cess of the voyage of the Oscar II.
From the Philadelphia Ledger. -
Americas largest bank sends forth an
other warning to beware of cham
payne prosperity. 1t characterizes the
existing industrial boom as largely fic-
titious and temporary and therefore
dangerous. "a spendthrift is not en-
joying real prosperity while he Is dis
sipating his inheritance" But the
thing of widest reach is the fact that
war is checking to fearful degree the
onward progress of the worlds busi-
ness There is no question that 1t is
checking it and that five years hence
the worlds wealth will be far less than
it would have been had this senseless
orgy of blood never happened. A
somewhat similar longer signal has
been hoisted by Chairman Gary of
United States Steel. He lays heavy
stress upon the necessity for this coun-
try of making the most careful prep
aration to meet the unprecedented
conditions which will come with the
end of the war.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer. -
On May the crime of the Lusitania

VISITING THE WAR BRIDES
The House of Du Pont
BY Frederic ]. Haskin

investment in few months. In ad-
ditton to this, the company has grant
ed increases in pay that average
about 20 per cent. all along the line.
One effect of the war on Wilmington
is a very noticeable increase in the
number of automobiles in the streets.
Many who have always walked be-
fore will now ride for the rest of their
lives.
The making OF powder is fraught
with unavoidable hazards and, des-
pite all safeguards. these are neces-
sarily multiplied with the volume of
the business. But the families of
men killed in explosions do not suffer.
They are cared for by the company out
of special fund set aside for that
purpose.
In these ways the company has fos-
tered loyalty ever since its founding
over a hundred years ago. Employees
of Du Pont are apt to stick. Descend
ants of the laborers in that first little
mill on the Brandywine, that made
powder for the war in 1912, are on
the pay rolls of the company to-day.
This loyalty was never more need
ed than now. The company has sec
rets to guard that are not its own. 1t
has organized an efficient police and
detective force directed by men who
have been police executives in New
York, Philadelphia and Washington.
There are detectives on every floor of
the Du Pont building. You no sooner
, step out of the elevator than you are
asked for a full account of your bust
| ness. You must establish your right
to be there beyond a doubt, or you
do not stay.
The origin of a Du Pont. employe is
more important than that of Rich
mond society belle. When he appli es
| for work, he is presented with a
printed slip containing questions as
to who and what his parents and
grandparents were Certain nationali-
| ties and many individuals are eXclu d.
| ed.
The suspected presence of spies and
the somewhat obvious presence of
cranks make these precautions neces-
sary. Not long ago, high officials of the
company received threatening letters
These missives assured the executives
that the Du Pont building would be
blown up on a certain day. In view
of the success with which a bomb out
rage was recently perpetrated in
Washington, some qualms were felt
| in Wilmington. On the appointed
day there was an explosion in the Du
Pont building, followed by a sudden
display of official dignity dissolving
into startled agility. The panic pre-
vailed until the janitor succeeded in
explaining that a bursting boiler, and
not a bomb, had made the noise.

WHO WILL RUN IT?
CFrom the Engineering Magazine.

The recommendation of the Naval
Consulting Board that physical labora-
tory be established on tide water for
the conduct of experiments by the Gov
ernment. seems to have been misunder
stood. 1t is not true that it is proposed
that such laboratory should be under
the direction of the civilian board. On
the contrary 1t is to be controlled and
directed by the United states naval Of
fcers, 1t is not true that the civilian
board, or any other board of inventors, is
expected to go within the walls of this
experimental station and invent or pro-
duce devices for the use of the navy.
The proposition is that this shall be
great physi, al workshop for the pur-
pose of trying out and developing in
Yentions which heTe been submitted
from all sources to the United States
Government. When such inventions are
submitted ana are first passed upon by
the regular naval engineers 1t is pro-
posed to submit them, or some of them,
to the civilian consulting board for ad-
vice and information, and when such
advice is received by the naval engi-
neers, and they elect to go further into
the suggestions made. then the physi-
cal laboratory will be a means by
which il may be determined whether or
not an invention is practical one.

TNHIS is the home of the liveliest
of all the war brides" and the
visitor does not have to wan
der far to find evidence of the fact.
The great Du Pont structure at Tenth
and Market streets, a combined office
building. hotel and theater oVertop-
ping everything else in town. is the
center of Wilmingtons industrial life.
1t shelters a business that has brought
millions in foreign orders to the
united States, made numerous for
tunes great and small, and employed
tens of thousands of men and wo-
men.
The figures tell the story. When the
war broke out Du Pont powder stock
was selling for about 80. Within a
few months it jumped to eight hun
dred. The three companies that are
controlled by the Du Pont interests al
ready owned nearly two score fac
tories in various parts of the United
States. The capacity of these was
multiplied in month, and whole new
towns of portable houses constructed
to shelter the workers. 1t must be
conceded that the rapidity and sue
cess with which Du Pont powder rose
to its opportunity is one of the most
capable feats of industrial general
In August last, the increased bust
ness of the Du Pont company neces-
STATED a reorganization. 1t was in
corporated in the State OF Delaware
for S240,00O,000. A feature of the
reorganization was the declaration of
a 200 per cent. stock dividend.
The rise of Du Pont contributed
nothing to the war bride" furry on
the New York stock exchange. It's
stock is not even listed there. Had 1t
been, the trading might we'll have
forced it to 1000 and led to seri-
GUS reaction. \ least two-thirds of
all the stock in the Du Pont com
panies is owned by the families of
that name, their friends and employees,
So instead of frenzied trading there
was much quiet satisfaction in Will
mington and it's environs, where many
Du Points own magnificent country
homes. Fortunes were made higher
up, and completeness lower down. Du
Pont is another of the great Amer
lean indstrial concerns that believe in
making the good things go all the way
around.
Faithful workers in comparatively
humble positions in the Du Pont Off
ces were given a share of stock apiece
when the rise was forseen. Employees
of all grades were given the first OPP
portunity to buy. One laborer, for
example, bought two shares of stock
when it was in the neighborhood OF
100, and cleared about $1,400 on his

However, Scranton appears not to
be immune from some of the aff1ic-
tions that businessmen of other COM

of advice, which we quote for the
benefit of Harrisburgers who may be
inclined in the same direction as we'll
as to ease the feelings of some of our
merchants on the ground that misery
loves company:
However much we may view with
favor in individual cases trips to
New York and other cities to secure
what we may be pleased to call
Mental Stimulus" the fact remains
that If we make our trip take on
the shape of a shopping tour, il in
jures local trade exactly to the ex-
tent of the money we spend In that
direction. The hustle, hustle, and
energy display associated with life
in the metropolis may act as
stimulant to those whose efforts
tend to lag. We ought to be SEN
sible enough to make the metro
politan hustle absorbed in New
York trips of real value to Scran-
ton. Bring home all the acquired
energy and new thought and sys-
tenn that you can. but buy all your
goods here so as to aid the Scran-
ton merchant. There is nothing of
real consequence entering into the
needs of our people which cannot
be obtained here. substantially as
cheaply and of the same high grade
quality as elsewhere.

of that time-1S64. In act one we

ing wooed, won and welded by ALE

become the mother Of a new "Ra-

the cruel, land grabbing settlers.

BUILDINGS
It THE FAIR
GR0UNDSF|NE
WOULD eE A CREDIT TO A MUCH
OLDER ORGANIZATION THAN
THE CARTER COUNTY FAIR AS
ISOLATION.

The buildings and Improvements
which have been under way at the
fair grounds for the past two months
are practically completed and if you
don't think they are credit to Ard
more and Carter county, just drive
out to the fair grounds and look them
over. The people Of Ardmore who
have donated so willingly to fund to
erect suitable buildings for the fair
would do well to go and see where
their money is and if it has made
proper showing. You will not be dis
appointed in the least, for Secretary
West of the fair association has put
his best efforts behind the work, and
il is well done. The exhibit hall if
a real nice one and will make good
showing when the exhibits are in
their place. This will be added to
another year as the interest in this
department of the fair grows. The
grandstand is just being completed,
and is something you should see If
you have given of your money to en-
able the fair to erect so nice struc'
ture. If you go out to the grounds.
walk up and look this building over.
You will be pleased. Horse barns for
race and show stock have been erect
ed and already have a racy appear
ance as a number of horses have ar
rived and are at the barns.
Perhaps, too, if you go out to the
fair grounds you will get to see
some of the horses working out.
Horses go on the track daily, and
are worked out in order that they
may be in the proper shape for start
ing in the races during the fair. The
track is in excellent condition since
the recent rains, and will be worked
and kept fast. Two harness races
and a running race will be the pro-
gram each afternoon. In addition, it
