Washington Was Wise

There is something of poetic justice in the facs
that one Of the first of the old suices to be re-"
habtated was the Chesapeake ana Ohio, the
building of which was pushed by General George
Washington, who was the first president OF the
construction company which called 1t into being.
The Father of His Country was so convinced that
the future prosperity Of the nation had much to
do with water transportation by canal that he
obtained q leave Of absence while he was still
commander Of the Revolutionary army that he
might start the survey for the waterway with
which he hoped to connect the waters OF the
Chesapeake bay with the unsalted Ohio. The
project was never realized, even in part until
long after his DEATH but to this day the canal Is
n carrier of trade between Cumberland, Nd, and
Georgetown, in the District Of Columbia. 1t de-
rves it's water partly from the Potomac, and If
deepened would. be of much Importance to the
national capital. 1t has for years been under
railroad control. The government has now placed
additional boats upon 1t and the lock crews are
working night and day. The channel Is becom-
ing as busy as 1t was in Civil war days, when
800 boats ten times the number which 1t had
when the federal authorities took charge, were
in constant operation-Walter Harrington in the

An able seaman today gets $75 month and his

His future is assured if he sticks-and the ship

that not less than 100000 officers and men will be
wanted to man the merchant marine after the war,

technical schools, in navigation and engineering,
where experienced men receive free Instruction
fitting them for officers licenses.
From June, 1917. when these schools were start

were admitted to them. Every student was an

Graduates Of these schools are on the bridges Of

more than 1900 students.

plants, mounted on two auto trucks.
ACCOMMODATING them on ordinary
trucks, which will be temporarily as
signed as needed. are to be a light
frame operating room. tentage and
material sufficient to establish a hos
