the habit of filing all job needs
through the USES except in ex-
ceptional cases. Otherwise a sur
plus of job applicants who have
registered with the USES may
sit around waiting for a call while
employers on the otherhand may
be complaining Of a tight labor
market because they have failed
to make contact with applicants
by hlt-or-miss methods.
AS an example of the type and
volume Of work that the local
office is now engaged in, Nj.
HYDE set forth the following fig
ures:
During September, 1881 appli-
cants made contact with the SER
vice here, and OF this number,
1913 were referred to local joe
openings, and 626 actually plac-
ed. Many o. those who contacted
the service were not actually
seeking immediate employment,
but were given the information
they we're in need of in order to
formulate plans for the future.
OF the 383 veterans who visited
the office seeking work, 265 were
referred to local job openings,
and 125 were placed.
"A larger number Of both vet
Grams and non-veterans could
have been placed had the USES
been furnished with a list of all
the openings in the community"
Mr.. Hyde said. Therefore, let
me again urgently solicit the CO.
operation of all business firms,
manufacturing plants, service or
CARNATIONS and private individ-
uals in advising the USES of
their employment needs. The Of
flee is here to undertake the com
munity problem Of postwar place

The other day we visited in
the home of a friend who showed
us a finely printed book of old
river steamboats,, including il
Illustrations, data about their de-
sign, equipment, history, and 9TH

careers in the hey-day of river

That day has long since van

literature and memory. Today
there is probably more traffic
going up and down the Missis-
sippi than there was in Mark
Twain's day, with the Federal
Barge Lines carrying hundreds
of thousands of tons of freight
between New Orleans, Chicago,
and other points. Walking along
the levee one sees these huge
RATS of pointed and dove-tailed
barges, all fitted tighly togeth-

river by one powerful tug. The

The Medical School

The following editorial from the Richmond
Va, Times-Register gives an expert analysis
of the inadvisability of building an expensive
folr-year medical college in Mississippi be-
fore the medical care of people in the coun-
ties has been taken care of by a system of
smaller hospitals. This editorial gives SUBJ
stantially the point of view of the Mississippi
Farm Bureau, as presented recently in the
Chronicle-Star.
It also gives first-hand testimony as to
the successful working agreement be-
tween West Virginia. which has no four
Yoar medical school. and the state of Vir-
ginia. which gives the young men of its
n~oighboring state a medical education.

Chronicle Star would like to point out

are prime breeding grounds for patron
age and dirty politics. which can be OBJ

The Japanese captains were al
ways anxious to learn these
tricks, and the pilots suspected
they hurried right to their cab
ms and wrote them to whatever
department it vas in the Japan
ese navy that was supposed to
take charge of Mississippi river
shipping when the day came.
During the fifteen hours or so
that the pilot was aboard, he
was captain of the ship, was adj
dressed as captain, and gave the
orders. On some ships the regu-
lar captains used the time to catch
up with their sleeping or their
swindle-sheets. But not the Japs.
The little captain of a Jap ship
stood at the pilots side con-
stantlY asking him why he did
so and so, and how he knew the
river channel turned at just such
a point, etc.
One night in a heavy fog.

but they seem TO sense ii.
The pilot knew that he was
proceeding along this peculiar
stretch of the river, however,
even though the banks we're
closed in by fog. He reached up
to the whistle cord and blew a
short blast and then listened for
a moment in silence. Finally, |

quartermaster at the wheel and
gave an order altering the course.
The little Jap captain was all
curiosity now.

well now. I'll tell you. There
are swamps on both sides of the
river along this stretch and they
come right up to the bank. But
there aren't any woods or ele-
vations to make an echo. SO we
have to use the frogs. The
frogs sit on the lilly pads and
they jump off when we blast the
whistle. They make a little PUNK
that carries pretty well. If we
are too close to the starboard we
hear them PUNK on the starboard,
bank; if we hear them plunk on
the port, we are too close to port.
If we don't hear them at all we
are out IN the river and every

or junked by the time of the first
World War. And yet there are a
few of the old bulls still afloat
on the river doing service in va
rious capacities. The average
landlubber does not realize that
good hulls such as hulls of thick
oak planking, when well cared
for have been known to give a
century of service and longer.
This is perhaps more true OF
Newfoundland fishing boats and
the like than it is of the river
steamers. whose life was often
not longer than ten years because
of snags, sandbars and fire.
But there was at least one fam
Gus hull doing service in the
river about ten years ago whose
history was hard to believe. Per-
haps she is still doing the same
job yet. In 1885 she was a train
ferry for the Texas and Pacific
railroad, carrying loaded boX-cars
across the river. But she had
begun life as a Confederate gun
boat and had fought in the bat
ties in the river at Vicksburg,
seventy-five years earlier.
