to be widely circulated among former
service men, the dreams are destined
for the most part never to come true,
because the lands are richer in stones
and clay than in agricultural assem-
tials.

ers the Legion hopes to divert former
service men from taking up lands in
Oregon and California which have been

have been found to be practically val
ucless for cultivating purposes, Com

Robertson, assistant to the state com
mander, with offices in the hall of rec
ords, stated. Members of the Ameri-
can Legion living in the two western
states voluntarily investigated these
federal land grants, and it is upon
their report to the Legion that the ma
tioral commander bases his warning.
The land in Oregon and California
opened to former service men is de-
Scribed as agricultural and comprises
$50 000 acres of revested railroad lands

ANOTHER COAL TAR PRODUCT.
A Method Discovered Whereby II
Yields Cream Of Tartar.

At meeting of the New York sec
ton of the American Chemical society,
announcement was made OF q newly
discovered method of making coal tar
yield tartaric acid and other impor-
tant substances
The basis of the process i q method
of building up various substances from
maleic acid obtained from henzol, one
of the derivatives of dark and viscid
coal tar. Of these, the most welcome
to the hOusekeeper and the trade is
tartaric acid, which hitherto has been
made from the cream of wine casks
and employed principally in the max
ing of baking powder. The United
States, before the prohibition wave en-
quilted the vineyards where wine grapes
are raised, produced ten million pounds
Of cream Of tartaric acid. As the
cream Of tartar cannot be obtained ex-
