ORDER HAD HIM SIN THE AIR"
died by Command That Was
Entirely New to Him.

In all the naval services tradition is
strong. AS Chief Boatswain McCar-
thy, U. S. N, has shown in an article in
THE Proceedings of the United States
Naval Institute" the adherence to GUS
tom extends to the manner in which
the boatswain's calls are varied for
different occasions. and even, in the
old navy, at least, it extended to the
way in which the officers gave their
orders.
The language used in passing words
was the vernacular of the sailor rather
than academic English, and the officer
who did not know that usually got poor
results from the boatswain's mate. who
had his own ideas about passing the
word, and got muddled in interpreting
any unusual order
On one occasion. the officer of the
morning watch gave this order:
"Boatswain's mate, scrub down with
rapidity." This was a new one, and
after causing the officer to repeat the
order three times, the boatswain's
mate become desperate. He grabbed
a deck bucket, and forced 1t into the
hand of the nearest apprentice, whom
he started on his way with push that
sent the youngster reeling, and fol-
lowed him with this shout:
60 to the captain of the hold and
ask him for bucketful of it, / never
heard of anything to scrub deck with
but sand and lime, and l don't know
anything about these new 'soogy-
moodgies.' anyway."-Youth's Com

STUDENTS EARN WAY

port-Some Make $500

New Haven.-Yale students who
worked their way through college last
year earned total of s37,146.s8 in
positions obtained for them by the bu-
reau of appointments of Yale univer-
sity. according to the first report of
that bureau.
During the year the bureau assist
ed 600 students who applied for work.
In the cases of three-fourths of the
men applying the bureau provided for
work and scholarship aid sufficient to
make the assets for the year equal to
the total necessary expenses.
Typewriting and stenographic work
furnished the most profitable means
of employment and the newspaper bu-
reau brought good results. Owing to
the discussion that arose concern
ing tutoring this means was not
pushed vigorously. Next year, ac-
cording to arrangements made by the
faculty, there will be a regular tutor
ing school attached to the university.
The record kept OF the amounts
earned by students shows that total
of 2,007 jobs were given out during the
nine months of the university year.
from which the men reported total
earnings of $19,646.ss, and ITS posi-
tions were furnished for students for
the summer. from which the esti-
mated total income is s17,500.
This, of course, does not include the
large amount of income of men from
work which they have continued on
inho Dht
previous years, or the earnings from
the large amount of work which men
have found for themselves about the
city. On the basis of this computa-
ton it is estimated about seven hun.
