Major Newman's looks belied his
age. He appeared more youthful

and pink. With his snappy overeeas
cap set at an angle on his head and
his jaUnty trench coat f1aring out
he looked many years on the safe

why IS A COBB
why is a sailor called a "Eob -

Why is a sailor called q "gob?"
Many officers and "gobs" in the
navy blue are scratching their heads
in a puzzled fashion as they ponder.
and all because
Yesterday afternoon q bewitchine
voice, presumably belonging to {
charming young woman, inquired OF
Tie Times by telephone as to the
why and wherefore Of "gob."
Immediate investigation OF this
momentous question through the rank
and file OF the Navy Department re-
vealed the folIowing-but wait
According to the dictionary, "gob"
has a meaning Of ''to talk boastingly;
to brag; gab-to COB up; to become
choked up, as a blast-furnace, when
chilled" and a slang meaning OF
"the mouth, a little lump or pieceI
mOuthful; a goblet"
With this calculating information
We turned to the Navy Department
A very obliging young woman in the
files room. after a long investigation,
reported: There were 2S5 'gobs' here
but none of them know-it is just
a nickname and probably don't mean
anything. How long have they been
called gobs? Oh, as long as there
have been any!
Lieut.. W. S. Hullhsh, OF the Bureau
OF Supplies and Accounts. obligingly,
n answer to the question, said:
II don't know don't think any
one really does. They wished II on
themselves. When I first came in
the service seven years ago ! heard
1t used, but it wasn't very common"
Now we leave IL up TO you. Why
are sailors called "gobs?"

.TOASK MONEY FOR
.T.R.MENORIAL HERE

Construction OF a great Roosevelt
memorial in Washington will receive
attention in the extra session OF Con-
gress.
It is probable the outcome will be
initial steps toward the construction
here OF q fitting monument or other
memorial. A classic, such as the
Lincoln Memorial, commends itself
to many. Others would erect Roose-
Velt monument or statue.
The Roosevelt Memorial Assoeia-
tion, OF which former President Taft
is an honorary president, has taken
up the subject. One of its plans for
keeping alive the fame Of Roosevelt
is a memorial in the National Cap
ital.
Senators Kellogg, johnson Of Cali
fornia, and Kenyon are named to take
q part in the affairs OF the associa-
tion. Senator Kellogg attended q re-
cent meeting OF the organization,
which has headquarters in New York.
Senator Kenyon, who went to New
York today to start on a brief visit to
Porto Rico. will consult with officials
OF the association.
Action by Congress at the coming
session Is likely to take the form
OF q measure authorizing q commits
sion to take charge OF the designing
and construction of a Roosevelt me-
mortal in Washington, and making
an appropriation for the purpose.
This course was taken with respect
to the Lincoln Memorial.
Admirers OF Colonel Roosevelt in
the Senate and House are so numer-
Gus. both among Republicans and
Democrats, that II is q certainty
there will be no stinting OF funds
for a memorial.
