CHANCE TO SEE WORLD
Naval Reservists Have Opportunity
to Make Long Cruise
Naval roservists who again fell the
call of the sea and yearn for adventure
as a tonic for the humdrum of a dreary
existence on thc land may have their
Order filled to the letter and have all
thc adventure that may bo reasonably
crowded into a jenr or two by notifying
thc commandant of the Fourth Naval
district.
The protected cruiser St. ""Louis is
scheduled to lcavo Philadelphia, con
voying six destroyers for the Mediter
ranean and eNnr East ports. This
squadron has been ordered to re-enforce
the American fleet nlready over thcro
under Rear Admiral Knapp, which is
looking after American Interests nnd
property in that part of the world. In
cidentally, there is a lively business in
refugees in the Near East. The Amer
ican Government is none too sanguine
of thc permanency of the various coali
tions and governments in tho eastern
Mediterranean and keeps a good forco
in thosp waters. '
Recently a circular letter was sent
to the reservists in this district, advir
ing tlictn of this opportunity to Rce' the
world. No fleet reserve men of the
first or second class arc acceptable.
Commander It. O. Ncodhom, aide for
personnel. Fourth Naval district, is in
charge of selecting the crews for the
ships.

It Will Pay You
To Have Your
N
Home Painted
And Make Some
Needed Repairs
You can help your neighborhood help your city, hnd incidentally
help your own Investment by tidying up your house a bit. A little
fresh paint does wonders in making a shabby Home look spic and
span. Some needed carpentry makes a deal of difference, too.
It would surprise you the tremendous difference, merely in looks, apart
from convenience, that the spending of a few dollars makes in your
home. Measured by the big difference it makes in added value to
your property, the cost is small. The fresh-looking, clean-looking
house attracts for it compels attention.
But quite apart from the selfish motive of added value of what is yours,
is the bigger thought of service to your neighborhood and toxyour city.
.Helping keep rhiladelphia a clean city may De
more than a matter of mere paint,
and cleaning up a bit helps a lot !
Play the part of a good citizen and
get busy The investment will yield
big dividends.
