Missing Good Things When
You Don't Jointhe Navy, Is
Opinion of Jimmy Malone

Navy life, both on its seamy and
cheerful sides is discussed in a deter
which F. ]. Oliver. in charge of the
local naval recruiting office has re-
ceived from, James L. Malone, for
merly of the Herald editorial staff,
now at the Great Lakes training sta
ton, near Chicago.
Malone, with George Engstrom of
the Herald advertising department
who r mentioned in the letter which
follows. have been in the Great Lakes
training camp for the last five weeks.
Dear Oliver:-One month ago I
promised to write to you as soon as
the Grand Forks boys reached the
Great lakes.
That month has been the busiest
and most eventful I have yer expert
enced and not until today have 1 felt
that I could spare enough time to tell
you about the greatest naval train
ing station in the world.
AS you have already heard. the
Grand Forks recruits passed the ex-
animation at Minneapolis without
trouble and we were Immediately sent
to this station.
We arrived here at 8 o'clock in the
morning and were ushered to the re-
|ceiving station where WI we're assign

No vacation awaited. US and we
were put to work at once and we are
still working. We were informed that
the first 81. days here would be spent
in detention, in order that the SAM
ltation system adopted by the. navy
might be thoroughly impressed upon
U.S.. To say the least. the plan was
very successful as I for one, know
more about cleanliness than I ever
before imagined.
For instance, I have seen a rookie
scrub the whole side of a building
because he put his muddy foot
against it.
We have been >examined for every
disease known and some unknown.
With trembling knees we lined up for
those terrible ''shots in the arm that

surprise We came away unhurt. !

lions and missed a day Of drill.
The torture Of these ''shots" is found
alone in the mental suffering prior to
the jab Of the needle.
Detention is not pleasant. but it
could be much worse h new re-
cruit enters camp fresh from home
where he has enjoyed complete lib

recruit that is most important.

Dear Social Corner Sisters:. Long and many months have passed since have written to The Corner, and per- haps many have forgotten about me. Many changes have taken place with me, in the past two years, and per haps it has happened to many of the other Cornerites; but nevertheless l have made it point to always find time to read and develop new ideas from names quite often in The Corner, which I am very much pleased to see as it shows me new interest is talk en; but I miss many of the older writers.
 All these years I have tried many times to learn who Aunt Mary was. and at last I have learned she is one of my nearest neighbors. I ought to have guessed, as many of her essays I have heard and read.
 I saw by Saturdays Bulletin that Etta Barber attended the Fair at Norwich. If it was her first attend unable to attend any day. I often said she was not afraid of coming to the point on many things and now she wants to know why the writers are ashamed of their yellow bow" and omit to put it before our eyes.
 Perhaps Etta Barber will favor us with a nice letter about her outing at Flat Rock last week, and her unex- pected auto ride on that same day. She town and make me a visit, which l hope will be in the near future.
 In the near future I hope to become more acquainted with some of our able

Priscilla and her mother, Bal.ed Beans, and our host were equally ideal.
 They made us feel SD thoroughly welcome. and through all the hours of that happy day their gracious hospi- tality and thoughtful care for the com- fort of their guests were unfailing.
 The attendance was very large. I met ma " old friends and number of new ones.
 We were sociable, jolly crowd. During he morning we conversed and some sewed or knit. Bunch was served very promptly and we had even more than the usual abundance and variety. The ice cream so generously furnished by The Bulletin was greatly enjoyed. But on this occasion it was not the finale to the feast. That was some de- licious watermelons.
 At intervals, before and during lunch, we had music from the Victrola.
 After lunch there was a splendid en- tertainme mt consisting of ecitations, dialogues and, music.
 A pleasant feature of tEe day was the presence of several of our most elderly members. It was great pleas ure to met and talk with Grandma and others.
 I thought several times of the first Social Corner picnic at the home, on the camp ground, of Married and Hap py, nearly five years ago. Then very few Sisters, ten or twelve, if my memory serves me right, gathered and had a most enjoyable time. Pro bably none of us thought to see a Social Corner picnic attended by nearly a hundred Sisters, and few brethren.

BUYING ANTIQUES.

Dear Social Corner Folks Has any one seen this party? One day recently a party called at my home. He seemed to be very wealthy, as he made a very fine appearance and sporteu diamonds. He wanted to sell a horse, and when l counted out the amount he asked, he laughed at me and refused 1t point blank.
 Now hat could have been his mo- tive? He waN vNr1- nice looking alta very pleasant to talk to. lie very nice IooA--.s young iady for a companion. They did not tarry very long.
 I wondered if he belonged to the Social Corner. as he woIc our color in his buttonho.S. I asked him if he belonged to the Social Corner and he merely said "No!" Has any other Sister had call from this couple?
 They drove away without leaving their address.
 If this article reaches their eyes l hope they will call again and stay longer, so I can learn more about them.
 They said they were buying an- tiques.

THOUGHTS FROM AUNT MARY,

Dear Social Corner Friends: I was much amused yesterday in listening to story of a little boy who had been reproved by his mother for being naughty. She told him God would not hear him say his prayers if he was so naughty.
 After he went to his room for the night she heard him talking very loud
 She asked him what he was doing
 He said he was saying his prayer so loud that God couldn't help hear ing him.
 I hope no Social Corner mother will tell her child that God does not love them if they do wrong. Where would we all be today if that was true Ra- ther tell them that God loves them so much that 1t makes Him very sorry to have them do wrong, and that He will forgive every one who does wrong if they are sorry and will ask Him to help them to try and do the best they can.
 It is such a help to a Christian mother when her strength and pa tience is taxed almost to the limit of endurance by the cares and anxietfes of the home life where there are sev- ral dear ones depending on her: to know that God knows her every need and will supply from His fullness all the patience and grace needed.
 When we think of the loving kind ness and patience of God to us with our many heart wanderings from Him

WAYS TO SERVE PINEAPPLE.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: These are excellent pineapple recipes: Pineapple Cake-Cream three table spoons Of butter, add one cu1. of sugar slowly, one egg and two egg yolks beat with an egg beater two minutes add one-haf cup of milk and one ard | three-quarters cups of flour sifted l with three and half teaspoons of | baking powder, using the egg beater | instead Of tho spoon for mixing the cake.
 Put the filling given below between the layers an1 the result Is delicious: Beat s,ne-half pint of cream until pineapple and powdered sugar to sweeten. Sliced pineapple which has been canned is best to use. Draining it once, then chopping and draining again.
 Pineapple Dessert: Beat the whites of three eggs to a froth, add to them gradually three tablespoons of powder ed sugar, and beat until stiff: flavor with vanilla and teaspoon of orange juice. Whip one pint cream and stir. or fold 1t at little at a time, into the egg and sugar: add can of grated pineapple, or ripe pineapple. Mix thoroughly and serve in punch glass es. 't
 It will add to the beauty of the dish if a little whipped cream is put on the top of each glass.

A CHAIN LETTER SCHEME.

Dear Social Cornerites: I received chain letter requesting me to send nine copied letters like the one received to nine of my friends. I am not acquainted with the one who Is responsible for my receiving this let ter. but I would like to say that could not impose on m.s friends by asking each one to pay out 25 cents for paper and postage, and to send nine more. for before you are aware of the fact the cost scars up into dollars.
 I do not care to take the respon- sfbility of such an undertaking. l was requested not to break the chain. but there was no name signed, so l cannot return the letter to you.
 I cannot conscientiously keep the ball a rolling.
 I sent the letter you sent me to a Social Corner Sister who said she looked at 1t and seeing what it was deliberately put it in the waste basket Under no consideration would she take any such letters to write.
 hope the sender will take this in as kindly spirit as it is written.
 KITTY LOU.
 (No Sister should enter upon such a chain letter system. When they are for religious purposes they are ridic- ulous if not b1asphemons: and when for other purposes fraud. There is no sense in the scheme-there may be fraud, or there may be foolishness be- hind it; both will be evaded by ignor- ing every such proposal.-the Social Corner Editor.)
