Abe Foltz in Butte passes along a letter from Fred Thomas of Billings describing the Navy cafeteria system aboard ships. On large vessels six messes for 20 men each line up at serving tables, while on older ships food is in containers with servers at tables. Sailors carry trays to mess tables with cutlery, beverages in suspended pots, and signs show bill of fare and allowable dishes. The system uses more gear but is preferred by the crew.
