Show Your Patriotism-Give Your
Records.
Somewhere on the burning sand Of
New Mexico, outside of Silver CITY
stands a camp. Camp Baird is it's
name, and its wards are filled with the
soldiers from overseas who have been
gassed and are now suffering from
its deadly twin, tuberculosis.
1t is a dreary place and not easily
accessible. These unfortunate boys
have been taken there with the hope
that the climate will offer some ale
Walton The help is for the most
part temporary. A few recover, but
the majority have about reached the
end Of their journey. Not a day
passes but solemn cortege marks
the end of brave soul and gives it's
evidence as to German ruthlessness.
Visitors are few, for the one way to
reach this camp is by auto, and the
journey is a long and expensive one.
Consequently only those who have
some deep personal interest ever visit
there.
The crying need for these poor boys
is diversion and entertainment and
music seems to be the thing pre-
eminently desired.
The Mu Phi Epsilon of the Iota AL
pha chapter is little band of women
who have been actively engaged in
various kinds of patriotic work, al
though they have not been advertis-
ing the fact. At the present time
they are taking steps to supply ma
chimes and records for each of the
wards in this hospital. This need is

to the American Y, called the Eagle
Hut. We stayed there all night
We got our supper there and went TO
a show. The people here are crazy
about shows. Sunday morning at 3
o'clock we started out on our trip for
the day. We went down the Strand
which is the busiest place in London.
We came to Trafalgar Square and
saw the large monument In memory
of Nelson. Then we went down the
street leading to Buckingham palace.
Both sides Of the streets were lined
with captured German guns. We
came to Buckingham palace, there is
nothing fancy about it, but 1T is very
large. The next place we saw was
Westminster Abbey. We got there
at 1915 and met Y man who said
we could go in if we wanted to and
attend the service. So we went in.
The interior is beautiful. \Around
the walls are busts of Englands great
men. Across the road is the house
of Parliament. 1t is fancier build
ing than / thought it was. All the
time l did not see a building over
six or seven stories high.
After dinner we went to st. Paul's
cathedral. 1t is quite a place and
very pretty inside. 1t took over 400
years to build it. Then we went
across London bridge. always
thought it was a much larger bridge
than it is, not as large as the Brook
lyn bridge in New York. The Thames
river is not very wide but quite deep
We went back across the Tower
bridge and saw the Tower of London.
l wanted to go through it but it is
not open ON Sunday. 1t is a desolate
looking old place. All around it is
a large moat which used to be filled
with water as one means of protection
but there is no water in it now. We
also saw the oldest church in England
which was built in the 10th century
We came to lots Of places where there
had been air raids.

see some of the old battle grounds
and we sure did see them. We went
into one of the forts there where the
battle of Verdun was fought and Lord

went, but l know by the time we got
back up my legs were so tired I
could hardly move them.

Dear Mother:
Back again Sunday night, got
through work at noon and thought
I'd write a little this afternoon but
instead lay down and spent the rest
of the day sleeping. / sure would
like to know what you folks think of
me but anyhow seeing my name is
Chester j, think it'll be all right.
We're out of the old tents at last.
Have barracks with steam heat,
spring beds, good mattress, plenty of
blankets, SO how can we kick?
We also have three shifts now and
maybe will have right along, "a hours
on and 48 hours off, not bad at all.
Everything is running smooth. Do
not be surprised to hear anytime that
/ have reenlisted. Now don't get
sunstrolSe over the thoughts of it but
sometimes accidents will happen. Re-
member when you got that letter from
Harry when he was in Camp Grant,
/ think, saying there might be such
thing that he would follow it up!
Well / laughed at the time but things
have changed. Well, no dear, I'm
far from such. The quicker they
can get me out Of here is going to be
too long.
We're out here on the Atlantic
shore, that is about a mile from the
coast. We're about mile from the
city of South Amboy and the city lays
right on the coast. We're near enough
so we get a nice breeze off the water.
/ want to run over to the city while
I'm here for / don't think III get
better chance. We can go over in an
hour and half. It's about % miles
from here to the river. There are
several boys in the company that live
there and are well acquainted so it
will be easier getting around.
There are a number of docks along
the river and while we were passing
the other morning saw several ocean
liners anchored near and saw a cou-
pie as they were launching.
Take it all the way around it is
quite a sight. When we heard we
were coming here we heard we were
going to be the only ones here but
found they have quite a post here
and at present there are about 1000
soldiers.
Maybe you read about the Glispic
powder plant that blew up last Oc-
guarding the place. Then there's
here being guarded also.
But the one thing we would like to
know is how long they are going to
keep us here, but it seems quite i'm
possible to find out. Here's where
twist but will write again soon,
hoping this finds all of the folks as
well as it leaves me well and happy.
Lovingly,
Chester.

The story contains all the elements

and in, adapting it for the screen the
scenario writer and producer have
succeeded in retaining with remark
able and unusual fidelity the con-
tinuity and action which made the
book one Of the best sellers OF the

that essential of dramatic material.
