li IP*-:;- WHO WAS WHO IN ATHLETICS We continue our list of comrades wtio made records in athletics before bey jumped into the argument be tween Hate and Justice. Many of the base .hospital men are so modest that It is only through their friends that S®*- b line on their Past careers. Here are a few more: ®:^bppy Towhsend played on wk bnd can get them bb both sides of him. nrn^l ^bs played with semi- a around Connecticut and has a nne “rep.” ^blzelle and Corporal Nlcoll also played with strong teams.

IN THE WARDS WARD C-7 Patient,-smelling sweet essence of Iodine. “Sir, will it burn much.” Lieu tenant Norris, “It may Tickle Some." Our patients are, in their moments (Under Either) as full of potentiali ties as an enemy infested munition factory. Say, did you ever’ notice how Imma culately Clean our ward is? Watch us hang out another flag next month. Sleepy, lining up the beds, “Back on the extreme left;” “out in the cen ter,” “Steady.” Oh he’ll be a top ser geant someday. Did you ever notice the landscape Engineers at work in front of C 7? D. M. Danvers. ISOLATION No. 3. Isolation No. 3 was the first ward to install a vietrola. Now nearly all the wards have them. The original machine is still running and "The Sunshine of Virginia” continues to be the favored tune. Lieutenant Webster, the ward sur geon, is suffering from a very sore arm as the result of his recent vac cination. Eight times before had Lieut. Webster been vaccinated with out the process taking effect. Wardmaster Greenbaum in charge of the ward has been in isolation ward service longer than any other person in the base hospital. Private Judd has returned to his duties as orderly after undergoing an operation for appendicitis, which kept him on the sick list for three weeks. WARD B. 8. The most notable part of the ward is the patient’s appetite. Private Whitehorn is taking Brown’s codine for a “Keely cure.” We worry most about the monopoly of all the young ^^dy visitors by Apolil- lo Grose. Private Miller says that he cannot take regular baths because it takes 11 him so long to catch up with the run ning' water.' The ward quartet is progressing nicely. It is made up of Miller, first tenor; Chadwick, second tenor; Groce or Smith, baritone; Downs o^ Kice, Officer of the day, (making rounds of the wards, to Private Smuskewicz) : ■ “Call attention please.” Private Smuskewicz; “I don’t know where he sleeps, sir.” But that’s got nothing to do with Herbert Mills’ haircut. Schmidt will take several pictures of the detail which is leaving and will later furnish The Caduceus with photo graphs of the departed comrades when they are located at Allentown’. SALUTING CAMP THEATRE B. H. Stephens’ Amasement Enterprises IIBERH PARK (GAMP No. 4 CAR) musical comedy . VAUDEVILLE AND PICTURES NEW COMPANY EVERY WEEK. ENTIRE CHANGE OF PROGRAM SUNDAY, WED- NESDAY and FRIDAY. MATINEES SUN. WED. AND SAT. 2:30 P. M. NIGHT SHOWS: 6:45 AND 8:30 P. M. Baluting is a direct mark of cour tesy which, every army in. the world compels and enforces upon its soldiers. This strict military etiquette is a branch of discipline and is required of all officers and enlisted men. Saluting is. interpreted by military men as an inherejnt .and exclusive right, t exemplifies a'strong respect Which the junior holds for his superior and indicates-ever readiness for serv ing and receiving commands that will be faithfully obeyed. .. .. Glancing upon a soldier saluting alertly, with military bearing, with controlled expression and firmness re veals a true soldier Avith discipline. Since a true soldier is measured by manners and expressions one feels jus tified in judging the quality of a sol dier by the way in which he salutes. Asoldier rendering a slow, half lazy salute is recognized as a slow, half lazy soldier. . A smile, wink or words-, accompanied with salutes appears to the military, eyes as child like, girl-like, lady-like, and unwilling. WALTER H. MERZWCK. PARR SHOOTING GALLERY B. H.
