SEEKS PRlCT|CAL ADVICE
Vocational Board Will Ask Employ.
erS What to Teach.

Personal inquiry is to be prosecut-
ed among employers in the typical
Industries Of the state by the state
vocational commission to obtain the
data on which system of vocational
education will be constructed. This
inquiry, according to DR.. Herbert G.
Lull, professor of education in the
University of Washington and chair
man of the commission, will be made
as soon as the survey now in process
in different counties of the state is
completed.
The principal object of the supple
mentary investigation is to learn
what the employers expect from the
workers in the way of training for
the employment they offer and what
opportunities the several industries
offer the worker for advancement.
Direct assistance in the matter of
outlining a system of vocational edu-
cation will be sought from the en-
ployers in the form Of opinions on
just what kind of training is most
necessary for efficiency, how valuable
general school training is, whether
a complete high school training is of
advantage, and what form vocational
training should take to be most ef-
fective with reference to any parti-
cular industry.

AMENDS SHIPPING LAWS
Congress Passes Measures Designed
to Aid Merchant Marine,

President Wilson signed Tuesday
the emergency shipping bill passed
by congress last Monday, authorizing
the president to admit foreign-built
ships to American registry so that
commercial fleets may sail the seas
under the protection of the American
flag while all Europe is at war and
is securing the sea for prizes.
This legislation was enacted after
the senate had repudiated the con-
ference report on the bill, which pre-
viously had radically amended the
bill, and as it went to the president
it was practically the same as it pass
ed the house more than week ago.
The senate killed the conference re-
port by vote of 40 to 20 because of
the determined opposition of the ma
jority to the provision which would
have admitted to the American coast
wise trade all foreign-built vessels
taking American registry within two
years.
AS finally agreed upon, the bill,
besides providing for the registry OF
foreign-built ships, authorizes the
president in his discretion to suspend
provisions of the law requiring all
watch officers of American vessels to
be citizens Of the United States, re-
quiring survey and inspection and
measurement of all vessels admitted
to registry by officers of the United
States.

the cash register of approximately

making good his escape.
The robbery was the boldest that
has taken place in Olympia for some
time and caused great excitement.
The young fellow appeared to be
about 25 years old, was smooth-shav-
en- and rather pale, and fairly we'll
dressed. During all the time he was
in the place he exhibited GOODNESS and

FINANCES NEARLY NORMAL
Satisfactory Progress Reported This
Week in Domestic Affairs.

Further progress toward normal
conditions was manifested in the do
mestic financial situation this week,
according to reports from New York
City, and encouragement was ex-
pressed over the more complete un-
derstanding between the administra-
ton at Washington and the influen-
tial banking interests regarding the
pressing need of remedial measures.
Abandonment of the French loan,
as urged by the administration, was
accepted as the only course consis-
tent with this country's neutrality,
for if carried out it inevitably would
have been followed by similar trans
actions for other belligerents. Incl
dentally, a better inquiry for COM
mercial paper was reported from in
terror banks, foreign exchange was
again normal and arrangements for
the resumption of exports were max
ing satisfactory progress.

PREDICTS l5-cENT SUGAR
New York World Sees High Prices
Ahead and Tells Why.

Ten, II not fifteen, cent sugar seems
bound to come as a result of the Eu-
ropean war, the New York World be-
lieves, adding: "Of the worlds an
nual production of 100000 tons,
100000 tons come from the coun-
tries involved in the conflict. What
part of this is being harvested is be-
ing used as food, not for manufac-
ture.
"In other words, this years pro-
duction of sugar will be only little
more than half its usual figures.
Three years ago, shortage of l.
100000 sent wholesale prices to IN

agreed yesterday that retail price

doubted that the higher mark would
be reached.

TOURS DISTRICT TO
PROMOTE CANDIDACY
CHARLES DRURY BELIEVES
GREAT WAR MEANS MUCH
FOR u. s.

Charles Drury, candidate before
the coming primaries for the Demo
cratic nomination for congress from
Southwestern Washington, is this
week touring the northern half of
the district in an automobile, and
his itinerary will carry him from Ia
coma to the sea. A little later he
will cover the south half OF the dis
trict. While in Olympia Mr.. Drury
stated that from assurances he was
daily receiving from all parts of the
district the primary fight will be cas-
lily won.
Having just returned from a trip
to the Old World Mr.. Drury states
that when he left Europe the mill
tary forces of the great powers were
then being aligned for the titanic
struggle now on there. Due to the
war he believes the United States
now occupies the most fortunate and
unique position in it's history. From
the business vantage point alone, he
says. countries all over the world,
finding trade relations out with Eu-
rope, are now forming new trade al
liances~and commercial coalitions
with this country that are Of enor-
nous Significance.
"The United States" says Mr..
Drury, "is now entering on new
and profoundly important era of its
history. Back of present conditions
stands future richer in realities
than any period of promise we have
heretofore faced. War-torn Europe
is exhausting itself in the monumen-
tai strife Of the ages. When it is
over the energies of these great pow
ers will be depleted, legitimate val
ues cut to pieces, property generally
destroyed and manufacturing ard
progress thrown back several genera

should wake up to our opportunities.

are on the eve Of greater prosper

years. At the head of the nation
stands great mana man whose
increasing popularity is sweeping out
party lines on all sides.

GRIEF OVER WAR
| KILLS POPE Plus
CATHOLIC PONTIFF DIES THURS.
DAY MORNING FROM OLD
AFFLICTION.

ROME, August 21.-Pope Plus x
died at 1920 o'clock Thursday morn.
ing (4:30 p. m. Wednesday, Pacific
time). He had been i'll for several
days. but alarming symptoms did not
develop until Wednesday morning.
His condition had been aggravated
by grief over the European war. The
cardinals were notified of the pope's
grave condition, and some of them,
who entered the sick room, described
the impressive and heart-rending
scenes, especially when the pontiff,
rousing himself from time to time,
spoke. Once he said:
"In ancient times the pope by a
word might have stayed the slaugh-
ter, but now he is impotent."
Extreme unction was administered
by Mgr. Zampini, sacristan to his
holiness. 1t was a touching scene.
The sisters of the pope and his niece
were overcome with grief. Cardinal
Merry Del Val knelt by the side of
the pontiff's bed, where other cardi-
nails joined him, the members of the
household joining in prayers.
Dying Pope Talks of Wars Horrors.
The dying pope, in moment of
lucidity, said:
"Now I begin to think as the end
is approaching that the Almighty in
His inexhaustible goodness wishes to
spare me the horrors Europe is un-
dergoing."
The pope had been ailing for many
years, and he found the weight of
70 years, added to the worry over re-
cent happenings in the old world, too
great for his feeble strength, when
he suffered a return attack of his old
ailment, gouty catarrh.
Although his physicians did every
thing that lay within their power to
ease his condition and produce arti-
fetal strength, they could do nothing
to relieve his state of mind, and the
pontiff sank steadily.
Pope Since August 4, 1908.
Pope jus X. was the first pope of
plebeian origin for over a century
and half and was chosen August 4,
1908, after having been successfully
country curate, parish priest, bishop
of Mantua, cardinal and patriach of
Venice, of whom there were only |
three when he was chosen pontiff.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 21.
Complete revision of American

regulations to make it possible for
ships to operate as cheaply
as ships flying foreign flags.

PANAMA CANAL IS
OFFICIALLY OPENED
WORLDS TRADE MAY NOW PASS
THROUGH NEW OCEANIC
WATERWAY

Steaming from Cristobal on the
Atlantic side to Balboa on the Pa
cific in nine hours, the steamship
"Ancon," owned by the war depart
ment, with many notables aboard.
marked officially last Saturday the
opening of the Panama canal to the
world. Henceforth ships may pass
to and fro through the great water
way, which establishes a new ocean
highway for the worlds trade and is
looked to by the people Of this coast
as the factor which will bring about
its greatest development.
The trip Of the "Ancon'' was the
fastest yet made by q large ocean
steamer, the locking operations being
quicker, owing to greater experience.
The steamer went through the Gatun
locks in 70 minutes. a speed never
before equaled. The other lockages
we're equally rapidly made.
Colonel Goethals Pleased.
Colonel Goethals, builder of the
canal and governor of the zone,
watched the operations closely and
was manifestly pleased at the i'm
proved handling of the locks. He de-
clared that even this would be made
much better with time. Captain
Hugh Rodman, superintendent of
transportation, who directed the trip,
voiced similar sentiments.
The great waterway now becomes
free and open to the vessels of COM
merce and war of all nations on
terms of entire equality" in accord
ance with the provisions of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty.
Vessels drawing not more than so
feet of water may make the passage.
1t would be possible to put the big
American dreadnaughts through at
any time, while any of the foreign
now in the Atlantic and
Pacific waters could also make the
trip.
