Talked Navy Slam.

"Now, this striper takes me I'D in
the eyes and shows me little gadget,
where all you had to do was press a
doohickey, turn over a gimick, and
blooey-it would sink every tin fish
within mile" So said the tanned
and wind-burned young sailor Of the
u. S. S. Florida. Everyone on the
subway platform turned to look at
him. What he was talking sounded
like English, but 1t wasn't the English
spoken in New York. In the latest
for of navy slang the sailor was tell
ing how an ensign had shown him
how to work depth bomb down at
Guantanamo bay, Cuba. A "striper"
is an ensign, and the "eyes" the front
of the ship. "Gadget' and "gimick"
are words that fit any continuance the
sailor doesn't know the name of, and
'tin fish" is the latest word for SUBJ
marine.-New York Sun.

Two NJ = Nan,a

Two neighbors of young couple
who had been married but few weeks
were greatly surprised to hear unmis-
taxable sounds of quarreling between
them. Charlie" the young wife was
heard to say imperiously, IF you ever
come into this house again and muddy
my carpets with your feet. back home
you gol" THAT'S serious" said one
neighbor to the other, and they pro-
ceeded to discuss the question whether
the young pair could live together an
other week. The next day, however,
a curly haired black pup was seen
playing on the lawn of the new house
holders. "Charlie," the young wife
was saying to the new pet, 'I'm sorry
I scolded you last night, but your feet
were terribly muddy"

years ago Nhen Jim was setting the
Southern league on fire he fell upon
the idea Of keeping tab on individual
batters and also the different teams
as whole. He did this with aid Of
q pocket memorandum.
After each game Bagby would re-
cord the success or failure of this or
that batter, adding such notes regard
ing the batter's style as he deemed
useful for future reference and guild
ance. Jim was so successful that sea-
son that he has continued the practice.
The other day Bagby was asked if he
still "kept book" on the batters and
answered in the affirmative. The same
system that worked so well in the
Southern league has been just as eff
fective in the American. Jim was
tipped off whole heap when he first
went up, but is now in position to
rely upon himself and his own expe-
rienceS and records.

Waacs to Go to Germany.

The high appreciation of the British
army authorities for the Waacs is
shown by an invitation now being
made to the girls to volunteer for
service in Germany. Just as each took
the place of fit man in the critical
days of the war, so each one who now
volunteers to go further forward will
enable one more man to be demobilized
and return to his place as the bread
winner at home. Hitherto the WaacS
have not gone beyond the Franco-Gers
man frontier.
