LITTLE TRITON'S CREW
NUMBERS SOMETHING
LIKE A,THOUSAND NOW

The little naval tug Triton,
which lies OF the Washington
navy yard when 1t isn't chugging
up and down the Potomac, is
quite a considerable center of
population these days. Before
we went to war to make the
world safe for democracy mem
bers Of the crew used to grumble
about overcrowding when more
than six or eight men were
aboard at one time. Today the
Triton's crew numbers some
thing like q thousand.
1t comes about this wise: At
the outbreak Of the war the
Navy enlisted a lot Of civilians
as yeomen and put them at cIer-
ical work. Naval regulations re-
quire that yeomen shall be as
signed to vessels. The Triton be-
ing handy. and not able to help
itself, the yeomen were assigned
to that vessel.
Among these yeomen, by the
way. are a considerable number
of young women.
Miss Smith, will you be good
enough to reef the Triton's
anchor"
