Our Sailors.

The New York Evening Post re-
Gently cited the names of the sailors
who are to man cup racing yacht a.
levidence that Americans are no longer
following the sea as a vocation. In
referring further to the matter, the
Post sarcastically remarks: Thls
American thirst for the ocean is the
reason. we are sure. why some OF our
statesmen are so earnest in their de-
sire to provide an American merchant
fleet to give outlet to the energies OF
our seafaring classes" The crew re-
ferred to is made up almost entirely OF
Swedes and Norwegians admittedly
the best sailors available today. Thev
do not excel in skill or reliability the
native sons who man the coasters
from Maine, but unfortunately sueh
men are unavailable Their numbers
are so few that it might he dIfficult TO
find the twenty-five needed,
We maintain that instead or tnis
condition being an argument against
aid to a merchant marine that it is on
the contrary a potent argument in
favor of such policy. 1t is well
known that the native American de-
mands a higher wage than any other
nationality. as well as better living
conditions and better treatment. The
small wage and hard life of the sea
have driven the young men of this
country away from it. If they are
ever to return il will be because the
conditions surrounding that employ
ment improved.
Men engaged in the shipping bnsi-
ness know that wages cannot be APP
preciably increased under the present
conditions. that they need a start be-
fore they will be able to maintain
business on snch scale and under
such conditions that they will be able
to pay more than they are now pay
ing. The Yankee SailOrman is no
longer sailOrman because he can
earn more being something else.
Eventually it is from these Swedish,
Norwegian and other nationaltieS
that We will be compelled to recruit
our fighting men in time of war when
men of experience on the sea are
needed quickly
So we say again that the fact that
a rich New Yorker, who wished to
man Il yacht with which he was to
compete in foreign waters, was COM
PEELED to recruit his sailors among
men of foreign birth or extraction, is
an argument for aid to American
shipping rather than against it.

The "Oil Stove" a Kitchen Necessity.

1t is only within late years that Ameri-
edged the kitchen supremacy of the blue
flame oil cooking stove.
First attempts at using kerosene as
fuel We're crude, poorly planned and Of
ten disastrous indeed.
The advent of the scientifically con-
structed FLORENCE Automatic" however,
terminated the experimental stage in oil
range construction and gave the. over
worked and overheated housewife and
kitchen girl a thoroughly efficient. safe
and reliable, general purpose oil cooking
range of great power. The Florence Au-
tomato Oil Stove is the product of the
manufactured at Gardner, Mass. 1t is a
| wickless, blue flame stove. regulated in
stantly by a short lever. which is handily
placed in front for instant use. The
| height of the flame is always what the
position of this lever indicates.
