SHIPMEN SOON BROKE.
DESPITE HIGH WAGES
Many Have Nothing Left by
Monday and Have to Ask
for Advances

Easy come. easy go, Is truly the case
with many shipworkers so far as their
wages are concerned. Apparently such
wages as they are now receiving are so
new to some of them it makes them
nervous.
Some OF the yards have had to make
special arrangements to tide the spend
thrifts over part of the week. officials
almost marvel at some of the boys who
step up Monday morning and confess
they are broke.
Some places have meal tickets that
take care of the inner man for the time
being. Some of these tickets are good
for only So worth of grub at the yard
cafeteria.
The demand for meal tickets Is al
times so great that the company calls
halt and the penniless have to rustic
to eat Occasionally a man here and
there asks for advance money, and they
are not always refused.
The reason must be good. The wal
savings stamps are life-savers to these
men. Everybody buys stamps SO thai
there Is always something laid by.

The patriotic specialties offered n ad-

as interesting as the photoplay itself

characteristic "news-weekly" type, a de-

AS there were no printed programs
the course of the whole prologue was
fruitful of surprises. The most stirring
feature was the playing by the band OF
Sousas "Semper F'idelis" march, with
bugle ornamentations.
The film play, in which marine officers
and men were revealed in some lively
battle scenes. is an adaptation of Mar
