BASE HOSPITAL .NOTES. I Many improvements have been j ' made in our building recently in re- J spect to its physical appearance, and [ it is to the kind ladies of West Ave? nue Presbyterian church who have | adopted our building as their very ' 1 own. that we are Indebted for these! On last Saturday afternoon Mrs. | j ' Beaty. whose husband is business see* retar.v of building No. 103. in company with a number of other ladies, came to our hut. washed our windows j and strung up window curtains, and besides donated a number <>? beautiful pictures and mottoes, all of which add immensely to the attractiveness j. of our walls, and give tnem a real l" home-like appearance. These ladies also contemplate planting flowers, and in other ways beautifying the premises about the hut.

On May the 5th our " ? i--...- ?MirMra will be given by the people of Westminster Presbyte- | jff rian church, of which Miss Louise ! H Sunday following the Christian En- J iB arrange the entertainment. We feel that we are fortunate in securing the P|^'b|h services of these capable young people to entertain us. H^l On Friday night we had the pleastire of hearing for the first time Rev. P. D. Brown, the new Lutheran camp pastor, who spoke on 'Following the , bJMJ Vision in Life." His text was the well | \ vKR known expression of Paul. "I have not vfl been disobedient to the heavenly vls\ WV ion." It was a stirring message for | fa young men. and women as well? I for there was a sprinkling of Red , Cross nurses present, and the appeal j will prove beneficial to all. Mr. Brown is a convincing speaker, and we predict for him a successful ministry in One of the delightful features of I this service was the excellent musical! program rendered under the direction >f ramo music director.

May 2. at which the talent was furnished mainly by members of the Ninth company. The chief event on the. athletic program was a wrestling boot between Cook Archie McGhan. of .the Ninth comnanv. and Private Scbuder. of the Motor mechanics. The motor mechanic had the best of the argument before it started, having JO pounds to his credit. The match terminated in a draw. McGhan drew first honors by throwing Schuder in two and a half j minutes. Then the motor raeehanlc | turned the tables and tkrew McGhan in four and one-half minutes. The third throw will be consummated at a date to be announced later. Claude Browning contributed largely to the entertainment with a blackface number interspersed with feats Of strength and endurance. Harry j Lang pulled some juggling stunts despite the activities of Robert L. Dye, who looked like Charlie Chapfin and acted like ratty AroucKie. The music was furnished by Roy | C. Inman and Louis Kiss, violinists, j ahd Walter Twiss, pianist. John Boy- I ser performed some new stunts with j a pair of bones, the kind you rattle to | the accompaniment of an orchestra. j William Miles; William Greenspan i and Claire Miller brightened the pro- j gram with several solos. Several meritorious poems from the i pen of Sergeant Frank P. Tully, la- j tending to depict array life and praise j thFT'ourth engineers at the same time, were real by Caryl McGfll, whose voice got all of ten feet away from the rostrum.
