u m THE CADUCEUS CAMP Q. M. C. The American soldier has, from the days of the Revolution to the present time, been regarded as the very acme of courage, bravery and chivalry; But^, it remained for a private in the Quartermaster Corps of Camp Greene to reach the pinnacle of daring. This unproclalmed hero bears a very distinguished name—the name of one of Scotts novels, and the hero of this day is just as wonderful, tho in a different way as the famous hero of Scott. For in this age of conven tion, only a man of inestimable cour age dares defy propriety and follow the dictotes of his own heart, and such a man is this, of whom we speak. , Few of his comrades would guess that underneath his blithe, debonair exterior there lived such a chivalrous, daring spirit. But one must not ex piate on these almost obsolete quali ties. So, to be brief, the situation stands thus; the hero in question took a young lady of the city to a popular dance hall. He really did not know her—had merely been introduced by a tellow soldier. After the first dance with the lady of his friends choice, he saw another—a dream—a vision—one whon;^ his heart at once proclaimed its affinity. Now any other man would /have done what you would have done ^what I would have done. But hear in mind, if you please, that this man is not ordinary, but a veritable hero. For, defying every usual propriety and convention, he had the unbelieveable nerve to cling to his affinity, never wasting a minute. He boldly saunter- er up to the lady whom his heart had proclaimed congenial, and after courtesying in the manner of the former hero of his name, advised, “My name is , what is yours? There, while they were too stunned to make comment, he departed con queror, hero and knight—all because his soul had found its inspiration. (.What wonderful power has woman!) The other lady—the friends friend —on being condoled, remarked that she too had profited by the experience. Had she not always heard of the snare and the lure of the dance hall? And now she understands. There is one point, however, on which she is not clear; whether Q. M. C. stands for “Quit Me Cold,” or “Queens May Come, and Queens May ' Go, But we go on Forever.” By Sgt. First Class Fugua. ■ finds home. Private Robinson paid his first vis it to Charlotte during the week, like all the rest of the Rookies he fel for the smiles of some nice old \^dy and can be seen do-ling up each night preparing for a visit to his new-found home. 1 Sergeant Rothchild visited Concord last week and has not stood reveille since The Mystery ; Sergeant Fuqua’s vis it to Washington When does Professor'McDougle ex pect to go home.

Crane, pay day will soon be here. ™y name is , wuai lo His magic cognomen evidently was the “open Sesame”, to the desired lady’s acquaintance, for then on, the devoted knight was in attendance. The heavenly dances one by one all too swiftly. Then came the time for departure and here is where bis Wonderful courage shows to best ad vantage. He walked boldly up to his friends and announced his intention of escorting his chosen one home. Sergeant McMiillan, take,a tip and leave Private Roy at home the next time you go to Charlotte, if, you dont want to be left in the lurch. Sergeant Ben Edwards says that he loves his girl and don’t care who knows it. Sergeant Hesse likes the army so well that he intends to re-enlist. Glad to hear that some one is patriotic.

Line plunging aad open pass work broke even in the thrilling football game between the Remount depot team and the eleven from the camp Personnel office, at Weara Field, last Saturday afternoon.

The Remount men resorted to the packed formations straight line bucks for their gains and throughout the coq- test they displayed a remarkablj* dogged spirit and show of fine physi cal fitness. The lighter Personnel team used the open field work and the for ward pass for their vantage plays.
