FEEL sLIGHTED

In mentioning Che shipbuiIdcrs
 and shipfittcrs of the Island last week who might Doe affected by the shipyard strike we uniutontionally omitted Che names of several prom ncnt ones. We have since been ac- ,uscd of showing favoritism, SO we win try to make mp for it by saying a few words this week.
 Among the prominent ones over looked was William Miller who op- crates a barber shop here in the spare time he has when not work Ing on his cruiser which he calls .Thc Wiry Beard" because she is such tough proposition Mir. Miller worked on Che boat, which is of the opeu-faccd style. for several months last year. He changed engine beds and engines several times and called i'm au the gas boat experts and cab- met makers iu the surrounding coun- to help him solve Che problem Of how to make it go. He finally gave it up quite late in thc summer and went to canuory to work SO he could save money to properly equip his craft He left the boat here with fine engine bed in her and thc engines scattered around in diff fcrcut parts of town. He is back on thc job again this season and puts
 i'm most of his time in the Lawrence boathousc putting thc engines to- gethcr and taking them apart caulk- ing seams and painting He claims he can't strike this season, as he has too much time and money in- vested. SO he will keep on the job.
 Al Gurr and Harry Irvine have a boat i'm their new boathousc back of the News office which they are as usual working on. It is fine craft. About Che only thing that is the matter with it is that it needs a lot of betting These two men put i'm most of their spare time fond ling che engine. On account of Sgt Irvine having a severe attack of fIu, he lost a good many hours work on Che craft. SO it is impossible to predict whether or not they will have Che boat out by next Fourth Of July. so they are not taking any chances by striking at this time. Most of their work. anyway, is not SO much in thc shipbuilding line as i'm machmists' work. such as putting i'm lnoleoum packing around the base of the engine, cotton batting packing around the valves and other expert work along those lines.
 Summing up the gas-boat and shipbuilding business on the Island, some was heard to remark recently that it was "A great life if you don't weaken"

SEEING THINGS

Adolph Engstrom of the J. w. Martin Co.,. was one of the most cn- thusiastlc dancers Wednesday night at the Firemen's Bal lin Juneau. He is a Douglas fireman and as n representative of the department thought lt his duty to dance every dance until the ferry was ready to leave.
 The morning after. he tumbled out of bed and went Co his work in a kind Of a trance. He saw visions Of charming girls in party dresses floating before his eyes all the way down the street. They were still floating in front of him. tantallzing him and interfering with his work when he arrived at the store.
 He was standing in front of a looking glass in the store when one of the visions bcckoned to him and he made a grab for her 10 swing her ont on fox trot. and the next thing he knew he was wakoncd from his trance by Che tinltle of breaking glass and found that he had kicked a hole through a showcase.
 That woke him mp for the rest Of the day and he made mp his mind that in the future he would pinch himself good and hard each morn ing after having been to Juneau, to see 1T he was awake and to drive the thought of those charming Ju- ncau girls out of his mind.

take the next census. The work be-
gins on January End and will last about
two weeks in cities, and month or

canyassed. The average pay per enum-
orator at the census of 1910 was about
$40. At this coming census it will
probably be not less than 500.
"Actiye. intelligent and reliable men
and women, not less than Is years of
age. are needed for this task said
Director Rogers, land, in sense, this
ia call for volunteers. The impor
lance of a complete and reliable census.
esnecially in these critical times when
more than ever before perhaps we need
complete data regarding population,
conditions, tendencies and resources, can
hardly be overemphasized. The reor'
eanization of the social and economic
Structure and the readjustment of
international relations necessitated by
the War must be based on accurate
knowledge if we are to act wisely and
zeal Justly Will OH SAoSSSo SN
terests. 1t is hoped, therefore, that
public-spirited energetic peopl
throughout the country will volunteer
to act as census cnumerators even
though they may not care for the posi-,
tions so far as the pay is concerned.
should be SORRY to think, and l do not
believe, that all our patriotism was
used up the War and none left over fol
public service in times of peace.
Louis C. Carrico, Supervisor OF the
Census for the 4th District of Mary,
land, which includes the counties OF
Howard, Anne Arundel, Prince Geor'
ge's, Calvert, St. Mary's and Charles,

umerators for this district. Applica'
lions or requests for application forms

place for this test. So far as practl'
cable the place selected will be one
which is easily accessible.

$4,000 miles among the strange can
nibals of the South Seas, to make this
wonderful picture. Nearly all the
time the couple, who were accompa-
MED by no whites, were in peril of
their lives. BY trading schooner,
whale boats and native canoes, they
made their way among the Solomon
and New Hebrides Islands as far
north as the Leuneuwa Lagoon. They
pictured for you people who had never
before seen white man, people rang
ing from the most savage in the world,
the man-eaters, to the most pacific
people on earth, tribe that had never
made any sort of weapon. They take
you to an island that the natives built
for themselves out of shells and stone
and to a lagoon where live 7S2 who
believe that there is no world except
their little place; they take you to a
tribe where the custom of burying
alive the old is followed, and before
the camera these rites are actually
practiced They show you the native
customs, the fiat-footed dancing that
will stir the most stolid to laughter,
they thrill you with the perils of this
man and woman adventurers, they
register on your mind so that they
never will be forgotten.
In "Cannibals of the South Seas, y
you will see the strangest people on
earth. You will thrill with the ro-
nance and the peril of the nook of the
world made famous by Jack London

The War Camp Community Serv-
ice may soon find itself seeking new
home. Should the governor, who has
kindly given the use of the State ar
mory for the rooms adapted to pur-
poses of the War Camp Community
Service. find that the states needs re-
quire its armory. it will be necessary
for the w. S. G. S. to look about for
new quarters. The armory during the
war has filled all requirements, afford
ing the men of the service a rest
room, canteen, gymnasium, shower
baths, writing room and other COM
forts that were not available any
where else in Annapolis.
1t is possible that the w. c. c. S.
