KERBY, (Ne A. Staff Correspondent.) The largest navab training station in the ld is located up here on Lake M gan, water. In it are more than 45,000 sailors learning every braush of navy work, Most of them have never seen the ocean. I have been living the life gf a navy House? 00 miles from salt! {rookie for one day. This middle wesi- ‘ern farming country, from which has |, been drawn the men trained at Great Lakes, has already furnished 150,000 men to the navy, nearly twice as many as there were in the regular wher we went to way. In April. 1917, the Great Lakes station had buildings and equipment enough to house 1500 . The Branch House is the place in the packing organ- ,ization where what the packing plant does for you is put where you can use it. Both are the natural result of growth and development in the living thing they belong to. Swift & Company Branch houses are located in distributing centers ali over the country. They are fitted out equipment to keep meat cool, sweet and fresh. with refrigerating Each one is in personal charge of a man who believes in what Swift & Company is doing for people and wants to help do it. They are directed by men who have spent years-learning how to get better meat cheaper to the places where it is needed. Meat is shipped to the branch houses direct from the. packing plants in Swift & Company’s refrigerator cars, in such quantities that it can be. disposed of while fresh and sweet. ‘Yoar: meat dealer comes here to ‘buy your medt for you— unless someone else can treat him better than we can. So you need the branch house in order to live well; and the branch house and the packing plant need each other, in order to be useful to you. . Swift & Company, U.S. A. _ {in addition. men. Today it houses 45,000, and it has had as many as 48,000. The station is one vast school, with a large number of technical courses, varied with a lot of outdoor drill and physical exercise, and with more per- sonal attention paid individual stu- ents than is the case at many col- leges. = A man who goes into the ndvy goes linto a particular branch, and his ed- ucation for that work begins at once. When a batch of recruits comes into Great Lakes each man carrier an iden- tification card. On arrival the men are marched into a big building lined with desks. They pass down the line, and when they are through, every | !record has been made, and all neces- sary instructions issued to them. The rookie signs ‘his clothing card, his permanent record card, receives a pay number, and makes out a ‘(relig- ious registration” card, which is turn- | ed over to the chaplains. Mentality Is Tested. Then he is marched to the ware- house, where he receives two towels, two blankets and a mattress cover. Next his company commander is call- ed, and he is. taken to his barracks, and shown where he is fo eat and sleep. Then his clothing is issued to him. Within 24 hours he is given a medical examination, vaccinated, “shot” with anti-typhoid, and has a throat culture taken. ‘For 21 days, he remains in the detention camp, a regiment in itself. Here he is given a psychiatric test !to determine his mentality. Of all the {men examined, about 10 per cent are} jheld for a full examination of their mentality, and less than ‘three-tenths of 1 "per cent of these prove mentally defective. 1 don’t know what a sailor's life at sea may be like, but on shore at the Great Lakes it is the healthiest kind of mixture of work and play. | The men live 48 to a barracks, 24 in each end. ,The barracks is divided into sleeping quarters, living quarters and scullery. each day to do mess detail—kitchen | work. I had a midday meal in barracks— | a big plate of. roast beef, baked pota- {toes, kidney beans, -gravy, bread and coffee. There are two meals like that, and a lighter breakfast. At one meal there is dessert also, and usually fruit The refrigerating plants | j carry a week’s supply of meat. I car-. | ried out my own mess kit, dumped the leavings into the garbage tin and piled up the “mess gear”’—not dishes—in the pans for the mess detail to wash. The rules require all mess gear to be boiled for 20 minutes. The balleys are so clean that half of the mess de- jtail must spend all its time scrub- bing them. m Laundry Is Dirt Cheap. Every barracks is fitted with shower with hot -and cold water—and Every regiment has a laundry all its own, run by a practical laundry- man. Most remarkable is the price at which Uncle Sam finds he can wash clothes. _ Any sailor can send as much laundry as he likes twice a week for 13 cents! This includes anything he wears but his blue cloth suit, and that he can get cleaned and pressed for 20 cents. And the laundries*make money at that! \ The regiments are composed of men who arg taking the same — courses. There are courses for coxwains, gun- ner’s mates, quartermasters, signal- men, cooks, hospital‘corps men, pale, ‘TO HOLDERS OF © LIBERTY BONDS Use your Liberty Bond Coupons : for the purchase of War Savings Stamps Your Interest.

There may h; been a time in the navy when’a “sailor's oath” was a fearful and wonderful reality, but it is not so now. The first rule a rookie learns is that cursing and obscenity are barred. Occasionally a man for- gets himself, and the doctor fixes him up a njce dose of soap, vinegar, and half a dozon other ingredients, which he is compeHed to holé in his mouth for a“given period and then gp with- out a drink of water'for half an hour. I didn’t hear an oath in camp. * This is the first war in which the navy has been organized into com- panies, battalions and regiments. But at the training station it is necessary. The men must learn the ordinary ar- my infantry drill: regulations first. The company commanders are picked from the ranks. The battalion com- manders are petty officers. The com- manding officer o fthe camp is merely a captain.—William A. Moffatt. Learn Sailor Tasks. Along with the~ marching and the manual of arms’ goes the sailor work in the ‘“Dluejacket’s' / manual”—the mysteries of the compass, the lead line, the parts of anchors, knot tie- ing and splicing, small boat drill, semaphore, wig wag and light sig- nals. Then the men who are to take special courses go to lectures and school. and drills.
