C, R I' A T LAKHS, 111, ?ept.

Music plays no small part in the day's routine for the training of the, Ameri' an man-o'-war's man at the j Great Lakes training station. From I reveille at o'clock eery mornincrj until taps at ? o'clock at nU'ht. the j day is full of hucle-Mown tune?. , each hainp a different meaning; which must he quickly under.-toodi if the recruit is to become an era- . cient seafaring man. To make mat-i

ters more ditticult there are the j " boatswain's piped calls, sounding t

much to the untrained ear like a -

corner peanut tand whistF, each j int'ection of the piie means that a -certain action is to he carried out. j Now not every sailor-to-be i.s i musically inclined, and the problem

of teaching the l.",f00 bluejackets in training to recognize the many calls on piie and hu'le is something of a problem. 10." Hi fTrrcn t Calls.

There are 103 different calls plsy- j ed by the snjps buglers, and 1 c, j different piped commands with j which the r cruit must familiarize j Hmself. Kvcry one of the "ta-do-dna's" must necessarily be under- j stood, and at once, if ( tticiency is to j

be maintained. Jackie must learn that "te-da te-daa" mans attention and not "squads left", which is "fc-de-de -de-taa". or "toodle-de-doo". which means "knock off brichtwork". Vhen the boatswain pipes "stand by your scrub and wash clothes", lie mut Unmv that it docs not signify "lieht srnokin lamp", the only difference being a tongued trilling of the pipe.

j A number of naturally unmusical j jackies who seemed never to be ! able to master the c alls were recentj ly assigned to take music lessons j every nicht for two weeks. At th

end of that time there was not one hut whose car was trained to recopnizo the musical commands, not only increasing his rtticiency as a fmhtinc man. but training his aesthetic self as well.
