Many officers wear head sets themselves and connect with any place where they want to listen in and hear what the orders are and what is going on.

Most welcome is the two-toned gong and bugle which calls men and officers to mess.. Ship buglers blow the customary calls for rising and lights out- and flag ceremonies.

; Day-to-Day: Troubles Carrying out the seagoing apart-meft-house idea, the "usual day-to~ day troubles develop aboard. This

is particularly true of a shakedown cruise, for that is the purpose of it

For instance, there are the commonplace problems of calling the plumber or getting the laundry and the like. Although quartered in the guest cabin of the admiral’s suite, our hot water taps went awry. Such things are in charge of the ship’s first lieutenant, who handled what is called “damage control.” . A sailor-plumber came promptly and restored the hot water service. But what happened? Then the cold water faucet stopped. It was enough to give one nostalgia. Odd as it may sound, the man in charge of the laundry was putting out the same explanation for delay as do civilian laundrymen-—he couldn't get the help.

But on a battléship, under simu-

lated battle conditions, there are S50 many. orders to take battle sta-

tipns that the men assigned to laun-

rdry work could not sary on a

steady job. In addition there are the usua

mysterious disappearances of pieces from the laundry, which will always remain a trade secret, even aboard

a battleship. One department of this grea

battleship is far better off than

the "average civilian situation. Tha is the medical and dental depart-

ment. They have five highly skilled’ and even specialized doctors and

three dentists. Also there is the las!

word in modern ‘equipment for

treatment of all sorts of cases.

[There is a staff. of 35 hospital corpsmen, including druggists, laboratory and X-ray experts. The sick bay hospital ward rooms all are air-conditioned and they are below ‘deck far enough so that the 16-inch gun shooting scarcely is

Single Vine Bears Big Pumpkin Crop

WHEN ONE VINE gets 250 pounds or more on it, it ain't hay, it's some pumpkins. That's what Mr, and Mrs, W. L. Atwell, 1452 W. 34th st., have on a vine in their*Victory garden. It seemed appropriate to leave

them out until after Halloween but the pumpkins are ripe now and ready for picking. That should make an awful lot of pie.

By Science Nérvice WASHINGTON, Nov, 6—A terris fying new six-pound oil bomb, known as the M69, is credited with ¢ | creating a fire that all but destroyed the northwest section of the city of Changsha, China, now occupied by tthe Japanese, the first time it was put into use, last July. Landing in the streets and on roof tops, the bomb spits chunks of

No Bigger Than Ball Bat The new bomb, developed by the chemical warfare service, consists of a slender six-sided steel case 19 inches long and no bigger around than a baseball bat, The center portion of the- cylinder holds & blend of gasoline and a thickening compound similar to that used in army flame-throwers,* In about five seconds after the bomb lands, a delayed action fuse spits out.
