He was against feudalism. but a moderate who found himself in nm‘lOSitiOll t0 Robespierre at a time when such opposition was generally fatal. Pierre avoided the 10gical ending by fleeing to the United States. where he established the powder industry. Invents Smokeless Powder The original du Ponts got. their: knowledge of science and chemis- try which they applied to the makâ€" ing of gunpowder from Lavoisier. called the "Father of Chemistry,” and since 1803 it may be said that all wars in which the United States has been engaged have been fought with du Pont powder. There has always been a great deal of inter- marrying among the an Ponts, and there has always been a swarm of cousins connected with the business. some are fabulously weathly. Others just moderately 011‘. The present leader of the house was not one of the very rich ones to begin with. His father Lamniot, a powder, rather than a financial expert, was killed in an explosion in 1882. He left $.50,- ooo to his son. In addition Pierre was bequeathed the problem of making powder whicn would not. burst guns. He experimented for years, and eventually he and his cousin Francis, were granted the patent for du Pont smokeless pow- der, and their fortunes were thereby made. For nine years he remained in the powder business. and then went. into the steel and real estate business. by the purchase of the Johnson Company, of Johnstown, Pa. Family Rows ln thiS company he. came across John .I. Raskob. who became his stenographer. and is credited with being the leading financial genius behind all the big du Pont opera- tions since then. In I 2 there oc- curred the great du Pont reorganiz- ation which brought about the cele- brated family row. In was propos- ed to sell the powder business. Some of the cousins opposed this. and Pierre. Coleman and Alfred joined Another milestone in the rapid march of the du Pont family of Delaware to the goal, which will see it the richest and most influen- tial group in the Untied States, was passed the other day, when it be- came known that the du Pont inter- ests had bought 114,000 shares of Lmted States .Steel. Undoubtedly other members of the family, as private individuals, bought largely and it may turn out that the group will become the dominating influ- ence in Steel as it has become in General Motors. The du Ponts be- gan as powder makers and carry on that profitable industry as their main occupation. But. they have branched out to become powers in the. medical world and the over- lords of scores of companies not remotely connected with gunpowd- er. it was hecatue of these outside interests that. they were forced or inSpired to. get control of General Motors. They were already large stockholders in 1920. when General Motors stOck was sinking and it be- came public property that the con- cern was torn with dissensions. It. seemed that W. (1., Durant was the only man who could hold together the warring factions which repre- sented many different companies with conflicting interests. st Control General Motors '5' " The du Ponts were not only large shareholders, but they were selling vast quantities of their products to the company. Their own property was «lei‘iendent to a great extent Upon the prosperity of General Mo- tors. So the du Ponts took over the Durant interests and Mr. Dur- ant got out. Pierre du Pont becomâ€" ing president. The success that General Motors has since enjoyed may give a‘t‘air idea of Pierre du Pont‘s abilities. The purchase ‘of the I'nited States Steel stock is an indication that he has still wider ambitions. and that he is now in such a position that only a collapse of the l’nited States would cause a du Pont collapse. That is, providing the Federal Trade Commission con- cludes that his ambitions do not conflict with certain laws of the I'nited States. The du Ponts come of a French family, and the first one who attracted any attention was THE NEW NO KNOCK IHPBRIAL OIL CO.

Alfred was \ ice-president in charge of op- erations xx hen his name got into the newspapers in an unpleasant way. He went to South Dakota and divorced his wife. Shortly after- xx ards his cousin, Alicia, the wife of George .A. Madox, who had been .Alfred s secretary also got a di\ orce, and presently Alfred and Alicia were married. Now the marriage of cousins was a frequent practice in the du Pont family, but divorces were something else again, and a terrific row broke out, with-actions for slander rampant. Alfred nearly got an act through the Delaware legislature which changed the name of his son by his first wife from Alfred Victor du Pont to Dorsey Casanove du Pont. But the other du Ponts summoned their political henchmen and stepped the embitterâ€" ed .Alfred who did not want. his son to hear his name. A House Divided THE DURHAM CHRONICLE The wife of "the great botanist beamed ‘at him across the supper- table. . “But these,” she exclaimed, “point- ing to the dish of mushrooms that had been set before her, “are not, all for me, Ethelbert, are they?” “Yes, Bertha,” he replied, smiling. “I gathered them for YOU With my own hands.” She beamed upon him gratefully. What a dear. unselfish husband he was! In a few minutes she had eaten them all. At breakfast the next morning he greeted her anxiously. “Sleep all right?" he inquired.. “Splendidly,” she answered. “Not sick at allâ€"no pains?” be pressed. ' “Why. of course not, Ethelbert,” she responded. ‘5' “Hurrah, then!” he «exclaimed. “I have discovered another species of mushrvmm that isn’t poisonous.“ “Yes. sir. I know a man who took the cork out of the bottle of this stuff with his teeth and had a mus- tache the next day.” Human . nature is queer.

As she was stepping from the carriage this gallant gentleman threw down his cloak for Wueen to step upon, saying, “It’s raft-her wet, Your Majes- ty,’ whereupon the Queen answered, ‘Dieu et mon Droit,’ which means in English ‘My God, you’re right.” A PERSONAL QUESTION ~Are you reading your own or a borrowed paper?
