The Poor Chap.

The Poor Chap.
When a woman sees that she has
son who is a natural magnet for
women. both tanned and untamed.
she ought to see that he is given
certain information before he starts
out in life.
Martha Dobbs neglected to do
this. She allowed Frank. her son,
to grow up without actually finding
out that IL he would dance, he must
pay the musicians.
Lately Frank has been driven into
n corner. Women were coming at
him from all directions for all pur-
poses.
One of them. Lucy King, evidently
intended pursuing him to the end.
and ashamed to ask for advice.
He had promised to marry Lucy,
1t seems. He also owed her $40.
Lucy wanted the $50 more than she
did the marriage certificate.
She charged Frank with the
larceny of the money. The boy got
possession of the money under sus-
picious circumstances.
However, the court failed to see
where he was really guilty of theft
He had been bewildered by the at
tentions of the women and they had
somehow dulled his conscience.
He promised to pay back the
money. He also promised to KEEP
away from the women and the court
suspended a thirty-day sentence.

The Blind Leads the Blind.

1t must be an interesting, though
not highly elevating sight to see
one drunk trying to help another
drunk get home.
Especially when both are pretty
well shot full of bootleg whisky just
poisonous enough. to make them fight
their grandmothers.
Policeman Steurman heard the
noise. The two drunks had started
an argument about who needed the
most help.
The cop grabbed Walter Yensey. one
of the pair Walter felt just mean
enough to hit the cop in the jaw
and run.
The other drunk sobered up enough
to disappear. He did have a little
sense left.
Walter was caught after a chase
He left his hat behind and was iden-
titled by it.
In court Walter swore that he didn't
hit the cop. He denied ever seeing
the cop before. which speaks wonders
for the quality of the booze he drank
However, Steurman identified hin
by his red hair. something which few
boys OF his color possess.
Judge Hardison fined him s35. The
military authorities asked for Walter
(he is from Camp Meade). and agreed
to court-martial him and the court
turned him over to them.

Merchant Marine schools,

The United States shipping board
writes to THE AMERICAN that an i'm
preston seems to have gained ground
that the free schools to train officers for
the merchant marine have ended their
sessions. This is not the fact. The
schools are still maintained, and there
is greater need for the officers they turn
out than during the war
1t is expected that not less than 1900
new ships will be commissioned in the
merchant marine this year, and it is the
task of the U. S. Shipping Board Re-
cruIting Service to provide them with
properly trained officers, as well as with
crews.
Men with sea-going or engineering and
mechanical experience are wanted by the
hundreds to attend the free officers
training schools OF the shipping board.
There are twenty-seyen of these schools,
With total attendance at present of
900 men. New classes are formed in
the engineering schools every four weeks,
and in the navigation schools every six
weeks, so that 800 new students are
wanted for the schools every six weeks
at the outside.
The schools in this section are f.:
Navigation, Rocklsnd and Portland,
engineering, Massachusetts, Institute OF
Technology.
