 Then comes map reading They study along with the men Maps of their bivouac area are provided and they must be able to find their locat on from the map.
 The second day of bivouac is a full one. Perhaps the most eXcit- ing incident is the gas attack While marching, tear gas and smoke is released as a surprise Quickly the nurses put their gas masks on and walk safely through the gas.
 Their beds are as welcome the second night as they were the night before. The next morning when they awake the ground is covered with snow.
 Snow or no snow there is still work to be done-and the nurses

Camp Carson Colo.-What are Army nurses made of?
 How can they take the dangers and gruelling hardships they are called upon to meet daily on bat tlefronts around the world? Where do they get the stamina to work tirelessly close to the fighting fronts, live under primitive con- ditions, even face enemy fire?
 Upon what reserves can they call for the gallantry and devo- ton to duty that has won for many of them the same medals awarded to our fighting men?
 Here at Camp Carson they know the answers. For it is here that many nurses now overseas learn ed how to take it'' and many others are undergoing the tough raining that will fit them for the stern life ahead, on the fighting fronts.
 Here they sleep in tents in the rugged Rocky Mountains, hike miles with full packs, undergo sur

prise gas and smoke attacks and learn to go on bivouac in the field with the men and officers of the. r hospital units.
 Just how thorough this training is was shown recently when the 226th Station hospital, command ed by Maj. Raymond E. Davies, went on bivouac. This is the story:
 Are you ready? Helmets ad- justed, leggings faster led, can teens filled?" asks It. Muriel Light, chief nurse. She gives the command, "Forward March," and the nurses leave the post at 8:30 in the morning for their bivouac area 10 miles away, They step along briskly, keeping up with the men and officers of the outfit.
 At 11:30 they go over the last hill into the pine dotted valley chosen for the bivouac area. The hard ground makes a welcome place to rest and G. I. helme's a good pillow.
 Rest is not for long, but it is interrupted by the welcome sound of "Chow'. And do those nurses pack away huge sandwich es of cheese, bologna, and liver Wurst, potato salad and hot cof- 1 fee?
 Almost as welcome as chow call is mail call. Nurses are nc different from G. I.'s. They live for mail call and that letter from home, or from someone now over seas.
 Time to read your mail and then there is work to be done. Glasses are held for two hours in first aid, ambulance loading and litter drill. Nurses must have many hours of training in the field so that they can operate quickly and

efficiently when sent overseas, as they are dong in Italy on the An zio beach. After these problems, athletic games are scheduled to help in toughening bodies. The comradeship and ioviality of the nurses, officers and enlisted men binds the hospital units into a group working, thinking and play ing together.
 Another G. I. meal after retreat and a little time to gather around the fire and sing. Steel helmets make odd shadows in the freight. The husky voices of the men blend with those of the nurses. But fun is not for long because a night problem has been scheduled. All must be quiet and obey orders, as a simulated attack of the camp is taking place.
 At las, time for bed. Even though the nurses are dead tired, they still take a few minutes for beauty work. Cold cream jars come out of green G. I. musette bags. A few pin up their short cropped hair. All wear warm pa iamas and soon are dipped into heir bed rolls. The big gasoline lamp is turned out by the chiet nurse, It. Light.

ARE WE CIVILIZED?
By Ruth Taylor


Did you the very fine statement issued recently by
group OF representative citizens? They from both
sides OF the fence but in they spoke just Americans
calling upon their friends and neigh
borso concentrate their efforts upon the and upon the
war alone In the of the statement they made this
tine appeal I'VE ask you to do your utmost to temper any
dispute that may divide your fellow, Americans"
Notice what they sadnot do away with differences of
opon not stop all arguments but temper them moderate
them be fair and give the other fellow much right to his
ideas you claim for yours in short restrain your
utterances.
The savage-and here I include those mass savages
whom fight today-succeeds by looking after himself
alone He grabs what he wants and fights to get things for
himself alone II he succeeds in getting away without be-
ing killed he calls it success.
When savages first grouped themselves into tribes they
but enlarged this process They utterly calous about
the fate of anyone but themselves They went from the
battleelds without backward look at their slain. (Of
could easily draw comparison between their
actions and the conduct of the Japanese)
Civilization-from which enemies have turned
is way of doing things, method of life which is
expanding rather than merely state formula. Civiza
ton implies responsibility, for succeeds only when there
good of all that each may have a better way of life
mans should be but his way of rendering service
to other people.
Man is but the instrument of civilization of the
tools with which the Deity works How succeeds
depends upon his ability to be useful to the scheme of which
he is but part
When each of realizes that the nation is essential to
the individual and that the individual must not put his goal
beyond the best interest of the nation, all live
satisfactorily and successfully together That is cviliza
