitches had to be taken in his arm. Galliver also sustained severe cuts. Lack of appreciation has robbed many a man of further favors. Mrs. .Ada L. Harrington Voice and Piano Deep Breathing Voice Building Conservatory with ' Mrs. E. E.
