YOUNG COLONEL IN DuaMMA
Ways Of War Were a New Thing to
His understanding.

At the Army and Navy club Ia
Washington a number of veteran on.
GERS were telling stories, when Gen.
Chaffee told this anecdote OF Gen.
Carr, who died in New York some
years ago;
1t appears that Gen Carr, at the
outbreak Of the civil war, had left
Troy to take command of a regiment
The engagement in which, as colonel
he first figured was at Big Bethel. His
regiment had been halted for rest
and refreshment in a pleasant place
and had not yet experienced the ex-
element of skirmish 1t happened
however, that confederates were in
ambush in the immediate neighbor.

they opened fire on the northerners.
Carr, so the story runs, instantly put
spurs to his horse and dashed up to
a group of officers. Excitement ald
bewilderment were apparent upon his
young face as he approached the
party.

ment!" he shouted My God! Now

ERRORS ABOUT THE WHITE
HOUSE.

To the Editor:
/ noticed somewhere recently
would not say positively that 1t was In
your eolumns-an article on the White
House which contained several mis-
statements.
In the first place II was stated the
White House was first occupied in
1909 and that its first occupant was
President Madison. The fact is, its
FIRST occupant was President Adams,
who took up his residence there in
1900.
The original mansion was begun in
1892. In 1914 it was burned by the
British and rebuilt in 1918.
Another of the errors in the article
referred to was the statement that
ready-prepared paint is used on the
White House to make it beautifully
white.
l noticed this especially because /
have used considerable paint myself
and wondered that canned" paint
should be used on such an important
building when all painters know that
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint
II so happened also that | knew
white lead and linseed oil-not ready
mixed paint-were used on the White
House, because l had just read a book
let published by firm of ready mixed
paint manufacturers who also manu-,
facture pure white lead In that book
the manufacturers admitted that for
the White House nothing but "the
best and purest of paint could be
used" and said that their pure white
lead had been selected.
Above all people. those who attemp
to write on historical subjects should
give us facts, even If it is only dat
or a statement about wood, or brick
or paint. or other building material.

DIAMONDS IN UNITED STATES
Stones to the Value of $500 Found in
Single Year.

Never in the history of the United
States has there been such demand
for diamonds as there was in 1905.
Large quantities wore imported, but
the country produced none.
In 1903 it produced diamonds to the
value of $50, in 1901 it had an output
worth $780, in 1900 its production was
valued at $3.50, and in 1899 the coun-
try boosted native diamonds to the
value of $500.
Diamonds have been discovered In
the United States in four different re-
gions, but their actual place of orr
gin is unknown All have been found
in loose and superficial deposits, and
all accidentally.
1t is not at all improbable, how
ever, that some day the original
sources of this queen of gems may be
discovered. The high price of dia-
monds has made the recent search for
these precious stones in the United
States and Canada Reener than ever
