SOMEWHERE IN SICILY, August, 1943.—Before closing this series about the navy I want to tell yout of one member of our ship's crew who didn’t make the invasion trip with us. She was the ship's
dog, and this is the story of her and her master. - : He is a regular navy man, a oy chief petty officer of many years’ service. He is tattooed, windburned, a bachelor, and quietly profane. His officers say he is an excellent worker. I'm not giving his name because the story concerns his getting drunk. It seems that several months ago some sailors from our ship picked up ‘a German shepherd puppy. She belonged to the whole crew, but the puppy took to our friend and he took to it, and sort of by acclamation she became recognized as his dog. The puppy grew. into a beautiful dog, smart, alert and sweet. But when hot weather came along she got the mange. Our friend doctored it with everything he could find,” and other sailors helped him with the doctoring, but still the mange got worse. They finally clipped her hair close so they could get medicine to her skin more thoroughly, but nothing did any good. When they hit the last port before leaving Africa my friend told me he went ashore and searched the country for a French or American army veterinary, but couldn't find any.
In His Own Way
WHEN I CAME aboard ship this beautiful dog was frisky and alert but the sailors had given up all hope of curing her. Something had to be done. The other sailors left it up to our friend. Whatever he chose to do had their approval. He told me later that you couldn't just put her ashore, for she had grown up aboard ship and wouldn't know how to take care of herself on land. So our friend solved it in his own way, the morning after I came aboard. He didn't ask anybody to help him, or tell anybody what he was going to.do. He just tied a weight around her neck and let her down into the water. That was her end-—in the tradition of the sea. I heard about it a few hours later, and stopped by the rail to tell our friend I was sorry. He couldn't talk about it. He just said “Let's go below and have a cup of coffee.”

Moses. . , . Ed Ax, of the U. 8. Rubber Co. employment office, called us to ask the standard abbreviation for 12 midnight.
We both agreed that 12 M.—short for Meridian—stood for noon, but we couldn't figure it out for midnight. We couldn't even find it in the dictionary, so we phoned the library reference department, They looked it up in Hutchinson's “Standard Handbook for Secretaries,” and found we were wrong about noon. The abbreviations, according to the handbook, should be: 12 N., for neon, and 12 Mid. for midnight, Now go ahead and argue about it. . . . Incidentally, Ralph Eliott, one of The Times’ composing room machinists, says we were a bit juvenile in getting excited over an electric clock running backward. Many of them will, if you turn the knob the wrong way in starting them, he says. Now that we've told this, the clock repairmen probably will be swamped with electric clocks knocked out of kilter by folks experimenting with them. . , | Waller L. Scott, of Franfort, read John Hillman's column the other day about the efforts to find “a place where Berlin, Ind, used to be.” He adds: “About a quarter mile west of the Tipton-Clinton couniy line on State Road 28 is a crossing that on™ was a thriving little trading post known as Berlin. (The accent was on the first syllable.) The land still is described on the tax duplicates as ‘blocks and lois in the town of Berlin’ but nothing visible remains of the village.” Mr. Scott “said his grandlather told him the town once served as a trading center for eastern Clinton and western Tipton esunties, before the toming of the railroad.

World of Science
PLANS ARE NOW being fdrmulated by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis for the annual “March of Dimes" Ampagn which will be held from Jan. 14 to 31. How important the coming cainpiiim is, can be if determined quickly from the fact - that the nation has just gone through the second worst epidemic of infantile paralysis in its history. The epidemic of 1944 was second only to that of 1016. As a result of it, the nation now has in excess of 15000 new victims of the discase in need of treatment in varying degree because of the after effects of the disease. During the past summer the National Foundation and its local chapters spent over $1.000.000 on direct relief and medical care in the areas where the disease became epidemic. In many rural areas, emertency hospitals were set up and doctors and nurses rushed to the scene, ’ As Dr, Don W. Gudakunst, medical director of the National Foundation, points out, no effort was spared to see that every victim of the disease got the best HYDE PARK, Sunday.—Yesterday I accompanied my husband on his trip around New York.

given a light suspension of privileges. At lunch the boys were kidding him about it and he said, well hell, he wasn't sore about it, for obviously they had tq do somgihipg to him,
‘So That Was It
THAT EVENING I happened to be sitting with the officer who had sentenced our friend, and just to make conversation I mentioned that it was sad about the dog being gone. He sat up and said, “What!” : I said yes, the dog was gone. He said, “My God!” And then he said: “He's one of the best men on the ship, and IT knew something was wrong, but I tried for half an hour to get it out of him and he wouldn't tell me.” The officer sat there looking as though he was sick, and again he said, “So that was it! My God!” By the end of the first week after the Sicilian invasion there was almost no indication of warfare along our beach front. The German radio told us every night that we were getting bombed, but actually a stultifying peace had settled over us. Hour by hour we could feel the ship slide back into her normal ways. The watches were dropped down to “Condition Three,” which is almost the peacetime regime. The ship's laundry reopened for the first time in weeks. Movies were borrowed and shown after supper. The wearing of white hats became optional once more. The men went swimming over the -side, and fished with rod and reel from the forecastle head. The captain had time on his hands and played gin rummy with me when I got worn out with writing. Finally liberty parties were let ashore for sightseeing, I knew then that the war, for our little family in this special phase, was over. So I shouldered my barracks bag and trundled myself ashore in Sicilly for good. These few weeks with the navy were grand, and I hated to part from the friends I had made. Too, this taste of civilized living had been a strange delight, and yet for some perverse reason I seemed to look forward to going back to the old soldiers way of sleeping on the ground and not washing before breakfast and fighting off fleas, Man is a funny creature,

The note wound up with: “The current question is how deep is a fathom, so be sure to print the answer.” We smartcracked: “For 2 cents, we would, Smarty.” Well, sir, when we opened a letter in the mail yesterday, out rolled two pennies. Inside was a note from J. G. Moflitt: “In Inside Indianapolis you said you would print the answer to how deep is a fathom, for 2 cents. Here is your 2 cents. Print it.” We can't back out now, so here's what Webster says: “A full stretch of the arms in a straight line . , © , (obsolete), A measure of length containing 6 feet or, formerly, sometimes 5'¢ or 5, feet; the space to which a man can extend his arms.” If the radio quizzmaster phones you some noon and asks the length of a fathom, just read him this. And if you're wrong, youll have the satisfaction of knowing that so is old man Webster's Interpational. Next time, we, won't offer to do something “for 2 cents.” We'll make it more, We'll never make our fortune with pennies,
