The very first sentence of the As

POOR SAILORS

NEW YORK, March 10 G.N.S0
The nonchalant college senior
and the very collegiate sopho-
more are not wanted along New
York's waterfront. Neither are
the SOLDERING junior nor the green
freshman.
In short, when chief mates are
selecting crews to sail the seas
they are not looking for the homo

Service Bureau. DAILY declares the
college boy is tourist" to them,
and nothing more. He does not
make a good salt.
Many of the collegians are will
ing enough, says DAILY, but they
just do not know how to do the
work. He points out that it takes
years to make a good sailor.
The willing lads are far out
numbered, however, by those who
want to soldier" or stall. They
want the regulars to do all the
work, while they pursue their
main object-to get experience"

Mr.. Raven has reached New

Mr.. Raven said:
"The studies will be under

and elsewhere.
aside from the anatomical
material collected, detailed rec
Ords were made of the foot

of DIR. Dudley ]. Morton, of

Studies also were made of
the habits of the gOrillas and

they eat, where they find it,
the sounds they make, their
beds both in trees and on the
ground and everything else that
it was possible to learn about
them"
