NO WASTE ON BATTLEFIELD IS
 PLAN IN EUROPE
Vast Piles of Broken and Discarded Equipment Re
 claimed By English.

On the British Front. France. April 1.-The question of what becomes of the vast number of broken imple- ments of warfare, and the discarded clothing and shoes that are commonly supposed to strew the ,battlefields where great armies are operating, may be answered so far as the British Elk peditonafy Force is concerned, by a visit to one of the bases of the Brit ish array. All these things, from the big gun which has been shattered by a shell, to the smallest part of Tom my Atkins personal equipment which has been broken or lost, are gathered upS and returned to one of the bases where they are repaired if possible. If they cannot be mended such parts as are intact are used in renewing other. implements or articles of the same kind. and in event that they are hope 1essly broken or torn they are sold as junk.
 A corresp ondent was permitted to visit one of these big repair depots, Departments of every description were busily engaged in the work of restor- ation. In one building was a pile of upwards of half a million pairs Of worn boots-a veritab1e mountain of muddy foot gear. These were being disinfected, cleaned, resoled and rel paired in other ways at the rate of 1000 pairs a week by a large force of experts. As fast as they were fn- ished they were placed in stock ready to go back to the trenches when there should be a call for more boots.
 In other shops parts of broken har- ness from the equipment of the army horses were being repaired, saddles were being made over,s rifles were being made whole, big guns were in the process of renew al, uniforms and equipments were being soverhauled-in fact, every conceivable sort of thing which finds use in the army was be- ing renovated. All unserviceable bits of metal were being stored to sell to foundries and even the tattered pieces of uniforms were being made ready for the call of dealers who buy. cloth of this description for various manufacturing purposes.
 Much of the work in this repair de- pot was being done by French girls although large force of men was re- ql1ired for the heavy work and such duties as called for skilled labor.
 An officer explained that tsno waste's was the motto under which the British forces were working and de- ,clared that the result was the saving Of vast sums of money for the gov ernmeIlt.

COUNCIL WILL GIVE
STATE BOARDS
REPORT CONSIDERATION

When council meets tonight at
o'clock it is expected that considera-
tion will be given to the report of the
state board of health received yester-
day by Mayor Robertson, in which is
strongly recommended" the installa-
tion of treatment beds in connection
with the Imhoff tanks of the new
sewerage system, for the purpose of
purifying the effiuent of the tanks.
The inspection of the sewerage sys-
tenn by George w. Simons Jr., chief
of the bureau of engineering of the
state health board, was begun on Au-
gust z, some weeks after Bryan & Co.,
the contractors, had completed their
work, and the system had been ac-
cepted by the city. Nothing was said
in council about a board of health in
spection of the system at the time of
it's acceptance by council. The reason
for an inspection of the system after
its acceptance by council, instead of
previous to it's acceptance, will prob
ably be explained at tonight's meet
ing. The sewerage system for the
city was decided on after the sewer
wells in use had been condemned and
outlawed, and it was with a view to
meeting the health laws of the state
that the present system with it's I'M
hoff tanks was adopted.

NONSTOP MAXWELL
ON IMPORTANT TOUR
Famous Car is Now on the Journey to
Help the National Defense
Movement

The nonstop Maxwell, the car that
holds the worlds record of 22,O22
miles continuous travel without stop
of the motor is engaged in mission
of national Importance and the trip
will carry it from Tia Juana, Mexico,
to Vancouver, Canada, and return.
1t is great loop trip that is being
made by the nonstop champion. The
route as at present outlined will carry
the party up the California and Ore
gon coasts as far as possible tSward
the northern boundary of the Bnited
States; the return itinerary Is thru
the interiors of Washington, Oregon
and California to the starting point at
the southern international line.
The highway between Mexico and
Canada generally followed by motor
lists is inland for almost the entire dis
tance. The coast road porth has been
neglected, mainly because the popula-
tion is so scattered that it has been
impossible to WELD sufficient influence
for boulevard system that would
make all-year-round travel feasible.
The necessity for defending this
coast road has been pointed out in
Vulnerable times by military experts
and one of the first important items in
making our west coast safe against
foreign invasion is to place the roads
in such condition that troops and
heavy armament could be moved ex-
peditiously in motor trucks and auto
mobiles.
Every detail of the topography is
being carefully noted by the Maxwell
party. The road is being logged and
at the conclusion of the expedition,
report viii be submitted to the fed
eral authorities and to the officials Of
the states through which the tour ex-
tends.
The nonstop Maxwell is carrying
as passengers Wilbur Hall and Albert
Gill Waddell, widely known as maga-
zine writer's, and Jack Griffin, touring
expert.
Along the coast towns, the nonstop
Maxwell is attracting great attention.
The service-scarred veteran had ira
veled more than $4,000 miles before
starting on its latest tour, and the
original covers on its motor and trans
mission are yet to be removed for an
overhauling of any sort of the inter-
ior workings

JOY JUICE SHIPPED IN
COFFINS FROM JACKSONVILLE

Atlanta, Sept. 5.-They've got up a
new scheme in Jacksonville, accord
ing to reliable information secured in
Atlanta, for shipping liquor into the
state of Georgia.
Instead of sending individual ship
ments in separate packages, such as
a quart or two quarts, they lump a
bunch of shipments into one shipment,
and pack them all in a box resembling
the box in which corpse and coffin are
shipped by express.
One of these boxes will hold from
twenty to fifty shipments of two
quarts each and the method of pack
ing and handling possesses marked
advantages over the separate shipment
plan.

ated that Mr.. Poe could not be iden-
titled and this caused delay in pay
