He has had some very bitter ex-

him cautious. One man who helped
him in days of great rush just after
we declared war stole $50 of his best
designs and departed TO some other
coast TO set out his shingle and bes
gin the decoration of the overseeing
tattooes-United States sailors. An

Inspection Means
A Twelvc-Mile Walk

The officer Of the day, wearily max
ing the last inspection of the night,
buttons his topcoat more closely and
wishes he could smoke. The sentries
of that half-light period are conscious
OF a friendly thrill at the approaching
footsteps and are prompt TO present
arms and respond to the gruff queries
concerning the details of their un-
eventful watch. The officer covers
twelve miles in his nightly rounds.
For officers and men alike guard duty
of this sort is, perhaps, the most try
ing to nerve and health of any task
which may be allotted them. Cold,
foggy dampness. thick with coal SCOT;
rats, darkness and the constant ten
sion and alertness necessary at so vital
a junction in the arteries of our mi
grating forces combine to tax the men
to the utmost.
The CLEAN of match or sudden
sound and a shrill whistle calls a de-
tachment to prowl through the slime
and mud between the green coated
piles beneath the docks, where slip
on the moss-covered planks means sick
ening immersion and perhaps death in
the tanging filth of the river deposits
which the current sweeps aside.

allows no man credit. To be sure, he
can remove the tattoo by secret proc
ess. but il takes about twelve days 10

A tattooer to be really successful
must first of all be an artist, creator
of designs which will make the heart
of every blessed sailor lad envious

more which mean that design is flesh

He Obliterates Stigma
Of German Flags

One very interesting thing is the
work which William Chandler has been
"doing over" Since we entered the war
he has removed more than $50 German
flags from United States sailors and
put the Stars and Stripes in their
place. Since tattooing is not painless
| though William Chandler calls the SEN
sation the ink-dipped electric needles
| give "tickling"-it shows some spirit of
endurance on the part of the youth OF
our navy and no pacifist leanlngs'
I These same youths are pressing Will

! for their initials or names tattooed on
I their arms, and the names Of the cities
and states from which they come. he

a very few minutes, and calls day lost
when he has not had forty to nifty
professional calls.
Tattooing is a remunerativs art.

Though William Chandler is the
worlds most famous tattooer and
counts among his friends the worlds

only tattooer in our midst. There are
thirteen professional tattooing artists
on the Atlantic Coast. Four are in New
York and Brooklyn at present. Other
towns are less favored. Boston has two
Philadelphia two, Newport two, Norfolk
two and Charleston one.

Regulars From Border
Guard Big Transport

The present port of embarkation
guard is composed of a battalion of in
fantry of the regular army, which was
assigned to this post after seven years
of service on the border. II is believed
that they will eventually be relieved by
@ new organization, which will be COM
posed Of drafted policemen and fremen
Of New York City.
The men are afraid of nothing that
has swearing, human substance, and
they are not superstitious; but the
shadow of the big ship. the weirdly hu-
man moods Of her and her size eat into
q mans consciousness-espec when
he can't smoke.
A few of the man-mads wonders of
the world are of the type which fill the
eye and magnetic from every view
point. So this captive Goliath OF ours
looms over the docks and towers above
the tallest building of the square mile
town" alongside. Every phase of sun
or moon light casts her great shadow
athwart one Of her docks, packed with
a million discarded frills and furHa-
lows.
Tapestries, rare rugs, fragile china
and heavy crockery, glassware, carved
panellings, pianos, silverwsre are care
essly stacked together and closely
guarded-many hundred tons Of finery
the big shadow wanders restlessly
over them like a woman's thoughts
haunting her ball gowns.

understood that these designs are the
most popular ones among the men of
the navy. The flags are tattooed upon
the chest; the butterfly is usually found
there also, though butterflies are be-
coming in shoulder decorations. The
sailor bracelet goes where its name
would signify, the bathing girl on the
leg or back. The rope, eagle and U. 3.
n. is the first design chosen by the
apprentice seamen, who learn to tie
that kind of knot first of all things.
There are many other designs. Japan
has influenced the trade considerably.
Dragons and snakes, in grotesque
shapes, or combined with flags, show
japanese influence on this art. Italy
and her artists have had a still greater
influence upon the choice of subject.
Religious designs; pictures Of the
Madonna and Child, of st. Joseph,
of Christ on the cross, are often the
choice of Catholic men. Then there
are every other kind of subject imagin-
able, from Hands Across the Sea"
and Faith, Hope and Charity" to
marine scenes, horses heads and roses.
Tradition has established certain
customs for tattooing. Thus 1t is that
crab is frequently found on the ankle
of the men who sail the seas; pig on
the top of one foot, as a reminder OF
the great navy dish-pork and beans; a
rooster on the top of the other foot, to
signify two bells, or a. m, the hour
when the navy begins its day. These
designs are applied in five minutes, and
cost a dollar apiece. They are the
cheapest Of all designs and universally
used Prices run up to S75, for which sum
William Chandler will tattoo fasci-
mating dragon across ,the back and
around the sides of any man rich
enough to afford this luxury and pain.
After a bluejacket has rounded the
cape" he is entitled to have high on his
chest an eagle holding the United
States flag in its talons.
| understand that nowadays this de-
sign is being used by the new men
even before they have been TO sea. But
they are boys, enlisted to fight for their
country, not sailors in the sense the
men of yesterday were sailors. The
traditions of the navy have not got
them yet.
