FORT SKATER, April Captain
Martin Novak of the 25th Infantry
was admitted to the department hos
pital yesterday as a special patient
from Schofield Barracks. Mrs. Novak
and Maj: e. L., Butts and Lieutenant
Hattie CAME down from Leilehua with
Captain Novak to look after the pa
tient through the journey. Mrs. NoVak
will remain here for the present or
until her husband has improved. The
captain has been until lately the quar-
termaster Of his regiment and has
teen succeeded in that Office by Cap
tain Marshall Childs. While Captain
Novak's condition is not regarded as
serious he is nevertheless. in the opin-
ion Of his friends, to be regarded as a
patient for whom a change Of climate
is necessary and it is probable that
an application for an extended sick
leave will be made by him.
