cleared away. out of sight There
are two advantages in having folding
tables and hooking them out Of the

tables can be used for grim but
good purpose in case of a naval en-

carried TO the doctors battle stations
and swung from hooks by chains or
ropes to be used as beds, with ham

The hammocks-au enlisted men

mattresses. They, too, serve a double
purpose, as do most things on battle
ships. They are life pgeserveTs as

The men find it hard to learn to get

North Canaan with a population of 2171 had 715 contributors, a notable record.

MANY PASSENGERS ABOARD

The United States transport, Crook, operated by the Alaskan Engineering Commission, came into port at eight o'clock this morning for water, being unable to secure any at Anchorage. The Crook left Anchorage last Sat urday night at o'clock with 450 pas sengers aboard. Yesterday noon the captain headed direct out into the Pa cifc for Dixon's Entrance, but one hour after, heavy clouds indicating a snow storm, the Crook was turned ground and headed for Resurrection Bay as there were only three. days water supply aboard and a storm would undoubtedly delay the trans port. Last night, the weather being heavy, anchor was dropped and the Crook did not come into the bay un- til daybreak this morning.
 The CrooI, laid here for several hours and sailed out around about the noon hour
 Coming down the Inlet, the trans lort ran under slow bell encounter ing heavy ice floes the entire distance.

From our point Of view the Monroe doctrine is get
