Undo Sam, employment agent, is putting into real eifect, to the benefit of employ ers and seamen alike, the new Fed eral, seamen's law, Secretary of Commerce Redfield declared today. Under the law, ships cannot put to sea from an American port with out the requisite number of register ed seamen. "Here is a good illustration of how the seamen's law is operating," Sec retary Redfield said. "We received a fewdays ago a telegram from the captain of a schooner, at Boothbay, Maine, saying that he could not find the;.' required number of "registered seamen at the pprt, and asking for permission to clear with what help he .could employ. "The port officials had refused him clearance because hp did not have the required quota of registered sea men. "The Department immediately no tified the port officials to make an in vestigation, ac4ccd.the Department of Labor to notify through its represen tatives at Bath and other nearby ports any registered seamen there and send them to Boothbay, and gave assurance to the captain that the government was looking out for him. "Within a remarkably short time a sufficient number of able sea men to man his vessel arrived at Boothbay, idle men were givenx em ployment, and he was able to sail with a competent crew." "The law is working out to good advantage of both employers and seamen, the Secretary said. TO AID-IN SELLING TICKETS Some Hustling Has Got to be Done to Bring Backers Out Safe In Very Limited Time Income Ends On Tuesday Night The following are the ticket committee for the Chautauqua: E. Y. Speed, chairman; W. E. Parrott. t!-V. Moseley, It E. Mewborn, . J. C. Hood, W. D. Hood, Miss Leah Octtinger, Miss Susie Perry, Miss Margaret Goodson, Miss Ann nyman Harvey. There will, be a meeting of the Chautauqua guarantors in the City Hall this evening at 8:30 o'clock sharp. Every guarantor is urged to be present It will be an important meeting. Less than half a week remains in which to purchase Chautauqua sea son tickets." The sale closes Tuesday night. After that the, proceeds from all sales will go to the Chautauqua without counting one penny for the local guarantors. The 'guarantors will have to show $1,400 by the close of business Tuesday night This is a business proposition; Persons, who intend. ,, patronising the Chautauqua should , buy their tickets tonight, Monday or Tuesday, say local boosters. Every dollar re ceived' will help to Make the guaran tors safe. Let the guarantors come out bad on this deal and the chances are that there won't be another Chautauqua here for some time. Season tickets to the Chautauqua may be used by any member of the family,' and the idea that the ticket can only be used by the purchaser is wrong. Purchasers of season tickets will be able to witness the entire se ries of performances, for what only three or four admissions at the box office would cost, No one need anti cipate any trouble in the use of the ticket. The guarantors themselves are asked by the ticket committee to show a little more interest. Some thing like work must be done around this town in the next two work days.

(By Mail) Tha strain pf twenty months of war on., the composite brain of a nation to day showed that a common, ordinary bandage is the new insignia of sym pathy. Just like the sight of a shamrock flashes to the brain of an individual- that it's St. Patrick's 'Day, the alght of a- bandage tells the average Brit isher that he should be sympathetic. To have on your finger, a aemi- carbuncular furuncle (which is an : over-zealous boil) M to wear your arm in a sling. This means a uber- al display of bandage. , Walking along a crowded London thoroughfae with your arm in n sling transforms you from an abl bodied slacker to a hero just back from the front. A uniform isnt necessary. The sympathetic . "composite war brain" overlooks all that is lacking. Yon have been wounded, and it can read-. ily be seen that you are ired ' of wearing your uniform and you aire modeBt alwut attracting attention anyhow. Old ladies beam on you in trams, busses and subways. 'Men on the street who wear the Derby armlet look sheepish . when you pass. Barbers take special care not to jostle your "wounded" arm.'
