The great structure was a-tremble from the assault, its footpaths and its roadway overrun with workers, dodging between trolleys and trucks, some darting nimbly, dinner pails in hand, along the steel girders.
When she reached the factory, instead of following her companions to where the trucks stood, she made her way to the general offices, wondering what she should do go in, or wait outside. She decided to do the latter. If they saw her standing outside the doors, someone would see her and call her in. She waited there for almost an hour.
All day long delivery trucks piled high with bundles of the papers distributed them to newsboys in the downtown district and throughout the city. Never in the history of Los Angeles had there ever been such a tremendous single-day issue of a newspaper.
He reflected that he was on his way to search for a girl he barely knew, and whom he couldn't be sure needed his help anyway. Outside in the world, there were places where things were not so tranquil. By this time there were already troops in motion in long trains of personnel-carrying trucks.
When I emerged, a moment later, it was to find the narrow passage obstructed by one of the big soiled-linen trucks, over which "J. P." bent industriously, as if he hadn't another thought in the world beyond the sorting of table-cloths and napkins.

There was a line of whitewash near the top of the coaly wall.
They're flying for France and for England and for Canada; they're fighting under every flag on the right side of the Western Front; and they're driving ambulances at Verdun and ammunition trucks at the Somme. Well, there's going to be a lot more American boys on all these jobs mighty soon, on account of what those men did in Congress to-day.
It prompted the matron to say that she would walk a little way as far as to the point where the acclivity from the valley began its first steep ascent to the outer world. At the top Tess was going to be met with the spring-cart sent by the Stoke-d'Urbervilles, and her box had already been wheeled ahead towards this summit by a lad with trucks, to be in readiness.
The waggon building department of Camden is worth visiting, especially by railway shareholders. Every one is interested in railways being worked economically, for economy gives low rates and increased profits, which both increase trade and multiply railways. Hitherto the details of carrying, especially as to the construction of waggons and trucks, have been much neglected.
