BrMAMITE-andtheMjTerror I was just sitting down with the paper aftgr tea last night when young Oswald left off pulling the cat's tail and said) "Dad! Why can't they use dynamite in guns?" "Be quiet, boy. Can't you see I’m busy? Look up 'Dynamite* in the dictionary." The Holy Terror fetched the Webster's, dropped it on the cat, and—-breathing heavily—hunted out the word. (That gave me five minutes in which to think the thing out) "DYNAMITE—a detonating explosive—/' he read out. "dust as if a fellow didn’t know that! I cleared my throat and looked wise. "Dynamite is never used in guns because it is a detonating explosive. Smokeless powder, which is non-detonating doesn't spend all its force in one terrific crash against the shell, but drives it ten miles further.. It's the same prin* ciple which .makes me use 'Big Tree’ for the car. Some motor spirits are like dynamite, they detonate, hit the piston with one mighty swipe, cause 'knocking/ and shorten the life of the car. ‘Big Tree' thrusts the piston throughout the entire stroke. .It doesn't detonate ; it delivers more power." "Oh I" said the Holy Terror and resumed operations on the cat's tail, 114 m SIC TREEMOTOR SPIRIT A. S. PATERSON & CO., Sole Importers, N.Z. Insurance Buildings, Devon St., New Plymouth. ’Phone 903.
