PLANNING- MENUS FUN FOR ENSIGN
James Marr Writes Parents of Experiences While Feeding
Boat Crew in the Absence of the Commissary Steward
A life on the ocean wave seems to
unit Enslen JamM Marr r.
irom Newport Xews on February 12
for Copenhagen. Denmark, with ?
cargo of flour. The ship he is on
th Dall. is the second largest thl
taken over from the Dutch and will
be returneJ to Jis origninal o wner?
on this trip. The vessel Is 461 feet
Ipng. Ensign Marr expects to re
turn to America on one of the new
German ships and may have an op
portunity to stop In KnsHfh port
and visit relatives in that country
and in Scotland.
In a letter to his parents. Mr and
Mrs. John Marr of South Il h street
he writes as follows:
"I am right now sitting in my
room listening to the roar of the
ocean and the hum of the engine
and steam. Everything is pretty
quiet because we are anchored await
ing, new orders. Last night when
we pulled out from the coaling pier
to Newport News our orders were
for Barcelona, -Spain, first golng, to
Savannah. Georgia, for our cargo or
cotton. Friday night it was report
ed we were going to sail for Savan
nah and from their to .Liverpool. Thi
mnrnlnr th tifirtt aTnft aboard rlth
the dope that we were going to Gen
oa, Italy, and Just as we were wait
ing for orders to pull oujt, a motor
beat can:e out for the pilot and said
that other orders were expected ev
ery minute from Washington.
"I hrivc fcirdly been out on deck
to!iy, as Sunday is practically the
...line 13 an other dry to m now
I may tell ;-on what we had for
meals today. For breakfast: choice
of breakfast foods, baton and eggs
toast, coffee and biscuit1?. For din
ner: chicken and vegetable soup
roast chicken with boiled swvt po
tatoes, green pea?, dressing, canned
peit-hcs and three kinds of assorted
cookies. For supper: boiled fresh
ham. corn beef, baked epuds, cocoa
and pumpkin pie. Now how's that?
Gues none of yon had any better
chow than that yourselves. I fed
the crew chicken dinner also today
with sweet rpuds and pineapple. J
have the respect of all the officer?
and I .get along all right with tho
captain. One of the officers told
me j-esterday that 1 was the best pay
master who had been on this ship
vet. I hope I continue to keep on
good terms with them all
"I am the only paymaster and
head of supply department on board
The only other man who signs head
of a department is the chief engineer
and the captain signs in command
of course. Well, the officers want
to set wind proof suits, heavy boot
and other thing "that I have in my
care. I have a man in cnarge oi j
these thinss and issue when the old
one3 are worn out. so I sometimes J
have to turn them down.
"The commissary steward ""went
home for a week to New York. Just
now I have one of the cooks actine
but I have to arrange the menus.
Wish 1 had tfme to tell you what I
am feeding the bunch thl3 wee!:. 1
have been spenllng !ots of my tini?
lately chasing around navy yard?
md warehouses looking up supplies
1 gave one firm an order for $2j00
worth of cockies. candles, cigars
Hgarctts, ginger ale, Loju and ci
der. Now. you see I actually k au
boofting Loju.
"1 transferred one of my ch'pr
yeomen yesterday and now have
very SCPd force of men. One fel
low does nothing but take dictation
and write my letters and keep the
Men in shape, another handles the
pay accounts and another helps on
pay and requisitions. One of. mv
storekeepers handles the canteen and
clothing that I sell. The other han
dles the supplies, such as paint, sho
vels, rubber boots and stuff like that
Another handles the Issues to the
cooks, such as meat, canned "fruit
atigar ind the like.
"I ave $17,000 in cash in my lit
tle safe and I guess I can stand it
for a little while. I am sitting with
one fot resting on the safe now-
Take Hood's
Sarsaparilla
Create Appetite, Give Strength
Yesterday I took one of my chief
yeoman and a couple of revolvers
and drew a check for $10,000 and
broUKht Lack the coin to the ship all
right." ,
A letter written a few days later
told of Mr. Marr's sailing.

Rues Suspended and Senate
Casts Unanimous Vote
Favoring Paving Prober
After the roads and highways com
mittee had reported favorably yester
day on house bill 453, requiring the
attorney general to investigate. th
validity of alleged paving patents
the bill was put on final passage un
der suspension of rules and passed
by a unanimous vote. The measun
'authorizes the highway commission
to use the material on which patent
are claimed if the patents are found
invalid and the attorney general I?
required to defend the commission
in any suits that may arise. An em
ergency is declared.
Chairman Orton of the highway
commission explained tnat he de-
aired the bill passed to clean the at
mosphere for the bonding bill which
was a special order for 2 o'clock thi
afternoon.
"I am happy," said.Orton. "to an
nounce that the committee is unani
mous in its agreement on this bill
Senator Moser declared that th
bill, together with the Patferson
Ritner resolution, would "would give
the highway commission suVh a cinch
that no one need fear any irregular
operation by the paving trust."
Senator Huston, in opposing the
bill, said he believed the validity of
the Warren Construction company's
pavement had' been established In
court. Senator Strayer cited a parti
cular case and told Huston if he
would study the case he doubtless
would change his mind.
