Navy Yard Goats
Fully Protected

No one can get the goat of the men
employed in a United States navy yard
mot IL Beekman Winthrop, Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, knows anything
about it. He has taken issue with Rear
Admiral Robert M. Doyle, commsndant
Of the Norfolk navy yard, who recently
had an unexpected rear-end collision
with a billy goat, and thereupon
promptly banished the mascot which
belonged TO the men OF the yard.
This experience, more or less Of a
shock both TO the dignity and the
physical comfort OF the rear admiral
babe fair to get the goat of the men.
They had cared for the omnivornus
guadruped because II was their mascot,
their good luck piece, and, moreover,
furnished no end OF fun.
But the rear admiral, having been
butted, couldn't see the endearing quail
ties of the goat, and threatened to tie
q can on his goatship.
But Beekman Winthrop. who breeds
fine cattle and therefore has an affec-
ton for animals, believes that the Alb
sence of goats will deprive the employees
OF navy yards Of an innocent, II rather
vigorous. source of amusement, and has
said that the men may continue to
keep mascots. goats, or anything else
that pleases their fancy.
The decision Of the Assistant Secre-
Sary OF the Navy is calculated TO please
the men. although II will not be cheer
ing intelligence to the rear admiral.
