alton fields will be abandoned. Orders
already have gone out for abandon
ment OF twenty of the camps, including
nearly all Of the National Guard train
ing centres set up after the United
States declared war on Germany. Con-
struction work on the camps, according
to War Department figures, represents
cost of approximately $4,000, 600, OF
whlcn S43,0OO,00G was spent on the
1our embarkation cantonments-Mil
New York; Merritt, New Jersey, and
stuart and Hill, Newport News.
Approximately $2S0,OOO,00O has been
spent in construction work on the ff-
teen cantonments to be bought and
largely because of the sum involved
that the department decided to go
anead with the purchase. Most of these
camps now are being used as demobili-
cation centres, but no definite plans
Tor their employment after the war
army is disbar ded have been evolved.
1t was explained the whole problem of
future use of the camps depended upon
the nations military policy, and no
conclusion as to that could be reached
until the peace conference at Paris
mad rendered its decision as to world
disarmament.
Announcement already has been
made that only two flying fields actu-
ally would be used in training army
aylators in peace time and others pur-
chased or now owned would become
storage plants for material on hand or
under contract. Location of the flying
centres to be retained shows a plan to
have three general training centres.
one in the Far West, one in the South
west and one in the Southeast, with
the different fields in each section
close enough together so elementary
and advanced training will be provided
within reasonable area. Total ex-
pendltures on the nineteen flying and
balloon fields to be retained represent
about $30OOO,OOO.

Hazelhurst Field Also To
Be Purchased if the Price
Is Not Too High; Plans
Announced by Crowell
Funds Already Available
Two New York Camps Are
To Be Devoted to Pur-
poses of Demobilization
Ne1O York Tribune
Wushin0tcn Bureau

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Camps
Upton and Dix are to be permanently
retained by the army, and Hazelhurst
Field, the Mineola aviation reserva-
tion, will be purchased by the govern
ment if satisfactory price can be
agreed upon, acting Secretary of War
Crowell ..nnounced to-day in detailing
the army camps and aviation centres to
be purchased. The other army camps
in the New York district will be re-
tanned until rehabilitation is complete,
perhaps for period of two more years,
but eventually they will be returned to
their owners.
Camps Upton and Dix were the first
of the national army cantonments men
toned by Secretary Crowell as included
IN the War Departments plans for out
right purchase. These two military
reservations are considered in army
circles as the highest type of camps,
and their ultimate purchase by the
army has been recommended by several
boards which have inspected the facili-
tie. there with view to permanent
control
Hazelhurst Land Costly
Hazelhurst field, Secretary Crowell
said, was formerly market gardening
land and its present owners may place
figure too high for the department to
reach. Secretary Crowell suggested
that condemnation proceedings could
be instituted, but intimated that other
property in the New York section could
be obtained at more reasonable figure.
Secretary Crowell said the purchase
of Upton, Dix and other cantonments
would save the government huge sums
of money, considering that the total
outlay would not aggregate more than
$4,000, 900, whereas if the government
was required to return the property in
ITS original condition something more
than $5,250,000 must be paid in dam
ages. He said the total property could
be sold for $6,000,O00 as farm land, and
the War Department decided to dispose
of the cantonment property in town
lots or suburban properties
Upton and Dix Efficient
Camps Upton and Dix will be utilized
exclusively for rehabilitation until the
American Expeditionary Force is re-
turned to this country, according to
plans of the operations division of the
General Staff. These two camps rank
first in speed in mastering out SOL
diers, with an average of $4,000 and
10000 men a month each.
Upton is used exclusively for New
York troops, there being approximately
283 900 men in the service from the
Empire State. Rhode Island and Con-
necticut men also are sent to Upton
for discharge. Camp Dix is used for
the muster out of New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and Delaware soldiers.

DEAR FOLKS:

the oftenest at the
Wilson & Co. plant.
Chicago, was the day
watchman. He is the Sen
tinel on Guard-and he is
an active, intelligent, happy
and proud Sentinel. Do
you know why? I'll tell
you.
Up to three years ago, this
watchrnan looked upon
himself as a mere machine.
He felt that he occupied a
menial position because he
was treated as a menial.
Nobody apparently thought
him worth while. Every
day was the same to him.
Nothing happened between
sunrise and sunset to re-
lieve the monotony of his
life. He was discouraged,
as most workers are who do
not get kind words or at
tention.
But a new hold on life came to
him three years ago this month,
and it was all brought about
through little act of kindness.
My, how small courtesy
changes things for all of US! 1t
dispels clouds and floods our
pathway with sunlight. Let me
tell you what the watchman
told me.
THE day that Mr.. Wilson came
here to take charge of the busi-
ness which had been given his
name, what do you suppose was
the first thing he did? Why, he
came to my shanty, shook hands
with me and said, John, l want
you to know that 1 think you
are holding a very important
position. l look to you to watch
things very carefully. SO much
depends on you. If you will put
your heart in your work and help
me all you can / will be very
grateful. From now on you are
going to be right arm to this
business. | need your help to
make it a success. / hope we
will be good friends. What dc
you say" And, of course, l said,
III help, and / thank you SO
much for thinking that I can help
you. From that time on | have
been very happy. am very proud
OF the position l hold. Mr.. Wilson
always speaks to me and shows
that he likes me. l am just the
average human being, and when
a man respects me and treats me
right, it makes an awful lot of
difference in my viewpoint of
life. l feel that l am now a real
man, doing work that is neces-
sary and helpful"
John and I got along fine to-
gether during my daily visits to
Wilson & Company plant, COW
ering period of five weeks. We
had many chunmy chat. He
introduced me to many of the
workers, all of whom respect
him. He dresses in blue uni
form and stands guard with as
much pride as the Commander
Of a U. S. Warsllip stands on the
bridge of his ship. This is the
sort of spirit that makes busi-
ness prosper.
Another worker - this one a
young woman-told me that the
courtesy shown the watchman
oy Mr.. Wilson was witnessed by
hundreds of workers who were
standing at the windows of the
Dig office building watching for
lis coming. She said: Il can't
describe to you the wave of sat
staction that Immediately struck
is all. Instantly the word went
all through the plant that Mr..
first act was to visit the
vatchman, and the cry went up
n all departments, "A real man
las come to lead us; now we can
'ut heart in our work; now we
Ire sure of appreciation; now we
Know we will get a square deal

LAYING Out Grounds.

When laying out grounds, planting
plans should be made first showing
the location Of every tree and shrub
on the place. Decide whether the
method of planting is to be formal or
natural. In the city or town lots where
space is limited the formal plan Is per-
haps the best, while with the large
suburban homes and country places
there is a splendid opportunity for the
development Of the natural STYLE
Where the area is large it is possible
to have a small body Of water, groves
Of trees, and large groups Of shrubbery'
For small lots, where more care can
be given to the plants, an elaborate
plan may be advisable. In some cases
home makers are able to devote a
great deal Of time to the upkeep OF the
landscape. Some trim their hedges IN
such shapes and fashions that green
statues of all the animals and fowls
Of the barnyard are left posing on the
lawn.
