A picture of the brig, trial by eourt, dishonor, ali faced Fried at the time of his lesson in discipline. It everlastingly curbed his tem- per: he learned obedicncy, what- ever the hardship. By CAPT. GEOR: FRIED (Copyright, 1929, Associated Press) | |ing to b CHAPTER 1V Learning to toe the mark was ever a difficult experience for me. I learned the rudiments of disci- pline in the Army. but 1 had more t a therough training when I en- isted in the Navy. Sometimes it is ther difficult to receive orders onstantly and obey them. There is a routine the Army anid Navy have outlined for their men. [This routine is. of course, inter- pted by special orders and com- nands. They must be carried out, nd it is not unusual for a superior fficer to issue orders that are an- oying to the recipient. Early in ny career 1 learned to follow all 'ommands and to question none. Nevertheless, 1 cannot say that 1 ave never been disciplined for an nfraction of regulations, and T re. 1l my only experience when I was n Gibraltar. At that time T was board the Hartford. We got into bort early, and my first duty was o reef off the signal halyard on he end of the topsail yard arm, Iy rank was that of a quartermas- er. While T was aloft launch happened to cor i was busy and] naturally 1 did not e the approaching launch.

Wish- alert, 1 immediately made the rwort to the officer and to my surprise in “hawled out.” The officer stated that I should have known better than te think that this unch with a torpedo was comi ongside an American ship. He right. 1 felt rather disappointed, and then and there began to that if T were to con- tinue in my rank I must improve in some way. While T was debating whether 1 Licked ability to g aheud a Ger- man passenger ship passed and dipped her colors. T ran aft to lower our colors, and on my way forward to the bridge Cipped three times.

I felt that 1 everything possible in attendance to my duty and that there was 1o inattention or neg- lect on my part. I explained to the doing my best. ot. T took excep- and spose harshly, perhaps. He reported the incident to the captain, and I was summoned be- fore the mast, 1 was really fright- ened then. T could picture myself in the brig. dishonorcd. | | { i | l I Court was held.

Everyoneisdoingit—men keep healthy and fit, women retain a trim figure. Lucky Strike, the finest tobaccos, skilfully blended, then toasted to develop a flavor which is a delightful alternative for that craving for fatten- ing sweets. Toasting frees Lucky Strike from im- purities. 20,679 physicians recognize this when they say Luckies are less irrls tating than other cigarettes. That's why folks say: “It's good to smoke Luckies.” Authorities attribute the * enormous increase in Ciga- rette smoking to the improvement in the process of Cigarette manufacture by the application of heat, It is true that in the year 1928, Lucky Strike Cigarettes showed a greater increase than all other Cigarettes combined. This surely confirms the public’s confi- dencein thesuperiority of Lucky Strike. “It’s toasted” No Throat Irritation-No Cough.
