At the dance in the evening the
Bio hall was crowded with many
happy couples who did not give up
the sport until the small hours OF
the morning.
On the whole the Fourth of July
just passed in Ely was an observance
rather than a celebration. The day
was unusually quiet and the crowd
scattered and small as compared with
past like events. 1t was a safe and
sane Fourth. The weather was Ideal

and other Pacific coast ports. The
training period lasts six weeks. The
recruits are paid at the rate of $50
a month while being instructed In
the duties of seamanship.
At the expiration of six weeks the
embryonic sailors are graduated With
the rank of ordinary seamen. They
will then receive the prevailing high
wages offered by the government.
The need for seamen, firemen and
stewards Is acute. Ii is the hope OF
the recruiting service of the ship
ping board that the required 500
men come forward within the next
ten days. The minimum age for ap-
plicants is 18 years and the maxi
mum age is 35 years.
The shipping board encourages
young men to work for promotion
said Avila. There is nothing
to prevent any young man who now
enters the service as a sailor from
attaining the rank of captain within
S years. Our sea students are given
an opportunity to win a second
mates rating within two years.
There is likewise excellent opportun-
ity for the men trained in the fire
room to become engineers at an
early date. Some marine engineers
earn as much as $500 a year"
Those who want to avail them
selves of the opportunity to become
seamen may do SO by applying at the
drug store in their community Off

tion or by writing to the Super

to escape the scourgings that are
being administered, like David
they must delight in "going up
