Life at P~ennsgrove


A Wilmington paper thus describes
the scene at Carney's Point on pay days:
"Pay day scenes at the Carney's Point
plants of the dupont Powder Company
are interesting. At a change of shift
thousands of employees emerge from the
plants, passing through narrow wooden
alleys at the entrances and en- route re-
cording their quitting time IN clocks.
There are IA of these alleys at the main
entrance to Plant 2, and in each 500 men
register. From the alleys the men pro-
coed by the way of the "bull pen" and
the Salem pike to a side gate, 500 yards
distant, where they form a line and are
readmitted to the powder yard six at a
time. Crossing a field they run to the
Pay house, which also contains alleys,
and receive their pay as they pass
through. Again they enter the "bull
pen," which is patrolled by three uni
formed guards armed with rifles, and
nearby are half a dozen guards swing
ing police clubs. On the pike between
Plant 2 and Camp 2 are peddlers, sell
ing mems furnishings, and nearby are
representatives. of the Salvation Army
and the Volunteers of America, asking
money contributions. After receiving
their pay many men go to Camp 2,
where they board, or to the DUPONT
villages, in which they reside. Hun
dreds of jitneys are parked on the pike
near the "bull pen" entrance, and most
of them carry powdermakers to Penns-
Vile or Salem, where the sale of intoxi-
eating liquor is licensed. Trains and
automobiles bring many employees to
Pennsgrove, whence the majority pro-
coed by ferry to Wilmington.
For the curious the trip across the
Della ware River is the most interesting
feature of pay day. It takes 40 min
utes and is enlivened by continuous
vaudeville. One thousand men throng
the ferryboat, filling the cabins and oc-
cupying all the space usually allotted
to vehicles and freight Cigarette
smoke aud the odor from garments
saturated with ether poison the atmos-
phere. In a corner of one cabin there
are three itinerant musicians, a harp
er and two v~iolinists. The crowd likes
instrumental music, aud the '.orcnes-
ira" plays "It Makes No Difference

CRATES and Telephone Wires.

At a recent meeting Of the 1nstitu-
ton of Electrical Engineers in London
W. l.. Preeee told of the damage done
to telephone systems in the tropics by
animals. The CRATES in East Africa,
he said. have not sense enough to duck
their heads when they find a telephone
or telegraph wire across their tracks.
but push on and carry the wires and
sometimes the poles with them. White
ants eat the telegraph poles If these
are Of any wood but teak. He showed
a telephone instrument that had been
used as a hive by bees, which entered
by the slot for the switch hook and
formed inside a comb that was renew
ed as often as it was cleared away by
the engineers. Spiders also destroy the
insulation by spinning over the wires
webs that when saturated by dew re-
duce the insulation resistance to a few
ohms.
