WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The ad. ministradon forces. after conferences this morning, reformed this morning to continue the fight for the passage of the ship-purchase bll A safe major ity of the Senate is claimed.
 The decision to renew the fight fol- lowed an early conference this morn ing between President Woodrow VII. son and Senator's F. NJ. simmons of North Carolina Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida, and Reprosonta- tive Claude Kitchen of North Carolina.
 It was decided to stand behind Sem ator Cores substitute for the bin now pending in tho Senate.
 lt developed at the conference that there was Q sentiment in the Senate to relax the fight for the Gore substi. ute in the Senate and permit the sub. sante to be attached as an amend. ment to the Keeks bin in the House, and let that come up to the Senate, and in Che meanwhile tho Senate could act on appropriation bills
 The decision however was to keep the fight up in the Senate. It is be. ieyed that this forecasts an extra session as some of the appropriation bills might have to so over if the Re publicans persist in the hlibuster

THE GRADUATE ENTERING
THE WORLD

As the members Of college or
high school graduating class line up
on the platform, 1t is hard guess to
! tell which will be the big business
and professional successes of ten
years hence. Even the professors
who know the young people thorough
ly, are often mystifed.
In a good many cases a certain de.
gree of business success is assured
at the start through personal pulls.
Many young men have fathers or
uncles or brothers in large concerns.
A handsome desk and comfortable
/ salary Is assigned the fledgeling OF
the family as soon as he acquires his
degree He may become faithful
and methodical worker But he Is
rarely the one who pushes his con-
Germ into bigger fields.
The success attained by many com
paratively obscure fellows is a won
der both to their teachers and as.
sociates. They may have had no So
cial graces and no facility in book
work. But somewhere back in their
makeup was certain bull dog tena.
city that knows not the word fail.
They hang on and hang on, until the
gates Of opportunity open, weary OF
their importunate striving.
Many young men without family in.
fluence are sure of good results from
the start, by certain innate person
al winsomeness. They greet the
world with frank enthusiasm and
make friends every day OF their lives.
People like to have them around and
do business with them. Their only
danger lies In their too great facility.
Sometimes the prizes come so easily
that they forget to work. Then the
tortoise soon overtakes the hare.
Graduates OF colleges and high
schools do not usually have to walt
long for a job. There Is always some
thing ready for bright young fellow
with willing hands. But to find an
opening that offers any chance Of ad
vancement is no easy matter Young
men should not grab too eagerly for
lines Of work In which there Is nc
call for individual judgment and mi
tiative. There is too much haste fol

man gets the afternoon off for so

people to run the government. Even
with a huge deficit staring them in

THE LACK OF SKILLED
LABOR

A man connected with concern
now making war material remarked
n few days ago, that 1t seemed al
most impossible to get enough Skill
ed workmen. He found that there Is
a good deal Of help that can be had
But only a fraction of the applicants
are men who can do a high grade
of mechanical adjustment.
In rush times almost any kind OF
an employee can get work. His IN
ferior product slips along. The IN
spector may see its defects, But
when customers are clamoring Tor
delivery or orders many faults slip
through that ought not to pass.
In the dull times of the past few
years, inferior workmen have found
themselves left out of the shuttle. II
there was work for only Il part "
the force, the skilled man was KEPT
at the bench, while the less efficient
man was informed that there was no.
thing doing. No complaint might ne
made of the quality OF his work. But
somehow there was never anything
for him
Just now the rush of war orders Is
prov ding work for many men whose
work is of infre OF quality. But when
war orders stop, and before the nor.
nal trade of peace times is reestab-
Iished there will be many an idle day
for the second rate artisan. These
conditions are true not merely OF
workmen in the lines making war
material, but in all lines of mechani'
cal employment.

some brains into his work. He
should study and learn the one per-

100000 and the condition of business
during the first few months OF the
war, the closing of the stock exchange
and the falling off in foreign business
are blamed for the poor showing
made. The postofiice is the one de,

probably never will pay, the extension
OF the parcel post system adding tc
the difficulty Of making both ends
