HITS OR MISSES
(BY MISS TAKE.)
The Operating Pavillion opened Its
doors last Sunday afternoon for emer
gencies, and so the Wayland-Farr
team had quite a chance to get into
fine practice again with Miss Patter
son as Umpire and Miss Sonner at
the Bat.
Take Notice.^—Lt. Thomas, Anes
thetist, made quite a change in the
past week. He divided up his time
between the typewriter and study
from the Bible. Eor a time he was
unsuccessful^ in being able to secure
a Bible after searching the Officers’
Quarters, but after a while he found
one quite lonesome looking on a shelf
supposed to have been a relic of the
Civil War. Next time you want a
Bible, Lt. Thomas, the Nurses’ Home
can provide you with one.
Miss Sonner is no longer a/slacker
of “Influenza.” She is taking quite
a part in the great “Temperature Cam
paign” in the convalescent barracks.
The receiving ward seems to be
moving up rapidly. It is now located
at C-5 with Capt. WWebster and Miss
Rourke in charge:* Wonder its next
destination?
Lt. Hartwell quotes quite frequent
ly, “The surgery can never -open too
soon for me.” Maybe you’ll chang&
your mind. Lieutenant, when the
“Flu” has>gone, and the Surgical Ep
idemic is on.
It. Thomas has been promoted to
C street from D street. He evidently
workd so hard on D street, that he
almost overslept his meal hours. Lt.
Dew got busy and called him.
Miss Kollet, after each dose of
medicine given her while she had the
“Flu”, would say, “Next time I join
the army.” We wonder why she said
this? Let us hope none of us will
have the opportunity next time.
Miss Pye proved a very* efficient
O. D. Tuesday evening. A card game,
suited her so much more than answer
ing ’phone calls of which there were
none. Luck be with you again, O. D.
Miss Tate’s soul is rather inspir
ing.—“Golden Grain” seems to pro
duce the effect, for her fifteen cents
glitters so each evning at th canteen.
1st Nurse:—“Townsend has been
taken out of the Dental Clinic and
put on the switch board.”
2nd Nurse:—“No wonder our tele
phone on the ward seems out of or
der and rings, all 'the time.”
Get off the switchboard, Townsend.
“AT EASE”—Nurse Corps at Drill
THE PROBS
WINS RESPECT.
We are just “Probs” in our blue and
white,
But we’re on the go from, morning
’till night;
And you’d be surprised, if you only
knew
The many things that we can do.
We can make up a bed, with a patient
in it.
The covers all straight, in about a
minute;
We carry water and wash all the
faces;
And pick up things to put in their
places.
Miss Alice V. Newton, late instruc
tor of Nhrses at Clifton Springs San
itarium, ew York, is taking Miss Uzel-
melr’s place as Instructor of Nurses in
the training School during Miss Uzel-
meir’s absence. Miss Newton is a lady
of much charm of manner and profes
sional ability. She is making a place
for herself in the esteem of all.

*
LOSES MOTHER.
And then at chow time, out we troop.
And deal out bread and bowls of
soup;
Believe us, when we say those men
Are mighty glad to see us then!
We deeply regret the sad circum
stance which took Miss Uzelmeir home
a few days ago, called there by the
death of her mother. Our sympathies
are extended to her in this bereave
ment. She will remain away for a
leave of ten days at her home near
Hartford, Conn.
And so we try to do our best
And fill our days—part work, part
rest;
With play-time too, don’t you forget.
And we hope to kill the kaiser yet.
—A Prob.
Why is a chicken roosting on the
fence like a penny? Because the
head is on one side and the tail on the
other.
Why is a city official like a church
bell? One steals froip the people and
the other peals from the steeple.
