Fleet of the U. S. Navy, seven of whom
have been here the last few days, hav-
ing come up from Solomon's Island,
will homeward fly in their respective
airships some time this afternoon or

from Solomons Island they were un-
able to do any experimenting on &C

fly low, and often TO take to the water.
One made a narrow escape from a

REGISTRY BUREAU
FOR SECURING HELP
Vice President Rippere Estab-
fishes One At St. Johns Col
lege To Aid Merchants
PART TIME EMPLOYMENT

An opportunity for the employment
for part time OF young men of high
ability is offered in a registry of en-
ployment which has been started by
Prof. John b. Rippere, acting presi-
dent of st. Johns College, and An
napolis employers are now given the
opportunity of hiring college students
who are desirous of obtaining work
for a few hours a day.
The need for such registry as
this has been felt for a considerable
time, not by the student body alone.
but by merchants and employers in
general in Annapolis. There have al
ways been many jobs in the city held
by the college students, but there has
been no definite arrangement by
which the employers might get in
touch with the students through the
recommendation of the members of
the faculty.
Prof. Rippere will entertain re-
quests from any prospective employer
and will in all cases recommend stu
dents whose ability seems to fit him
for the position sought.
Many of the college students have
had great amount of practical train
ing which raises them out of the class
of inexperienced help. Such men are
bound to prove valuable additions to
any working force There is also the
assurance that the college student is
of a superior quality mentally. and
the employer has. thereby, the rare
opportunity of obtaining really cap
able workmen.
A letter addressed to Prof. Rip
pere, or telephone call. will aid any
prospective employer in getting in
touch with college students who are
suited to his needs.
