\ * k i \ THE CADUCEUS. 15 ALL READY. On my way back to Camp Greene from New York last week I called on some of the nurses who left here about a month ago. They were then fully equipped for service overseas and their trunks were all packed. After an exciting month in New York, full of drilling, one and one-half hours each day, standing for fittings, going to BYench classes, and getting the hun dred and one things that are always necessary; finally carrying their Unit Flag to consecration and submitting to the last inspection', they were glad to know that they were ready to begin their overseas journey. LEFT SERVICE. Miss Katherine Oi’Brien recently left the service for her home in Lexington, Ky. Her work has been appreciated and 'we 'wHl miss her. Miss Bessie M. Chapman, Miss Mar tha Slue Pigg. Miss Ethylnde B. Smith, and Miss Wilhelmina C. Young, mem bers of Base Hospital Unti No. 45, who have been on duty at this hospital al winter have left us to join their Unit at its mobilization station. Aunt The resa has promised to take care of Bes sie. Uown the Belmont Road to Tucas- seegee Ford and near the Catawba riv er there is a log-mud cottage where members of the French class. Base Hospital Unit No. 54. and those with the Riding Habit enjoyed a picnic a tew days ago, after a truck ride and a swim. Hid you ever see a potato clock? No? Well, I got up at eight o’clock. (I bet you don’t .get that.) M u 1/^ W BY MISS MARY LASELL SQUADS RIGHT. Another habit the nurses have been forming lately has been that of drill ing. Every afternoon for an hour fol lowing four-thirty you ean see them near the Nurses Home Building drill ing under Capt. Mead’s instruction. Many of the nurses enjoyed the danc ing at the “Blue Room Ball’’ Tuesday night. There is nothing more popular than the dances given by the Camp Officers. ASSEMBLY Ask the night Awdiihlee if Mississip pi gave Missouri her New Jersey what will Delaware? Mis., Mary E. McKenna, from Water- bury. Conn., has recently reported at this hospital lor duty. HE WENT The road looks kind’er gloomy Since the day you went away. The flowers may be bloomin’ But somehow I can’t say For; My eyesight’s sorter musty An’ the landscape seems to dance. 1 guess it’s cause I’m lookin’ Way over there—In France. —H. R. S. of Charlotte. SEEK MOUNTS. Requisition for forty saddle horses has been made to the camp command ing officer by the base hospital quar termaster. The steeds are asked for by officers of the hospital and are needed by a part of the departmental sergeants whose work carried them several miles in a day. Material for building a stable of twenty-four stalls is expected at once. The new structure will be put up be hind the quartermaster building. A GOOD RECIPE. Take a little bit of English, Only just a little bit. Add a little French and Belgian As much as is thought fit. Shake in a pinch of Yankee, And you have the thing complete. Then you call the mixture “Allies” And the darned stuff can’t be beat. J. H. MUSTERING THE FORCE. The central figure is Captain Long- street, who has been one of the most active in teaching the nurses the ex- hilerating sport of riding horseback. In the background n the left a nurse can be seen, mounted on a black thor-- oughbred. Just out ide the hour of this picture the entire cavalry . mrs- es and officers is forming. ■ “It is fitting r.hat Captain Longstreet should be the central figure,” is the comment from the nurses as they have placed him as the leader in promoting the spur and saddle art. “BULL DOG” BINDERS. Covers for magazines, known as “Bull Dog” binders in library par- liance, have arrived for all standard magazines at the base hospital library. The new periodicals are now placed in the permanent covers which give tone to the appearance of the shelves as well as preserving the publica tions. HIS LUCK. “Ain’t that just my -“What’s the matter First Soldier- luck!” Second Soldier- now ?’* First Soldier—“With all the pretty girls there are in the States knitting sweaters, I have to draw one with a note saying it was knitted by a man. —Detroit Free Press. % H' ^ tl V
