When Columbus discovered
America, he found a land
flowing with milk and honey;
but one thing was lacking
sheep.
SO he set about to remedy
this little defect by bringing
some with him on his very
next voyage.
Which would seem to indi>
cate that Columbus was quite

lamb chop as the patrons of

Millions in Building Ma

at Raritan.
COAL FOR GRADING
~ Carloads Dumped in One
Place to Fill In De-
pressions.
MOTORS BECOMING JUNK
Official Disregard for Govern
ment Property Shown Also
in Morgan, N. j.

If the War Department were to
have its beautifully parked and graded
encampment in northampton, n. j.,
thoroughly ploughed and turned over it
should reap a rich harvest of coal,
kegs of nails, steel and other valuable
bits of material which were deliber-
ately buried there more than two
years ago, when the encampment was
constructed and the grading accom-
plished. There were also buried be-
meath the soil Of this camp a large
number of timbers, 80 to 40 feet In
length and IS to 20 inches in width,
which like the nails. coal and other
things. had been purchased by the
War Department at cost equalling a
great many Liberty bonds.
The story of the interment of all
this treasure was related to repre-
sentative of THE NEW YORK HERALD
by q resident of the neighborhood
who had considerable to do with the
work of building the encampment,
which at the present time is referred
to as Raritan Arsenal. and which is
given over to the storage of vast
quantities of material. a very large
part of which is lying in the. open ex-
posed to all kinds Of weather and
rapidly becoming junk.
"You see, this camp was built in a
rush. like all of them" this man said,
land guess they didn't care how they
threw away money. I could see things
goin, on there all the time that shouldn't
have ever been liberated. One of my
friends was in charge of construction
train that was carting dirt to the place
to fill in the hollows in the ground.
One day wherf he got to low place
where he was supposed TO have train
load of dirt dumped he found that some
one else had been along and had dumped
a lot of steel and kegs of nails right In
the place where the dirt was supposed to
go. Now. that was pretty valuable lot
of stuff, and my frind went to one of
the foremen and told him he could not
dump the dirt there because all these
kegs and other things were in the place.
He thought the foreman would get a
gang to haul the kegs and steel out, but
the foreman did no such thing.

His Protest Was vain.


THAT foreman just turned to my
friend and said To hell with that stuff.
just cover 1t all APP Then the dirt was
poured in on top of all of that material
and 1t was covered up. l had never
seen such waste before in my life.
But this wasn't ALL Another time a
trainload of hard coal was pulled into
the place and dumped there. There were
twenty-seven cars In ALL and they We're
poured out into one of the hollows in the
ground Then along came n gang with
orders to fill that place in, and they de-
liberately put four or five feet of earth
on top Of those twenty-seven carloads
of coal.
"Then tie big timbers were pulled in.
They were intended for use in the con-
struction of buildings. but they were
covered up with dirt also, and more tim
Der had TO be brought in to carry on the
work about the place. These instances
came to my attention. / don't know how
many more such cases there were, but
1t is fair to presume there was lot
that didn't come to my notice. I don't
wonder that il cost so much to build
these camps. and don't wonder that the
War Department IL asking for another
enormous appropriation. At the rate at
which they throw money away I should
think they would need lot of it.
MY opinion was, after looking at this
work, that II the War Department were
to cut down on what Il is giving to
grating contractors and persons with
political influence they could do a great
deal more for the soldiers and still get
along with much less money than they
are now asking for"
All of this grading was rendered nec-
essary by the fact that the Government
chose as n site FOR the Rarltan Arsenal
tract of land that would ordinarily
have been converted into swamp by
the first prolonged rainy spell. At the
present time the main entrance to the
place presents n neat appearance to the
visitor. but short distance from this
entrance there is another striking ex-
ample OF War Department waste.

Waxing Wooden Dishes.

If wooden dishes are to be waxed
to render them impervious, they should
be made of a good quality Of pine or
deal with an even grain, and the inside
should be sandpapered quite smooth.
Then, says Camera Craft" while the
dish is being made thoroughly warm,
to lust a little short Of the scorching
point, using an ordinary kitchen oven,
the wax should be melted and heated
In a water bath on top of the fire.
With both the dish and the wax as
hot as can be conveniently handled, the
coating Is applied with brush that
Is not too stiff, as evenly as possible,
working in a warm atmosphere. When
the fire has gone out the dish may be
put back in the oven, so that the wood
will absorb more Of the wax than 1t
otherwise would, leaving it there until
the next morning. With little prac-
flee one is able to make workmanlike
lob: and such dishes, particularly for
large sizes, make great saving In ex'
pense.

Gray hair, however, handsome, de- notes advancing age. We all know the advantages of youthful appear ance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray and looks streak ed, just a few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances it's ap- pearance hundred fold.
 Don't stay gray! Look young! Either prepare the recipe at home or get from any drug store bot tie of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which is merely the oldtime recipe improved by the ad- dition of other ingredients. Thou sands of folks recommend this ready to-use preparation because it dark ems the hair beautifully, besides, no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and evenly. You mois- ten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this thru the hair, taking one small strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it's natural color is restored and it be- comes thick, glossy and lustrous, and you appear years younger. ;,

It's flora and fauna have never been studied little is known of the movements of the tidal currents along its shores; and the facts of geology, mineralogy and me teorology await the coming of sci entific observers.
 The party headed by Donald Mac Milan, Peary's lieutenant on the eX- petition that reached the North Pole, plans to leave Boston about July l. 1921. and to reach Baffin Land in less than month, with good luck. The following winter will be spent on the western shore in latitude 69 The camp will probably be just south of the entrance of the danger ous Fury and Hecla strait where the ships of Captains Parry and Lyon, seekers of a northwestern passage, were blocked century ago. That IS 160 miles north of the Arctic Circle and 700 miles suoth of Etah on the shore of northwestern Greenland where MacMillan's Croclerland cX- petition passed four winters.
 During the winter attempts will be made by dog teams to explore the coast northward and in the following summer the interior of the island will be penetrated. The plans for the exepdition call for an absence ot two years from this country. In case longer stay is necessary, no relief expedition will be sent, accord ing to present arrangements. If the ship is crushed in the ice, the party plans to retreat by dog teams to Fort Churchill, the trading post at the foot of Hudson bay, and to return to civilization by way of northwestern Canada.
