HIGH JOB OFFERED .
_
Uncle Sam is looking about for 250
young men with high school education
who would like to learn the exciting
profession of Army balloonist, and ev
entually become balloon and airship
reserve officers. They will be paid $75
a month while learning, and receive a
ration allowance of $1 a day, together
with quarters, all cothing and equip
ment, and free medical ‘ and dental
treatment. The course is open to un
married applicants possessing a high
school education, or its equivalent, who
can pa3s the Regular Army physical
examinations and the physical tests
required of flying officers.
Successful candidates enter as ca
dets and will be sent at once to the
Air Service School for training as
balloon observers at Ross Field, Los
Angeles, California. There each young
; •- 'V'V r* ’• *, 1
man takes a 10-month’s course in bal
loon observation under ideal condi
tions. He is taught how .to handle his
craft in all its phases and to make ob
servations, and he eventually qualifies
as a free balloon pilot.
When the cadet is rated as a bal
loon observer he goes to Fort Sill, Ok
lahoma, to receive his artillery train-,
ing. Upon completion of this course,
the student is commissioned a second
lieutenant in the Air Service Reserve
Corps. Then he has the alternative of
discharge or continuation in service as
an enlisted man. There is also oppor
tunity for him to take the examina
tion for a lieutenancy in the Regular
Army. If a cadet cannot finish his
course successfully, he will be dis
charged and not retained in the Aimy
against his will. -
Major General P. C. Harris, The
Adjutant General of the Army* says:
“This trainig opens up an entirely
new range experience to the young
man, and lays the foundation for
qualification as a dirigible . balloon
pilot,, a new field of almost limitless
possibilites. Commercial transporta
tion by airship is an accomplished fact
in America, and according to pres
ent plans, next year will see it in act
ual operation in this country on a
large scale. Today the only opportun
ity for such training is either in the
A» my or in the Navy; in fact the lafck
of qualified personnel is one of the
serious drawbacks to present commer
cial plans for airship transportations
lines.”
Army recruiting officers through
out the United States have been noti
fied to furnish full particulars to all
young men who aie interested in be
coming balloonists under these hew
conditions.' *

NEW GERMANS
PARIS, Nov. 6— Emigration from
Germany to the United States will be
tremendous if no barrier is raised by
the latter country when peace is fin
ally signed , according to reports
reaching Dr. Rupert Blue, surgeon
general of the United States Public
Health Service, upon whose staff of
American doctors is responsible of me
dically examining every emigrant
bound for America.
The Germans wish to emigrate, ac
cording to Dr. Blue's reports, because
of the high cost of living and the
heavy taxes that will be levied for
many years to come.
Wholesale emigration from Ger
many to the United States is impos
sible now because the two countries
are still technically at war, but Com
missioner Dresel at Berlin is allowed
vise a maximuni of 25 German pass
ports weekly.

WASHINGTON, Nov., 5— Samuel
Gompers in a statement ihade today
declared that the Non Partisan policy
of the American Federation of Labor
was more completely justified than it
has ever been' by the result of the
election and that the futility of a sep
arate party was clearly demonstrated.
He further said that every forward
looking man however must feel some
regret for the utter defeat of the
Democratic party but that he thought
things would right themselves in the
proper time. Meanwhile the actual ta
bulations of the results of the Con
gressional election show a definite
specified gain for all to respond to,
for it fills the need of the times and
makes for progress. He asserted that
every man whose record of service
was perfect would undoubtedly be re
•
elected to Congress and’ that the in
creased percentage would be shown
among members holding union cards.

Dr. C. A. Pollard of Van Couver,
Wash, and more recently from Sel
dovia Alaska, where he has been for
the past month, is registered at the
Sexton Hotel. Dr. Pollard will open
ofices in rooms 15 and 16 of the Van
Gilder Building next Monday morn
ing. These offices wll be thoroughly
equipped with all the latest applian
ces for conducting the dental business.
Dr. Pollard is a first class dentist of
wide experience, having had an exten
sive practice prior to the late war in
Delta, Colorado and during the war
with the U. S. Army at Van Couver
Barracks. The lack of a dentist in
Seward during the past few mofltha
has obliged many persons whose teeth
needed attention to journey to other
places . This wiil no longer be neces
sary. Dr. Pollard is thoroughly equip
ped, by both experience and modem
appliances to handle every branch of
dentistry. He is here to stay and we
predict a successful future for him in
Seward.
WOMEN MAGISTRATES FOR
JUVENILE COURTS
Women magistrates for courts deal
ing with children’s cases are advocat
ed in a report just issued by the Brit
sh Board of Education, according to
information received by the Children’s
Bureau of the U. S. Department of
Labor.
Juvenile offenses against the law
are on the increase in England. The
old methods of punishment by whip
ping and imprisonment have failed.
In 1916 the number of young persons
sent to prison totaled 2,800; in 1918
it had increased to 5,000. Of all those
who were punished by detention, one
sixth were back in the court within a
month. Whipping has proved even
more of a failure, as one-fourth of the
offenders reappeared in court within
a month.
The treatment of juvenile offenders
in England has been greatly Improved
since the passage of the Children’s
Act in 1906, but many of the magis
trates have not had a sympathetic un
derstanding of child life and they have
not been keen to avail'themselves of
the many facilities for considerate
treatment pieced at their di^osal the
ef rehabUiatton was recog
nized in the law, but the practice has
been neglected.
The report recommends that every
juvenile court, not only in the cities
but also in the rural district, which
has to deal with any considerable num
ber of offenders should have a child
ren’s probation officer. His duty would
be not only to supervise cases himself
but to secure the cooperation of teach
ers, scout masters, officers of boys
and girls clubs, and other sicial or
ganizations so that every child in his
charge should be introduced to one or
more of these agencies.
