"How Joined Uncle Sans Navy"
By C. C. Lyon.

l never knew it was possible to do
so many different things IN any one
day until / got into the United States
navy.
A recruits hours are from 5 IN the
morning until 8 at night.
From at night until 5 in the
morning he has nothing to do but
sleep.
In his Is waking hours he gets up
and makes up his hammock and lashes
it: sweeps out his bungalow; helps
clean up the camp; takes scrub at
himself; eats breakfast; does some
guard duty; drills until school time;
goes to school for two hours; washes
himself again; eats dinner; goes out
for boat drill; takes setting up exer-
cises, gymnasium work or swimming
lessons; does some extra drilling Il
he's violated any of the camp regu-
lations; washes his own clothing;
goes to supper; lines up for roll call
at $40, and is in his hammock by 8.
It's no wonder the hundreds of
young fellows who are now crowding
the naval training stations have ap-
petites like goats.
A naval recruit is hungry all the
time. He can't be filled up because
the constant training and hardening
processes he is undergone in prepa-
ration for sea duty causes his body
to consume fuel faster than he can
supply it.
Chaplain Frazier at the Norfolk
training station asked class if they
found the navy to be as they had pic
tured it before they enlisted.
81 never knew sailor drilled with
an army rifle and learned to operate
land artillery" said one 81 thought
sailor only climbed rope ladders
and helped fire the big guns on bat
tleships."
81 never thought I'd have to do my
own washing" said another.
In the navy a boy is put through
much the same course of training he
would receive in the army, and ther
he is taught all about the operation
of boats and battleships and torpedo
boat destroyers.
"You can see why you should be
good at drill and experts with rifles
and small arms" said Frank R. Lytle
our instructor, soon after he tool
charge of us.

ment of soldiers along to hold town:

the main thrill came in an airplane attack

any other

he said, without awarding any individual
verdict. Air fighting is about as thrilling a
matter as one could expect to find But don't
forget the thrill that comes to the infantry
when one starts over the top. That has a
bit Of kick in it. too. And there is still
another phase The man working a machine
gun in the face Of a rugged assault also
has his share Of the thrill allotment. IT is
up TO him in the main to smash this as
sault and, unless he does..there Is generally
but one answer. As he sees the front lines
melt away before his fire. with new lines
crashing on ! should say that he faces
about all the excitement one human heart

It's shame the way Ty Cobb has con-
tinued to slip. He has only been batting

heat may have accounted in part for this
