Legion Secures
ecentraliZatiOn
Veterans Bureau

Decentralization, the object of sew
eral years fight on the part of The
American Legion, has actually been
started by the veterans bureau I'M
der authority of the Reed-Johnson
bill passed in the closing days of
Congress.
Decentralization means much to
the disabled veterans OF the World
War. 1t means, at least, a chance
for the disabled man to lace the
men who will decide whether a
claimant is entitled to compensation,
disqualification or training.
Under the plan of decentralization
announced by Director Frank T.
Hines Of the veterans bureau, Casper
will have one of the fifty regional
offices to be established. No longer
will veterans of this state be re-
quired to set their case down ION
paper" to be sent to Denver, there
to be decided upon by a board that
seldom II ever ome in contact with
the claimant.
Decentralization a better SER
vice for the disabled. not only from
the viewpoint of the bureau but from
the viewpoint Of the Legion. The
Departments of the American Legion
are enabled under this plan to main
tain closer contact with the bureau,
thus rendering better assistance to
the claimant. The American Legion,
Department of Wyoming, will main
tain a service officer in Casper for
the purpose of assisting Veterans
with their claims. The Legion does
not confine its services to its mem
bers. Its prime purpose is to- help
all veterans.
Decisions of the regional offices
will be final, but occasionally be sub
iect to review by the central office
board of appeals at Washington in
matters tending to show whether OF
not the law was followed.

Of which are used on the Ford organ
fzation. The pitch is used for seal
ing batteries and insulating coils;
the creosote as a p~reservative for
poles, posts and railroad ties, and
the %flotation oils for mining urpos
in the Ford mines.
The group of by-products contain
ing methyl alcohol and acid, after
being neutralized with lime, go to
stills where the alcohol is driven
off. The lime, combining with the
acetic acid makes calcium acetate
and from this there is produced ethyl
acetate, great quantities of which
are used at the Highland Park Plant
of the company in the manufacture
Of leather cloth for automobile tops
and upholstery.
The methyl coming off goes to the
refinery and energies IS methyl ace
tone and methyl alcohol, useful as
solvents Of denaturing agents. The
remaining oils and the gas are used
as fuel.
Comprising the giant wood dis
tillation plant at Iron Mountain are
two main buildings, each with four
and six-story sections. The Carbon
ization building, where the process

wide, and the D%istillation building
where chemical products are made,
is 900 feet by 80 feet.
The buildings are furnished with
heat by a steam power plant, a uni
que feature Of which is a horizontal
smokestack ten loot in diameter and
more than 200 feet long, which con-
meets the two big buildings furnish
ing heat for wood drying.
Mechanical installation, driers, re-
torts, condensers, stills, etc., are the
largest ever placed in a plant Of the
kind. The stafford process of wood
distillation which effects the greatest
measure of wood conservation, is
used, instead of the old oven process.
The later requires good-sized pieces
of wood, while the Stafford process
can use anything of a cellulose struc-
ture-sawdust, shavings, chips, bark
corncobs, ven nut shells-and con-
vert it into charcoal and valuable
by-products.
In every respect the Iron Noun
tain plant presents a high example
of the extreme limits to which the
Ford Motor Company goes in its en-
deavor to effect every economy and
to contribute at all times as large
a measure as possible to the con-
%servation of national resources.

ART WORK WITH BULLETS
INSTEAD OF BRUSH

One of the very best things that
.:Ad" ~Topperwein does in his daily
shooting exhibition is the drawing
OF heads of people who are in the
public eye, drawing them on a sheet
of tin with rifle bullets instead of
with the brush on vi
Mr.. Topperwein who Is a member
of the Winchester shooting team will
be here on Oct. 10th and he will
cut out the profile OF Uncle Sam,
an Indian Head, President Wilson,
or our old friend Mutt.
The heads that most people and
gun clubs ask for are Uncle Sam
and the Indian Chief. Mutt is not
as popular now as he was several
years ago. 1t takes about 1856 bull
lets to work out the head of the In
dian and about $50 to make the pro-
file Of Uncle Sam. Topperwein turns
them out SO quick that it is unbeliev-
able. He shoots the Indian Head
in less than three minutes and I'm.
Gle Sam in four. The guns are load
ed by an assistant.
The likeness is cut out IN q piece
of sheet tin about two by four feet
set out in front of the audience, and
Topperwein sits on the ground about
20 feet from his tin v and puts
in the bullets with a 20 Winchester
automatic. While this is a remark
able bit of work 1t isn't the only
kind of shooting he does. He Is a
remarkable shot. The exhibition
will be worth the time of everyone in
this vicinity to watch.
1t will begin at $3.50 in the after
noon and Is free.

Ford Motor Company
Utilizing Resources

DETROIT. MICH, SEPT. 30
Operations have begun at the huge
wood distillation plant of the Ford
Motor Cmopany at Iron Mountain.
This great plant, largest and most
complete OF its kind and q distinct
ly salvage development. has a ca
pacity of daily producing charcoal
and chemical product to the value
OF more than $1,000 on the basis
OF present day prices.
II also constitutes the fifth unit

the company has co-ordinated under
one head at Iron Mountain. includ-
ing everything from raw materials to
the finished product and the reclama-

saw mills. dry kilms. body part plant
and wood distillation.
Under the magic OF modern
science. hardwood scraps and saw
dust from the Frod saw mills and
small. gnarled and otherwise useless
tree limbs from the Ford forests are
now made to- give up n score OF
valuable products. From n tor OF
such wood the Iron Mountain distil-

1876 pounds OF acetate OF lime.
CT gallons of SO per cent mothyl
alcohol.
610 pounds OF charcoal.
IL gallons OF tar, heavy oils, light
oils and creosote.
600 cubic feet OF fuel gas.
The charcoal. pressed into briquet-
