An hour or two before multitudes
of happy home keeping San Francis
cans dragged their sleepy feet over
thick rugs toward xheir downy beds
last night 12O little mites scampered
over the green turf TO hunks that had
only a tent canvas above. and then
the friendly. starry decked sky.
Those boys and girls are the fam
ily' at the Presbyterian orphanage at
San Anselmo, whom all will benefit if
they add their support to the annual
grape festival to be held at the Kent
homestead grounds at Kentfield Octo-
ber 4.
Some months ago the home was
burned down. The charitable women
who are at the head of the festival
hope to make enough money to build
new building for the motherless
boys and girls, and have q whole lot
left over to be spent in enlarging the
grounds and buildings.
So the best thing any charItably
inclined housewife can do is to leave
q lot of fruit jars empty until October
4 and then take a bushel basket over
to Kentfeld and buy grapes in good
cause

Y ORR I OWN
IS CALLED
MAD SHIP
Naval Investigation to Place
Blame for Wholesale De-
SertionS

The United States gunboat Yorktown
leaves man of war row today for the
Mare island navy yard. where the YES
sci will be drydocked and given gen
eral overhauling. 1t is reported that
the overhauling process will not be
confined to the vessel and that naval
board will be convened while the gun
boat is at the yard to investigate the
unusual number of desertions and
punishments that marked the war
ships cruise in southern waters.
The Yorktown, in navy parlance. Is
what is known as a mad ship" The
vessel has been in commission only
six months. The crew numbers 175
men. OF these 81 have deserted. "a
have been tried by deck court martial
and IL by summary court martial. This
by itself is record that has no par
allel in the navy In recent years.
What makes the matter more
serious from the departments point
of view is that many of the de-
serters were first class men. Some
OI lHeIu were petty ClnCtTS anu ill
of them had made good records on
previous cruises. Some of them were
serving their second enlistment. The
ma jority of the deserters belonged to
the class of young Americans to
whom the department is trying to
make the navy attractive. On board
the ship they say that the only rea-
son the desertion list was not heavier
is the fact that pay day will not bs
until the 9Th of next month.
A typical case OF desertion was that
of a petty officer who took French
leave at San Diego on the Yorktown's
trip south. When the Yorktown had
left port he reported on board the
Alert. He was sent back to the
Yorktown. Captain Bradshaw, the
commanding officer, recommended the
deserter for general court martial.
Washington disapproved. He was
given a summary court and fined ST.
He paid the fine and at the first
chance deserted again.
