Have you ever tried drying the
dishes with twin dish towels? A
fresh dry towel in each hand
disposes of them in the proverbial
twinkling Of an eye.
Remove fresh grease stains
from wallpaper Immediately by
holding clean white blotter over
stain and applying a warm iron.
Move the blotter as it takes up
the grease and use a clean por-
ton to prevent spreading the
stain.
For longer service wash cotton
garments according to the instruc-
tons on the label.
To prevent figs, dates or raisins
from clogging the food chopper
add a few drops of lemon juice.
Mending small snag or rip be-
fore an article goes INTO the wash
ing machine may save a larger
patch later on.
When washing cut glass or
pressed glass articles, apply the
sudsy water with a small hand
brush. It gets the soapy water
into the crevices and removes
dust which dulls the brilliancy Of
the glass.
A little starch added to the wa
ter with which mirrors are washed
will remove soil and give a polish
to the glass.
II you buy wool material that
isn't preshrunk, it's wise to steam
press it to shrink it before cut
ting out a garment.
Tomatoes canned with the pulp
and seeds contain food value not
saved in tomato juice.

Whale Swims Underwater
With Its Mouth Open

You know that a whale breathes
air through its nostrils; just as
you do. But you also know, If you
are a swimmer, that you keep
your mouth closed while you are
under water. Not SO the whale.
It swims with its mouth open, SO
that it can collect the huge guam
titles Of small fish and sea crea-
lures that it needs for food. How's
it done?
Nature has provided the whale
with longer windpipe, reaching
the nostril opening at the back of
the mouth. Thus, although il can
swim along with its mouth open
and full of water, none can get
into the lungs.
incidentally, the quantity Of food
that a whale consumes is enor-
NOUS. Whalers tell us that the
stomachs are often full to BURST
ing-point, and the contents would
amount to several carloadsl

THE STORY SO FAR: Private Marion
Hargrove, former feature editor Of the
Charlotte IN. C.) News, has been In.
Quoted into the army and completed the
frst few weeks Of his training at Fort
Bragg. Before getting into the army,
Hargrove advises seiectees to "paint the
town red" Once i'm, "the frst three
weeks are the hardest" SO keep can
open mind" Hargrove has had plenty Of
trouble learning the fundamentals Of
army life and as result has spent .
good share OF his time on KIP duty.
CLASSIFIED ~ q cook he thinks it's good
experience. His sergeant doesn't agree.
Hargrove has learned large portion Of
army slang and is about to enlighten
the civilian on this score.

CHAPTER VI

When Junior comes home from
camp on furlough or for the week
end, he probably will throw out his
chest, pull his shoulders almost out
Of joint, and speak sort of jargon
entirely unintelligible to you. There
is no cause for alarm; Junior is
merely exaggerating to show off his
familiarity with military life.
You will not be consoled by this
knowledge when he begins speaking
this unknown tongue. In order to
understand some of his CONVERSE
ton, you might tear out this page
and tuck it away in the drawer
with your recipes and patterns.
Goldbricking is an Army term sig
nifying in a word, loafing. In its
strictest sense, it means avoiding
your fair share Of the work, thus
making the load harder for the 9th
er boys. When Junior uses the
term, however, it merely means hid
ing from the work in the first place
or stretching an easy job out to make
It last as long as possible.
Batting the breeze is the military
equivalent Of 'bullshooting."
Police, as nearly as it can be ex-
planned, means .'to clean up" or "to
keep clean" Examples are kitchen
police, or kaypee, canteen police,
and police the area.
Fatigue duty is work that is not
actual military training, but part
of the turnabout method Of getting
the dirty work done. Fatigue clothes
are the blue denirns worn for extra
duty. Regular uniforms are called
obs, an abbreviation for "olive
drab."
CT is short for Government Is
sue" CT soap is the yellow laundry
soap, a CT brush is a hard-bristle
scrubbing brush, and CT haircut
is the regulation style which sac
rifices two-thirds of Juniors wavy
locks to cleanliness and sanitation.
The PIX is the post exchange, or
canteen, a cooperative enterprise
which sells practically everything
the soldier needs. Three times
month, canteen books of credit tick
cts may be obtained in denomina-
lions from one to five dollars. Ten
per cent of the proceeds from these
are returned to the battery fund,
which is used to buy nonessentials
for the battery.
The old man is the battery COM
mander, who may also be referred
to among yourselves as the Be or
the skipper. The top kick is a first
sergeant, the chief Of the battery's
noncommissioned officers.
Jawbone is an apt word meaning
''credit." A Jawbone corporal is an
acting corporal, who has neither the
rating nor the pay of a corporal.
Over the hill is an artistic way of
referring to unauthorized absence.
This is another expression for
AWOL.
Food Is chow or mess. Stew is
slum or slumgullion. Salt pork,
which you rarely see in the Army,
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1943-08-13

is called lamb chop. ''They lam 1t
against the wall to get the salt out
of it and then they chop it up into
the beans"
To fall out, soldiers vacate the
barracks quickly. before the SER
geant gets really mad. To fall in,
they take their places in ranks.
A yardbird is the lowest form Of
animal life in an Army camp. Under
the common law, he is rated as one
rank below q buck private. The
yardbird, for this misdeed or that
Bhortcoming, spends most of his time
In mental labor about the battery
area.
When Junior refers to yardbird,
you win notice, he is invariably
vpeaking Of someone else.
It was our afternoon of and we
were lying around In our barracks,
too lazy to dress for a movie or q
trip to the Service Club. All Of us
were, that is, except Private Zuber.

"and we had to walk up one of

around us, selling everything from

our pocket money to buy pack OF
cigarettes for fifty cents. What are

"Oh, suppose I'll"

"Well, conf1dentially-"

When sergeant tells you that it's
| the little things in life that are i'm
portant, he's not just saying it. A
sergeant who impresses that one
corny slice Of homely philosophy
upon q rockies mind is giving him
one Of the most important lessons Of
his Army life.
The soldier has a thousand and
one small things to remember in
