familiarity with a special instrument,

During the week every man In the
class has his special practice In these
matters. In the second week the sub
jects are measurement of horsepower,
lining up of engines, piston valve set
ting and the condenser and air pump.
The third week the laboratory sub
jects are the salinometer, duplex pump,
water column and safety valve. while
in the last week there are exercises
with injectors, turbine-driven pumps,
and ON afternoon spent in large sta
fionary power house.
Special Courses for Special Work.
This Is the course at Massachusetts
"Tech." 1t may vary at other schools,
but the underlying principles OF In
struction are the same. In the school
at Philadelphia, the largest In attend
ance. now holding its sessions In the
Bourse building with class well over
hundred, special attention Is given
to refrigerating machinery.
It's part Of the plan of the board to
train men in knowledge of every
kind Of special equipment carried In
the mechanical outfit Of modern ship.
Turbine ships, for example, must
have specially trained engineers. The
latest development In these wonder
machines for driving ships are In the
geared turbine, a complicated and high
ly delicate piece Of mechanism.
To provide a proper proportion OF
turbine engineers to meet coming de-
mands the shipping board has sent
picked men to the works where most
of its turbines are made, with instruc-
lions that the men "grow up with their
engines" An engineer so instructed Is
supposed to watch his engine grow
from the castings to Its final assem-
bling In the shop, and then follow 1t
aboard ship, superintend Its erection
there and run 1t when finally the ship
Is ready for service.
The same idea of special instruction
is applied in the case OF watertube
boilers, the engineers who are to han
die them being given n special course
In the works where the boilers are
made.
One of the most recent Developments
in the driving machinery of ships be
ing the so-called Diesel type Of crude
oil engine, the shipping board Is now
planning to instruct Diesel engineers
I'm addition to those trained to handle
the ordinary types Of engine.
In order to reach the men 1t wishes
for training, the shipping board re-
cruiting service employs officials In
various parts of the country known as
section Chiefs" who supply informa-
ton to a constantly growing number
of applicants. Much of this is contained
In a pamphlet entitled "How to Be
come an officer in the Merchant Ma
rine." National headquarters of the
recruiting service is at the custom
house, Boston.

velOped since the war began. This
system Is entirely novel and distinctly
American. Under 1t no outside talent
has been required to provide instruc-
tors and no student not citizen has
been given instruction.
When the war began the board pro-
ceeded on the theory that there was
plenty of material in the country for
an adequate supply Of marine engln-

eral thousand men in the engine rooms
and firerOoms of existing merchant
ships-ollers, water tenders and fire.
men-who could be made into engin-
GERS by little encouragement and in
struction. 1t estimated also that there
were many hundreds Of marine en-
gineers following other pursuits ashore
when the war began, who could be in
terested by the government in propo-
sition to return to the sea.
Finally 1t estimated that there we're
thousands of stationary engineers, 10
connective drivers and machinists who
had worked on marine engine construc-
ton or repairs ashore who could be
quickly trained to become marine en-
gineers. These men were known to
have the groundwork Of knowledge
necessary for handling marine en-
gines. 1t remained merely question
of teaching them the things they should
know about saltwater practice In en-
cheering and to give them their "sea-
legs" before starting them off on voy-
ages in the new merchant feet.
"coIIeae Stuff" Makes Its Bow.
OF the many revolutionary training
practices growing out Of this war. none
was more striking than the shipping
boards plan for giving these men tech
meal drilling. The plan originated In
Boston with Henry Howard, the
boards director of recruiting. Mr..
Howard, is graduate of the Massa-
chusetts Institute Of Technology and
firm believer in the value of technical
training to every kind of mechanical
worker.
His idea was to give the men needed
as marine engineers short, intensive
course of training at the best techni-
cal colleges before sending them to
sea.
The idea was so novel that the
grimy-handed mechanic was little
inclined to shy at 1t. college STUFF
seemed too "hifalutin' to be worth
much. The old-fashioned engineer got
his knowledge In the same way as the
boys In the Dotheboys hall, by manual
demonstration. He was Showed" by
his superior, on the Job. That had be-
come the accepted way of training en-
gineers on American ships.
But the new method had not long
made its bow before mechanics seem
ed to see something In It. The firemen
and oilers took to IT. and they came
out with second or third assistant en-
gineer's licenses in such surprisingly
short time that the method Of their
advancement commanded respect.

FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop ou,
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy Is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it..
A prominent druggist says, take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, q
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that / know Of
has 80 large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' ,Swamp.Root is due to the fact
that so many people claim, 1t fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur.
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address

such subjects as the action of salt wa

coal used on ships, the relation Of coal
