Texas, and somebody is scrapp-

the Filipino cook chased one of
the firemen three or four rounds

because the coal HEAVIER called
him a "goo-goo," which is the
nome commonlp applied to Flip

This goo-goo objects most viol-

trip in the mead, and of course
| was not one bit sorry of it. In
a short time | was transferred to

good news. go home.
Everything has been dead with
the boys in camp since the arm
istice was signed. All say, the
war is over. | want to go home ;"
and no one can blame us. But of
course the government has to
have time to discharge us. But
it seems that boys at other camps
are already home, why not us?|
Fell sure our time is close at
hand. as some from our company
leave tomorrow for Camp Shelby, |
Miss. Fifteen of us boys from
New Mexico are expecting to be
sent to Camp Cody, N. M. soon
to be discharged.
I'would give an outline of the
army life, but you have already |
been told all about it, and your
'elitives and friends can tell you

when they return from camps.
There are many things in the

D 1t was announced this morninI
IN our wireless press that Ger
l many had signed the arinistice

| am only sorry that | am no
thero to jubilate with 'em, but
suppose now that it will be a

letter until | return, but ther
again, | may mail it at Gibraltar
or In Italy. 1t all depends upor
the censorship regulations.
We have had a holiday today,
and since nobody has anything in
particular to do, they ase doing
it in the peighborhood of , the

this, If you can: Just outside

telling what they are gonna"

me in the ships baker (the gal

chick back in Ioway, way out

that she will succomb to the

ed that some id Stacker always
gets the best of everything, at
which | was moved to point out
to him THAI that any soldier who
was back from the trenches was
not necessarily a Stacker. But
that didn't feaze him. He said
that the son-of-a-gun would have
been a Stacker if he hadn't afraid
the draft would get MIN. He
happens to know this particular
soldier, and rather>modestly ad-

her away from him. Now. how
ever, he informs me, that he has
been informed. by a mutual
friend eI don't quite get the
meaning of the word mutual"
here) that she is corresponding
with the doughboy. and that he,
the baker, had better look to his
fences. He said: Il amt in love
with her, see! but | just don't
want to let her slip anything over

mt in love with her, that's plain
to see. He's plumb past that

him that if he didn't want to get

Bathing Costume for Tennis Is tho
Ab5reviating of an Alb
breViation.

This is the day of brevity. The
names of states and cities are abbrevi-
ated. Christian appellations are cut
short and initials substituted. The gro
Ger abbreviates potatoes to "spuds"
and condenses Crackers" to "crax."
The butcher writes "PC" when he
means pork chops" and the chemist
shortens "water" to "H-2-O." The
printer. referring to "a mass of balled-
up type" cusses and calls it ''pi."
Likewise, the sport writer's character
lie the "knock out" as "KO." The
doctor indicates 'sOd-cac" when he
wants sodium cacodylate."
But authorizations are not confined
to words. The Yanks abbreviated the
war. The rising cost of living has alb
breviated the purchasing power of
dollar. The airplane has abbreviated
space. and electricity has abbreviated
time itself. The Laundry often abbrevi-
ates the size of ones new shirt. FASH
ion frequently abbreviates costumes.
There is, however. such thing as
abbreyiating too much. For In France.
bathing suit is considered sufficient
raiment for one who is In the SWIM
ming pool, but 1t is highly objection
able elsewhere. Tennis players clad In
bathing suits are carrying the abbrevi-
alton habit too far.
They are abbrevia ing abbreviation!
