NAVAL TERMS

An argument arose the other day,
between a couple of petty officers on
duty at the naval recruiting station,
on the number of naval terms known
to the average man about town. Eor
the purpose of deciding the argument
they selected four naval terms and
asked business men in the vicinity of
the station what they meant.
"Quartermaster," according to the
prevalent idea, was a man who has to
do with supplies, and that sort of
thing" Really. in the navy, the quar-
te-master is an experienced signal
man and helmsman, with a slight
knowledge of navigation.
"Turret-captain" was recognized by
almost everyone as the title of the
nan in charge of turret, its gun and
crew. One man offered the idea that
a turret-captain steered the ship.
The expression "heave the lead"
was variously interpreted. One man
said that it had something to do with
getting up the anchor; another said
that it was something the engineers
did," while a third hit on the happy
thought that it was slang for "holding
target practice"-the lead being the
rrojectlles. For the benefit of those
whose nautical vocabulary is limited,
it may be explained that 'heaving
the lead" is the name given to the
operation of finding the depth of the
water by dropping over the ships side
q heavy weight attached to marked
line.
The masterpiece of the investiga-
ton was the query, what is the
Jack-of- of-the-Dust?" This evoked first
az "are you joking" expression, fol-
lowed by period of intense thought.
Then came a varied lot of replies:
''The man that sweeps around the
ship" "The man that cleans up
pipes" "The coal bin man." etc. One
opinion worth noting was that Jack
Of f-the-Dust was a flower. In reality,
this title is held by a seaman, assist
ant to the commissary steward aboard
ship, who has charge of the store
rooms in which canned goods and
other food supplies are kept. The
name has been handed down IN the
navy from revolutionary times.

MULTIPLICATION
AND NOT
RATIFICATION
President Asks Administration Sen
atOrs on the Treaty to
Stand Pat
(Associated Press

Washington, Nov. 19.-Letters from
President Wilson advising admins
t.ation senators to vote against rati-
fcation of the treaty with the foreign
relations committee reservations were
laid before a conference of admins
tration Senate forces today by Dem
ocrat.c Leader Hitchcock. The COM

rather for notification of the treaty"
The conference had been called to
decide upon the final administration
tactics in the fight for ratification,
which is expected to come to an end
today or tomorrow. After the presi-
dents letter was read, the indications
were that unless a compromise could
te effected, administration senators
would line uD almost solidly against
ratification.

OCALA AWOKE
ADMIRATION
OF Delegations of ROtarians From
Several of the Principal Cities
in the State

Rotarians from Jacksonville, Tam
pa. West Palm Beach and Gainesville
joined with the Ocala Rotes at din
ner last night at the Harrington Hall
to do honor to Truman McGill, Of
Selma, Ala, governor of the Eighth
Rotary District. 1t vas a jolly oc-
casion. The lobby of the Harrington
and the dining room resounded with
song and merriment. District Gov
ernor McGill is visiting all of the
clubs in the district, and the Florida
clubs are being visited by means of a
rotorcade. The motorcade started at
Jacksonville. Gainesville was the
next stop, where a luncheon was
served yesterday afternoon. Rotarians
from the several clubs join the motor
cade, going part or all of the way
around the circle.
Mr. McGill, accompanied by Jack
sonville, West Palm Beach and
Gainesville Rotarians. and a number
of the members of the Ocala club who
went down for the Gainesville lunch
con, motored here over the Dixie
Highway, arriving about o'clock. A
number of the Gainesville Rotes were
accompanied by their wives, and these
were joined by the wives of some of
the Ocala Rotes. Rotes from Tampa
joined the party here.
The feature of the evening was the
address of Mr.. McGill, who brought a
message to the Florida clubs from
Bert Adams, of Atlanta. international
president of Rotary. Besides bring
ing a message of Rotary, Mr.. McGill
stressed the fact that never has there
been a time when there was greater
reed than now for the banding to-.
gether of good men for "service-not
self" President Chace, of the Ocala
club, was POSTMASTER at the dinner.
A number of brief talks were made
by the visiting Rotarians. The Rotes
of Tampa and Jacksonville made
things merry at the expense of the
two cities.
The Gainesville Rotarians returned
home last night. This morning Dis
tlict Governor McGill and other visi-
tors were taken out to see Silver
Springs. Mr.. McGill, following the
trip out in the glass bottom boat, said
that the view of the springs was in
itself worth the trip to Florida.
The motorcade will meet with the
Lakeland club tonight.

SECOND DAY
At THE FAIR
With Better Weather and Increasing
Crowds, the Outlook is Eneourag-
ing to the Well-Wishers of the In
stitutiOn.

There is always q slender crowd at
the fair on the first day, and with the
scowiing weather of yesterday morn
ing, it is no wonder that comparative
iy few attended in the afternoon.
However, those who were present had
a pleasant time, and were we'll repaid
for going.
The community show in the Agri-
cultural Hall is the backbone of the
fair, and it alone is worth more than
Inc price of admission, and deserves
"a long and careful inspection. 1t is
proof positive, more convincing than
al inscription craven in marble what
Marion county can do in the way OF
providing the good and pretty things
of life. The hall is a whole fair in it.
self. The community exhibits ran
around in sequence. Beginning at the
light as you entered the door were
Eelleview and Gambler, Anthony,
Shady, Mcintosh. Martel, Lowell,
Summerfield, Pedro and Levon, Ken
drick and Fellowship. Too much
praise cannot be given to the people
of these communities for their enter
prise and good taste. The big table
IN the center of the room was heaped
ard stacked with the finest of pro-
ducts. The agricultural hall is proof
alone of the assertion the Star has
often made that the people of Marion
county could live and live well if their
county was an island in the midst of
an ocean.
The exhibit of Lee Priests farm
was also in this hall, and was a COM
mInity exhibit of its own, showing
what could be raised on one Marion
county farm. The best exhibit was
Lees good-looking wife, without
whom Lee says he couldn't have had
any show at all. We daresay the same
could be said of almost any success
ful farmer.
Out in the horticultural hall, there
was the display of the corn clubs,
and much cane, some flowers and cit
rus fruit. The cane display was of
special excellence. 1t was what you
Eaight call an overflow exhibit, be-
cause of all the articles shown. there
was already more or less of each in
the community exhibits.
This is children's day, and school
children fro mall over the county were
flocking in to see the fair. Most of
them were accompanied by their par
ents.
