JULY FOURTH
The Day Of Days Among Uncle Sans
Sailor Boys.


| Uncle Sam makes the Fourth o,
July greater day among his sailors
than even Christmas. Indeed. Il Ii
the greatest day for relaxation and
pleasure for Jackie In the whole year.
The early Secretaries OF the navy
established the custom and IL has been
almost religiously maintained Inyio-
late through the long line OF officials
who have succeeded them.
Independence day belongs to the
Jackie. His superiors recognize that
his life Is In some respects a hard
one. To him is denied the ties OF
family, the friendships and all the
other interests and diversions Of life
that make up the landsman's existence,
so for this reason Uncle Sam believes
that his sailors should have as many
holidays rs possible.
To make Independence Day the big
gest day OF all is 10 give the day a
special significance which cannot fail
in some degree al least to carry its
lesson OF patriotic duty to those who
serve the republic on the seas
