WORK WITH CITY OF DALLAS
The City of Dallas has advised that
they will soon hold apprentice examina
tions for students who are graduating
from college this year whose homes are
in Dallas and who are interested in muni
cipality work. The successful applicants are
employed as apprentices for one year at
a salary of from $60 to $90 per month
and at the end of that year are per
manently placed in some classification for
which they will have to qualify by tak
ing a non-competitive examination. Addi
tional information on this may be secured
from the Placement Bureau and interest
ed seniors should come by Room 133, Ad
ministration Building at once.

AERONAUTICAL AND MARINE
ENGINEERING
We contemplate offering to June grad
uates ten or twelve weeks’ training in
both Aeronautical Engineering and Ma
rine Engineering — Naval Architecture.
This will enable the graduates who take
the courses to qualify as Junior Marine-
Naval Architecture Engineer after ob
taining their Civil Service rating.
In order to ascertain the interest in
this instruction, we have prepared forms
for June graduates which are based on
the possibility that deferment might be
obtained long enough to take the train
ing. These forms may be obtained at my
office or at the office of the head of
any engineering department.

“Supply of cotton has become
secondary to demand. The United
States will consume 12,000,000 bal

and July 1942, while exports for
this period will be only 1,000,000
bales.
“The universal cotton standards
are made up by representatives
from nine foreign countries and
the United States. After arguing
for several days, these men finally
agreed on how a standard for a
certain grade should look, then it
is followed universally. There are
two ends of the cotton business;
first, the office which includes
bookkeeping, hedging transactions,
straddling (between markets and
mouths), making bills of lading,
drawing drafts and other things
that mature. Then secondly, there
is the end which takes care of the
actual buying, selling, classing,
satisfying the customer and things
of that nature.

Just don’t forget when you get
to your post and the bills start
piling up that the War department
said that you shouldnft spend more
than what you make. That should
be a great consolation.
