14 THE CADUCEUS ADJUNCTS CAN USE TOOLS CHAPLIN’S CORNER FROM THE ADJUTANT’S OFFICE. It is wun hesitation that we take Our pen m hand this week, to do our bit, after the scorni of criticism we suiiered foi last week's euorcs. How ever, being of that do and dare na ture we will at least try this week's comments out. We bag to state that any member of the office force found wearing guns or concealing oth er war-like weapons will be dealt with accordingly. Sergeant Mills is again with us, after his trip to the mountains. Any thing that will make Millsy good hu mored for three days’ time is sure worth while. Why not send him on another trip soon? Sergeant Martin, our Old Reliable, has led an exemplary life since his re turn from D. S. at the Operation Room. Only his keen sense of duty led him astray even temporarily. Sergeant Vvngnt, since we ouered Our nrsi cmicism oi. last week, has nienued his Ways and me pa ms ot rigiueuusness are lor niiii also, hutie did we ever suppose mat our literary eiforts would he crowned with such beneficial results. Sergeant iViahn nas Dsen taken from us temporarily, lining Sergeant John son's place m the Oetacnment Omce, while the latter is enjoying a fur lough. Seigeant ivlahn this week is beyond our jurisdiction, but we only hope he will return to us a better and brighter youth. We do fear for his safety even now for it is rumored that he has recently received a high ly scented epistle, postmarked Char lotte. What say Burlen? When do you expect that one from Atlanta? Corporal Norton is attempting to fill Sergeant AVright’s former position, being seen at the office at infrequent intervals. Oh, well the war is over now anti Hoskins is but a short dis tance away. MISS WAIT GOOD FARMER IN FIELDS OF REFERENCE. "Old Orome.” Did you ever hear of him? Neither did the persons who carried the question of his identity to Miss Marie Hox Wait, base hospital librarian. But the search stopped there. Miss Wait nailed “Old Crome” down, as a half forgotten English artist, in no time at all. This gives us a chance to make a sweeping statement and to deliver a preachment. Miss Wait has not been “stumped' yet by a question in regards to points rhetorical, historical or alegorical. If she does not know a reference off hand she knows where to find out about the topic. “We consider Miss Wait one of the Dest reference librarians in the army work,” stated Miss Miriam Carey, field representative of the southern states, upon her visit to the base hos pital. “Miss Wait has had a broad experience in the use of reference books. She knows how to use her tools.” The tools with which Miss Whit la bors, when called upon for a reference at the base hospital library, are lim ited in number and her success in meeting every application shows the thoroughness with which she under stands her field. She can take Web ster's Dictionary, Everyman’s Ency clopedia, Who’s Who In America, World Almanac and Harper’s Book of Facts and tell all about Mussulman’s, Diaeresis, Sagittarius, Tiegnmouth and Pearl White. She knows how to use the tools at her disposal and she is a strong ad vocate of the principle of people learn ing to make the most of their sur roundings. She urges the use of books on vocational training and of which the library has a growing sup ply. A new series ot volumes on sales manship have arrived and are accom panied by the following statement: Knowledge of human nature learn ed by personal observation and ex perience helps to make a good sales man. Books are also guides to char acter and enable us to observe more keenly.
