OFF. ■ i i i I H ' ' Recently professors and psychol ogists have had much to say re garding the "character’ ’revealed in a person’s “Doodles’’ — those un conscious little scrawls and scrib bles one makes on newspaper mar gins, telephone pads and the like. But in offering this entertaining series of ’’Doodle-bug” heads, w# claim no ulterior motive. We pre fer to think that most folks just "doodle" for fun! So go to It with a soft pencil, and see how many varied and amusing expressions and types you can create from the simple outline heads which will appear In this paper. Remember, It’s the latest pastime, and "Every body's Doodling It!” — /\ W SOLI I'lOH TO TOOAl 3 WORD SQL .HE BLEED RONDO OUTGO W I R E R NEEDS Naval Notes BELIEVE iT OR NOT ‘ Believe it or not, the phrase ‘Once in a Blue Moon’ is not just a whimsical saying used when ex pressing! any unusual happening but actually refers to a condition r f the moon which on rare occas ions assumes a bluish color. It was last reported by the British Navy in 1863. “Probably the longest flags used in the United Stales are the ‘Homeward Bounii’ pennants of the Navy. When a sh'n ha • served for more than a year on foreign duty, it flys the pennant on its return. The usual procedure is ta allow one foot e,f pennant far each man in the crew. The U. S. S. HOUS TON when returning from duty in the Asiatic Fleet, had a pen nant 575 feet long. “The U. S. S.

No glood.’ ” JUST A FEW LASHES ON THE BACK ‘ The Uucky Bag was originally in custody of the Marior-at-arms in which all articles of clothing, etc., picke<f up around the ship, were kept. Once each month, this bag was brought to the mainmast and the owners of the articles, if their names were on them, got them back with a few lashes on the bare back for their careless ness. The term ‘Lucky’ in this case, was sailor humor for ‘unfor tunate.’ “Only two major powers man their naval ships with volunteers —Great Britain and the United States. The others U3e conscrip tion. Enlistments in the British Navy are for twelve years, twice the new six year enlistment in our Navy. '•The United States Navy is the only Navy in the world that has in its possession a British royal standard taken by capture. This standard, now at the United States Naval Academy, was captured by Commodore Chauncey at York, Canada. “The bakers on the U.S.S. PEN SACOLA seem to have the right idea. Whenever a man on board has a birthday, he is automatically provided wnth an individual cake with the inscription ‘Happy Birth day to You’. The cakes are large size layer cakes and are provided for the lucky celebrant’s table at the evening meal. .. “James Fenimore Cooper, the novelist, was a midshipman in the U.S. Navy from 1808 to 1811 Most of his Naval service was un der Lawrence, in the WASP.” -0O0— NASHVILLE SCHOOL PRINCI PAL, 3 VETERAN TEACHERS, RETIRED ON PEISIONS Nashville, August 3 (ANP)— On the list of 24 teachers granted “honorable discharges” from ser vice last week by city board of education, were one principal and three teachers in the colored schools of Nashville.

Also retired was Nashville’s oldest colored teacher in point of service, Miss Lena Jackson, teacher of I,atin at Pearl high school, who had served the public school sys the city’s most highly respected tem for 53 years, and was one of members of the teaching force.
