NO BARGAIN SALES.
BY this method the government
avoids dumping its surplus material
back on the market to injure the in
dustries which tripled and q~uadrupl-
ed their production during the war to
meet the needs of the army.
In cases where 1t is not feasible to
dispose of the material in this way,
the department through its field
clerks scattered over the country, is
selling II at public sale, advertised in
b newspapers. This sort Of sale In
cludes typewriters, desks and Office
supplies which are no longer needed.
But these are not being sacrificed,
either. They are marked at O price
which allows for depreciation. and
sold the anne as any other second
hand furniture.
Many of the armys motor trucks.
OF which at one time the War Depart
ment owned nearly 100, 600, have been
turned over to the Postof1ce Depart
ment, while part of its 10000 motor
cars have been given to the public
health service and other government
departments. Airplanes have been
turned over to the Postofice Depart
ment for s on h air mail routes.

|C-You've an heard reports like
these:
Tho war Departments selling mo-
tor cars 1t doesn't iced for 500
sep4ece"
"You can buy an airplane from the
government for 500 now"
The army Is selling army blankets
for little or nothing"
THEY'RE ALL FALSE.
II Is r that the army has q lot
of war material to sell. but 1t isn't
letting go of 1t at such heavy loss
Nor Is 1t true that thousands of
dollars worth OF ammunition and
high explosives have been destroyed.
The only ammunition the army has
DESTROYED Is captured German shells
which were piled on b deserted bat
tlefelds OF France and blown up.
One modern weapon which has
been destroyed is poison "a Tons of
1t have been dropped into the ocean,
for the War Department believes that
never again will poison gas be used
In warware. The United States, at
least, will not be the first to use it
again.
But nearly everything else owned
by h War Department Is being put
in storage or sold at market prices.
INT Turned to Reclamation Work.
Recently $40, 000, 600 worth of INT
which was on hand in various eastern
munition plants was turned over to
the Interior Department for use in re-
clamation work, Alaska engineering
work, the national parks and other
places where blasting Is necessary.
The War Department had planned to
send this dangerous accumulation of
explosives into the sea after the
poison gas, but Secretary Lane res
cued 1t and said it would save his de-
partment a lot of the money 1t has
been spending for dynamite.
For the disposal of other war mate
rial, uch as lumber, steel, copper,
Department has organized a sales d.
vision, to which everything no longer
needed for the army is being turned
over.
None of this material will be sold
at bargain prices. because to do so
would disrupt the commercial mar
kets and raise a howl from industry.
The sales division has reached an
agreement with the copper producers
of the country, for instance, under
which 100. 100000 pounds of copper
now in the hands of the army will be
placed on sale for a period of Is
months. 1t will be sold at market
prices, and a company has been Or
ganized to dispose of 1t.
In handling its surplus lumber a
similar arrangement was made, and a
firm which represents the majority of
the American lumber associations was

NEW YORK, April 1.-The Aero

Mazarin's passion for gambling was
