MISS LONG FIRST WOMAN LAB
ORATORY ASSISTANT.
Miss Marie X. Long of York, Pa.,
is the first woman to be stationed, in
the laboratory of the U. S. Army Base
Hospital, Camp Greene. She his been
on the Mob tor nearly a week and has
thoroughly familiarized herself with
her work as technician. ^
The arrival of Miss Long is the re
sult of a new government order which
states that women are to be used in
the laboratories of the base hospitals
as assistants to the officers. It is ex
pected that more women may be
brought to the Camp Greene hospital
later for laboratory work.
Mss Long is a graduate nurse and
has had' three years’ special training
in laboratory analysis. She was sta
tioned at the U. S. Army General
hospital, Lakewood, N. Y., before be
ing ordered to Camp Greene.
“I think Camp Greene is wonder
ful,” is her comment on her new
surroundings,” and the hospital lab
oratory could not be improved upon
for neatness and efficiency of its,
staff.
PLEASANT DANCE.
Nearly all the nurses of the base
hospital accompanied by officers of
the hospital and the camp attended a
dance at Casual Camp No. 1 in honor
of the fourteen nurses who are to
leave with Base Hospital Nto. 57.
Music was furnished by the Myers
Park orchestra. There were tasty
decorations. The affair is held as
one of the most pleasant of the year.

The golden moon does brightly beam.
The silvered starlight softly gleam.
And I so madly, wildly dream
When she’s around.
My troubles seem to drop behind.
No anxious cares oppress my mind.
And nature’s face is always kind
When she’s around.
Mid hurrying noontide’s happy ray
And gathering twilight’s
To live is joy, through ali life s day
When she’s around.
UNIT NUMBER 54
A more wonderful set of surgeon*

They can dance and glide and drill

At any rate we will miss them tor

UP TO US.
The Kaiser drove his troops across
the Marne,
A mighty host, trained to the can
non’s roar.
They ran from the Sammies and
Marines,
And now -they’re being treated by
the Medical Corps.
Miss Elizabeth T. Uzelmier, standing
on the left, and Miss Emma Sudduth,
on the right, are enthusiastic about
the new work which had befallen them
as the result of the coming and going
of a major part of the nurse force of /
the hospital during the past week. Mias
Uzelmier is assistant to the chief
nurse and in addition to that strenu
ous task has consented to stand
.sponsor for the Nurses Page in The
Caduceus.
The uncertainty of work in the army
is well shown in the case of Miss
Sudduth. She was made housekeeper
for the nurses’ home by the new chiei
nurse, Miss Parish, and had entered
into the work with spirit for three
days Then the unit to which she i»
attached was called for foreign ser
vice, She left the hospital on Thursday
for a port of embarkation.
