bles and the serving is so systematized that
the most important dishes of the meal leave
the heaters first. On the average American
battleship not than four minutes is re-
quired TO serve the cooked portion of a meal
for more than 700 bluejackets and on the bat
tleship Missouri record of two minutes for
serving a meal has been attained over and
again. To do this, either mess strikers
must serve the tea and coffee at the same time
that the messmen are serving the solid food,
or else the drinkables must be served in ad-
vance, but this latter can readily be done If
necessary, for experience has proven that tea
and coffee served at boiling heat will retain
their heat for some little time.
The general mess on a warship, comprs-
ing practically all of the enlisted men of the
navy and marine corps is divided into messes
of about 20 men EACH and a messman is de-
tailed for each mess, to receive the food from
the cooks at the galley, and serve 1t at the
mess table Tipping is not only unnecessary,
but 1t is forbidden. When men landed
from a warship in large numbers, either for
going into camp or for an expedition, a com
missary corps, including cooks bakers and
messmen is sent with them, to see to it that
they have good food and plenty of it,

"One of the principal problems taken up by
the Conference" said Prof. Moore was the
question of international agreement as to the
taking of wireless marine weather reports
The scheme to obtain the adoption by all

taking and transmitting wireless meteorological
observations so that each observation no mat
ter by what nation taken, will be comparable
with the observations taken by any other ma
ton, There is now no uniform system of re.
ceiving and transmitting marine wireless
weather reports and exactly the same things
are not observed.
Observations received by a ship would be
transmitted to other ships so that by relaying

nowhere near as frequent as they
