The story told the Star by dis
charged soldier of hospital attend
ants who were too careless and I'M
feeling to give water to sick men in
their care is a proof for the strong
suspicion that a good many men who
expected to be drafted volunteered
into the hospital branch, hoping by
so doing to comparatively keep out
of danger. It's the Stars opinion
that the government should give hos
pital work to men who for slight de-
fects are not able to measure up to
the military standard. A man whose
eyesight is not the best, or who is not
quite able to march, all day under a
soldiers load, may nevertheless, if
brave, kind and helpful, be able to do
the best of work for the sick and
wounded. An able-bodied man who
joins the hospital corps because he
thinks he thereby escapes some dan
ger and some work, is not fit to help
sick and wounded soldiers. He should
be set to cleaning the latrines.

"PUNKIN" PlEiS BEST OF ALL
Mans Mouth Still Waters When he
Thinks of the Kind That Mother
Used to Make.

To man still young enough to re-
member sufficiently far back into his
bOyhood years to the time when he
had never had enough dessert in his
life, there is no word In the English
language SO suggestive of toothsome,
hckerish joy as pie, plain pie-par-
ticularly ''punkin."
You can't spell punkin pie with an
I'm" and 'tp," declares writer In the
Milwaukee Journal. Pumpkin pie is
the kind one gets in restaurants, fla
vored with cloves and allspice. 'Pun-
kin" pie has cinnamon and ginger In
it, and sometimes a hint of an unmen-
tiOnable heady fluid about which one
would not dare ask mother. And of
all the smacking. ambrosial delicacies
catalogued under the genus "pie," the
best is "punkin."
There are other kinds, of course
apple, peach, cherry, squash, blueberry,
custard, lemon, mince-and every one
probably has its value in the world.
Some people even may prefer them.
One never can account for different
PCl0OAS LcAotCSs DuL 4OE DOySs JOuuS
men and elderly men whose stomachs
have not yet grown old, there is none
that will approach 'punkin," the
khaki-colored queen Of pastries.
One grows hungry at the thought of
'punkin" pie-the crisp, crinkly crust +;
the thick, rich pungent filling, with the
dust of cinnamon furnishing it's tawny
top; the creamy, dreamy, velvety, far
away taste as ones mouth closes on
its prize. Some appetizing joys there
are. but none that exceeds capturing
a piece of punkin pie, getting 1t into
ones hands, contrary to all social
usage, biting into it, until one almost
mires up to ones nose, until one can
scarce see over the top of the up
standing crust, End beginning the un-
equaled delight of devouring the first
mouthful. To taste 1t is to love 1t,
love it and love forever.

If you really want to be thankful
this year, we commend to you the ex-
ample of the incorrigibly thankful
sailor, who no matter what happened
to him was always thankful it was no
worse. One day, trying to climb into
the rigging, he missed his hold, fell
to the deck and broke his leg. His
friends gathered around him to help
and sympathize, but he he said, swell,
thank God, it wasn't my neck"

Our people should understand that
the officers of the 124th Infantry
(Second Florida) are not responsible
for the deaths at the Camp Wheeler

to take care of their men, and if the

by itself, it is doubtful if any of the
boys had died The trouble is in the
hospital.

District Legislation.

In the report of the District Com
mittee of the Senate filed yesterday
and comprising the appropriation
budget Of the city of Washington for
the fiscal year beginning July I, 1917,
the employees OF the municipal service
have real cause for qualification.
Under the law they are not con-
sidered employees of the government,
though in fact half of their salaries
are paid from Federal revenues. The
action of the Senate Committee yes
tcrday establishes them as de facto
servants Of the government and en-
titled to benefit by the increases in
salary which it is proposed to grant
those in the Federal service. Whether
it be the Smoot amendment affecting
employees receiving $1,000 or less or
the 5 and 10 per cent increases pro-
vided by the House, it is agreed that
the District employees will be included
in the advances.
More than the salary increases is
the. measure of justice that is given
to per diem employees of the Dis
trict. Hitherto they have not shared
in the privileges given employees on
the regular roll.
There has been no real reason for
such discrimination. The employees
render equally as efficient service on
the per diem roll as those on the reg
ular roll The fault appears to be that
the discrimination has not been called
directly to the attention of the mem
bers of Congress in the past. Hence
forth, they will occupy the same
status with regard to pay for legal
holidays as those on the annual pay
roll. -.
Employees in the District service
may we'll commend Joseph H. Hurley
for the vigor and enthusiasm with
which he has espoused their cause be-
fore Congress. At his own expense
he has devoted more than a month of
his time to make certain that the

solution might be in a regular army Of
professional soldiers of sufficient size to
give the country adequate protection.
But what is he doing to obtain such an
army? So far as the country knows.
