wild Oats Unnece ssary," Says Girl in
Confidential Letter

Ihe following is an extract from a
ietter written by young lady to a
friend in the army:
Xxx And you ask me a question or
questions as to how / felt about boys
VINO promiseuously selected their girl
company. Well, 1 will answer it just
as honestly as | know how.
To begin with, I decidedly do not like
II, and think that it shows a weakness
OF character, which, if continued, be-
gins to become habit, just as smok
ing drinking, etc. becomes a habit.
Especially when INDUCED in to ex-
cess Then it lowers the boys stand
ards, and he loses some of the respect
and courtesy that he should have for
women. For such girls as he would
pick up would necessarily be girls with
different principles and morals than
WomanIy girls who hold themselves
above such things.
must confess that [ know very lit
tie about army life except that / real
lze how great a struggle it must be
for boy who had the right home
training, but / should judge that the
girls who make practice of visiting
camp come for the purpose of making
chance acquaintance, and would not
be the type to influence the boys to
OClleI tLIHSS ana HlgneF tnOuSntS.
feel that the boys need strong, true
friendships. and people to whom they
can look for help, and who will hold
them up to their ideals
If boys are allowed to be familiar
with girls, they begin to think that all
girls are the same land I blame the
girls as much as the boys) and they
they treat everyone in the same manner
and the great big thing in life, love,
means so very little to them You
know that if a boy does not love girl
and yet is allowed to touch her, he will
never love that girl, and so he goes on
from girl to girl, and every time he
loses just SO much of himself as she
does of herself, and it can never be re-
gained by either one.
/ feel very strongly about the whole
matter personally, and could never adj
mire and respect a fellow who made
picking up a practice, for to me there
would be no sincerity or depth to him
1t would all be shallow love making
and pastime for the moment, and
would have absolutely no trust in the
man at ALL
A man should not expect more of a
girl than he is willing to live up to
himself That is why I question the
attitude of the boys in camp toward
Trench and camp. [volume] (Augusta, Ga.) 1917-1919, 1917-12-12

this practice of theirs. Do they like to
think that the girls they leave at home
are running around with anybody and
everybody just as they are doing in
camp I do not think so. / believe
they think of the girl at home as be-
ing all that is true and womanly and
they ought to do right and live up to
the ideal that the girl has of them. ]
have never believed that it was neces-
sary for boys to sow their wild oats, for
it just as necessary for boys
to look into the future as it
is for the girls, and since the boy be-
Iieves the one girl will be pure and
true, so he should live in the right way
in order to be fit for her when the
time comes

There will be four complete shows at the Davis today and the bill of Keith vaudeville and photoplays Is one of the finest of the season. The headline attraction is the GuZbani troupe of acrobats, who present a sen sational athletic novelty, performing many difficult feats on their rolling globes. This is a big time attraction and is we'll worth seeing. Dickens & Floyd present a novel comedy sk1t, with some excellent singing and com edy talk. They carry their own seen cry and have been a big hit the past two days. The third act is Leighton & Kennedy. They are billed as the Nonsensical Duo and for real fun they have one of the best comedy acts seen here this season.
 In the photoplays the feature is Dorothy Gish in The Little Yank, a f1ve-part Fine Arts production. She's a real live girl and she took a thrill ing part in the struggle between north and south. She was a border girl torn between loyalty to the Union and love for a southern officer. To complete the show your old friend Charlie Chaplin is seen in Easy Street, his latest com edy. This picture affords Chaplin the most exciting series of adventures imaginable, involving a love affair with pretty Edna Purviance, whom he rescues from the clutches of a ward political crook in characteristic Chaplin fight scene.
 For the first half of next week an other big bill is booked both in vau- deville and pictures. Watch The Bull ietin Monday for the full particulars

DANCE COMMITTEE
 MUCH ENCOURAGED
Inquiries Have Been Made About New
 X-tRay Machine.


 The first Red Cross First Aid class who are giving the whist and dance on Easter Monday, April g, the pro- peeds of which are to go towards the fund, started by the Kings Daughters, for the purpose of buying a new K Ray machine for the William w Backus hospital, feel much encouraged by the support which has been given them in their effort. The interest and encoura cement shown have been so great, they feel they may hope to go 8 long way towards completing the fund to secure the new machine, which will cost in the neighborhood of S1,500. Members of the class have been as- pertaining prices and a committee has visited nefghboring hospitals to see modern and powerful machines.
 The modern machine differs from the old one chiefly in the force of elec- tric current, as well as being simpler in management. The modern machine needs an exposure Of one-fourth, one half to one second, while with the less powerful one an exposure of 30 to 40 seconds long is required. This short ening practically eliminates the fear of burns. as we'll as being much cas- fer for the patient, for perfect rigidity during the exposure is necessary to obtain good plate. In the new ma chine the danger to the operator from the electricity is eliminated. there be- ing a small cabinet into which he can step during @the exposure, watching through a window.
