disturbing the patients
During the first fourteen months
Of U. S. Participation in the war this
hospital took care OF the health cs
tie crow of u Melyll q, more than
five hundred skilled artisans and me-
chanics and sailors as well as from
$500 to 1900 men on the destroyers
One Of the reasons why the Mel
Vile is especially popular among the
destroyer forces Is the fact that she
carries the payroll, handling the ac.
counts, of the thousands of officers
and men and paying out in excess of
$lb0,O0O each month in wages. All
bills Of destroyers are paid by the
Melville paymaster, who also han
dies the Liberty loans and insurance
affairs of the small fighting Graf.
Another department that make the
Melville the center cf q fleet Of small
boat, having the appearance Of bees
swarming, is the canteen, where the
sales average from $4,000 to $4,000
a month. The bake shop is a marvel
of perfection and confection. More
than 1900 pounds of bread are baked
daily in addition to delicious pies
and cakes. 1t also has capacity for
turning out 100 gallons of ice cream,
which it does twice a week. Mem
bers of the British royal family came
aboard the Melville frequently when
she was at Queenstown, for the pur-
pose Of sampling the ice cream and
apple pie

So spacious are the provision and
supply departments that meat, eggs,
potatoes and vegetables sufficient to
keep eighteen destroyers and the Mel.
vile for four months are carried.
This is in addition to carrying enough
oil in her hold to re4fuel the same
number of destroyers.
In the general naval stores depart.
ment can be found anything from a
needle to an anchor-in fact there
are six spare anchors as well as five
thousand other items that might be
required to keep eighteen destroyers
running six months.
Other Interesting departments are
the optical shop, where delicate IN.
struments of navigation are repaired
or adjusted, and the ordnance depart

TO GIVE SOLDIERS
THEIR OLD US. Jobs

The Civil Service Commission an
nounced yesterday that all civil seTy-
ice employees who gave up their POSI-
tions to enter the army or navy
would be reinstated upon being dis
charged.
Calling attention to an order issued
by President Wilson last July pro-
viding for such reinstatement at any
time within five years after discharge,
the commission said:
"In recognition of the services rem
dered by civil service employees who
entered the military or naval service
during the present war, the commits
sion will make special effort to assist
these men in securing suitable posi-
tions in the Government service
rather than to leave upon them the
entire burden OF finding suitable
vacancies"

FRIDAY STORENEWS OFLANSBURGHGBRO
Editorial

An enthusiastic merchant
wrote a letter to his former
office boy-who had just got
ten back from France-ask-
ing him to call and see about
his old position.
A few days later in walked
the young man in officers
uniform-two silver bars on
his shoulders.
Both employer and employe
were net a little confused.
It was so absurd to think of
asking a CAPTAIN to be-
come an office boy. But the
boy cleared the situation by
stating that he had no inten-
ton of going back into the
same work.
He had found himself on the
battle fields Of France, and
was going to make some
thing of himself.
There will be thousands of
boys back from the war who
will waEt something better
than they had.
We hope they get it.

Everything is set for the fastest
motorcycle races Wilmington has ever
seen Arrangements have been COM
pleted for the starters gun to fire its
first shot at o'clock on Labor Day
night, over the Elsmere track. Many
OF the local riders have their machines
up TO the top notch and expect TO make
a very good showing. As this is the
Flrst race on the new track some very
fast time should be made.
Among the local riders, who have
already sent in their entry blanks. is
Mathew Pope Neil, who holds the
professional championship Of Della
ware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Neil won this title in 1917 before going
into the service as flyer.
Another local rider and promoter Of
the races. is Billy Osmond IL is eX-
pected that this lads showing will be
improved owing 10 the fact that while
IN The service at Columbus, Ohio, he
rode in two big race meets and finished
in the lead against a number OF factory
stars.
Although nothing has been heard
from the Wil-Del Motorcycle Club it
is expected that a few entries will
come from them.
All the local agents are on their toes
and each one will try for a cleanup.
There are six fast events and each
one will be a thriller. The first Is a
three-mile novice race for those who
never rode the track This is expected
10 be good as each entry will have an
equal chance Events number two will
be a nve-mile free-for-all and in this
race the fast boys will have a chance
10 show what they have.
Events number three will be one
mile time trial. It will be the first
time for machines on the new track
and a good record Is expected 10 be set
for the two times around the oval.
Events number four is another five
mile free-for-all. Events number i've
will be the star event OF the evening.
u is a nve-mile side car race, and as
things stand at the present time it
will be some race. The final event is
another 1ve-mile free-for-all.
