PROGRAM ARRANGED BY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Enjoyable Entertainment Was] Given at Building No. 106 Wednesday. I'eforo a large and appreciative au- | ' tlicnee, the Charlotte Chamber ot'i Commerce .staged a tip top entertain- | nient at V. M. C. A. liuilding Xo. IOC I mi Wednesday night. October 17. The ! ntire program was arranged under j 'he supervision of David Ovens, who I has spoken twice at this building and j wiio Ins been unusually ready to help! the "V" ui its efforts to entertain. j Clarence lCuostcr was introduced as j chairman of the evening, and ran the' were 1-5 numbers on the program, all lirst class events. A mule quartet, ; composed of Messrs. Rankin. Jones. Shelby and Norwood, gave the lirst | number. I.ator in. the evening, they j were heard again and' euch one was used for solo work. John Fox led I ilie boys in a song hit, "We'll Make . the Kaiser Wiser." - fie also sang several solos, receiving well deserved applause. Jake Newell and J. D. Mc. Call also spoke during the evening. Their "stunts" were advertised as being "Three Minutes of Just Anything," and "Four Minutes of Filling In." They held the audience every minute, and caused rounds of laughter with their jokes. Dr. McGeachy was the last speaker. His talk was of a more serious nature. At the end of the pro: gram, a community singing was held. I The building staff is very grateful to ; the gentlemen of the chamber of commerce and recommend them to the other buildings as entertainers of high order. NOTES FROM 116th ENGINEERS COMPANY I "Just one more river for to cross." I So thought members of C company | Sunday morning. A broken water i ' main caused an inundation of thej lower end of the company street mak-1 ing Hie ualli nouse a ining apart. r-n| vale llarrischou conceived the idea of 1 carrying men across for a nominal j sum but desisted as soon aa Private J French hove into sight. I C company made a.concerted attack on a certain well known boarding house in Charlotte last Saturday night. Gains were made on each individual front. Corporal Steuver made per, haps the most startling gain. The ; size of his blouse was all that hindered his success. Private L. L. Benbow has comj menced practice with the regimental ! band. "Benny" is an accomplished 'trombone player and it Is expected that he will soon be appearing reguj larly with them. ; While C company members have ; developed fairly regular church-going I tendencies. Private Stebbins has gone , the boys one better. "Steb" has made i good as a Sunday school teacher and j it is expected that he will qualify as j a pastor within the month. He has j rare qualifications for the position and his many friends hope to see him in ! the pulpit soon. I French teacher, Is again in our midst | j after a two weeks' sojourn at the base I hospital. The professor returned able to give us a literal Impersonation of a j . poilu. Much against the better wishes i 'of hi classes he persisted in removing ! his hirsute adornment and resuming j the appearance of a human being. Considerable interest is being maniI fested over the respective ability of I j Corporal Roy and Private B. Johnson i' as sprinters. They ran a tie race last | week over a hundred yard course. J Time: somewhere between ten seconds I j and five minutes. Supply Sergeant Dan Cawley has j l volunteered to teach the rudiments of ; ' reading and writing to Private George | Borman. George has particular trou,! ble in applying himself to I. D. R. j Our tonsorial artist. Private K. L. j Caldwell, has a peculiar idea that | | shaving with hot water is injurious i to the face. Conseuently there has | been nothing but cold water shaves | for two weeks. > I Private C. R. Laing. the versatile i j Interior decorator of the eighth squad, i i has evolved no less than eight new j Ideas and methods of hanging up his t surplus clothing. At present he is > : hanging them on the floor. i I Supply Sergeant Cawley has made t j the ruling that only one cot will be ? ; issued to each man per week. As a ; i result Private Paul Campbell does I ) most of his sleeping on the floor, t j Private A1 Henley is taking an elo> j cutionary course under the able ini struction of Corporal George Howe I and Private H. H. Glenn. After a fortnight's assistance by the Dippy - ' v. onnfldont that A1 will ho ] one of the most promising orators in t ] camp. - ' Private Jos. Jacques has developed i | a new philosophy for cold weather, f When he gets cold on the top side he i | merely turns over. t i Note:?Mess Sergeant Harris and Cook P. J. Sansbery were seen quietly leaving camp the other day. They - both looked hungry. o Portland, Ore.?The theft of $450 s ! from a cabinet in a Northern Pacific e ! dining car standing in the yards of - the Northern Pacific Terminal com pany was reported to the police by ' A. \V. Pollack, dining car conductor. m ECHOES OF CO. E, 162ND INFANTRY Last Saturday night, the fifteenth squad, Corporal Potter, Privates Squires, Volts, Saurbos, Dillabaugh, | Sharon and Sigle, had a blowout.' They had a big table d'hote dinner at j the Mecklenburg hotel. Growling in the mess hall, has be-1 gun again. Cook Kocser is* back at j work. All persons having notes of interest in this company will give them to Private Siglc. We arc all glad to see R. E. King back in the ranks after a six months' leave. He has been mechanic. Corporal Sharp was badly injured in the battle royal between ther two halves of the notorious fourth platoon.Football will be discontinued until feather beds have been issued to all players. 13 company is made up of movie ac tors. Corporal Vail, Sergeant Holcomb and First Class Private Smith posed fpr the l'athe-Hearst Pictorial. Some dummy punchers, those boys. The sergeants are out of luck. The table they have In the mess house has no lettering on it. Better luck next time, sergeants. Lieutenant Jackels is going to spring his surprise quartet soon. Watch him. The fifth squad is quarantined for (?) They may be found asleep in a tent behind the E company bathhouse any time during the day. Private Axtell is back from the hospital. Welcome home, old boy. Top" Sergeant Bagnall blows three whistles so often he is said to have blown his whistle three times in his sleep the other night. Such afflictions are serious, as he might blow them in the street some night too late. The third squad won the canteen, checks given the squad appearing and reporting first tho most number of calls for one week. Dear old Corporal Vial again appears before the public as a model. Let the rest of the squad do the same. Wednesday was wash day. Many belts and leggins hung on the line. Thursday was parade day. That E company showed the boys the stuff it was made of stands an undisputed fact. While we are not very strong on the poetic stuff there occasionally comes <o niir nntira a niono of rhvmo which touches the spot. Relieving the following to be of this sort, we would have you note the accompanying verse handed us by Private J. Couch: Some people were made to be soldiers, And the Irish were made to be cops; Sauerkraut was made for Germans, And spaghetti was made for wops; Fish were made to drink water, And bums were made to drink booze; Banks w?re made for money. And money was made for Jews; Kverything was made for something? Most everything?but a miser. God made Wilson for President. But who in h made the Kaiser? ? Helena. Mont.?A world's record was established when a 1,500-pound steer from a Gallatin valley, Montana, farm brought $240. r m Loyaltj REMI I'liono 471 r i| mrnrnammmmmmmm ABOUT "K" COMPANY 162ND INFANTRY J| Private Ernest Vasher Is supposed r^f to be the most popular man In the . seventh squad, but private Oliver R. Green ranks first, as he outclasses Vasher In several ways. The most, noticeable way Is he amuses the squad with his comical sayings. Private Chipman Is also very fine at that - - ?? Corporal Pace, although he is a herd '>-.$5? working soldier, has assigned each - **. ?. of his squad to some irksome duty 35? about the tent. So he sits around and takes It easy while the rest do the work. Privates Tom Burden and Ernest Vasher are getting to be old bachelors, I as they sit in their tent every night. ??& ana ten eacn ouiw yarns ? >? >.. ? ? ,-T ries. Private Galley must-be home- . ' Jt,g sick, as he says his feet are sore in , order that he niay pen a few words .""ffSB to Portland. Corporal Pace doesn't "["Ss know what to think of It and the rest v:' of the squad are-patiently waiting ta 'w? see.if he will let this happen many ~?E more times. Little Freddie Konkle came dashing Into the "Y" Thursday afternoon with a two-bv-three-inch highland terrapin, which he had captured after a .{'** vfry fatiguing race. After "making extended inquiry as to the life history of the "racer," he began making preparations to parcel post his captive to R the old state of Oregon. The lack of ' ' .' air and water, however, to be had In "? the package, forced the "K" company , -X' hunter to abolish his project. Too bad for the Oregon youth, after his - X hard race. - ^11 ATHLETIC NIGHT AT BUILDING NO. 106 Owing to the fact that the "ghost" 1 ;*. rj had walked on the afternoon before. A\ I athletic night at Building No. 106 was A not up to the standard from the -...a [standpoint of a crowd. However, those who were present tounu sumo- . .x.-gpar I thing to keep their eyes open at all | stages of the program. I Robert Gourlie, physical director at \u3g|i I "Y" 107, gave an exhibition of Indian club swinging, in which he kindly ' '.-J took off his cap and showed the boys jl I a thing or two along this line. What " he can't do with the clubs, according ; " to the boys, "can't be did." Corporal Wylder, Corporal McCracken, Private Kellert and Private ' Peffley, of Company I, 161st infantry, spent a busy ten minutes on the stage in an acrobatic turn. And. strange to '. say, these "chaps" actually got themselves back together after all their ~ ' twisting and knotting. Corporal Wylder and Private Peffley, as usual, had T, to have their three rounds, whieh ? went to a draw. * ->^3? Private Little and Private i'A. " Burdge. of the fourth company, 146th machine gun battalion, went a fast three rounds. N'o fatalities were visible.
