SIXTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. November 22, 19S6 35 be3 O On The Side By E. V. OURUNG (Distributed by King Feature Syndicate. incJ . I sailed the bounding main in tle Good Ship United States, the speed champion of the world and rightly referred to as "the first lady of the sea." The ocean was usually calm as a park lake on. a summer afternoon. How ever, it was not like that for one night. At that time were were o hovering in the vicinity of a e harricane. The sea was a bit rough. Nothing serious develop ed. Commodore John W. Ander son, out skipper, by an increase of spied and switching of course cleverly dodged the hurricane. That was an outstanding feat of navigation. . Four Factors The accomplishments of the S. S. United .States as to speed are well known. The question frequently arises: How does the ship fate as to those highly im portant factors in a transatlantic ocean liner trip namely: comfort, cuisine, courtesy and consider ation? The answer is that the United States rates 100 per cent on all four. One of the chief reawns for this is that there is not a man in the crew, in any department, who docs not take pide in his work and in the ship. I have never seen a more all-?ut desire to please on any ship. on wTitch I have traveled. Te The- culinary department of the. S.S. United States is bril- olianUy handled. I gave it the i'Blouet test" the first morning s aboard. This test originated by Max Blouet, manager of the Hotel George V in. Paris, calls fof asking to have an egg boiled in t certain .way: That is, as to minutes of boiling, etc. If the. egg is served boiletf exactly as ordered, it is an indication that i the culinary department is in the groove. The receiving of eggs boiled otherwise than ordered is 1 said to have been more damag-; ing to the reputation of hotel ; and restaurant cooks than any ther factor. The eggs I receiv 9 ed on tht ship were exactly as ordered. Horses and1 Women Among our ship's crew there raere some very conscientious students of the subjects of horses and women. They have had the opportunity to pursue their siitdies all over the world and have made the most of it. One of the crew informed that he was in a place in Hamburg. Ger many, that specialized in taking bets on sports.. You can bet there on a spctrts event taking place iji any part of the world. My injocmant said that while visit- ing this Hamburg establishment, che placed a bet on a race being run in. 'Jamaica, Long Island, U.S.A. CaJa The "Gala" always held the night before the last one aboard was very gay". At dinner caviar and champagne were among the " features. The dancing was very spirited. A-Meyer Davis orches tra furnished the music and its rhnhm was suth thsrt if made fvery man on hand feel he was ji anther Kred "Asfaire. Tnere is fluite5 an assemblage of beautiful fetnales aboard. They presented .qusla pleasing spectacle in for rrial attire. Binro . Lhit a fclngo Jackpot. This was s Just hick. There is a system for ; bingo but I wasnlt rising it. This s e system is based on the selection of the card. Italls for a highly Involved mathematical calcula tion based on the laws of prob- ability. I .have neves tried to i master it. After all. I have de veloped a system for breaking even on the horses and that I , figure) is enough in the wagering line frir a mart to accomplish in lifetime. Dining The dinner menu of the S. S. "Untied States lists from 110 to 3 125 different items. The quality s f thefwd and the service is equal ttfthe top grade New York restaurant. From an average menu I have selected a dinner You scheck on what it wouid cost irt a high class restaurant: 0 9 Caviar, bWque of lobster, filet of dover sole, sirjoin steak, bak- ed pottfl. peas, cauliflower, to- mato salad, bfscuit tortoni and coffee. . 0 J 1 Wactfbrd Sfurens on Committees at UO jfemorial union student com mittees were selected this term.
