The little tug hardly looks large
enough to chaperon a battleship, does
It? But then the tug ts a part of the
U. S. Navy too.
Size Isn’t always the moj»t impor

Navy Blacksmith Shop.
The village blacksmith sliop under
the spreading chestnut tree is for rent.
The smithy has gone to son to lenrn
some n<'w tricks of the trade in the
U. S. Navy schools.
Klacksmithing is now a highly
spec;al:z*'d iradi* in iron working. ()iu*e
a man mr.sters it he is sure of a
good living for life, either in or out
of the service.
A real interest in one's work is as
re<iessary in the Navy schools as in
others, Init Jack is paid to learn and
is sure of his j<-h as long as lie wants
it providing he Is In earnest.
The above photo shows a couple of
anvils <loing a big business at a Navy
Artificer School.
“ACEY-DOUCiE/
noiling the Bones.
No indeed, they’re not shooting
craps. They are playing “Ace.v-
Doucie,” a perfectely safe and sane
pursuit.
Wherever there are men of the
seas you will find a game of “Acey-
Doucie.” It’s one of the favorite di
versions of Uncle Sam’s sailors.
An “Acey-Doucie” tournament de
▼elops almost as much excitement as
a good stiff boxing match. If you
would be real salty you must iearu to
play it.

The Mascot of the Pacific
Fleet.
The proudest member of the Navy
with the Pacific Fleet is “Mick,” Ad
miral Rodman’s spaniel. From the
tip of his tall to the tip of his nose
"Mick” is k real sailor. The rougher
the seas come the better he likes It
“Mick” stuck his bead through a lito
ring, at the photographer's suggestion,

Some hotel! KverythJng at cost and done with the very finest equips
ment Join the Navy, and forget the tips.
Can you imagine a first class shave for a nickel, a hair cut for a dime
and a massage, sh^^mpoo, and all the trimmings in proportion?
It’s almost luxurious, and now that the electric potato peelers have come
in. Jack finds himself with a lot more time to improve himself. He doesn’t
need to wash his own clothes any more either, an electric laundry will take
care of them at a price which Is almost ridiculous.
This view of the busy barber shop on board one of the U. S. dread-
naughts will give us all some Idea of the way the men In the Navy live.
Only the best Is good enough for our sailors.
U.5. NAVY
With the Flee^
When you can look out over the stern of a big dreartnaught and 8C*e a
line of regular he-ships following in battle formation, you just can’t help
swelling up and letling <mt a couple of man-sized roars.
A fair sea, a good breeze, and a line of battleshipi! making fifteen to
twenty knots, j)resent the most inspiring sight any man can ask <^n thi.s earth.
Living with sucii experionees turns boys into men, gives th<*m a grip on
life, nuikes real st ’if of them. They work hard, they play hard, and we know
that, if necessary, tl ey cnn tight hard.
lA'arn about your wonderful Navy. Fe proud of It. It is respected by
every country in the world. And it is yotirs ; ev.-ry bit your Navy.
