CASEY WRITES HOME

To show that the boys at Camp Meade are still able to enjoy them selves, we quote the following excerpt from a letter from Casey Jones to I. N. Hart:
 "We had a badger fight the other night; one of the first lieUtenants pulled the badger out of his hole, much to the delight of the angry mob. He hasn't shown up for drill since, and I am told that he is in for a transfer
 "The badger is today doing duty as a "white owl" In order to see him, one has to get on his hands and knees and peek through a hole in a box, and in the meantime some vulgar engineer gets into action with a slat. So far the exhibition has been a success and they are coming from all parts of the camp to see the white owl that the 27th engineers have for a mascot"

"POOL-SHOOTIN' ROY
By Damon Runyon

By Damon Runyon Son O ol' Mig McAuliffe, the widder O
 Box-Car Jack,
 An op time shack on the Santa Fe,
 who run to Dodge and back. He was killed in a wreck at La Junta,
 and he left the wife and boy A kid knee-high to a hop-toad, and
 tagged by the name O Roy. This Roy was sort O ornery, and he
 nevery would go to school. He spent the most O childhood days
 in learnin' the game O pool. His shoulders grew somewhat round
 ed, and his chest it grew rather
 thin
 But, gosh, he grew to a marvel at
 knockin' them pool balls in! Pool-Sbootin' Roy we called him, and
 many a night I've set Watchin' him clean the table, and puff
 fin his cigarette. Sleeves rolled up to the elbow, and
 playin' so cam and cool If ever a lad was born for a thing,
 he was born for playin' this pool! Fifteen balls was a cinch for him
 fifteen balls from the break; One ball loose from the bunch a bit,
 and the whole darned rack he'd
 take.
 He was great on combination, and
 great on cut-shot, too He'd make those pool balls talk to him
 when he started handlin' cue! Days he'd stand on the corners, bat tin his eyes at the sun Nights he was busy at Dan McGuire's
 maxim some wonderful run. His shoulders grew somewhat round
 ed, and his chest it grew rather
 thin,
 But better'n better this Roy got at
 knockin' them pool balls in. And some of us thought he'd be cham
 peen, but every one didn't agree, For Doctor Wilcox wanted to bet he'd
 die of the old T. B. But this war it settled the question,
 for the first of our kids to go Was Pool-Shootin' Roy McAuliffe- our poolrooms suffered blow. What is that thing the Frenchmen
 give to a good game fightin' boy? Say it again-the Croix de Guirre?
 We'll, that's what they give to Roy. It seems fifteen Germans were on him, 1 and handlin' him rather mean, When he got a machine gun to work l in and pocketed the hull fifteen!

SHOULD STOP THE PRACTICE

Boys are in the habit of toboggan- ing or riding bicycles on the side walks in the business part of town, which indulgence should at once stop ped, before a serious accident occurs. The cutting around a corner by a lad on a bicycle may cause him to run over a woman or child with fatal re- suits.

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-02-07

American women are vitality in
terested in this war, and the most i'm
portant thing that women can now
do to help their country is to create,
guide, form and foster a public opin-
ion favorable to President Wilson'S
conduct of the war;" declared Mrs.
Charles A. Jackson of Waterbury
when she was asked, What is the
most important thing a woman can
do to help win this war; Mrs. Jack
son is a member of the committee on
woman's activities of the Connecticut
State Council of Defense and governor
for Connecticut of the International
Federation of Catholic Alumnae. The
following interview with her was
made public today by the State Coun-
Gil of Defense:
THE mental attitude of the women
of the nation just be one which will
strengthen, not only the morale of
the army, but the morale of the peo-
ple," she continued. I'VE must stiff
en- their determination, bolster up
their courage, awaken the spirit of
sacrifice, and give them the will to
win In this war we need a large
accession of moral obligation. We
Americans are fortunate in the high
and lofty motives for which we en-
tered the war. Our, conduct of it and
the peace for which we seek will, in
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-02-07

generations to come, prove US, as a
people, to be capable of the highest
form of moral passion, patriot
ism.
'In war time women can not be
considered a separate part of the
body polite. All American women
will support President Wilson until an
honorable and permanent peace shall
be brought about by the great army
under his direction.
Again, I repeat, we need an ac-
cession of the passion of patriotism.
This can be created and kept alive
only through spiritual means. In
Belgium, Cardinal Mercier's tones
rang above the clash of arms, and
Germany's failure to consider the
moral purposes and spiritual i'm
pulses of men will bring about her
ultimate defeat.
'And so the women of Connecticut
may best help to win this war by
strengthening and heartening our
men to win on the battlefields, by be-
ing ready with wise counsel, careful
conservation and patient endurance at
home, and above all, by keeping clear
and pure the ideal of a Democracy
which will grant privileges to none,
will hearken to all pleas for justice,
and grant to every nation, great and
small alike, the right to Life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness

CALICO IS SHOWN
IN STUNNING
COLORS

Calico is to be revived, according
to late reports from the maker of
cotton dress fabrics. Whether this
revival is due to the war (calico and
war seem to belong together) or
whether it is merely the time in the
cycle of fashion for it to reappear is
not evident.
There are many of this generation
who hardly know what calico is I'M
less they have seen it in their grand
mothers patchwork quilts or have
got some idea from reading about
it in old fashioned novels.
OF course, the calico of 1918 will
not be the homely stuff of the times
when women dressed in drabs or gen.
orally unlovely colors. All sorts of
attractive designs and colorings are
to come in under the name of calico
and much of the fabric will be much
lighter in weight and doubtless far
less substantial than the old time
calicoes which American women
wore, dark ones for morning and
light ones in the afternoon after
work was done.
Wool must be used in moderation
and may become so costly that only
the rich can indulge in it. We can't
all of US wear silks all the time. Be-
sides we are also told that silk is be-
coming scarce. Cotton is more ex-
pensive than formerly, but is still
within the range of possibility. So
we can as soon as the weather will
permit wear our calicoes and muslins
and cotton voiles, and it is none too
soon to be getting them ready, for
spring always brings so many things
to be done. After such a severe win
ter we are likely to have a sudden
plunge into warm weather, and
many are getting through a winter of
much cold and little coal with the
heartening hope of an early spring.
Perhaps we shall be wearing net
ties before long. This does not sound
comfortable to persons accustomed to
the softest of silk and wool, yet the
product of the nettle is said to be a
silky fiber which may be made in
to fabrics which are not only strong,
but really good looking.
The Germans were the first to util-
ize nettle fiber successfully, and the
British are now following their ex-
ample, planting waste acres with this
easily grown plant.
