Since the government ship building

question has arisen regarding who is

there will be no great difficulty. Ger
many is depriving sailors on merchant
vessels of jobs faster than We can
provide them. But it seems desirable
that the new shipping should be
manned by Americans. To dc this,
however. probably will be impossible.
The United States mercantile marine
has been so small in the aggregate
for many years that there has been
little incentive for American young
men to enter upon a seafaring life
There is certain to be a serious lack
OF competent officers in consequence.
Only one nautical school is maintained
in this country. 1t turns out about
100 graduates a year. 1t is estimated
that the new merchant fleet will re-
quire the services of $4,000 trained

CURTIS SAVED THE DAY

Under the caption, Curtis of Kan
sas.'' John Temple Graves. in the Chi
cago Examiner. tells how the Repub-
lican senator from Kansas defeated
the administrations press censorship
plan as follows:
Curtis of Kansas-Charles is his
haptismal name-is the Republican
whip" of the United States senate.
He holds his seat and his responsible
party commission honorably, ably and
well. He is esteemed and trusted by
both sides of the august assembly and
liked by everybody.
Newspaper men and the lovers OF
free speech can never forget what
Curtis did in that long-drawn wrangle
over the unspeakable folly of Clause
c. of the censorship bill. The fight
for free press had grown tense in
the senate. The stamp of the admin
istration held the majority of Demo-
Gratis in line. The Republicans, free
of executive loyalty, were standing in
the main for free speech. Johnson, of
California, had been chosen to lead
opposition to the obnoxious clause. The
Progressive element was with him.
The roll was called on Johnson's mo-
ton. Before the vote was announced
it was known in the press gallery thal
the vote was a tie. The amendment
seemed lost unless the vice president
voted against the president-an i'm
probable thing. Curtis swiftly mo-
tionel for the pair clerk of the minor
ity, and then hurried over to Senator
Fernald of Maine. Fernald received
the recognition of the chair, and an
nounced a transfer of his pair, which
would allow him to cast his vote TOT
the Johnson amendment, just the mo-
ment before the official announce
ment

day for a free press. He knew what
| to do, and was there to do 1t.

claws, and. looking over his shoulder,
as best he could. Uncle Wiggily saw
that he was held fast by a big alli-
gator; a skillery-scalery chap with a
double jointed tail that he could swing
back and forth like a pantry door.
'Ah, ha! 1 have you!" gurgled the
gator.
Yes, 1 see you have!" said Uncle
Wiggiy, sadly.
You thought you and Father Will

Uncle Wiggily very tight and fast in
his claws.
What are you going to do with
me?" asked the rabbit.

"Foxes!" cried Uncle Wiggily.

how he could do it. At last ne thought
of the magical bottles Alice had given
him.
"Ah, hal" thought Uncle. wiggily.
I'll give the alligator a drink from

finally he was no bigger than a baby

"Oh. dear!" cried the gator in a

Uncle wiggiIy and the Magic Bottles.
BY HOWARD r. GARIs

Uncle Wiggily and the Magic Bottles.
Uncle Wiggily Longears, the rabbit
gentleman was hopping along thru
the woods one morning after having
eaten breakfast in his hollow stump
bungalow, when. just as he reached a
nice, grassy place. near spring of
water, he saw the little flaxen-haired
girl Alice from Wonderland, coming
toward him.
"Oh. I'm so glad to see your cried
Alice. You are Just in time to win
the first prize
She handed the gentleman rabbit a
little bottle, filed with what seemed to
be water, and stoppered with a blue
cork
First prize for WHAT" asked Uncle
Wiggily.
For getting here early" answered
Alice. And you also get second prize
too,' AMI she handed him another bot
tie, stoppered with red cork.
why do 1 get second price" asked
the bunny.
For not being late" answered Alice
with a smale. 1T is very simple. First
prize for being early. second prize for
not being late"
HUM" said Uncle Wiggily. sort of
scratching his pink, twinkling nose,
thoughtful like. It's much the same
thing, 1t seems to me-"
Not at ALL" said Alice, quickly
The prizes are very different. Those
bottles are magical. They are filed
with water from the pool of tears If
YOU drink few drops from the one
with the blue cork you will grow very
small. And if you take some of the
water from the red-stoppered bottle
you Will grow very large. Be careful
of your prizes"

Are there any others coming?" he
asked. looking about thru the trees.

gotten prizes, too?'

No one else could have gotten here

Please don't ask me-" begged
Alice. "All / know is that it's one Of
the riddles like those the March Hare
asks, such as What makes the mirror
look crooked at you?" The answer
is IL doesn't if you don't. In this case
you get the prizes because there is
no one else to give them to. So take
them and have an adventure. l have
to go see what the Duchess wants"
With that Alice faded away like
the Cheshire Cat, beginning at -her
head and ending up at her feet, the
last things to go being the buttons
on her shoes.

Turkish Towels.
Turkey exports more towels than
any other country which is largely
because the average Turk has no use
for a towel himself. When the first
Turk made a towel he couldn't mag
inc what to do with it SO he sold it
to tourist and in this way the Turk
ish towel industry arose A Turk
has no patience with a towel. AS
soon as he makes one he wants to
have it out of his sight. He doesn't
mind Turkish rugs and he will even
smoke a Turkish cigaret but a Turk
ish towel gets him going. The lead
ing feature of a Turkish towel is
that you can dry yourself on both
sides which makes it of special value.
Operating a Turkish towel is quite a
knack and most people develop their
own styles of play. A man can get
more vigorous exercise after a morn
ing bath in drying his back with a
Turkish towel than. in hustling
trunks. The only objection to Turk
ish towels as an exercise is that it
doesn't get you out in the open air

COLLEGE SWIMMING
BECOMING POPULAR
Fifteen Per Cent Of Institutions
Now Have Own Pools, Is
Estimate.

A recent census Of the universities
colleges, and schools supporting
swimming teams and pools shows that
about IS per cent Of the larger In
stitutions possess permanent nata-
toriums. These pools vary in size
from a few hundred to close to 5000
square feet The list shows that every
section OF the country is represented
and that there are more than 100
pools Of standsrd size In addition to
those in the Y. N. c. A and athletic
club houses OF the larger cities.
So far as figures are available, the
record indicates that Stanford uni
versity OF California and the United
States Naval and Military Academies
have the largest pools The Stanford
tank is 100 by 44o feet; the Navy, so
by 90, and the Army, so by 40. While
there is no standard length or width
for such pools, the average length is
about three timea the width.
A peculiar angle Of the investiga-
tion was the development OF the fact
that >many Of the institutions with
large pools have no special swimming
or life-saving requirements, the stu
dent use Of the pool being purely
voluntary and entirely outside of the
class or physical culture curriculum.
