Cup of
Joe Josephus Daniels (18 May
1862-15 January 1948) was appointed Secretary of the Navy by President
Woodrow Wilson in 1913. Among his reforms of the Navy were inaugurating the
practice of making 100 Sailors from the Fleet eligible for entrance into the
Naval Academy, the introduction of women into the service, and the
abolishment of the officers' wine mess. From that time on, the strongest
drink aboard Navy ships could only be coffee and over the years, a cup of
coffee became known as "a cup of Joe". |
