It has been custom, since college
and universities were first founded,
for a graduate, If he could find the
means, to spend at least a year In
foreign travel and contact with the
world at large before even deciding
upon how he should begin his career
IN life. This custom still holds largely
IN some countries where only the
privileged classes are given the chance
for college training, but In the United
States, with it's many thousands IF
college students, the great majority
have been denied such chance of
broadening their education.
With the upbuilding of the Arneri-
can merchant marine the shipping
board is now able to offer the college
graduate broad privileges for service

The college or high school graduates
are given special recognition in the

officers, and in a year after he has
entered this service, he can go up
for his mates papers and after that

the right stuff in him, until he be-
comes master of his own ship The
high regard in which the officers Of
the American merchant marine are
held, and their relative positions to
the men ashore, in business or pro-
fessona1 life, is shown by their rate
of pay. The pay is clear of all living
expenses aboard ship and is as fol-
lows:
Captain, $500 to 1915 per month;
first mate. $1S1.25 to s2o625 per
month: second mate, s162.50 to $751; so
per month; third mate. s145.75 to
$168.75 per month; fourth mate,
$143.75 to $3.50.
Fourth mates are carried only on
the largest ships. The pay of the
engineer officers is in proportion to
that of the deck officers and the en-
gineer force offers an excellent OPP
portunity for the graduates of tech
nicaI schools.
There are many reason why college
and high school graduates should
seek sea careers at this time. Thous-
ands Of them, anxious to serve their
country in the war and see the big
show, were urged as a patriotic duty

richly deserve them. Others should

MOTORISTS ADVISED
TO CARRY LOT OLD
PAPERS ON ROAD

A resourcefuI motorist whose car
has been stuck in the mud does not
always have to fall back on a pair of
mules to get free. For such an emer-
gency the United States Tire COM
pany offers some suggestions that
have proved valuable.
The first calls for having stored
away somewhere in the car q stack
of old newspapers. When the car
gets stuck and the wheels refuse to
take hold, feed in some of the old
papers between the tires and the mud.
Usually only few will have to be
worked in before the wheels begin to
grip and the car start forward. This
method of handling a difficult situa-
ton is so simple and SO uniformly sue
cessfu1, that every motorist should
know Of it and carry a pile OF old
newspapers, unless he is equipped with
some other apparatus for such con-
tingency.
Here is the other method suggested
by the United States Tire company:
Put the car in low, and If you cannot
feed the gas with your foot evenly,
so that the wheels will revolve slow
ly, put your emergency brake an. Do
not put 1t on SO that the Wheels will
not revolve at all, but tightly eaough
to keep them from revolving rapidly.
With the wheels turning slowly the
maximum pull is delivered to them
by having the car In low gear, and
so long as they turn slowly they can
get the benefit of the tremendous
power.
It Is not always wise to fill the hole
with stones or bricks, for their rough
edges are hard on tires. Small
branches of trees are better, as they
offer much better tractive space.
Should this fall quite often slight
push that would not much more than
move a baby buggy viii furnish just
the added amount Of power necessary
to get the car going.

the adventure it offered and who Will
stick to the sea and become the future
officers Of the great fleets of mer-
chant ships which are to float our
flag on every sea and in every port
OF the world. There is room for all
on the sea.
There is but one real condition to
service for college graduates, and that
is that men trained by the u. S. ship
| ping board must agree to serve in the
merchant marine for one year from
date Of their acceptance for training.
] They will be shipped to a different
( port on each voyage, so far as posi-
BILE, in order that they may become
acquainted with the different ports of
the world. The other conditions for
entering the service is that the apph-
cant must be an American citizen.

On enlistment the recruit is given
the apprentice rating and pay at the
rate of $50 a month. Uniform equip

All young men who enter the mer-
chant marine through the recruiting
service will find an open road to adj
vancement, but graduates of colleges
and high schools, after only one year
of actual service at sea, may apply
and stand examination for an officers
license. The young college graduate
who enters the service now should
find himself a master of one Of the
great ships of our fleet while still a
very young man and with an unlimit-
ed field for further achievements
either on his own initiative as master
and owner, or as an officer of some
shipping corporation.

There is chance that Cecil Causey
will refuse to report to the Braves.

Yankee Hands
May Strike
Ban Holds Out
Players Discuss a Demon.
stration Against Ruling i'm
the Carl Mays Case

The national unrest has come into
the national pastime with a vengeance.
The players on the Yankee baseball
team are preparing to go out on .
strike Tuesday unless Carl Mays, who
/ was arbitrarily suspended by Ban
Johnson, is reinstated before then.
Word was received yesterday By Coll
onel Rupert, president of the New
York American League Baseball Club,
that johnson would be in New York to-
morrow to hold hearing on the Mays
case. The message, however, bore no
intimation that the "czar" of organized
baseball had changed his attitude
toward Mays.
So the worst may come. The highly.
paid athletes on the Yankee team may
toss aside their bats and gloves and
walk right out of the lot Tuesday.
Should this happen there will be no
New York American League team until
the strike is declared of. The harrassed
owners hardly feel like trying for =
pennant with a mob OF strike breakers.
The Yankee players are not dlssatis-
fed with the wages handed out by tho
two colonies. Their only grievance is
the Mays matter. They figure that with
Mays in the box for the Yanks the team
would get right back into the pennant
race, with a chance to take a share Of
the worlds series money.
The owners have not been notified
of the movement for a strike. Tho
players have been talking this over in
the clubhouse, and they are ready to
hit the trail unless Ban johnson gives
Mays a fair hearing. The players point
to various cases that called for discip-
line where the Gear" has remained
silent. The belief Of the players is
that the indefinite suspension was pur-
posely made to bump the Yanks out OF
the pennant race.
Colonel Rupert announced that the
owners Of the Yankees would lay their
case before the president of the league
on Monday. 81 feel that the ruling is
very unjust" declared Colonel Rup-
pert. Il believe that Mr. Johnson must
have acted under some misapprehen-
sion of the case. I am quite sure that
he will recognize the justice of our
claims after he has heard all of the
facts.
~ would prefer not to discuss the
thing now, for am quite sure that 1t
will be adjusted Monday. But you
may be sure that we will demand our
rights. l am sure that we have not
been dealt with fairly in the Mays
matter. We owe it to the fans who
are giving the team such splendid sup
port to battle for everything that will
strengthen the team and justify tho
faith of the fans"
In the meantime the Gear of Base
ball seems to have discovered that
silence is more than golden-platinull
in fact. Since the outburst in which
he suspended Mays Believing Ban has
not even uttered a whisper.
The time and place of the hearing
has not been announced. 1t is UNDER
stood that the president of the Amer
lean League would like as little osten-
tation as possible at the reimbursement
proceedings.

Pennant Possibilities

Picking pennant winners at this palpitating stage
of the big league is highly improbable. But if
one forced to pick at the point of the bayonet
the best would be the Giants and the White Sox
not much because of the fact that they have been
leading but because they to have the essentials
to hold on.
In the National League Patrick Moran is annoying
the Giants considerably, and probably will continue to
annoy them. At the start of the season Moran did
not seem to have anything much, but at the present
writing one John J. McGraw will admit under oath
that he has something decidedly resembling baseball
team Patrick has demonstrated that there is consider
able in the managing of baseball team. 1t will be
recalled that Moran won pennant with one
pitcher and not much else in the line of baseball players
While considering the National League one must not
forget that Chicago has team in this league also
The acquisition of Davy Robertson ought to help
the Cubs little if Davy will concentrate base
ball. But every once in while Robertson figures that
life will not be worth living unless he tack the
title NJ d. after his name, and David begins to yearn
for session in medical college, forgetting for the
time that he is drawing salary for participation in
the national pastime

erably since then, and nearly all the changes have

who recall the days when the grdron heroes used to

League yesterday. He enjoyed one
of the best and most luscious feasts
that he has partaken of in years.
The total number of runs scored
in the games played in the John
sonian circuit. was 81. Hits, how
ever. were far more promiscuous
than runs. The great Tyrus, play
ing against the Yankees, made four
hits in as many times at bat. Ty
has duplicated this stunt fifty
times in his career.
Roger Peckinpaugh also waved
the wand with considerable force.

another went for a double and
