The G. I. always finds them there
when he comes In from day Of

NICE are most notorious. The
soldier sweeps around his bunk
till he Is blue In the face, vigor-
otsly messages the 6oor with a

winds up with generous strokes
Of a mop. Then he shines his
shoes, sticks UP in general and
stands by for the ultimaturn. All,
