COLLEGE MEN IN BUSINESS
Demand for Trained Minds RESPONSE.
ble-Will Relieve Pressure on
the Professions.

The romance of worldwide busi-
ness is calling college men. Our
country's largest bank invited IA
universities to designate double that
number Of students for a special
course in financial training. In re-
sponse to that request 450 students
from n colleges have made-applica-
ton.
This is a decidedly wholesome
sign. Modern business has grown so
big and complex that the trained
mind commands a premium. Ameri-
can bankers found when this war be-
gan and thrust upon them a huge
volume Of foreign trade that very
few bankers in the United States
knew anything about foreign ex-
change and international money
usages. Our men lacked a knowledge
of languages as well as a knowledge
Of foreign countries. American cap
tains of industry were in nearly all
instances trained for domestic service
only. 1t is to meet these new inter-
national conditions than this great
bank has appealed to the colleges for
young men.
Since nearly all the professions are
crowded to suffocation and income
from them fails to mount with the
rising cost of living, the call of the
business world to college men be-
comes louder.-Philadelphia Public
Ledger.

ONE INDUSTRY AIDED BY WAR
Brier.Pipe Manufacture Has Been
Given a Decided Impetus-Best
Wood Comes From Italy.

The war has given an impetus to
the brier-pipe manufacture, which as
a commercial industry in England
had its inception in 1859, though its
age on the continent antedated that
period considerably. The French
white heath Erica arborea), whose
roots furnish the pipe material,
hourishes in all countries bordering
upon the Mediterranean and grows to
a height of 80 to 45 inches. Around
Florence, Italy, it is the custom to
cut the long, tough, young shoots
each year, bind them together, and
sell them for use in sweeping streets
in cities and towns. Outside Of this,
the plant is allowed to grow for three
or four years, when the roots will
have developed sufficiently to permit
cutting them, enough of the plant be-
ing left to permit cuttings every
three years. The roots most in de-
mand for pipe-making, certain
aroma and brightness Of wood being
the test, are those obtained from the
Tuscan Maremme in the neighbor-
hood Of Follonica, Cecina and Gros-
seto. They are preferred by manu-
facturers to those from any other
part of Italy, or from Algeria or the
Orient. Most of the land in the Tus-
can Maremme growing these roots is
owned by French and British con-
Germs, who maintain warehouses and
workshops on or near their lands
where the roots are washed, boiled
and roughly shaped, after which they
are sorted by size, color and quality.

CRUISER FIRES LAST SALUTE.

The guns of the historic cruiser
Boston sounded for the last time
when they shot forth a salute to the
cruiser Marblehead upon its arrival
from San Francisco to become the
training ship for the Oregon naval
militia, the Spokane Spokesman-Re-
views Portland (0re,) correspond
ent writes.
The Boston has been stationed
here for several years. Its machin-
cry long since went into disuse to
such an extent that it can no longer
navigate under its own power. 1t
now is to be scrapped.
The Boston was in Dewey's fa-
nous feet at Manila and is said to
have fired the first shot in the battle
of Manila bay, opening on the Span
iards by mistake before the Olympia
did. When Dewey returned to the
United States after the war he used
the Boston as his flagship for the
trip.
