Washington Was Wise

There is something of poetic justice in the fact
that one of the first of the old suices to be re-
habilitated was the Chesapeake and OHIO, the
building of which was pushed by General George
Washington. who the first president or 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 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 unsnted Ohio. The
project was never realized even In part. until
long after his DEATH but to this day the canal Is

An able seaman today gets $50 month and his
board. During wartime he receives n bonus of 5O
per cent on his wages voyages into the wnr-zone
waters of Europe. His life Is insured without
cost to him to the extent of twice his yearly earn
ings
His future is assured If he sticks-and the ship
ping board believes he will stick. 1t is estimated
that not less than 100000 officers and men will be
wanted to man the merchant marine after the war;
and 1t Is expected that every man accepted will be
an American citizen.
The shipping board is training officers rs well as
crews for the merchant marine. 1t has 81
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
ed to September 1915 more than 10000 students
were admitted to them. Every student was an
American citizen, fitted to enter by two years ut
sea- or, in the case of engineers, equivalent tech
meal experience.
Graduates of these schools are on the bridges of
American merchant ships today in all of the seven
seas and the present classes of the school contain
more than 1000 students.

OF creating n merchant marine IN pro-
portion to the country's commercial importance
came up, the question was raised: How are we
going to get men for American ships?"
Young Americans had got out of the way of sea
going. The country did not think in terms of
ships Foreign seamen chiefly manned what YES
sells we had. Our shipyards could not compete
with foreign yards
The war has changed all that. The change has
been little short of magical The United States of
America leads the world in shpbuilding. 1t
will soon lead the world with its seagoing citizens.
Thousands of young Americans are turning to the
every month The old era of the square-rig
gers, to which friends of the American merchant
marine fondly refer, is rapidly being dwarfed by
what is taking place in our merchant marine today
AS an example of the extraordinary change going
in the matter of crews, may be cited phe-
nomenal jump in September recruiting for the
merchant marine reported by the United States
shipping board from Washington in the following
bulletin:
An increase OF 4sl per in month"; in the
number of recruits for the merchant marine signed
the United States shipping board. reported
by the board. The figures covering four weeks end
August %, 9l3 men; August 29 1,779; September s.
1857. September 12 4,4S4 The figures for the latter
week exceed by ASA men the number the board had
announced a expected maximum the month
of September. The men accepted for training
as sailors hremen coal passers cooks and stew
ards, and will put aboard training ships at Bos-
ton New York. Norfolk. New Orleans. San Fran
cisco. Seattle and Cleveland
Every little while one hears somebody ask
'What is this merchant marine we hear much
about"
Nobody need feel ashamed If he does not readily
visualize this ne.y commercial maritime force of
the country The nation for many wears mast has
beep building nm such an admirable navy that

WHAT SOLDIER BOYS EAT
Meat serysd Twice Daily With Good
Supply of Other Substantial
Food-crave Dainties.

The old idea that army diet should
consist largely of beans, bareback and
coffee, Ia no longer approved. In the
present training camps meat, prefera-
bly, beef, is served twice day, with
white bread baked in the general camp
bakery and kept "a hours before serv-
Ing Where green vegetables can be
obtained they are used, otherwise
canned goods are substituted. Coffee
is served at breakfast and buttermilk,
lemonade, tea, cocoa or water at other
meals. Meals, which In the vernacu.
lar are "mess" or "chow," are served
cafeteria style. Every soldier Is fur
nished with an outfit which consists
of meat pan, knife, fork and spoon,
and long handled cup. The cover of
the meat pan serves as a plate, and
the outfit is so arranged that each man
may do his own cooking in case of an
emergency.
Each man takes his meat pan and
passes before table where he Is serv-
ed with the various dishes prepared.
He then goes to a table, or If there Is
none, drops down on the ground, and
eats in absolute contentment. Don't
feel too sorry for the boys, even If they
do write longingly home wishing for
mothers cookies or James fried chick
en-, Belle Case Harrington writes IN
Leslies. Men in outdoor training have
good appetites, and they are far better
off physically than If fed on the salads
and ices and sodas they probably
would have at home. What they miss
most is sweets. If you are sending
things from home put in cookies, can
dies and jams or jellies. Milk choco-
late is one of the things soldier seems
to crave, and jar of matted milk
win come handy If he Is not feeling
well. Be sure not to send food that is
too rich. The boys are on plain diet,
with extremes of climate, and some
times doubtful water supply-and boys
never do have sense when 1t comes to
eating!

HELPMEETs ARE NEEDED YET
Testimony of suffraglst Plainly Shows
That Mere Man Cannot Do
Without Them.

There is no use denying it, mister
man cannot exist without helpmeet,
New York correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Dispatch writes. The wom-
en- themselves admit this much, but
they deny emphatically that they are
dependent upon the sterner sex. No,
indeed. 1t was over at the votes for
women headquarters recently that the
well-known and oft accepted theory
of the dependency of women upon
mere man was attacked
Someone had volunteered the fear
that women will always be regarded
as weak and dependent as long as It
is necessary for friend wife to call
upon hubby to button up her waist in
the back or see If the hooks are all
tight or If her hat is on straight, and
If her hair Is all over her head. The
very fact that man is at all times able
TO care for his sartorial self alone was
cited as an example of the varying in
dependence Of the two. ''But that isn't
always So" replied one of the state
campaigners. "My husband went away
on campaign trip this summer for
two weeks and every single night he
had to wire me to ask where he would
be likely TO find his pajamas."
