SaIutino the Quarter Deck.

One of the Oldest customs in the
navy and one that is often puzzling to
the landsman is that of "saluting the
quarter deck" Many have the hazy
idea that the national colors are its
object and that it is merely a naval
fad. While to a certain extent it is a
fad, it is one of hoary antiquity, be-
ing a survival of the days when cru
cifix was placed on the stern of ship
and was always saluted as a matter
Of course. When the crucifi1 was taken
away the old feeling still remained
and men continued to salute the place
where it had been. The younger gen
Grafton initiated their elders, and the
salute became a habit and continues
until this day.-Los Angeles Times.
