REAL FACTS ABOUT ' *
WAGES PAID FOR
SHIP WORKERS THERE
Because of the annoyance caused
emcVivments at the shipyards by
people who have an exaggerated
idea of the wages paid, th© Seattle
Times publishes the following story
and wage scale on September 14.
Employment agents at the Seat
tle shioyards are daily in receipt of
letters from out of town workmen
who want information about wages
in the shipyards.
"Is t true that riveters are get
iDe $20 a day?
"Can I earn $16 a day as a car
penter?
"I read where riveters are Set
ting $100 a week. Is that true?"
These are some of the questions
that must be answered' for prospec
tive shipyard workers. A true Btate
men* of wages was given out today
by one employment agent.
Riveters when working On a
straight eight-hour basis, get $5.78
a day, with double time for over

MANAGER HENDRICKS
TAKES SUGGESTIONS
New Pilot of St. Louis Cardinals
Gives His Players Power.
Methods of Mound City Leader In Di
recting Tetm Are Being Closely
Watched by Critic*—Refuaaa
to "Ride" Hit Men.
No person in the major leugucs, per
haps, lias been so closely watched by
reeoguized baseball critics thus far this
season as has Jack Hendricks, who, af
ter twelve years of successful piloting
in the minor leagues, came to the St.
Louis Nationals this year as manager.
What are his tactics? What meth
ods does he pursue to win? Is he a
czar or Is he gentle? Is he a good los
er? Will his men work for him? These
are only a few of the questions that
hare been asked ahd tbe first days of
the season have seen most of then)
answered.
Hendricks let it be known at the
start of the season that he is not the
one to refuse suggestions. He reserves
final judgment for himself, but players
who veuture to tell their .manager what
should be done under certain circum
stances are not rebuked—for Hendricks
is not a czar. He realizes that he is
new to the league, that he Is practical
ly unacquainted with the players and
tbe strategy opposing him aui} he has
asked tlmt there be no modesty among
his men.
Nor is Hendricks the type of man-1
ager who drives his players. Steady,
as to composure, quick thinking, he re
fuses to "rljle" his men for misplays.
This does not mean that he Is not crit
ical, for he tells every man of his mis
takes and impresses him with the fact
that he doesn't wish them repeated.
Unlike Fielder Jones, who pilots the
major league competitor In St. Louis,
Hendricks does not keep a record of
plays. He depends entirely on his
memory.

A new Bsc has been found for used

by President Barney Dreyfuss of the

received a letter from a patriotic
young woman reading as follows:
"The young women of our associa

This is the most recent pnoiogrupu

the ranks of amateur tennis hat
brought Joy to the great host of fol

competition Miss Cassel ranked among
the first ten women ttxperta on th<

barred her from amateur tennis com

The Browning machine gun has suc
cessfully undergone a test to deter
mine Its value for use with aircraft.
This Is one of three types of machine
guns with which the rate of Are can
be so synchronized with the revolu-,
tions of the propeller of a tractor air
plane that die gun can be fired by the
pilot of • combat plane through the
revolving blades.
Airplane propellers revolve at from
800 to 2,000 revolutions per minute.
The machine gun Is connected with
the airplane engine by a mechanical
or hydraulic device, and Impulses from
the crank shaft are transmitted to the
machine gun. The rate of fire of the
machine gun Is constant and its fire is
synchronized with the revolving pro
peller blades by "wasting" a certain
percentage of the Impulses it receives
from the airplane engine and by hav
ing the remaining impulses trip or pull
the trigger so that the gun fires just
at the fraction of the second when
the propeller blades are clear of the
line of fire.
The pilot operates the gun by means
*f a lever which controls the circuit
and allows the Impulses to trip the
trigger.
