Der of manufacturing industries has
increased and a much larger number
of people are employed in industrial
occupations
The demands of trade have grown
in proportion. The business center
of the city is expanding. Within the
fire limits ten streets are now used by
retail and wholesale business of the
city. Michigan, Washington, Main,
Colfax, Jefferson, Wayne, Division,
St Joseph, Vistula and Lafayette.
New buildings OF modern design are
being erected and old buildings re-
modelled and enlarged to meet the ne
cessities of business.
South Bend is making good prog
ress. and though we should never be

ship may be reached by telephone.
There are 100 extensions from the
central exchange. The commodore
may be reached instantly in his pri-
vate office, at his bedside or at his
table in the dining room.
The turning of a wheel on the
bridge closes the compartment bulk
heads. If the warning, Man over
board" is given, some one on the
bridge touches a button, releasing a
life buoy capable of supporting two
men, which drops into the sea, burn
ing an acetylene light which is ig-
nited automatically.
Perhaps you noted the word COM
mOdOre. This officer is the chief of
the Imperator's five captains One
of the other four is known as cap
tain of the ship, he having charge of
the crew. The other three are called
watch captains. There is never a
moment when one of these five cap
tains is not on the bridge.
Also there are always six other men
on the bridge-two officers, two sail
ors who act as messengers, and two
quartermasters. one to steer and one
to look after the telephones and
other mechanical appliances
Even the searchlight on the fore
mast is operated from the bridge. In
case of dire danger, with the wireless
out of commission, it could be
pointed straight up to the heavens,
and by means of a key on the bridge
the international IS. Q. S." could be
flashed on the sky-a signal that
would be visible TO people on a ship
below the horizon, out Of sight of
the Imperator.

Getting the News
BY FRED c. KELLEY.

WASHINGTON. July 9-Imagine
yourself a stranger, all alone in Lon
don, trying to get a Job on a news
paper. And even if you did get the
job, consider the task of starting out
in that town, alone and penniless. and
undertaking TO search out the news
of the day.
Billy Van Benschoten is the man
who found himself in need Of job
in London. To add 10 his little an
noyance, he was extremely homesick
prOximate need was to get the price
of mere food. Later on he hoped 10
save up enough to pay mis- way across
the ocean blue to his own, his native
land. Won Benschoten is now the
Washington correspondent for the De-
troit Free Press, but at the time he
needed a job in London he was a lad
just out of college, whose newspaper
experience had been confined mostly
TO cub" work in the vacation season.
He and two other young men had
worked their way across the water on
cattle boat, and had visited Eng
land and the Continent taking in
they could make the necessary ar
rangements.
At the end Of three months they
found themselves in London with Just
a few dollars among them and all ex-
tremely anxious TO take passage on
bOatheaded hOmeward. They tried
TO hire out on a cattle boat and re-
turn the way they had come, even
though the chores that went with
that form of ocean travel held little
fascination for them. But they found
nothing doing in the way of cattle

thought Of a friend in Paris who
might be willing 10 lend money in
return for good will. They put all
their money into common fund and
IN that way raised the price OF a
telephone message TO the friend in
Paris. He was willing TO lend all the
money he had and he wired ii to
them. but there was enough TO pay
for the passage of only two persons
to the United States. Some one had
10 stay behind. They cast lots, and
it fell to Billy Van Benschoten to
tarry in London, there 10 work out
his salvation. The others took the
first boat home. for there was no
time 10 lose. Another day or two in
London and their passage money
would be gone.
Billy Van Benschoten went to the
dock TO see them off. He was not in
particularly jubiliant mood when
the last farewell was waved, and he
set out TO ascertain what the free
lunch routes held in store for him.
Even at that he was fairly optimistic
about finding work. He would go TO
a newspaper office. tell the editor Of
the chance TO hire a bright young
American journalist, and the thing
would be done.
But there was the difficulty. He
could not see the city editor OF any
paper. Moreover, he did not succeed
in getting inside a newspaper office.
In this country a man applying for
job on paper may not be able 10
confer with the editor. but usually
ne can at least reach the editorial
