OLD SEA CAPTAINS
ACTING AS MATES
IN MARINE SLUMP
Employment Among Seamen Is
Producing Some Rather
Startling Results

New York, Nov 5.-FOur captains
on one ship. each of them qualified by
experience and license to navigate
unlimited tonnage in any waters, but
three of them serving as mates, is not
an uncommon occurance now, due to
the low tide OF world ocean COM
merce.
On ship which recently sailed
from New York for round trip voy-
age to the West Indies, the master
thereof had under him as mates two
man under whom he had formerly
worked when conditions were re-
versed. His third mate, during the
war, commanded an American ship
which made numerous trips through
the war zone carrying supplies for
the American army i'll France.
1t is to the lasting credit of these
American masters, ship owners say,
that they accept reduced rank cheer
fully and in their service they render
a very high degree of allegiance and
obedience to the officers temporarily
above them. This applies not only to
their periods Of actual duty but to the
traditional sea discipline when off
watch.
The. laying up of one ship after
another until practically one-ha.f of
Americas postwar fleet of commerce
carriers has been relegated to a quiet
anchorage awaiting return of nor
malcy in world commerce, has put
thousands of good American seamen
''On the beach as they term it. Of
fcers suffer with the firemen and the
sailors in the enforced idleness. Club
rooms of association of officers are
always we'll filed now by licensed
men awaiting possible opening on
some ship. When a call for an Of
hcer comes in, it is rendered to the
man understood to be most in need of
the work, and by him it is cheerfully
accepted regardless of the rank it
carries.
The records show that but compar
atively few arc in actual financial dis
tress through enforced idleness. A
man who has reached the bridge
long years of hard work has
generally learned to be thrifty and in
the good years to lay aside something
Tor the lean ones.
Hundreds of American captains are
now scattered all over the New Eng
land and eastern states doing period
ii shore duty on farms which they
purchased as a safe harbor in which
to weather the stormy seas of old age.
Generous to the last degree. these
men keep track and aid their less for
tunate associates.

forces and stewards to the number of

to depend on their unions and semi
charitable institutions for keep.

SON OF MORCAN'S
PARTNER HANKERS
FOR PUBLIC JOB
Frederick Trubee Dawson Launch
es Self On Political
Career

Locust Valley, n. Y, Nov Fred
erick Trubee Dawson, son OF Henry
+. Dawson, Morgan partner, prefers
votes to dollars.
He is gong to follow his preference
by entering the political arena in
stead OF the banking fraternity oil
Wall street. His first step comes
Nov. s, when he hopes to be elected
member of the assembly from the sec
ond district of Nassau county and
take the seat formerly occupied by
Theodore Roosevelt, now assistant
secretary of the navy.
Dawson hopes this election, if it
comes out his way, will prove the
politics.
Il have always wanter to go into
politics" said Dawson in outlining
his ambitions. Back in 1914. when
entered Yale, l began to pick out
subjects I knew would be good train
ing for me. When took up the study
OF law at Columbia, l had no inten-
ton of practicing, but wanted to OBJ
tain "a groundwork for an experience
in politics.
By way of a starter, he went to the
Republican National Convention as
secretary to Herbert Parsons and
later to Charles d. Hilles. Now he
is getting acquainted with district
leaders and asserts that, if he is
elected to the assembly, he hopes IL
stay there for several terms, ito get
right close to the people. He dis
Gains any desire for senatorial
toga.
According to tradition, the senior
MIN Devison should violently appose
his sons political ambitions and seek
to chase him along the trail of the
elusive dollar. But he is doing moth
ing OF the kind, and is sympathetlca.ly .ly
.to4iowing his sons candidacy.

bortsrs is his wife, who was Miss
D1hcthy Peabody. daughter of the
Rev Endicott Peabody, headmaster OF

Washington Authorities Adopt Hi;
Method of Computing Zone

Clermont, Nov. 5.---H. E. Hooks, re-
firing postmaster here, has developed
2 method of computing the postage on

nine brief rules by which postage Is
determined. They are given by Mr.
Hooks as follows:
To find amount of charges to points
in: #p,t
Zone Add 4 to the weight of the
parcel in pounds. omitting the frac-
tion of pounds. except when the frac'
ton is in excess OF one-half pound
when take the next highest weight
Zone 2-Same rule as Zone l.
Zone 3-Multiply weight of parcel
by two and add four.
Zone 4-Multiply weight of parce
by four and add five.
Zine 5-Multiply weight of parce
by six and add two. Hi'
Zone 6-Muitiply weight of parce
by eight and add one. '1'ss
Zone Multiply weight of parce
by ten and add one. lth'
Zone S.-Multiply weight of parcc
by twelve.
