Later he drifted in front of @ navy recruiting office and “signed up.” He was sent to a training camp and within a few months landed on the West Virginia. There his educa- tion and discipline began. His first job was passing coal, He became an oiler, Then he learned to Tun a stationary engine. Subse- ently, he was in charge of the ice making machine. He learned @ great deal of refrigeration and then he was taught about electricity. He was taught how to mix concrete, to paint and do carpentry, In the mean time he was touring the world, He was in all the Buro- | ci pean ports and spent a year in China and Japan. When his “hitch” was over he was discharged in San Fran- cisco, He went to Southern Cali- fornia and started business for him- self, His first contract was to lay a concrete sidewalk.
