OFFICERS’ NEWS (By Lieutenant William Munson.) THIRTY ALL. The latest athletic equipment in stalled by the officers of the base hos pital is two large tennis courts, laid off to the east of the officer’s quar ters. The plat of ground has been lev eled and smoothed and playing has al ready started. , The courts with their whitewash lines and white nets and posts give an attractive touch to the surroundings of the officer’s quarters. iCiLOCK WAS WRONG. Leutenant Kraetzed has returned from an eight-day leave spent in Brooklyn and Prospect Park. Through some error on the part of the town clock in Brooklyn the lieutenant ar rived back two days ahead of time. Past place that Brooklyn—near New York. SUCCESSFUL PARTY. Captain Dowdle took first honors at the party held in the East Wing last Week. Captain Myers started well but finished poorly. Captain Harvey con tributed largely to the success of the occasion. THE CADUCEUS. DIAGNOSIS. The word “diagnosis” is derived from the Greek and literally transla ted into engllsh means “knowing ex actly.” / It is used by the German food com missioners, Russian politicians, busi ness men before applying for a bank ruptcy, and also by many scientists in their scientific reports. But it is mostly used by medical scientists, and especially doctors. For instance if a person has a bad cold, gpes to the doctor who, after a careful examina tion diagnoses "stomach trouble,” sub mitting the poor creature to a strict diet, if he has heart trouble the doc tor diagnoses ‘hysteria,” if sore throat he diagnoses spinal ‘meningitis” or if fiat feet he diagnoses “inflammatory rheumatism,” ordering two mustard baths for an indefinite time and so on. Wives use the word too; they imme diately diagnose whether (the hus band who complains on a Saturday night of having a ba i headache) had Green River or Blue Moons on his way home from work. —By Private Grover J. WENT FISHING. Captain Evans has leturned to duty following a leave of ten days spent in Pennsylvania and New York. Evi dently his pencil was not in working order as no one heard from him while he was there. THERE’S A REASON. Lieutenant Darling cut off his hair and ten days following was made cap tain by special telegram from Wash ington. This accounts for the others going over the top.’ Captain Choate has been appointee instructor in equitation. (We called it excoriation at Harrison M. O. T. C.) for the nurses and is giving lessons several times a week. Captains De Poe and Graham are giv ing several of the new officers a course of instruction in “Hearts.” Lieutenant Meade has been assign ed to Base Hospital No. 54. Lieutenant Freed has gone on a ten- day leave. WHO IS GUILTY. Although the following notice; “Smoking allowed in doctors dressing room oniy” is conspicuously posted in several places in the operating room, a certain captain (surgical) who has been here about six months, after finshing his fourth smoke in the work room asked: “Is smoking allowed in here?” Miss “H,” much embarrassed and with an apologetic attitude, said: "Why, I believe captain smoking is allowed in the nurses’ dressing room only.” DO IT NOW.

Lieutenant Wil son, take notice. The officers who received the charm ing boudoir caps of red, wish to thank the unknown friends for their thought- tulness and generosity. Bath robes to match is only a suggestion. Major Adams is in Chicago attend ing the annual meeting of the A. M. A. Captain Stockard is some forager, tie has been in the army before. IMPROVING RAPipLY. Captain Thomas S. Crowe, who was stricken by an attack of kidney trou ble a week ago, is much improved. He* is able to be about. Captain Miller’s favorite question, “What’s wild”?
