STATE OFFERS LINDEN BOYS
CHANCE TO BECOME OFFICERS

The State of Washington is offer.
ing Lynden boys one of the best
educational opportunities to be found
anywhere. according to Grover 9.
Gaier, secretary Of the Washington
Nautical School. At this institution,
cadets will be trained in two years
to become deck officers and marine
engineers aboard American vessels.
These positions pay salaries Of not
less than $3.50 a month with all
board. room, and laundry supplied
free.
1t costs the cadets only $155 to
spend two years at this school. They
are furnished with all uniforms, clo-
thing, lodging, meals and textbooks.
This is made possible through APP
preparations made by the state leg
islature and federal government.
The school opened January ~,
but supplementary entrance exami-
nations will be held January 10 for
boys who wish to take the course.
Applications must be in the hands
of Secretary Gaier by January II at
the school, aboard the former Gun
boat Vicksburg at the University of
Washington.
In the summer the cadets will be
taken on practice cruises on the
Vicksburg to the Orient. Hawaiian
Islands, and Alaska. In this way
they will receive actual experience
in handling a vessel at sea. The
school is in charge of Commander E.
F. Eckhardt, a former United States
Naval officer.
Entrance examinations will be CIV
Ell in arithmetic, spelling, geography,
grammar, United States history and
elementary algebra. Boys between
IT and 81 years of age are eligible
to enter the school.

en- checks on which are recorded
numbers corresponding with the
names Of students kept on files. The
student is held responsible for all
tools borrowed on his checks and
cannot loan them to other students.
He must sign a pledge or agreement
to pay the market price fof all tools
which he loses or breaks, and to pay
a specified amount for all checks he
loses. This plan will prevent the
mysterious disappearance Of tools
from the shop racks, it is hoped.
Each manual training student
must also deposit an amount Of mon

and will use. When he needs lum-
Der the tool clerk inspects his &C
count on the books. and If he finds
that the price is there. gives him the
necessary boards, estimates the board

will all be paid for first. and II left
in the shop will not represent a loss
to the department. as in the past.
Landau declares that at least 800
will be saved by this plan. 1t has
been tried in other schools with
marked success.

Flying Above the Clouds.

Edward. p. Warner in the Ohio State
Journal: The full majesty Of the aer-
ial perspective can only be realized

earth is shut off from views In tlyins

Of cumulous clouds~lie at 5000 feet, 1t
is possible to experience: within min
ute or two every degree of fog and sun
shine. When one is passing into the
clouds, the lower surfaces of which are
almost perfectly fiat, there is an iii
Simultaneous transition from shadow to
complete atmospheric opacity, similar
in appearance to 4 dense fog at the
ground, but differing somewhat from it
in feeling, for the interior of q cloud
seems to be drier. the air less saturated
with water vapor, than the fogs which
are met with at sea or ashore. Ii The
climb is continued few hundred feet
farther, the airplane passes again into
clear air now of a clarity and bright
ness worthy of Mediterranean skies and
not at all to be compared with the sky

Tho Bundy Engine.

Theo. Wright, of Belmond, saw the
Bundy engine at the state fair, and the
Belmond Herald-Press says:
1t is in effect an apparatus which re-
solves, by means of chemicals, the diff
ferent elements in the atmosphere and
uses the freed oxygen as fuel in tie ell
CINE. The inventor drove loaded
truck from Webster City to Des Moines
and the total cost for fuel for the trip
was cents. The invention can also
b attached to stoves and used to sup
ply fuel for heating. After listening to
Mr.. Wright's interesting and graphic
description of what the new invention
does one is forced to the conclusion that
either it is a magnificent hoax or that
the days Of the millennium are approach
ing fast. With an investment Of $40
you can operate your car independent
of Rockefeller and the other Oil barons
and If that doesn't sound like heaven
nothing does.

Harding the Better Fan.

Richard Barry in Leslies: ! asked
several prominent men in Dayton why
Cox had no other financial interests in
the city. .s.'sHe. goes. into onothing-stha
he can't control, or get big money
winning out Of was the answer.
The history of the Dayton and Mar
ion ball clubs is interesting. In for
mer years each had club in minor
league. AS is often the case neither
ever made any money, but both were
superiority the prominent citizens of
the respective localities out Of city
pride and to stimulate the community
spirit. Cox never contributed to the
support of the Dayton club, although
personally an enthusiastic baseball fan,
often travelling to Cincinnati, two hours
away, to see big league game.
On the other hand, Harding was al
ways a contributor to the support of
the Marion club, as he told me him
self. although l found that very few
people. least of all the so-called sports
in Marion. knew this. 1T is good for
city to root for baseball team of
its own" was Harding's explanation
of this backing; 80, to keep one in
Marion Il few of us always footed the
deficit at the end of the season.
