How Captains Cabin Is Equipped

How Captains Cabin Is Equipped
The captains cabin on a large
naval vessel usually consists of an
outer room which is used as a COM
bination living room, dining room
and office. Off this room is cabin
or sleeping quarters. A private bath
leads from the cabin. The furniture
in the officers quarters of a modern
ship is made of metal, but various
finishes are given it to make it re-
semble wood. Plain rugs are pro-
vided and any bric-a-brac, pictures,
etc., that may be found in the quar-
tiers are furnished by the officer at
his own expense. Living quarters
usually have a large extension table
that may be used for entertaining.
There are six or eight chairs in
large cabins.

Flow "Death watch" Originated

The death watch" is another GUS
tom of which the origin is lost in
ancient history. Thus it is not known
whether it originated as a Christian
or pagan rite, says Pathfinder Mag
azine. It has been explained as
originating in a superstition that un-
less carefully watched evil spirits
would carry the body away. An
other explanation is that it is the
outgrowth of continuous chant car
ried on by priests or monks in re-
lays SO that the body would not be
left without prayer until time Of
interment. Be that as it may, the
custom is still widespread.

ELECTIONS AND REFLECTIONS

Washington, D. c., November, I'll

write about subjects in which there
is such universal interest as in cleo
tons without being accused of re-
fiecting personal partisan feeling.
Perhaps that doubt is cast upon the
conclusions of most Washington

often taken with a grain of salt"

local newspapers of the United
States from Washington since 1910.
Before then, was country editor"
in Wisconsin. l have built up the
leading weekly newspaper of the
nation and kept it going all these
years. I have kept the faith with
editors who believe in me. Those are
my credentials!
l believe that the elections are an
important victory for American bus
mess, the small kind common in your
community, and the large kind found
in great industrial centers. l don't
believe that President Roosevelt ever
intended that his efforts for the

by his star-eyed young brain-trusters
into plans to besmirch every sue

the Taft and Wilson administra-
lions, just as they ruined the Hoover
administration, and have started the
Roosevelt administration on the

How "Movie" Films Are Developed

How "Movie" Films Are Developed
The exposed film of moving pic
lures is developed in exactly the
same way as ordinary camera film,
except that it is wound on wooden
frame for convenience in handling,
and it remains on this frame as it
is dipped in one solution after an
other. It may then be wound on a
large, rotating, cylindrical frame
for drying. This is done with fans
in dust-proof room.

WIN Dog Is Index to Owner

Dogs kept as house pets become
almost four-footed replicas of their
masters, or mistresses. They reflect
even the smallest details in the
characters of the human beings with
whom they live. Unlike the human
beings who sometimes cover up
their true characters, the dog is al
ways the same: That is why he Is
such a sure index to the owner.

How to Test Concrete Dryness

A practical and simple way of de-
termining whether concrete floor is
dry enough to paint is to lay a
piece of linoleum three or four feet
square on the floor. If, after two
days no dampness shows under it,
it is dry enough to apply paint.

WHY Airnlanes Are Noisy

Airplane noise heard on the
ground varies with the wind. A
person to windward of plane in
strong breeze will scarcely hear
sound although the machine is fairly
close, while a person to leeward
will be annoyed by the loud roar
even though the plane may be half
mile distant.

A Higher National Income

The business improvement outlin-
ed in the October bulletin of the
Federal Reserve Board is good read
ing, as it says that one million per-
sons have been re-employed since
last Spring.
Many important factors indicating
a rising industrial situation are ex-
planned in the bulletin, the most i'm
portant item of which is a higher
national income. When the national
income goes UP it follows that
wages, industrial earnings and sales
of all kinds are increasing through
out the country.
So these official declarations are
not as dull as they are sometimes
said TO be. When there are benefits
on large scale you need to matne-
matically reduce them to different

Old-Age Pensions

Washington looks upon the old

be worked out to provide a form of

with enough money forthcoming
every month to see aged men and
women free from dependence end

Merit System In Name Only

The merit system is supposed to
have a very important place in pub
lie employment. The Civil Service is
evidently misnamed if it is supposed
to represent the merit system.
Federal and State Governments are
pretty noisy in announcing that they
keep people in positions of RESPONSE
bility because they have backgrounds
of efficient records. There are many
thousands in the merit system
employed in the departments in
Washington. They go on, year after
year, doing the work in small places
Very few ever get to the top.
A new administration comes along
and the politicians pass out exective
positions paying good salaries to
other politicians who have a party
record and"cut ice" in local elections
and in national and state campaigns.
They get the big jobs and the little
folks who have to do their best I'M
der the merit system" are ground
under their heels.
If this only happened in one ad-
ministration it wouldn't be so bad,
but there is turnover every four or
eight years, at which time the 'po-
litical fayorites get the rewards of
the spoils system. The lesser folks
who know their jobs stick along in
the merit system, and wait until re-
tirement, or the end of theii days,
for better jobs.
