Quite a little excitement prevailed CT the upper end of the midway when a frantic mother, wringing her hands and crying, came through the crowd looking for her baby. Everyone be- came interested at once and after few minutes one of the men on duty at the first aid station conducted by the local navy recruiting station came up and told her there was a child about three years old who had been lost from it's mother at their tent.

So much fun was Ee having that he didn't want to leave, and cried when his mother carried him off However, she promised to bring him back to see his new friends and content with the promise he quit crying and became interested in the red ball loon that E. Wells, gunner's mate, assisting H. W. Jarvis. chief pharma- cist mate, who has charge of the first aid station, had bought him.
