KEEP BUYING War Saving Stamps gkorce hay THE CADUCEUS CHANG STUDENT NURSES SO NAME MASCOT. The student nurses in number ten dormitory have a real live mascot. His name is Chang, which any one can see is a mystic name. And, like the wind, no one knows whence he came or whither he goeth. He simply is. Since his arrival, there has been quite a deal of discussion as to what he is. He looks like a turtle, but some say he is a terrapin., Personal ly, we thought a turtle and a terrapin were the same, but it seems there is a difference. One of the students, whose is quite versed in bugology,,. de clared he was an insect, hut as her opinion was given when Chang had re tired into his shell, we fear that her theory was based upon his resem blance at that time to a potato bug. Miss Maud L^ Wagner, our Night Supervisor has been transferred to the Walter Reed Hospital, Takoma Park, D. C., leaving many friends to regret her departure. Miss Anna W.

Last evening we had quite a deal of trouble in finding a place for him to sleep, as, even though it was a cold night, none of the girls seemed inclined to take the responsibility of looking after him. Several places were suggested, among them being a traveling hag, a shoe, a coal bucket and the center table. The latter place was finally selected, but after the lights were opt, we feared he might fall off, so he was placed on the floor near the stove. Needless to say, there was some apprehension, as to where his nocturnal wanderings might take him, and most of us devoutly hoped he would keep away from our particular portion of the dorm. This morning he was not to be found, but later, was discovered under one of the beds. ' We are now endeavoring to find out what he eats, and to date have a widely varying menu, including most everything from flies to cornflakes and cream. —By A Prob. STUDENT NURSE NOTES. COMPOSITION ON BONES. There are a good many different kinds of bones in the human body. There are short bones, crooked bones, stiff bones and skinny bones. Long bones make you tall—short bones make you short. Bones are surround ed with thin skin called parafine—like on jelly; inside the parafine is the Suez Canal filled with sorrow. The flat bones and ribs hold the heart in and keep it from jumping out when you get scared to death. The crooked bones are the kind in the back and in some people’s noses. The stiff and skinny are used by old maids. This is all I know about bones, but I will write another composition about muscles when Lt. Upton tells us their names. By M. M., a Prob.
