stenographers and typists. If Joe was an expert typist as civilian, likely as not he'll become 8 yeo- man in the service. The navy also makes use of hobby skills, and if Joe was an ardent radio ham" at home, he'll probably end up radioman at sea.
 All navy ships, except subma- rines and destroyers, have two top jobs for yeomen. One is ships writ CT or secretary to the executive officer. The other is captains writ- CT, or the boss secretary.
 To get one of these top jobs, per- haps as @ chief yeoman, Joe must be an expert typist and be able to take 200 words a minute shorthand. Tn addition he must know how to handle the myriad navy forms and do complicated filing.
 Clerking in civilian life is like- ly to lead to Joe's wearing the crossed keys insignia of store- keeper on his sleeve. Legihle hand- writing and typing skill are import ant for storekeepers. Joe must learn, If he wants to reach the top, how to requisition, store and issue supplies and how to plan and ration the amount and kind of food necessary for a given cruise.
 RADIOMEN ARE
 CAREFULLY TRAINED
 The navy's radiomen, like civil | ian amateurs (which many of them were before enlisting), have been the heroes of many a mis- hap. In an emergency. their ship mates lives may depend on their competence, and SO nothing is spared in their training.
 If Joe has the necessary apti- tudes and qualifications he may be sent to the radio school ct San Diego, Calf. After that he must show his stuff in practice. Before he'll be qualified for chief radio- m a ms rating and $l26-a-month pay he'll have to be able to op- crate receivers and transmitters, encode and decode messages, op- crate and adjust direction finders. antennae and all sound equipment on his ship.
 Then, before he can reach the top, he must go back to school the navy's radio material school. After that he'll be able to operate and maintain all types of naval radio, telegraph and telephone transmitters and receivers.

Chilean Historian Visits u. S.

Dr.. Amunotegui Solar
Tells of Hopes
For Specialists
BY MANUEL VEGA.

1t might be SAID that every week
some distinguished South American
writer or statesman comes to WASH
ington. The happy hour OF intel
lectual exchange between the Amer
icas is now in full swing.
At the Benedick Hotel, where he
is stopping during his stay in Wash
ington, we seized the opportunity
to interview DR.. Domingo Amuna-
tegui Solar, for years rector OF the
University of Chile. DR.. Amuna-
tegui Solar has been not only pro-
fessor of American and European
history for decades, but writer OF
many learned volumes on the po-
litical and social development OF
Chile. His bibligraphy comprises
nearly 40 titles. Possessing a dill
gence worthy of emulation, his for
titude and love of investigation in
the field of history has not been
slowed with times passage, even
though in 1910 he completed four
score years. The exact opposite
would be more in keeping with the
1dSlSs no llC was dOOoO W 4NoNS
Santiago, three weeks ago, DR..
Amuntegui Solar had the pleasure
of handing out the first copies OF
his "Remembrances of the National
Institute This is really the third
volume which the eminent historian
has published on the same theme.
In the preceding volumes-tWo thick
tomes-he described the first years
of the National Institute and its
development to about the middle
of the last century, under the gov
ernments of Montt, VaraS and
Prieto. Hence the three volumes
constitute the complete chronicle of
the National Institute, founded
August 10, 1918, in the very midst
of our struggle for independence.
Pictured First Natives.
Undoubtedly the historic studies
of Dr. Amunategui Solar, which have
awakened the greatest interest in
Chile and abroad, are those in which
he analyzes down to their very es-
sence the social and political condi-
tions of the first natives of Chile and
in which he paints the general pic
ture in detail of Chilean society
during the 18th century. They are
titled, respectively, Projections Set
Up for the First Natives in Chile"
and "Mayorazgos First-Born Sons
With the Right of Primogeniture)
and Titles of CASTLE" The two
works are frequently cited. COM
mented on and referred to by foreign
investigators interested in our his
tory. Mr.. MacBride, the North
American writer, in his complete
essay on Chile. makes copious use
of the historical works of DR..
Amunategui Solar. The Chilean his
torian is a conscientious and hard
working investigator, wrapped up in
his work. He thought it well to
abridge in a sort of compendium
these two voluminous works just
mentioned. The result is his recent
Social History of Chile" a pam
Drama in synthesis, acclaimed with
enthusiasm by Chilean critics after
careful review.
Just what do you hope to &C
comphsh on your trip?" Dr.. Amuna-
tegui Solar was asked.
That's very agreeable and prac-
tical question" was his immediate
answer.

These were the concluding words
Of the Chilean historian.
DR.. Amunategui Solar belongs to

political pedigree in Chile-a family
of writer's and statesmen, men who
have welded the pen and power as
well. He is an honor to the tradi-

listening perhaps to their guiding
voices. DR.. Domingo Amunategui
Solar has won intellectual pre-emi-
nence which diverse Chilean and
foreign institutes and academies
have widely recognized, taking him
to their breast as an active and
honorary member. OF kindly per-
sonal character, strong minded and
self disciplined, agile in spite of his
years, he attracts one by the extent
of his knowledge and the keenness
of his mind to remember them. He
has the mind of man who has
studied the past and has penetrated
carefully into it's secrets.

get acquainted with this marvellous
country. I'm also commissioned by
the University of Chile to study the
exchange of North American and
Chilean professors. Soon after my
arrival in New York, I had a talk
in this connection with Prof. Tame
baum of Columbia University. I
have hopes of working out with Prof.
Tannebaum some beneficial conclu-
sions, easy of realization. The Uni
versity of Chile is especially inter-
ested in having some specialists in
ethnology visit us. The university
is interested as well in the latest
discoveries in medicine, and in the
political and social development of
the United States. The best time
for these specialists to go to Chile
would be in the months of May, June
and August, when they could give
conferences and classes in the
Spanish language. This last con-

at this time. Later, when 1t comes
time to study the exchange of pro-
fessors, I'm relying on the help Of
Mr.. Trueblood of the State Depart
ment. He's sincere friend of
Chile. In conclusion, you might say

kindness of this immense Nation is

Are you of the so often heard
opinion that there is certain
mutual lack of understanding be-
tween the different countries of
America and the United States?"
ITO a'certain extent, yes. In some
sectors of certain South American
republics, sentiments. none too
friendly toward the United States
and for reasons well known, are ex-
perienced. There is no point in
bringing these up now. Fortunately,
in Chile, as well as in the Argentine,
Brazil and Peru, there is nothing
but the sincerest feeling of friend
ship toward the people of North
America. President Roosevelt's in

needed thing to do. Now it is urgent.
This great President, with a clean
cut vision of the problems, and of
the future, has found the road which
leads to continental solidarity. May
it be Gods wish that he persevere
in his noble undertaking! Moreover,
the energetic way in which he has
undertaken to aid the democracies
has awakened in my country wild
enthusiasm. The Americas must be
united!
