y- XHE CADUGEUS. 15 w CONDUCTED BY MISS-ELIZABETH P. UZELMEIER VOLUNTEER TWO NURSES LEAVE FOR NEW YOR. When the emergency call for two nurses to go overseas came a week ago Monday, and stating that the need was urgent there were several unhesi tating answers to the call but the two accepted were Miss Dora G. McCo> and Mrs. Marguerite Welch: Goth la dies ar© now. ih New York city, hav ing left-here on Monday evening for that point. They are entirely ignorant as to ■ what -organization they will he at tached to but the mere fact that the call was “urgent” was sufficient for them and they bravely offered their services with the unknown. Mrs. Welch has been at this hospital the service of an army nurse on last January. Mrs. Welch has two sons in the army, both of wnom volunteered their services at the very first call of their country and as the brave uly said to the Caduceus representa tive, “I did not have to urge them, they joined the army without being dragged in.” Since that time both her sons have been fortunate in gaining -ommlssions. ■ The above picture is one of Mrs. Welch and her eldest son, who holds a commission as First Lieutenant with the 161st Depot Brigade at Camp Grant, 111. Lee H. Welch, the lad/s youngest son, is a 2nd Lieutenant with the 119th Infantry, 0th division, Some where in France. Her foriiier home was at Clitcago, 111., which she later gave up to act as Superintendent of Nurses at the Lincoln Memorial Hospial, at Knox ville, Tenn. After being ordered to this station she was assigned to duty at ward B-5 for the greater part of the past winter although some of her time was spent in D-7. The very fine piano at the nurses' home is a contribution of Mrs. Welch, who had it sent upon her entrance into the service of Uncle Sam. It Is with the keenest regret that the nurses and patients of the Base Hospital say adieu to Mrs. Welch, for during her stay with us herw kind and homely spirit won her the everlasting friendship or all who knew her.

The most called for “book” at the Base Hospital branch library Is that sizzling, scorching, volume of p^ss- insr metal entitled “The Electric Tlat iron.” Since the iron was added to the library equipment it has been in use night and day. It is the “best sell er’ ’to the extent that there are calls for the iron for a day ahead. “The funny thing is that the offi cers com© for the iron most,” said Miss Marie Fox Waite, the librarian. THE DIRTY END. Two American soldiers were taking a German out to be shot. The night was dark and stormy and the road was covered with mud a foot deep. After walking for some time the Ger man commenced to grumble, and wanted to know how much farther they were going to take him. One of the Americans replied: “What are you kicking about? We’ve got to walk hack in this.”—From The Trouble Buster. I VI 1 ':i hSi 1 I
