 TRUCK BULLETIN
Says Gasoline Is Greater Than Gunpowder-AutO Trucks Part in the
 European War

"Brobdingnagians of Battle and of Busi. ness is the title of a live wire bulletin now being issued by the Packard Motor Car company. It contains a thought for American business men.
 Mars is motorized.
 Gasoline is greater than gunpowder. Twentieth century war demands the pow CT of high explosive put into harness.
 Never was an engine of war subjected to such tests as the motor truck in Flu rope. That the engine in this case was taken from the hundrum commercial field intensifies the triumph. Truly, the great war will go down as the automobile Armageddon.
 Trains of motor trucks are the chief means of transport. They carry food for men and food for the cannon. They carry also the cannon.
 By their faith in the motor truck the captains of war have shamed the lesser faith of many captains of industry.
 When the Germans poured across Bel gium, one saw storehouse. bake shop, forge and cobbler shop setting a pace which would have ditched Sherman's At
 
 holder, as war special.
 Compared to these massive steel car riers, Hannibars elephantine transports were puny things. They were good in their day but a bigger day has dawned. On the present crazy-quilt contour of cramped old Europe, where today trench is traded tomorrow. railroads do not stay put. What you don't tear up in your re- treat, the enemy destroys. Bridges and tunnels are dynamited, entertainments ef- faced, rails warped and terminals razed. War was the opportunity of American motor trucks How did they respond? The department of commerce shows that truck shipments have averaged in value from two and one-half to three and one half millions of dollars per month since last fall. More trucks have been shipped in 90 days than were shipped during the whole of 1913.

1900 MEN IDLE WHEN
DU POINTS CLOSE PLANTS
Work at Carney's Point Held Up by
Lack of Guncotton

Twelve hundred men employed in
plants No. 2 and No. of the du Pont de
Nemours Powder Company at Carney's
Point, near Pennsgrove, were temporarily
thrown out OF work today by the clos
ing of the two sections of the gigantic
munition centre opposite Wilmington.
The shutdown is caused by a lack of
guncotton, on which large part of the
work depends. No 1 plant at Carney's
Point, black powder mandatory, will
continue to operate. According to en-
ployes who came to this city to visit their
families during their enforced vacation,
guncotton for most of the du Pont plants
Is made at a large mill in Hopewell Va.
What caused the scarcity of guncotton
was not announced, but IL was said to-
day at Carney's Point that the supply
was so low It would be necessary to
close down all the plants using it until
a new store could be assembled.
Employees who left Pennsgrove today
expected to be idle until Monday. This
throws out of work three shifts of men
who are employed throughout the entire
"a hours.

An things considered, and judging from

thusiasm. such as is only exhibited at the
beginning Of a college term.
