The Hardware
Clerks Summer
By Ebba Wigfuss

This thing began at a New England
seasLore resort q year ago last sum-
n1er.
The young man concerned in the
case was from and is of New York.
SO was and is the girl.
The young fellow at that time had a
Job in a New York hardware store He
was a hustling, alert salesman, and a
pretty good haldshaker and got 500
week by way of salary.
When he reached the New England
seashore resort, however, he didn't
look like any $40 a week hardware
clerk. On the contrary he looked like
several different shades of prompt
money.
He had a number of very fossy
pairs of white duck trousers, a bunch
of outing shirts that were, as he him
self well knew and said, all the bon
bons, and other attractive wardrobe
features.
In addition he possessed winning
ways.
When he left for the resort he had
two weeks off with pay, little bank
wad in his pocket and a determine
t1on to have a hull heap of good
time for himself and his money while
he was away from iii OF New York.
The hotel was, as he found when he
got there, Uttered, cluttered, loaded up,
jammed, stuffed and packed to the
gun'ls with oodles and slews and slath-
ers of pretty girls Peaches, all of
them. Lockers, every one of them.
They were all beautiful enough to
cause young hardware clerk on two
weeks leave of absence to suffer at
least momentarily from the blind stag
gers at the first sight of 'em.
And to match this tremendous as
sortment of pretty girls scattered all
over and around the seashore hotel,
there were just four male persons. The
hardware clerk didn't have to be even
a. little bit conceited to discern, that
he had the other three male persons
backed off the boards in every imagi-
nable respect.
He could see that they wouldn't do
at ALL The girls had been tolerating
'em around, but the clerk saw right

Holes In Ships and Compressed Air.
Z A.method Of rendering vessels un-
sinkable by means Of compressed air,
applied in such a manner as to plug
or shut. off the. thrush of water
through holes in the bottom or sides
of the hull, was recently tested out on
the battleship North Carolina, and is
described in Popular Mechanics Maya
zine.
The important feature of the meth
cd of applying the compressed air to
prevent water from entering the ves-
sci through holes is the graduated
pressure of air exerted in the COM
partments surrounding the punctured
compartment.
II vessel has a draft of, say, 80.
feet, the application of sufficient pres,
sure to keep the water from entering
hole near the bottom Of the hull
would subject the upper decks to a
very considerable pressure which
might cause bad strain. When, how.
ever, a hole is punctured in the lower
portion of the hull and the air pres
sure required by the hydrostatic pres
sure is exerted to keep the water out,
the compartments Immediately above
and around the punctured compart.
ment are reinforced by 3 lighter
air pressure. and these compartments
are in turn supported by applying a
still lighter pressure to the next sur.
rounding compartments. This, it Is
claimed, prevents the straining o.
buckling of decks. bulkheads. etc.

to knock her, of course, whereas they'd

the hardware clerk, had made his ap-

Now, at the outset the hardware
clerk only meant to be a gay dog and
an awful cutup and clip among the
girls. But he hadn't been going around
with this one girl of his careful selec-
tion for two days before he began to
perceive that he was in bad.
That is to say, he found that he
was falling most hopelessly and fatu-

greater than ever before, and among the
