ARIvQf lvULE BEAT TRUCK AT PULLING. Twenty horse power does not mean twenty-mule
power. This was demonstrated at the Presidio this month when the San Francisco
agents for a well known truck experimented in a rehearsal for an Armistice day
atunt. The plan was to show that the truck could out pull twenty mules.
A truck, a sturdy man-sized truck, ms loaded to the guards with pig iron and
twenty mules attached to the reer. "§iddap", said e first class private if the
Quartermaster Corns. The mules turned around and grinned. "That ain’t mo way
to talk to mules",said a corporal of the ^orps, "you got to put a little brimstone
into your language". In the meantime the chauffeur of the truck had started and
ms proving the contention of the agents that a truck can out pull twenty mules.
A burst of lurid orofanity from the corporal and the truck came to a halt its
wheels churning, but it ms only a tie between the mules and the steel o^ an
engine."Let me show you something about mules", yelled a Quartermaster sergeant.
"Your language is too _ mild". The sergeant u:il inhered his vocabulary. It has
long been disputed which ms the more florid language, a chief '-'catswan’ s mate,
U.3.N., or a Quarternrster sergeant . If there had been a C.b.I«. present yesterday
he would have fainted from envy. The sergeant seared those mules v-'ith the lignt
ning of hi3 profane wrath. A shiver ran down the line of .cutas and they leaned
foifward their breast bones touching the ground . The first four broke their chaii 3
but the remaining sixteen dragged the doughtily resisting truck at will over the
* parade ground* - (Contributed by Sergeant Gibson, Q-M.C.)
The te3t was stricken from the Armistic.e. Day program upon the request
of the truck officials.
