What was the first spoon ever
used by people?
That question cannot be answered
with certain knowledge. but it is
likely that shells were the first
things to serve as spoons.
We can imagine Stone Age people
using shells to eat soup. Perhaps
they were in the custom of drinking
such liquid from a large clay bowl.
but found it too hot at times. II
would be natural for them to want
to test a small amount, and what
better spoon" could be found than
the shell of a clam or oyster?
Clay dishes came into use in the
late Stone Age. There can hardly
have been soup before there were
dishes, so we may figure that spoons
for soup must have been first USED
in the later part of the Stone Ace.
stone knives, on the other hand,
were used in the very early part Of
the Stone Age. We know that be-
cause they left stone knives among
the remains Of their feasts IN the
caves.
The old Anglo-Saxon word for
spoon was "spon," and it had an
other meaning, chip Of wood"
There is no doubt that many early

spoons were made OF wood To this
day there are wooden spoons. usual
lv Of large size and used for mixing
batter.
Going farther back, We find a
Greek word for spoon with the
meaning of shell" In the time Of
written history the spoons Of the
Greeks were made chiefly Of bronze
or silver, but shell spoons must have
been common when the Greek Ian
guage grew up.
More than 1000 years ago the
Egyptians used spoons OF several
kinds. Some Of these have been
found in tombs. and are now on
display at museums. They We're

the horns of cattle were cut of and
used in making spoons. Wooden
spoons also had a place in the kitch-
Ell and on the dinner table Silver
spoons were owned by kings and
rich MOBILES. but not by the common
people.
Al about the time Columbus was
born. brass and pewter spoons be-
gan to come into widespread use in
Europe.
The best spoons of the present
time are silver-plated or of solid

WAC Visitors Day
 A Memorable One

Remember. left foot on the down beat and make those folks proud of you!" That was the com mand from the platoon leaders, Stoddard and Bani.
 It was a day to remember. After a complete week of rain and dreary weather, the sun came out Sunday as if to welcome visitors to the WAC Area. A perfect day for parade! At 15OO hours sharp, the WAC platoons were lined up and ready to step out at the command FORWARD, MARCHw They looked good, those Daughters of Mars, as they marched past the re- viewing Officers, proud parents, re- latives and friends.
 The parade was reviewed by Major J. T. Benedict, Base Executive Off, ficer, and staff which included It. A. G. Layng, Capt. c. Valentine, Capt. L. Campbell, and the WAC Officers, It. Anita H. Cox, It. Eu- nice c. Reaney, It. Cecilia B. La Rocque, and It. Helen B. Dennis.
 An informal inspection was made of the barracks and exclamations were heard on the lineup of shoes, uniformity and order, picture lined inside of lockers, showers and laun- dry room. Mothers, in particular, noted the wash-lines and ironing facilities.
 In the dayroom, where most of the guests congregated, introduc- tions were made to one and all and it was surprising to find that many of the folks had travelled half way across the country to take advan- tage of this visiting privilege.
 The Mess Hall, although pop ular place every day, was more popular than ever on Visitors Day. This time, not only the WACs sang Here we are like birds in the wild erness, waiting for something ts eat," but the visiting folks joined in.

He was sent to Fort Lewis, Washington, and there as- signed to the Infantry. Five months of his first year and a half in the Infantry were spent in Alaska. During this period he had advanced to the position of First Sergeant.

The Case of Ty Cobb

I asked Ty Cobb one year why he
had held out so long. Money had
nothing to do with it," he said. "I
simply didn't want to wear myself
out with too much spring training.
Take my season in 1911. I held out
that year and finally reported at
Terre Haute on April 6. This left
me about ten days to get ready.
That year I batted APO and stole 90
bases. I was still fresh and feeling
good through the last week, where
some of the others had gone stale"
Cobb handled fewer training days
than any other big-time ballplayer.
This partly accounts for the fact
that he was able to move at top
speed for "a years.
Cobb kept in condition by hunting
most of the winter. His legs were
always ready to give him the trans
portation he wanted.
If Cobb had reported late in Feb
ruary or early March, season after
season, he would have lost at least
four years from his playing time.
For Cobb only knew how to play
the game one way-at top speed.
Exceptions
I'll admit, Cobb was an exception.
So was Babe Ruth. One of the all
