W: 1 i K'r-1 i I :: ul 10 THE CADUCEUS ORDNANCE DEPOT BIG THRILLER The motto ot this company is “We take no prisoners”. Corp. Harry Rosenthal Is the un-dis- puted Champion Nall Puller of the company. Corp Clarence Thyng contemplates committing matrimony in the near future. Why not follow his example, Brandt? Ord. Sgt. Peters has moved all his goods, wares and chattels from the Depot Office to the Warehouse. Wel come to our city!. Pvts. Earnest W. McNabb, Richard B; Blanch, Frederick L. Warner, Whra- ham Rosenberg and Thomas H. Daley, to this Company from Syracuse Re cruit Camp. Syracuse, N. Y. PARK REOPENS SOLDIERS’ The Ordnance Depot Company is about to release a new 5-reel thriller entitled “Fighting the Flames”. The leading role is to be taken by Douglas Chersky, Fairbanks. Mary Lyons Pickford is the female star, while Wil liam Thornton Hart plays the part of the repentant villain. These all-star players compose the familiar triangle. They are assisted by Crane Baruxes Wilbur and Charlie Delestowic Chap lin. The entire Ordnance company form the rest of the cast. It is dur ing the long gray hour before day- breok when the first rays of the sun of a tomorrow is rising over the bath house when the stillness is broken by the piercing shriek “Fire in Tent No. 4.” No sooner had the echoes ceased when the redoubtable Fairbanks seized his trusty bayonet and proceeded to demolish the emberencrusted floor. A piercing shriek from fair Mary re veals the fact that sin-ridden Hart is attempting to do his worst in the shield of the smoke. Fairbanks then drops his bayonet which by this time had accomplished its mission, seizes Miss Pickford in his sturdy arms and dashes from the tent. '' This is but a summary of this soul- inspiring film. Other fascinating fea tures were the daring, dauntless, death-defying dash of Three Card Monte Dates “into the jaws of death” with a Pyrene extinguisher, and Hugh Rosenthal Chalmers, the Twin Six Sales Manager of the Ordnance Can teen selling fire Insurance policies ’mid the glow of the embers. PLAY GROUND TAKES NEW LIFE. The glory of other days has come back to Liberty Park with the lifting of the quarantine. The park opened on Friday night and, appears to be brighter than ever. There is the light strung midway, the music, the colorful windows and the shows, which ' promise the usual gayety of dancing girls and vaudeville. With the quarantine’s passing and the outlook of more soldiers coming to Camp Greene the fourth camp park is to be improved and enlarged and arrangements made to care for every need of the boys in khaki. HE RETURNS A leading publisher is about to bring forth a textbook entitled “How to Drill A Recruit” By Corp. Oscar Beall, of the 117th Ordnance Depot Co. Corp. Beall is a native of Mary land and has had a great deal of ex perience in the regular U. S. Army. BRINGING HOME THE SPOILS. Kapatka 'end Hoff have from The Mustache 'Club. resigned Lieut. Link I"! on a 10 day leave of absence. Lieut. Daniel V/. Coakley reported to this Depot from Camp Lee, Virgi nia. Ord. Sgt. Singer will not be able to demonstrate the Warm Arm Heater when the quarantine Is lifted on ac count of his left arm injured. We feel this ii not quite right. Corp. Harry Rosenthal is hereby notified it is against Hoover’s orders to hoard supplies. It seems Corp. Rosy is partial to chicken. , The heart of one of our Company has bben pierced. Not by the enemy’s bullet but by the Darts ot Cupid. Pvt. Lyons leaves for Washington Friday to take the matrimonal step. Best wishes from the Company. 4TH RECRUIT CAMP 15th CO. NOTES. Up until the present very little has been said of the talent among lines of entertainment in the 15th company but we certainly have our share. Jack Poole the boy with the auburn hair, who knocked them “dead” at the last big 4th recruit camp show in charlotte was formly a member of tne 15th company and previous to his en trance into the service he was playing in all Big'Time circuit, later he left us and was transferred to the head quarters company. 'When the 16th company was con solidated with ours we gained Kid Tucker of much vocal fame who was another person that went over heavy in thebig show two months ago. Tucker whose first name is CLAR ENCE; and wow how he loves that name; hails from a town in New Jer sey, Riverton by name and he sure is some boy. And Clarence, as we all call him agrees that the next thing to Vtunger Din is working on K. P. SOME DOG. Another victory for the medical sup. ply—NIX? 'Phe pride of the medical supply, a Boston terrier is the gamest dog living, according to their tradi tion. Nearly every Sunday we have a lit tle sport watching this famous dog get the thrashing of his life. Although he has only two false teeth, no other aninial ia the canine specie can come near the medical supply barrack without being attacked by this renowned terrier. For two Sundays in succession a lit tle Air Dale and this mascot of the M. S. have fought for at least one hour and a halt or until pulled aij^art, but without decision; but the terrier Seems to be, geting the worst of the two, and if left alone to the finish there wouldn’t be another much looked for scrap going on near the Y. M. C. A. in the future. Boys of the M. S. let us give you a little advice, you had better get a new set of false teeth for your pet if you don’t want him killed, or you had better put him in a cage. TRIOLET TO AUTUMN. CWlth the Usual.) The melancholy days have come. The saddest of the year; Oh, slacker, get me, as I strum “The melancholy days have come,” You’ll have to work or fight, you bum. And soon you’ll have no beer! The melancholy days have come, The saddest of the year. —C. B. Gilbert. .'1^ ’.Ss.' ■ 1.
