VICTIMS OF THE WANDERLUST
Marine Officers Complain That Cooks
Who Enlist in the Service Have
Mania to "keep Moving"

No, you aren't the only victim or
the servant problem. Here is another
sufferer:
Uncle Sam, rich and powerful, good
to his help" and the surest pay In
the world, can't keep his cooks any
longer or better than the ordinary
suburban commuter. He offers them
good pay. easy hours and lots or
nights out" but they simply will not
overlook the fact that they are cooks.
bred and born, and so keep moving
on.
United States marine corps stalls
tics covering the last two years show
a greater percentage OF men deserted
who gave occupation prior to entry as
cooks" than any other class enlisted
during the period.
Desertions from the marine corps
are very light at all times. The av-
erage marine considers that the serv-
ice offers better advantages than any
thing he could find in civil life, says
an exchange, and he believes the OPP
portunities for travel and adventure
to be unexcelled. and, were 1t not for
the cooks, marine corps officials be-
lieve that the oldest branch OF the
service would have an almost clean
slate with regard to assertions. No
class OF men looks SO lightly on the
oath of obligation as these self-same
knights of the frying PAN" marine
corps recruiters declare.

SHIP PURCHASE MEASURE
PASSED BY THE HOUSE
S5O,OOO,OOO Provided for Building and
Operating Merchant
Marine.

Washington, May 22.-The admins.
tration shipping bill, designed to up
build the American merchant marine
through federal aid, passed the house
by vote of 211 to 161.
1t is proposed under the bill that
the government shall use S50,000,0e0
raised from the sale OF Panama canal
bonds in the construction, purchase
and lease of merchant ships to carry
domestic commerce in the export
trade The ships will be sold or leased
to private concerns or parties as rap
idly as possible, the government re-
serving the right to call them back
in event of war, when they will be
auxiliaries of the navy.
A shipping board of five members
is created to prevent rate discrimi-
nation and unfair practices by all
ships in American waters and to fix
maximum rates.
A provision is carried that the gov
eminent shall cease operation Of all
merchant vessels it may have been
unable to dispose of through sale or
lease five years after the end of the
European war. This provision brought
to the bill the support of many Demo
Gratis who are opposed to government
ownership.
Republican Leader Mann delayed
passage of the bill through filibus-
ter, and more than 100 amendments
were offered These amendments were
abandoned later by Mr.. Mann, and the
Republicans did not present even a
substitute.
