~ good effect upon the targets. At

ed position using the indirect me-
thod" of laying the guns. This is the

MANY CHANCES
FOR PROMOTION
!. IN THE NAVY

Young men Of mechanical or techni-
cal bent find good opportunity in the
United States navy to train and i'm
kind are always in demand, and those
who show promise are encouraged and
helped to rise. Many begin at the
very bottom of the ladder, as ''strik-
ers" in turret or in the dynamo
room; others obtain assignment to one
of the training classes >from which
they are sent back to a ship qualified
as electricians or as carpenters or as
machinist's mates. There is nothing
to keen good man back; every one
gives him a helpful hand II is even
possible, SAYS naval officer in writ
ing in the Youths Companion, for the
apprentice seaman to become, after
five years of service, a permanent
chief petty officer, with pay of more
than $40 a month After three years
more he may try for a warrant. Most
of those who attain warrant rank take
longer to do it, often IL years or
more; some try for 1t again and again,
and many never try at all. Those
who succeed become officers, with pay
beginning at $500, and increasing to
$4,000 year. These men are the boat
SWANS. gunners. carpenters, machin-
lists and pharmacists of the navy; they
are called warrant officers. After six
years they get another step. to chief
warrant officer and receive a. commits
sion from the president Most Of
them are content with that; but the
law permits IL men every year to be
commissioned as ensigns. provided
they can pass the examination. Once
a man becomes an ensign there is no
limit to the rank he NAV attain.
