with the winches which seemed end
less. Finally we, too, lowered away.
I saw the captain. the first officer
and the fourth officer in the boat.
What a lucky boat" I thought.
Having these people in this boat
means lot
I shall always be able to picture
the occupants of the boat. I was
near the back of the lifeboat. On the
same seat with me were my two
cabinmates. Ahead of me were the
house mother and another nurse.
The captain was in the front of the
boat with the fourth officer. The
first officer, the radiomen. one
marine and one English citizen were
behind me. Between the house
mother and the captain were the
rest of the occupants. crew engineers
and two marines. One of our late
arrivals had been one of the engi-
neers without life jacket.
Ship Lists More and More.
II was so good to get down at last.
The ropes we're cut and we set away.
The ship was listing to Our side more
and more. I.could see the other life
boat from the starboard side well
away and I wished we were that far
distant from the Maasdam.
We cleared the ship by way OF
the stern and saw a tanker back of
the Maasdam. We knew only now
that three ships had been torpedoed
at once. I cursed submarines, tor
pedoes and war subconsciously.
Later I learned the submarine had
come up between lanes seven and
eight and had fired a pattern, hitting
the Maasdam, the ammunition ship
to its side, and the tanker TO its
rear.
The nearest available ship for US
was a large tanker of our lane, but
now out of line because of the con-
gestion of the two torpedoed ships
ahead Of it in the lane and not yet
sunk. The first officer said to the
fourth, Shall We row for the
tanker?" No one really wanted to
go there because airplane gasoline
is highly combustible, but there was
nothing else to do. In the fast fad
ing twilight we shifted to accom-
modate the rowers and made for the
tanker.

First Come, First Served.

only course he saw was to sell out.

close his station. Others shared his
opinion.
Another provision of the ration
ing order may be disregarded, some
said.
This provides that no filling sta
ton operator shall discriminate be-
tween different consumers of motor
fuel or different classes of trade"
A number of station managers, and
one chain supervisor, said privately
that they were sure stations would
'look out for regular customers
first" whether or not this is called
discrimination"
Tourists at Bottom Of List.
One of them suggested that the
practice of selling equally to
strangers would permit motorists to
go from one station to another, fill
ing up. Another said that tourists
would be at the bottom of the list
of the customers he would supply.

was one comment. BY the end of
month, you'll have to know the
right man before you can get gas"
One station anticipates turning
away even it's regular customers who
drive private cars, because it must
supply its large number of COM
mercial customers with their regular
purchases.
Might Cut Hours.
Two stations suggested they might
cut their daily hours of service
already limited to the period from
am. to pm.
If some such step is not taken,
a manager said, attendants will have
to investigate the lives of their GUS
toners. They would need to see
how far away from town customer
lived. and whether he needed to
drive to work.
On the other hand, the manager
of one large filling station said he
thought most local stations would
have no trouble under the new
edict-because its psychological ef-
feet would cause the public to re-
duce purchases voluntarily.
More Skip Stops.
Meanwhile, the District Petroleum
Conservation Committee announced
that the Capital Transit Co. has
arranged AZ additional skip stops
on bus lines here In an effort to
save more gasoline.

Price Fixing Is Extended
To Lumber Industry
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
Price fixing was extended to the
lumber industry yesterday with the
establishment of ceiling" quota
tions on Southern pine which
officials estimated would save con-
sumers $4,000, 900 a year.
Announcing the action. Leon
Henderson. price administrator,
said that Douglas Fir would soon be
included.
A maximum charge for Southern
pine, said to be about SO per thou
sand board feet below recent prices,
was announced effective Septem-
Der for mills and concentration
yards. Wholesale and retail yard
prices were expected to fall into
conformity quickly.
"If this does not happen" Mr..
Henderson said, ''the ceiling will be
extended to cover all wholesale and
retail sales" He asserted that pro-
ducers could operate profitably
under the new prices and described
present levels as exhorbitant.

He received his public school edu-
cation at Newton and later was
graduated from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology.
He studied sociology in several
European universities and upon re-
turning to the United States en-
tered Columbia University, where
he took his M. A. and Phi. D. de-
grees. While lecturing on sociology
at Columbia he became interested
in economics, which led to his re-
turn to Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology as a lecturer on that
subject. He remained at the latter
institution until 1901, when he was

said.
Says Stands Are Curtailed.
One taxi company official said
cruising could be cut down if more
cab stands were permitted in busy
areas, and declared the District
Motor Vehicle Division has taken
away many cab stands.
Another executive contended that
residents here have come to depend
on cruising hackers, asserting that
Washington has more cabs than
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Richmond combined.
People here are cab conscious y
he said, largely because of parking
difficulties"
Other cities to which Mr.. Ickes
addressed his request were Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh,
Atlanta, Jersey City, Newark, Provi-
dence, r. L.; Rochester, Syracuse,
Baltimore, Buffalo, Worchester,
Richmond, Jacksonville and Miami.
Befuddled by Rules.
Meanwhile, survey of local fill
ing stations late yesterday showed
that most managers are delaying
application of any rationing until
they are less befuddled about ad-
miristration of the complicated set
Of rules laid down by the Henderson
order.
With Mr.. Ickes leaving town for
a Western tour, they were looking
for clarification to the big petrole-
I'm marketcrs, who indicated they
would propose specific procedure
some time this week. Some oil men
Speculated that each sale to custo-
mers in the mon essential class
might be limited to five gallons on
one visit to service station.
BY the end of the month, many
Washington stations may be forced
virtually to close up shop, some
station managers said late yester-
day. Sales were high Friday and

More Orderly Conduct.
In revealing the program, Mr..
McEntee said:
while the outdoor work per-
formed by members of the corps
builds them up physically and re-
suits in muscular development, 1t
does not tend to improve their pos
ture. This was one of the reasons
for prescribing daily calisthenics In
all Junior companies. A group that
takes periodic setting up exercises
and that marches well will, as
natural result of the training incl
dent thereto acquire erect carriage
and muscular coordination.
Better discipline and more or
derly conduct, as well as a better
company appearance, are always
easier of attainment when members
of an organization are marched TO
the mess hall or other formations not
held Immediately in front of their
barracks. 1t is believed that addi-
ton of marching to the basic train
ing program will improve the pos
ture and carriage of enrollees, i'm
prove their health and physiques
and increase their employability.
Discipline, ability to carry out
orders promptly and intelligently,
sound work habits, good health and
a good physique are attributes de-
sired by employers of young men.
In discussing youth training with
employers, I have found that they
consider character. good work habits,
discipline and posture as important
as special skills. The c. G. C. pro-
vides both types of training"
Follow Infantry Drill.
The War Departments order to
the Corps Area commanders read as
follows:
Il. In order to improve the car
riage and posture of enrollees, and
| to attain more orderly movement of
large groups of enrollees within the
camps. it is desired that instruction
in marching and simple formation

AS I started up the stairs l saw

EAST EDGECOMB, Me, Aug.
16.-William z. Ripley, 73, former
professor of political economy at
Harvard University and authority
on railroad transportation, died to-
day at his summer home.
A resident of Newton, Mass. Prof
Ripley served during the World War
as administrator of labor standards
in the War Department. He had
been a special examiner for the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
He had lectured at number of
schools and was the author of sew
eral books including Financial His
tory of Virginia" The Races of
Europe" Trusts. Pools and Corpo-
rations" and others on railroad
management and operation.
Influence i'm Wall Street.
His book, From Main Street to
Wall Street" in 1927 won the Har-
mon Survey award of $500 as the
most distinctive contribution of the
year to the social or industrial well
fare of the United States"
With an international reputation
as an authority on economics, Prof.
Ripley welded wide influence
through his writings and lectures.
The effect Of this influence was
noted frequently in Wall Street,
where serious consideration was ac-
corded his outspoken criticism of
the policies of various corporations
regarding their stock.
Early in 1926 it was said that ad-
vance copies of a magazine article
by Prof. Ripley found their way into
the financial district of New York
That day there was a sharp reac-
ton during the final hour of trad
ing on the Stock Exchange and,
while it may have been merely a
coincidence, opinion in Wall Street
was that the Ripley article was
partly responsible for it.
