A. B. Waddingham
CITY ENGINEER, WATTS

Not an experimenter who might cost
the city money, but a practical en-
gineer with plenty of satisfactory re-
suits to show for his work is what the
city of Watts secured when they gave
over their engineering problems two
years ago to Mr.. Waddingham.
Young, bright, ambitious, still on the
shady side of thirty, his native town
FIT. Bascom, N. M, may we'll expect
to chronicle his advancement in his
chosen profession. Equipped with
good education, other than college, and
successively engaged in irrigation,
mining and municipal work covering
ten years actual service, the municipal
work now in course of completion or
contemplated at Watts is in good
hands.
To show just what is being done In
Watts the work on fourteen streets
is under way; four miles of cement
work is in; a sewer and drainage sys-
tenn is contemplated; and the total cost
of all improvements will total $110Ooo,
of which $50,000 is now available from
a recent bond sale-and all of this
work is under the direct supervision or

ADVICE FOR YOUNG SAILORS

CAPTAIN Macnab's maxims for boys
who intend going to sea seem to have
the right ring to them. Among the
things that a future "A. B" on board
his first ship should remember are:
start your sea life with the firm
determination of attaining the top of
your profession Be proud of your
ship, be proud of your cloth and aim
to be the smartest boy on board.
"Ingratiate yourself with the officers,
but keep your own end OF the snip.
Don't put your hands in your pockets
in the presence of a superior. Learn
to speak nautically and listen to all
nautical arguments. Ask to be shown
what you don't understand. Don't be
too proud to learn from anybody. Re-
member to be civil to the men and
obliging to your fellows. Be first to
spring aloft at night when able and
don't forget to hold on well when on
a lee yard arm. Avoid skylarking near
open matches"
Among other advice Captain Macnab
gives to young sailors is to take great
care of his oil clothes, keep his knife
sharp and if he has to fall to try ana
fall to windward and not to leeward.
The captain advises the young tar to
learn to play some instrument; to see
all the sights of foreign places, to
learn the language of the natives and
not to forget to be kind to them.
Among the "donts" which the cap
tain advises all young sailors to keep
in mind are the following:
Don't take too many fine clothes to
sea; don't go aloft until you can hold
on; don't go aloft in sea boots or with
out your knife; don't go to the weather
side when you cast up your accounts;
don't believe all the yarns you near
and never tell shipmates your sweet
hearts name; don't eat all your weeks
sugar on Saturday night nor slide
down backstays and ruin your trous.
ers. Don't be quarrelsome' put oohl
take an insult from anybody"
The captain ends up his list of donts
with: ,,.
"Don't climb mango trees; don't
spend your money on rubbish; dont
work bareheaded in the sun; don
scratch mosquito bites; don't forget to
write home; don't swear; don't drink
don't desert-The Aerogram

ages including beer, brandy gin, wine and
whiskies-and all goods sold at Los An
geles prices.
Despite the fact that Silvers & Co. keep
two delivery wagons steadily employed in
Watts and vicinity, supplying their family
trade, so unobtrusve is their business as to
cause little or no comment.
The firm also carries the most popular
brands of cigars and tobaccos, and are the
only wholesalers of soda water, supplying
a large territory.
The writer does not believe that there is
enough money to tempt Mr.. Silvers to vio-
late the law in the marketing of his pro-
ducts, and the city of Watts Will never
find it's confidence misplaced in allowing this
gentleman to do business there.
