1t seems that some people are never
satisfied. 1t WAS principally the testi
mony of Mr.. Waddell which led to a suit
against the dupont Powder Co. Now
that the Trust has been dissolved and
different companies formed Mr.. Waddell
still talks about a powder trust. He
should remember the words of Mark
Hanna ten years ago. There are no
trusts" How can there he after the
court has dissolved it?
He says Mr.. Buckner devotes all his
time to the business in Washington.
That is what Mr.. Buckner is employed to
10. The duPonts do not propose to let
Mr.. Waddell devote all his time to MAX
ing and selling powder in Washington
without competition.
While the government is learning to
make powder at less cost, so are the
duPonts OF Carneys Point. The ex-
perimental stage OF making smokeless
powder is nearly passed. Much that
formerly vent to waste is now being
used. The waste hulls from the cotton
seed mills are now used for a basis instead
OF the more expensive waste from the
cotton weaving mills. Alcohol, sulphuric
and nitric acids which formerly went to
WdSI6 is hOW fculSbilleu dnu uSou again
and again. Instead of many buildings
and much labor to distribute the cotton
into different drying houses scattered
over many acres, the treated cotton is
now put into the top of a large building
and taken out at the bottom dry alter be-
ing treated with dry heat like to a grain
dryer.
The buildings on Carney's Point are
nov built more substantial and closer,
thus saving much labor in the transit of
the product from one state of manufact-
ure to another. A bail of cotton fiber
hulls now goes into one end of the plant
and comes out powder at the other end.
Instead of a workman filling in time
and drawing pay, he not only has a time
card, but a card to show What he receives
and what his labor has produced each
day. The ma who produces most is pro-
NOTED or receives increasd bonus, and
those who produce least are dropped
when work is slack.
With the purchasers of products de-
handing more for their money the mail
ufacturer must have more produced by
labor and less waste made.
While the suit cost the dupont Com
pany largely, the decreased cost of pro-
duction allowed greater d vidends last
year than ever before.

PRICE OF POWDER REDUCED
Some Think The Trust Not Bursted

A drastic provision, aimed at the pow
der trust, following testimony alleging
that the du Pont Powder Company main
tains a lobby in Washington spends
thousands of thousands of dollars in
Washington, features the fortification ap-
preparation bill reported to the House of
Representatives Thursday OF last week.
The bill which carries an aggregate of
$5,2 250, a big cut from the army's esti-
mates, directs that no part OF the appro-
priation shall be expended ''for powder
other than small-arms powder, at a price
III excess OF 90 cents a pound"
Both the army and navy powder plants,
at Picatinny Arsenal and Indian Head,
respectively are making powder at much
less than the 90 cents, which the govern
ment now pays per pound to the du Pont
Powder Company, OF Wilmington, Del.
Contending that Hobbies in Washington
were ian offense rather than a benefit"
to the government, Robert s. Waddell,
of Il Cleveland powder company, told the
committee that the DUPONT company
maintained in Washington Colonel Ed
mund Il. Buckner, vice president of the
company and the president OF the Inter-
nation al Smokeless Powder Company,
who "devotes lis entire time and atten-
ton to Washington business"
Saying he did not believe there had
ever been any attempt at undue in influence
OH the army aud navy officers, Mr.. Wad-
deli said the du Pont company maintains
a publicity bureau ''to influence not only
the purchasers OF powder aud the people
who place their orders, but even the de-
partment of justice and the courts by
statements OF this kiuQ-tlat during the
Spanish war, because OF the wonderful
patriotism of the dupont trust, they made
a rebate on the brown prismatic powder
to the army and navy. THAT is not
true"
"We recently" said Mr.. Waddel,
"have had a judicial monopoly created
out OF the DUPONT trust, through the
courtesy OF Attorney General Wicker
sham, which ~ratifies the world agree
ment and gives the exclusive sale OF all
foreign smokeless powder in the United
States in the hands OF the du Pont Com
pany."

known. They do not hire halls and
engage speakers to declare for them
that love is the aim, the beginning,
the end, the sole existence of wom-
an, and that they want it.
They keep this little longing hidden
deep in their hearts. Some, frankly
honest, admit it. Others, to conceal
their sorrow that love has never
come, claim they don't want the lit
tie god to visit Them and would
drive him away IL he dared appear.
They deceive the men; they do not
deceive other women; they do not
deceive themselves.
Love sends many ambassadors and
these ambassadors sometimes have
poor credentials. but the woman at
the door of whose heart they appear
open the door and gets down on her
knees. She does not ask to see the
credentials. Wisdom, prudence, eau
ton, interest, all are forgotten
when love appears.
She is no longer a Modern Won
an" She has LOST all reckoning Of
time and is just Woman.

London Punch published the follow

Don't That wise counsel still holds
good"
And here's why one woman thinks
that marriage is a bore. She writes
Marriage a Sacrifice.
1.-THE church says marriage is a
sacrament / say that under present
conditions it is a sacrifice. Woman
is offered as a sacrifice to the state in
marriage in order to bring children
into the world. Statistics prove this,
and show that there are more women
Killed and made invalids for life ey
cry year through marriage than there
were soldiers killed in the Civil War.
There were pensions for the disabled
soldiers, but none for the disabled
mothers.
Il believe that suffrage for women
is one form of remedy for the weari-
ness of matrimony. After that. or
rather with that, will come equality
of opportunity. and equal pay for
equal work. SO that girls viii not lie
forced into marriage because their
pay envelopes won't keep body and
soul together.
Divorce Remedy Economic.
People who marry BECAUSE they
want 70. instead of because they have
to, are seldom bored with each 9th
er. We need some remedy for oil
VOrCe, but il must be an economic
one. Sentiment may be all right in
its place, but along with romance il
exists only in women. What little
sentiment a man has is like the match
with which he lights his pipe, soon
forgotten after it has accomplished
| it's purpose.
Marriage is business with a
