[(Special Correspondence.
Washington, April 19.—By address
ing the captain of the United States
coast guard at the treasury depart
ment, Washington, Iowa young men
who are anxious to get cadetshlpa In
the coast guard will be enabled to get
interesting details concerning this ser
vice. One hears much of cadetships I
in the military academy at West Point
and in the naval academy at Annapo
lis. IBut cadetships In the coast guard
are something about which most peo
pie have little knowledge. The coast j.
guard service is that service of the
government which has been formed by
the consolidation of the life-saving ser
vice and the revenue cutter service. It
is doubtful if more faithful and loyal
types of men can be found in the gov
ernment service than among the men
who save lives along the coast and
those who travel the seas from the
Arctic to the gulf in the revenue .cut
ters, performing many deeds of quiet
heroism of which little is ever heard.
Life Positions Open.
The coast guard headquarters has
just given out an announcement con
cerning cadetships which young men
the country over will find of interest.
This announcement says that a line op
portunity for young men to obtain life
positions under the government is pre
sented by the forthcoming examination
to fill ten vacancies in the line and
engineer corps at the -Coast Guard
Academy, New l«ondon, Conn.
The course at the academy covers
a period of three years for line cadets
and one year for cadet engineers. Four
months of each year are spent at sea
on the practice ship, during which time
the principal ports along the Atlantic
coast are visited. This year the prac
tice cruise will include in its itinerary
the West Indies and the Panama canal
zone. Cadets receive $500 per annum,
and in addition one ration, equivalent
to $109 per year. (Cadet engineers re
ceive 75 a month and one ration.
After successfully completing the
three-year course, cadets are commis
sioned as third lieutenants and have
the same rank and pay as second lieu
tenants in thq army ($1,700 per an
nwm). Cadet 'engineers are commis
sioned as third lieutenants of engineers
after successfully completing the one
year course and have the same rank
and pay as third lieutenants.
The coast guard being a part of tho
military forces of the government, its
officers are entitled, by law, to lon
gevity pay, and to retirement at the
age of 64 years, or for physical dis
ability. Retired officers receive three
fourths of the pay to which they were
entitled before retirement.
The requirements are that the candi
dites must be American citizens, un
married, physically sound, of good
moral character, between the ages of
18 and 24 for line cadets and 20 and
26 for cadet engineers.
The examinations, which are strictly
competitive, require the equivalent of a
first-class high school education for
line cadets, and in addition thereto,
for cadet-engineers, a knowledge of
theoretical steam engineering. They
will be held on June 26, 1916, at Wash
ington. t. C., and in several other large
cities in different sections of the coun
try. depending upon the location of the
candidates.
SKINS BAT8 FOR LIVING.
California Trapper Sends 1,000 Tiny
Pelts to New York Furrier.
•A-Ocoriliin^ to (TTenrl -Le 'Bugi, a local
trapper, he has delivered an order of
1,000 bat skins from a large New Tork
fur house for which toe has been trap
ping for years.
The skins were secured from a pe
culiar species of baits found in a large
cave in ithe iMarysvJHe Buttes. The
bats were secured during the winter
months, ithe trapper consuming several
months In their preparation for ship
ment.
He says he received a check for $400
from the New York firm and a letter
thanking ihim for securing the bat
slcliis
The itlny pelts were used to make a
collar for an expensive coait, which
cost the owner $3600.—iLive Oak, C&L,

When Did He Work?
At the annual luncheon of the
Casualty Agricultural Association on
February 25, one of the consulting
actuaries told a story in which an
employer, who had been asked by &
Blerk for an increase in salary, mad©
*thfe following calculation as to the
working days of a year:
Taa have been with me for several
yaars," said the employer, "but have
jienrn worked for me. There axe 365
days in the year one-third of your
ttms you spend in sleep, that is 122
days, leaving 243 days one-third of
your time you spend in recreation,
which takes oft toother 122 -days, leav
ing sixty nine days. As Saturday is a
hall* holiday, that takeB oft twenty
six days, leaving forty-three then I
give you two weeks' vacation, or four
teen days, which' cuts it down to
twenty-nine, and, this nuinb«t* Is
further reduced by thirteen holidays,
leaving sixteen. Since'I give you an
hour for lunch, this would total up
fifteen days in a year. So thert is
only one remaining day, and that Is
aood Friday, and our place of. busi
ness Is closed.**'

the little yellow automobile in which
Miss Nell Richardson and Mrs. Alice
Snltjer Burke (left to right in the auto
in the accompanying picture) are to
tour the United States was dedicated
to its work with the name Golden
Flier In New York. Gasoline was the
appropriate liquid with which the little
car was dedicated to its work. "In the
name of the enfranchisement of women
and of the 'National American Suffrage
Association I name thee the Golden
Flier," said Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt
as she broke the bottle on the radiator.
In her earnestness she made a dent in
the radiator. With banners flying the
automobiles finally reached the "West
