PORTERl
Good Evening.

This summer there's no porters Got to carry your own bags, See to every single thing Down to the express tags. Red caps are very scarce, No one looking for tip You've got to step on it today If you're going to take any trips Is 1t worth it to go places, To stanu '>ours in a ticket line? Where are tire parlor cars of yesteryear When everything was so fine? This summer there's no porters You might as well travel in rags, You're going to find it hard To carry your own bags.

The Brighter Side
by Damon RunyOn

10 command the division In
France, who gave IL the name
when. on noting its composition,
he remarked:
why, it's regular rainbow"
And as the Rainbow the AID
made military history in World
War l, fighting on a score of
different battlefields.
There is no doubt that the
name Rainbow added TO its
fame. 1t caught the magma
ton of the American public. 1t
also produced imitation through
out the AEF. All other divi-
sions soon had titles-"The
Wildcat Division" The Red
Arrow Division" and so on.
A few Of the old regular army
divisions stood haughtily aloof
from the fashion, but l thought
it was a good thing because it
tickled the fancy of the soldiers.
They felt that the trick names
gave their outfits distinction.
7 FEAR that the names will
L have none of the publicity
values in this war that they had
in World War /. because this
one is being conducted with such
secrecy that divisions are rarely
identified from the battle fronts,
which in my opinion is a mis-
take. save of course when the
information might prove of
value to the enemy. ! think
it adds to public interest and
morale when the people know
just where their own boys are
fighting.
For the most imaginative
people in the matter of pic
turesque nomenclature, we have
exploited fanciful titles for our
fighting forces in this war much
less than Britain and even the
enemy. Not that names make
any difference in battle results,
but they certainly increase pub

7 HOPE and trust that the
L veterans of the 42d, or Rain
bow division of the AEF, who
wanted TO see the name of their
old outfit restored, will give me
due credit for it being returned
to the army rolls.
On several occasions I called
attention TO the omission of the
42nd from the numerical order
of the army divisions and stirred
some of the old timers into ask
ing that il be revived, though
others thought that the omission
was a big compliment 10 the
original Rainbows.
Their idea was that the army
authorities felt that this great
unit of Pershing's forces should
be the first and last of that
name and number. However,
the majority of the Rainbow's
vets probably thought that such
a symbol of valor and efficiency
should never be permitted TO
lapse, and 1t IS my conjecture
that their sentiment had much
to do with the recent decision of
the army TO reconstitute the d.
vision.
