.BLUEJACkETS' PAY
ABOVE THAT EARNED
BY AvERAvE WORKER
ANALYSIS OF SCHEDULE AND OP-
PORTUNITIES FOR ADVANCE
MINT MAKE NAVY LIFE LOOK
ATTRACTIVE.

In the recent hearing before the
Arbitration Commission into the oe-
mand for the locomotive engineers for
increased pay, there was a vast deal
Of talk about the present wage sched-
ule of that and other skilled class of
labor.
Time and time again the assertion
was made by those opposing the in
crease that the railroad employees Of
this country, taken as whole, aver
age a higher rate of pay than that
Of any other class of skilled labor.
A navy officer, who had been read
iLg the testimony and who had been
on duty at the navy recruiting bureau
ir this city, has made calculation
to show that the blueiacket of the navy
earns higher rate of pay than does
the railroad man.
From this calculation, he finds that
the average railroad man averages
$640 year, it may be matter of sur
prise to many THE officer said, to be
told that the average pay of the Amer
lean bluejacket is better than that Of
the railroad man, but it is no less
true the average bluejacket, not the
picked man not the man of the special
class, but the bluhjacket and the re-
cruit who has just joined the service,
receives a pay which averages some
thing more than 1920 a year While
this may sound smaller, as matter
of fact, it really is larger, because in
addition to his pay the navy man gets
his board and lodging and medical at
tendance free. 1t may also come as
another surprise, this officer contin-
ued. to know that it is now almost as
difficult for man to enlist in the
navy as it is to get on the police force
OF position in the postoffice. That is
because of the rigid physical and men
tai examination which the applicant
has to pass. No longer is the navy a
refuge for DRINKS or loafers But
while the man of vicious habits is not
tolerated in the service now, there is
much of the old time pdejudice which

PROHIBITION Is CAUSE
HIGHER COST OF MILK.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. 17.-Dairy
men, wholesalers and retailers in milk
in Savannah believe they have found
a reason for the increased demand for
milk. They attribute the demand to
two things. the first of which is prohi-
bition, and the second the nine thous
and marines at Port Royal, and the fif-
teen hundred recruits and soldiers at
Fort Screven. This is the latest dope
on the milk situation. The dealers say
the demand for the tactical fluid since
prohibition has gone up fifty or sixty
per cent.

The OPERA HOUSE

In accordance with his progressive
policies and desire to give his patrons
the best in films, Manager Dudley of
the Opera House has just arranged
for the presentation of Mary Pick
ford's new Aircraft picture, "A Ro-
nance of the Redwoods."
This production was staged under
the personal direction of Cecil B. De
Mile, who also wrote the story in
collaboration with Jennie Macpherson.
Mr. DeMille, it will be rendered, is
the producer of Joan the Woman"
the famous Cinema spectacle concern
ing the Maid of Orleans.
The art of Mary Pickford the super
star, combined with that of Cecil B.
De Mile, the producing genius, means
a new standard of excellence on the
screen. In direct contrast to her pre-
vious triumph, "a Poor Little Rich
Rich" Miss Pickford's newest vehicle
presents a red-blooded story of the
We replete with dramatic situations
as well as incidents of typical Pickford
charm. Supporting her in her forth
coming picture is an unusually effec-
tive cast including Elliot Dexter, the
popular leading man and husband of
Marie Doro, Charles Ogle, Tully Mar
shall, Raymond Hatton and Winter
