SANCIENT CUSTOM
No One Knows Who Originated
the Ground Robin"
Long In Use on shipboard for Deter.
mining Each Sailors Watch-often
Employed In the Form
Of Petition.

That watch kept on board ship at
night. while lying at anchor, is called
the anchor watch. Generally speaking
it consists of M officer and one sea-
man, whose duties are to watch out for
the safety of the ship, see that the
anchor light is kept burning brightly,
and take care that the vessel does not
drag her anchor. If there are eight
hours of darkness to be covered and
eight men constitute the crew, these
men r required to watch one hour
each. If there be more or less men
the question arises who is to go on
watch first or last, or, perhaps who
is to "lay over' until the next day.
1t thus becomes necessary to ascer.
tain who Is to 60 on duty at a GER
tain hour and each man must know
when his turn comes. Arrangement
for this is made by forming a round
robin" or putting it in another way,
by "chalking for Watches" which is ac-
complished in such a way that each
sailor has the time for keeping his
watch determined by lot, one not be-
ing favored more than another. The
thing is decided in this way:
One mar draws a large circle on
the lid of a chest, or, If that is not con.
venient, the deck. The circle is SUBJ
divided into as many divisions as there
are men; and each man makes his
mark in n of the spaces. This may
be a cross, a circle, a triangle, or any
other sign that will suffice to identify
him.
During the time the sailors are
placing their marks within the division
of the circle, one of their number is de-
tanned outside on deck and kept in
ignorance Of the identity of any au-
thor of any mark. When all have
made their marks the round robin is
complete. The man who was on deck
Is now called, someone else having
made a mark for him. This man now
proceeds to erase the marks, one by
one. The owner Of the marks are
numbered from number n up, in sue
cession, as he grasses them, and their
numbers are chalked up on the sides
of the berths; those above number ten
lying over until the next night. AS the
man who grasses the marks does not
know who made this or that, he can
not show any partiality.
The round robin is sometimes put to
other use when the crew of a vessel
at sea wish to present a grievance in
the form of a petition to the captain.
Their complaint is made out in writ
ing, and the signature put in the form
of a round robin, which prevents the
writer Of the document from being
singled out and treated, as a ringlead-
er, with undue severity. A famous case
in example Of similar use Of the round
robin in the army within recent times
was the Roosevelt Round Robin" dur.
ing the Spanish war.
Where the custom originated no one
knows.

There are some heavy cotton crepes,
in all the attractive colors of silks,
that will prove interesting as substi-
tutes for wool frocks, when the time
arrives to get school clothes ready.
All dresses r simply made, with
fancy stitching and French knots, or
very simple embroidery providing their
meager decorations. White organdie
collars, and sometimes u~ndersleeves of
%organdie. prove a means of freshening
up these childish frocks.
