' That Marino didn't just happen to be the husky lad ho Is. Ho is . merely a walking example of i what tho Marino 'Corps can do for tho ordinarily healthy man. May-be May-be when ho camo into tho service ho was a little stoop shouldered, 1 didn't havo much "pep." Maybo L he wa3 working at a Job ho didn't caro for, didn't havo anybody to 1 "pal around with." v. Tho Marino Corps Is a body of men, carofully trained to uso both hands, both foot and tholr heads. Thoy are the sort of men who can 1 take Vora Cruz or form a guard of honor for tho Prince of Wales, and do both Jobs shipshape. They are blood brothers to tho French For-1 For-1 clgn Legion, tho Pennsylvania 1 Stato Constabulary, the Canadian r: Mounted Police naA tho Texas m"' Hangers. They ar princes of good fellows, and they're wildcats when they're vid. No man does hi3 best work unless un-less he likes his Job. And no man can do good work without plenty of recreation. It Is upon the3e two principles that Marine Corps training Is based. Tho Marine must bo something of a sailor and everything of a soldier. sol-dier. So ho is always learning something new and lntcnsoly Interesting. In-teresting. In addition to taking on quite a bit of seamanship, ho learns to hike like an infantryman, ride -like a cavalryman and handle guns llko an artilleryman. He knows something of wireless telegraphy and mechanics. In fact, when ho comes out of the Marino Corps there aro all sorts of big-paying civilian Jobs that arc waiting for a man who can do so many different kinds of things and do them well. To keep a man fit thero Is nothing noth-ing like athletic sports, and all Marlnc-3 aro encouraged to go In for boxing, football, baseball and swimming. Competent coaches and trainers arc provided and ovory facility fa-cility for a man to Indulge In tho form of sport that most appeals to hlra. uoou fellowship or the Corps A life of travel, advonturo and outdoor work would naturally attract at-tract the man who has tho makings mak-ings of a "good" fellow" In him.
