CITY NEEDS SKILLED FERRYMEN
And Can't Get Them without = Special
Civil Service Law.


Mayor Mcclellan gave a hearing yester-
day on the bill passed by the Legislature
permitting the Civil Service Commission to
put in the preferred class the men now en-
ployed on the Staten Island ferry when the
city begins the operation Of the ferry.
Representatives Of the Chamber Of Com
merce, the Board Of Trade and several
other civic and marine organizations in
formed the Mayor that II was essential for
the safety Of the ferry that the pilots and
other employees who have been running
the ferry, many Of them for over a score Of
years, should be retained. But a. the law
now stands they would have to pass a COM
petitive civil service examination and come
out at the top before the city could hire
them.
Mayor Mcclellan intimated that some Of
the lawyers who spoke at the hearing would
prepare a brief showing that the Civil
Service Commission had no power except
by means Of the bill before him to place
the men in the preferred class, and he would
approve the measure.

DANGERS OF BASKET BALL
Woman Physical Director at Welles-
ley Urges Campaign Against
So-Called Abuse.

A letter from Miss Lucille Eaton
Hill, director Of physical culture at
Wellesley college, urges a campaign
against that which she terms this
dreadful abuse OF uncontrolled basket
ball in girls secondary schools" says
Good Housekeeping. How strongly
and deeply this good friend OF girls
feels. who is an avowed enthusiast
with regard to athletics for women.
Is evident from the specific charges
brought in the letter against this
game as It Is oftentimes played. Moral
injury, as well as physical Miss Bin
finds in uncontrolled basket ball trace
able largely to the development OF the
competitive spirit. This competition
has been known to descend to the
level Of "slugging." So long as ath-
letics make a girl stronger and more
womanly, as they undeniably can do,
there IS none to quarrel with them or
take offense. Uncontrolled basket
ball" in the experience OF Miss Hill
and she knows, II anybody-has
passed out Of this useful sphere.
Woman IS not undeveloped man, but
diverse" The boys and men who
stoop TO folly in their sports should
be object lesson enough 10 women ex-
posed to the same temptation and sub
ject to consequences more pitiable.

THE DRAINAGE OF sWAMPS
Farmers Who Have No Experience
in the Work Should Engage Serv-
ices Of Engineer.

There IS no general rule TO guide in
experienced persons in the draining OF
swamp lands. The quality OF swamp
land varies as much as do upland. AS
a general rule here. cranberry and
moss swamp are not the ones to drain
for agricultural purposes, unless un-
derlaid near the surface with well
rotted muck and clay subsoil. Swamps
covered with good timber. not scrub,
and all kinds Of grass swamps, are al
most always all right for farming. A
good swamp farm well drained is all
right. Clay subsoil swamps are prefer.
able to sand or hardpan.
Loose soil should not be drained too
deep the first two or three years, but
gradually deepen the drains as the soil
settles, which on some swamps is con-
siderable. Above all things do not
burn of the top soil. as such marshes
are nearly ruined, II not quite. Il IS
true some swamps are ruined by drain
ing, while others are benefited from
the first AS I said above. II depends
much on the kind and quality. Neigh
borhoods that have no experience In
such matters would do well to engage
the services OF an experienced engin.

swamp farmer, will say | have been
quite successful, with no reason to
complain. grow hay. corn, potatoes

The new papermaking machines

SARATOGA PLEASES WOMEN
Famous New York Resort Gives Tenn
porary Freedom to the
Fair Sex.

THE lady at Saratoga gets more out
Of her visit than does the gentleman
who takes her there" says Charles E.
Treyathan, in Everybody's Magazine.
"She may do with impunity in Sarato-
ga those things which she may not ap-
proach even in thought elsewhere, and
II is perhaps because Of this temporary
freedom that she loves her Saratoga as
she loves no other resort II is the one
environment through which she may
move along II she like. the one acre OF
pleasure-making where the escort is not
necessary to her pursuit Of laughter.
She may 90 through the drives alone
in the forenoon. and she may stroll
about the race course in the afternoon
alone; she may dine alone and wine
alone; she may sit out the concerts in
the evening or watch the moonlight on
the Yerandas alone, and there will scarce
be comment upon her actions She may.
without fear. go alone anywhere and
everywhere In the town that a man can
90. And this IS a privilege Of which she
does not avail herself She merely gets
keen sort Of relish IN the idea that she
could an she would There Is more fun
to be had with somebody along and
the lady Of Saratoga is rarely a person
alone.'"

OLDEST ARMY TUNE STIRS
"The White Cockade" Played in
April, 1775, Puts Life Into
Feet Of Marchers.

Il Is the old music, after all. that puts
the life into marching feet. for 1t carries
the traditions OF marching in its melo-
dies. This white Cockade" is his
torical melody to Americans. though
many Americans may not be aware OF
the fact. says Boston Transcript II
was the tune TO which the farmers who
fred the shot heard round the world
marched when they determined to force
the passage Of the bridge at Concord.
Possibly It was the only tune which the
drummer and ffer OF Capt Isaac Davis
company knew. but the fact that IT was
played IS historical The popularity Of
the tune is proof that a melody made for
one party is recognized as good by all
II It has the quality Of being singable
"The White Cockade" was originally a
Jacoblte tune. but It made a good march
for the descendants Of the English Puri-
tans. April 1e 1775, when Capt Davis
made his musicians strike up As they
were the first American force that ever
advanced to battle as Americans. THE

NOT THE JUDGES INITIALS
Bright British Clerk Puts the c. o. D.
on Glass Decanters Of Law
Dispenser.

There IS a justice Of the supreme court
In Washington whose guests have often

English glass decanters. Now, the Judges
family name does not commence with n
CD" and neither did the maiden name Of
Mrs. Judge. This is the simple story
which explains It all says The New York
Times.
The English do not use the mystic col
location Of letters which, to the Ameri-
can. demand cash on delivery Of the
goods. and so It was that when the jus-
tlce's son-in-law. visiting England not
long ago. selected the decanters et q
famous London firm for the judge. and
added, after giving directions where the
package should be sent: "Be sure yo1
put on Il c. o. D." It came about that
the intelligent British clerk conceived
those letters to be the initials Of the gem
tleman for whom the bottles were de-
signed.
