Here Is Some More.

There are several poets" in the Field
Hospital camp. Only few of them are
brave enough to come forward and pub
licly acknowledge that they have been
..dabbling in verse" Among them are
four of the members of the Seven Angels
Quartet" They are Sol O'Brien, e. b.
pusan, R. j. Dugan and Joe Perron.
Their poem is sung to the tune of Are
You From Dixie?" and the words are:
Are you from d. c.?
Ara you from d. c.?
Are you from ID. C..
I say, old d. C.
The place where I claim my birth.

Or any place where all the good guys so:

For I'm from the D. C., too
Battery B, O. NJ D. c.. always has had
a weakness for poetry. When 1t was en-
camped at Fort Myer some unknown
friend Of the company kept 1t well sup
piled with original verse and parodies on
popular songs. This person, apparently
a woman by the handwriting, always
signed her ''pomes" with the nom de

One effort entitled There's Guard
in the Heart of Mexico" does not stick
to facts, but a little thing like this must
be overlooked in poetry Another one
reads as follows:

Two of the District militiamen left
for home today, having been dis
charged on the ground that they have
families dependent upon them. They
are Private Boone of the Signal Corps
and Private Hines of the Field Hospital
unit. The loss of Boone will be felt in
the Signal Corps Company. as he was

AMERICA Is
 MOBILIZED IN WASHINGTON

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 WASHINGTON, April 3-Bowlms America mobiIized in Washington to- day, primed for the national tourney to be inaugurated tonight at the Gen. sus building.
 The bowlers have a merry war al. their own, and the reyerberations from the bowling alley broadsidcs are likely to echo even in the halls of Congress, for when the sun is in the sou-sou-east, as it almost always is at some time of morning, the CapitoHs shadow falls right on the Census building.
 Then, too, if the press agents dream comes true, there will be Congressional team on the waxed floors to compete with the Milwaukee Germans and the Boston rish-who are coming on a special train for supremacy
 Their fingers crossed and their ra5- bits feet handy, the bowlers hoped that President Wilson would accept their invitation to roll the first ball, or do whatever is done when a bowl ing tournament is opened
 When Washington has anything so big it doesn't know what to do with it, the Census building is called on. The last time they used it was when the National Guard camped here.
 Washington has 15O teams entered, New York has fifty BowIers from all over the country are here, identi- fled principally by calloused thumbs.
 This tournament is to be the second in the country at which there will be three classes-candlepins, duckpin5 and the old-fashioned, portIy tenpins.
 There is to be a Philadelphia night  and a New York night. If managers are given any sort of encouragement at all, probably there will be night for each city represented and some that ought to be represented.

HOW A MAN WHO LANDED ON
WOOD PILE AND WAS SORE
FROM HEAD TO FOOT
FOUND QUICK RELIEF

Once upon a time Edwin Putnam,
who lives in the quiet, pretty hamlet
OF Wendell Depot, Mass, climbed up
into loft to get some building ma.
terial, Just as many another man liv-
ing in the country must often do.
Suddenly he slipped and fell. Ten feet
below was pile OF wood, knotted and
gnarled. 1t was a nasty tumble, and
Mr.. Putnam was injured painfully in
the back, he was covered with bruises,
and was sore from head to foot.
The next day he bought a bottle
of Sloan's Liniment which had been
recommended to him. Within a very
few hours the soreness had vanished
and the lameness had disappeared. He
was an active man once more.
Sloans Linlment can be obtained at
all drug stores, CSC, SOC and $1.O0.
