Department said Mr. Crowell had ap
pointed his assistant. C. W. Hare, to have general supervision of the work, and Brigadier General C. C. Jamleson, as director of sales. Plans for getting the immense stores out of the government's hands are being worked out with greatest care and will follow on the heels of the cancellation and curtailment of war contracts with which Mr. Crowell. as the Director of Munitions, has been engaged since the armistice was signed An instance of the problems to be solved lies in the single item of machine tools. The War Department has some $300,000,000 worth of these tools on hand, including the fixtures for gun manufacturing plants. It is planned to call into conference the Association of Machine Tool Makers and arrange with them for the absorption of a definite percentage of this government stock from year to year, the trade agreeing to sell the tools up to the agreed amount for the fovernment, although it will mean limitation of its own output to that extent. Included in Mr. Crowell's task is the
disposition of some 100,000 motor trucks. Those in France, however, will not be brought home, it is said, but will be sold to the French or Belgian governments for reconstruction work, as will much of the other American equipment. The number of trucks in France has been estimated at mor than 5n,ooo.

THE DANCE OF LONG AGO The "fiddle" is comin in style again As in the days of yore, When we danced to the "Arkansas Traveler" Upon the rough board floor. Oh, my blood it is a tinglin' And my feet they won't keep still. When I think of the dance of long ago And my black-eyed "beau," named .Will. A catch for the maidens all around Was this farmer boy, named Will, For he was the owner of a horse and sleigh And a little farm on the hill. Dan Morrow lived at '. Je cross roads And had built a Lie," new house. And the boys and girls fc." miles around Were invited in to dance. 'Twas New Years eve, the moon 6hone bright, And the ground was white with
snow; Will came for me with his horse and sleigh To go to the dance at Morrows. The Fiddler sat in the corner With his fiddle on' his knee; "Fill up the floor for another quadrille," And, "Honor your partners, "cried he. Then, "Corners turn and promenade 'round"; Black eyes smiled into blue; For never a thought had Will or I That trouble, that night would brew. Then "The Irish Washwoman" was played, And I "do-ce-doed" with Vern; When "Two ladies change" was called With Charley I took a turn. Then I "Swung 'em aroun' " with Rufus With Chalk and Orlando Knight. When "The Girl I Left Behind Me" Was played at Morrows that night. Will watched me from the corner, His face grew cold and stern, His head was lifted proudly. And his cheeks began to burn. The dance was over at 2 a. m. Will and I started home, But the joy we had when going Had with the old year flown. Will was jealous and spoke harsh words; I was proud and self-willed. So we said "good-bye" forever. For our hearts with anger were filled. Each in turn married a chosen one
