extracted text (Extract Text): DEADLIER than any other explo-
sive yet invented by man—that is
the claim of Lester P. Barlow,
Stamford, Conn., for his new ex-
plosive combining liquid oxygen
and a secret type of wood carbon.
In recent demonstrations, it was
shown that the explosive could
not be set off by either flames or
violent impact. When detonated
electrically, however, an eight-
ounce charge hurled a forty-foot
telephone pole into the air and
shattered it to bits.
