Renneckar, of the Renneckar Drug Company, has a personal in- terest in a stereoptican slide which is being shown on the screen of the Village theater this week. The let- tering on the slide is as follows: Man the ships! The Merchant Marine needs men from 21 to 30 as sailors, firemen and cooks; good jobs at good pay; military exemption. Apply to the official enrolling station of the United States Shipping Board at any Rexall store. Mr. C. E. Renneckar is a special enrolling agent here of the U. S. Shipping Board, and is signing up young men to enter the training service of the Merchant Marine as sailors, firemen, coal-passers, cooks and messmen. The young men are given a special course of instruction on training ships maintained by the U. S. Shipp- ing Board, before being placed in the crews of the big new merchant vessels now being commissioned by the Shipping Board to take supplies to Europe. They receive good pay and are given exemption from mili- tary service by special regulation. No Discrimination There is no discrimination of any kind between soldiers who are not citizens of the United States and the native born or naturalized citizens in the American Army, excepting that the former can not hold commissions. In all other respects--care, attention, privileges, etc.--they are all on the same footing. Powerful Liberty Motor The 12-cylinder Liberty Motor, ac- cording to a statement by the War Department, weighs 825 pounds and develops 450 horsepower, or a weight of 1.8 pounds per horsepower. The gasoline consumption is approximate- ly 0.46 pound per horsepower hour.
