EXAMINER WILL
GIVE NAVY AID
IN ENLISTMENTS

According to an announcement
made public in Washington, linn
tied number of additional men be-
tween the ages of II and so will
be given a chance. by enlistment
in the Navy or Naval Reserve, to
get to the top, with big pay. in
jobs which by their aptitude and
as result of examination they
show themselves fitted, from
among nearly so different trades
and vocations. These include such
callings as aviation machinist,
dental technician, photographer,
diesel engineer, radio technician,
electrician, welder, storekeeper
and baker. Enlisted men may al
SO qualify for commissions as offic-
ers.
Beginning this week, the Navy
plans for limited time to accept
new qualified men for training.
These men will be sent to one of
four Naval Training Stations and
may have chance to go to a
Navy Trade School even before as
signment to the fleet. During this
period they will be given regular
Navy pay and the Navy's free
schooling Is valued at hundreds of
dollars.
Never in the history of the
United States has there been great
er opportunity for loyal young
Americans to serve their country
and build their futures than right
now" said Secretary Knox.
In outlining the many advan-
tages offered by enlistment in the
United States Navy, Mr.. H. H.
Wrenn, said. at is possible for
bright young man to increase his
pay seven times during his first
enlistment and he can earn as
much as 1926 a month. This
monthly figure is actually worth
much more when it is remember
ed that the man has few living ex-
penses and Is provided with the
finest of medical and dental care.
"You have all your food and
lodging, and also your original out
fit of clothing provided by Uncle
Sam free" Mr. Wrenn continued.
TN addition there are free sports
and entertainment-even to the
latest Hollywood pictures. On top
OF this you get free travel and ad
venture in colorful places-a thing
few civilians can afford.
when you consider the size of
this country and the fact that the
Navy will select only $4,000 appli-
cants a month from many times
that number throughout the Unit
ed States, the quotation, Many
are called but few are chosen will
apply to local young men interest
ed.
Navy men are a 'hand-picked'
lot. Candidates must be men of
more than average intelligence and
ambition, of fine moral character
and must have the written recon-
mendation of at least two local
townspeople."
AS Navy Editor, Mr.. Wrenn has
Just received from Washington
supply OF free illustrated booklets
for all men interested and, in ad-
dition, will welcome inquiries from
young men who wish to look into
the new and greater opportunities
the Navy now offers for training
for future civilian careers as they
serve their country now in its
emergency.

Rail Net y
Near Total
For 1910

NEW YORK. May 27.-The
present volume Of railroad freight
traffic indicates that carriers as
a group in the first half of this
year will earn almost as much as
the Sl91 100000 net income re-
ported for the full year of 1910.
Earnings in the final half of the
year should easily exceed the esti-
mated total for the first six
months, because the latter half
generally is the period Of the
heaviest freight shipments.
But several factors are likely
TO increase railroad expenses in
the second half of the year.
Among these are demands of rail
labor for wage increases, higher
fuel costs-both coal and oil, ris-
ing costs of materials and sup
plies, and taxes. Despite higher
operating costs, however. il is esti-
mated that the roads will have the
largest net income this year in a
decade.
