Navy to The Rescue

On February 10, when the U. S.
heavy cruiser Louisville was lea
wing the harbor of Sidney, Aus
trailia, the usual crowds of our
friendly cousins were present to
bid a fond farewell to their newly
made friends in the U. S. Navy.
Every type of craft conceivable
was packed with men, women and
children waving their hats, hand
kerchiefs and scarfs at the men
on the big 10000 ton cruiser SLOW
ly steaming out through the beau
tiful island-studded harbor, and
heading for the open sea.
But tragedy marred her males
tic departure. The ferry boat, Rod
ney was packed with passengers
and when many of them rushed
to one side, to better e the Am
erican cruiser, disaster followed.
The Rodney capsized, throwing
men, women and children by the
scores overheard and seventy-two

more pleasure than to have a U.
S. Navyman home for tea. In our
country we usually associate tea
with a light afternoon luncheon
consisting of tea, cookies, cakes,
etc., but the country down there
it Is quite a different affair. Tea
there consists of three or four diff
erent kinds of cold meats, potato
salads, cookies, two or three diff
ferent kinds of cakes, hot and cold
tea, ale (beer in America), and all
the rest that goes to make a
bounteous feast.
The "Aussies" are past masters
of the art of conversation. The
many questions they have to ask
concerning the great and rich
country of America leaves the visi-
tor little time to think of the
strangeness of his surroundings.
The ravages of the World War
thinned out the male population
considerable, consequently there
are many more women than men.
The average "Aussie" girl thinks
that the American sailor is a
mighty fine "catch." During the
last U. S. fleet visit to Australia in
1925, $50 sailors married Austral-
ian girls. Uncle Sam chartered a
special boat for their first trip to
the land where every family owns
a car, where everyone dresses
neatly and extensively, and where
the standard of living is higher
than in any other country in the
world.
Radio Work
The Navy maintains two schools
for the training of radio opera
tors, INT at the Naval Training
Station, Norfolk, Va, and the
other at the Naval Training Sta
ton, San Diego, Cal.
With radios on every ship in the
Navy and scattered all over the
globe, the Navy has greater OPP
portunities than ever for the alert
young man who wants TO listen
in" on the world and to see some
of it's sights at the same time.
