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!”

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. CONSTITUTION,
Old Ironsides’, was in coma ission
for more than eighty years, dur
ing which time she never last her
Commanding Officer in battle, nev

“In 1907, when Pi sident The
odore Roosevelt sent our Battle
Fleet on that memorable tiip a

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

size layer cakes and are provided
for the lucky celebrant’s table at
the evening meal.
