MOTOR TRANSPORT
Cook Smith will never be content
mornings after he gets home until he
has awakened everyone in the
neighborhood. He will change the
boulevard to a company street. .
A permanent organization of Gold-
bricks have been formed with mem
bers from all companies of the corps.
The leadership of the new outfit has
not been named, but we believe it
to be one of the non-coms of the serv
ice park unit.
Sergeant Goodin simply could not
be a Goldbrick, he applied for a man’s
job and got it. If he is as good in the
shop as he was on a steamboat in
the Mississippi he will be a great suc
cess.
Out of luck again! The question
again arises, “Where do we go from
here?” Anyway if we go to another
camp for duty, we have the pleasure
of looking forward to a probable'fu
ture, in which some of us expect to
exist.
Privates Beer, Hoddell, and White
have been transferred to the develop
ment battalion for discharge. Re-
Inember we boys when you put your
foot on the rail, and your elbow on
the bar.
The ^latest rumor is that some add
ed attraction is to be secured for the
boys at chow time in the mess hall,
so as to get the laboring men to their
meals on time. Gus Edwards’ girl
and song revue in “Attaboy” might
cause some attraction.
THE CADUCEUS
READING ROOM OPEN.
A
Business
Proposition
The most recent addition to the
comforts of the hospital Red Cross
building is a tastily arranged reading
room, exclusively for the men. It is
situated in the library room in the
rear of the north fireplace, and was
designed with the view of affording
^he men a quiet place in which to
study.
A large reading lamp has been in
stalled and large easy arm chairs have
been secured, finished in brown leath
er to conform to the general color
scheme of the room.
Fire! Fire! After the fire was out
in the machine shop the other night
the company was called out, and the
fire department summoned. For ex
ceedingly daring bravery Hubbard and
Moxley have been cited.
We lose a good man in the transfer
of Sergeant Carl Christianson to camp
headquarters detachment. He is well
worthy of his coming promotion.
Sergeant Jack Prause has given up
driving a truck. He states that driv
ing a touring car is a better pastime,
and the pay is just the same even
though it isn’t a government car.
Corporal McCarthy is exceedingly
busy this winter season, not only do
ing necessary fatigue with his labor
battalion, but a new post for the guard
has been formed which keeps the
corporal as well as the whole bat
talion very busy.

CHAPLAIN’S CORNER
STUDY ENGLISH.
Not long since the soldier was
studying French. Now he is studying
English, the language of the seas and
of new America. Many of the men
enrolled know several languages such
as Polish or Italian but lack the one
which will prove of most value to
them in the commercial and social
world of this country. During the past
month marked progress has been
made. The following men have al
ready availed themselves of this op
portunity: Kaziak, Dawidezyk, Berest-
ko, Olesiewicz, Agnitti, Demczyk, Sar-
dello, Bogin, Sarantay, Russo, Merola,
Agassucci, Kozinowsky, Wilemovie
and Kuprewicz. The .school meets
five times a week excluding Saturday
and Sunday from 6-7 p. m„ at the
“Y.” Further applicants for this train
ing call at the Chaplain’s office.
FINE RESPONSE .
A splendid response was made by
oflicers, nurses, men, and' convales
cents to Chaplain Rowland’s invitation
to attend church services upon the
Sabbath. We were indebted to Mr.
McCall from Charlotte and to Ser
geant Goldstein for the instrumental
music of the evening and to Miss
Wade for that of the morning. The
informal and spontaneous tribute and
ovation (not “eulogy”) to Secretary
Martin was a feature enjoyed by all.
Keep these times of service in minu.
It is a chance for good music, a ser
mon and to worship God in the way
we would at home in fellowship one
with another.
Business houses of a city grow in size and value to the community
in direct ratio to the support they receive in that community.
The street railway is but one of your business houses. A street
car system which is not patronized can not secure revenue with which to
furnish the highest type of service. But that system which is supported
by the public is the greatest factor in the development of the city.
It is but good business to cooperate with and patronize that industry
which means enhancement of property values and the general well being
of the city.
