duty it was to supply this egg was OF

came to the conclusion that as a meas

The Victory Look.
BY CAPT. ALEX G. r. PAUL,
Reclamation Service.

We are going to offer you bit of
pertinent advice this week, Mr.. Camp
Meade Soldier:
GET A VICTORY. APPEARANCE
no THAT SERVICE HAT OF YOURS
AND KEEP 1T THERE.
Some years ago there was a sue
cessful play which was called 1.-The
Ten Thousand Dollar Look" That was
these United States, began to test it's
real strength. Ittakes a billion-d dollar
look to attract attention now.
Remember, man, you are a part of
the United States Army, which has
just won the greatest victory Of all
time. All the world has itsseyes on
the American Army. Your own home
countrymen admire you. Are you go
ing to be a SLOUGH and abuse that con-
fidence?
Nothing makes bigger difference
in your appearance than your hat.
Don't you know you can take a fellow
with a fine physique and good features
and put a hat on him that is mis-
shapen, soiled and untidy and he will
not attract nearly as favorable atten-
ton as the ordinary looking lad with
a Spick hat.
1t is almost time for Christmas
passes. You will want to look your
very best on this merriest of Yule-
tides. You want to make an impress
sion. Uncle Sam has hat renovation
plant at Camp Meade to help you do
your part in keeping up the appear
ance the country has a right to expect
from you.
If your hat has begun to take on q
woe-begOne appearance, take it to
your supply officer. Do not wait until
it is too late Camp Meade hatters are
experts from the biggest hat manu-
featuring concerns in the world. We
are prepared to renovate a thousand
hats week. And after your hat has
been renovated keep it looking we'll.
Watch against waste and untidiness
and If the other fe48ow next to you is
one of those careless individuals who
always looks untidy, make it your bus
mess to help him brush up and teach
him how to take care of his clothing
And let us again impress upon you
these don'ts: Positively do not mark
the hat. Mark swaziland instead, An
1ndelible ink mark on the hat will
spread during the renovation process
and will also disflgure any other hat
with which 1t may come in contact.
positively, do not cut holes in sides
or your hat through which to pass
leather cords. Instead lift up hat band
and discover in your hat two small
holes correctly made and placed for
that purpose. Large holes unneces-
sarily and unskillfully cut in sides
both destroy the beauty of the Army
campaign hat and prematurely short
en- its life.

1t is the practice Of nearly all the Y.
M. c. A. secretaries to take some kind
Of physical exercise each morning before
going on duty, but 1t seems that the
base hospital hut has stepped one notch
ahead Of the other huts by inauguratHhg
a new stunt. This exercise is walking
and is taken at the close Of the days
work instead Of at the beginning.
1t seems that on q recent evening one
of the secretaries stationed at the base
hospital attended q committee meeting
Of the athletic association at the Admin
ietration building, which was not dis
missed until about 8 o'clock. Being @
popular young man, he was at once in
vited to one of the huts located about a
mile southwest from there to participate
in lunch. Likewise being Of a nature
that was never known to refuse any,
thing to eat, he at once accepted. After
walking to this hut with visions OF a
banquet constantly before his eyes, his
temper was somewhat ruffled when he
was handed q nice, large, juicy apple
the extent Of the feed. After endeavor-
ing to appear in a jovial mood for a
short time consistent with courtesy, he
started on his return trip of some three
miles back to his hut. We. do not care
to divulge the hour Of his arrival, as it
is not the practice Of secretaries to re-
main out at such an hour. but we are
informed that taps had long since
sounded and the guards were silently
patrolling their sections when he finally
tiptoed into his room.
Any secretary desiring to challenge
this secretary can do so by dropping a
note in the Administration building ad-
drAQanH ssvr0 tho Wa1 lrinU n0iQCaf0 nf
the Y. NJ. C. A." However, we do not
think 1t wise for any one who is not a
fast walker to give this exercise any
consideration, for the speed Of this Sec
rotary is SO great that the guard on q
certain section commanded him three
times to halt. which he failed to do. We
do not know whether 1t was due to fear.
owing TO the lateness Of the hour, or to
the speed at which he was going that
he failed to obey the command

LADIES OF LAUREL, ND,
MADE VERY, VERY SAD
Officers of SD F. A., Grave and

There are a score or more of young
ladies Tin fact, constantly growing
circle) at the Y. w. C. A., at Laurel,
Md, who will be very sad at the de-
parture of the officers of the 33d F.. A.
The regiment Is just completing it's
rehabilitation and Col. Boards men
have scattered to many states. Among
these were Lieut.. George L. Thorpe
Of Battery c and Lieut.. J. II. Arrants
of the regimental exchange.
Lieuts Thorpe and Arrants were Sc
lected by the committee in charge of
athletics to instruct the members in
calisthenics. 1t is not known just
why they were chosen from all the
very popular and efficient officers OF
the regiment, but some of their
friends were so unkind as to say that
bearing and<general attractiveness.
"Just the INCEST Fellows!"
The important point about their
work in Laurel is that the ladies
think they are Gust the incest off,
GERS; they smile when the ladies make
mistakes; they never say aught Of the
guardhouse, and their clothes fit them
superbly."
Col. Beard was asked Dy the lieu
tenants II the commander would give
them permission to make regular Wis
its to Laurel for the purposes "men-
toned" and the colonel agreed read
lily. He asked. good naturedly. how
ever, If the much desired gentlemen
wished him to issue regimental or

did not care.

cises, a performance which sometimes
sets down several of the fair dam

Thorpe sees to the foot work. and as
he Is a good dancer. there Is little
trouble experienced by him in this
task.

this. For the benefit of the ladies in

know that Lieut.. Thorpe Is a New

HIRED A BED, But
SLEPT ON THE FLOOR
Cowan and Jackson Of Utilities Set
New Example Of Unselfsh
Devotion.

There are some things about life in
the Army that mako for better and
sterner manhood, beyond a doubt, and
sometimes these developments come
in peculiar ways. Corp. John r. Cow
an and Sergt. H. A. Jackson of the
Utilities know this, and this is a tale
which Is now being told about them:
Not more than few days ago they
went to Baltimore and q friend en-
gagged a room with a double bed,
thinking that only Cowan would ap-
pear The hotel was the Howard.
Before the friend and Cowan had
been In the room very long zeal!
came from Jackson, who was ushered
Immediately into the room. He stated
that he understood that provision had
been made for him and that owing to
the crowded conditions in the hotels
he could not obtain accommodations
elsewhere.
The Argument.
But" said Cowan," we forgot all
about YOU. It's too bad. We do not in
tend to let you suffer, though. You and
our friend occupy the bed and I'll
sleep on the floor"
Thanks, old man." said Jackson,
the boy for the floor stuff"
The friend then announced that he
was terribly distressed about the sit
uation and that he really felt that
owing to his responsibility he should
be the one to give up the place in
bed.
This pleased neither Cowan nor
Jackson. The argument went on for
hours-in fact. it was long past taps"
before any one of the three entered the
hotel and it was now long since for
gotten. 1t was really coming to a
point where the friend was thinking
OF calling in the M. P.'s. but the happy
solution was yet to come.
'T shall not go to bed" said Cowan.
'T shall not go to bed" said Jackson
The result was that Cowan and
Jackson both slept on the floor. Only

friend Ask the roadbuilders about
