TURNED VESSEL INTO SHOP
ingenious Idea Appreciated by the
Sailors Of the British Grand Fleet
Stationed at Scapa Flow.

One of the secrets of the war was
revealed recently when party went
down to the Victoria docks, London, to
inspect the Wilson liner BOrodlno. This
ship was chartered In the early days
of the war by the Junior Army and
Navy Stores for the purpose of sup
plying the sailors of the grand fleet
with comforts and luXuries that they
would otherwise have had to do with
out. One of the sea lords at the be-
ginning OF the war, when the grand
fleet was keeping Its vigil In Scapa
flow, recognized that the officers and
men needed something 10 relieve the
dVllness of existence while waiting
for the German fleet to come out.
The suggestion was adopted, and the
BorOdino turned into most effective
shop. Almost anything could be
bought on board, while there was
fine laundry with a weekly collection
and delivery, ana n BARRIERS shop. Five
thousand dollars u week was taken by
the sale of goods, including penny bars
Of chocolate, greatly favored by young
midshipmen. The latest In fancy
soaps, shaving creams, new books, the
finest chocolates, and an abundance OF
fresh meat, fish and vegetables helped
to make life more bearable In the cold
and dismal surroundings of Scapa.
