 Writes. Chaplain Wm. J. Van Cleve
Joe Has Trouble On Friday the 18th
Dear Gertrud:

Dear Gertrud:
 They let me out of the hospistol last thursday since they decided that both my ankle and my head was alright again. Jim says he's not so sure about my head but he supposes that it is as good as it ever was. I think he was trying to insult me but i'm not sure. I thought the sargent wood let me just lay a round the barraks for day or 2 but he had other ideas it seams. There i was just having a grand time taking a little bunk fatigue and he came through and put me right back on detal pick ing up tree trunks again. I tried to point out that this was what i was doing that put me in hospistol before but the argument before but the argument didn't get any ap- plause from him. Then when we got back in the evening we got the awful news about President Roose- welt dying.
 The next day they said we was all to be in class As all day. It was friday the thirteenth but i'm not superstitious as you know, Ger trud, so i wasn't scared-much. When looked at the bulletin board i found that was on KIP. for the day. Now how was going to be in class As all day and be on KIP. where we have to wear fatigues ? I decided that there was only one way to do it, to dress in Class As and carry my fatigues over to the mess hall and change over there. That was alright except that in the afternoon couldn't resist the tenn tation to slip over to the PIX. for fewa minutes so changed to my class As and started out. A feller was painting up on ladder near the mess hall door and i should have known better than to try to go under a ladder on friday 18th. Just as got under the ladder he dropped a great big gob of white paint and it run down the back of my blouse. I took my blouse off and tried to sneak over to the PIX. anyway which should never have done on friday 18th, and run smack dab into the first sargent. He took my name and cereal num- Der and the next day i found that

Here is a test for the literati! Frequently authors, anthologists, playwrights and composers use numbers in phrasing the titles of their works. Can you name the proper number to complete the titles of the following? Each an swer counts points. A score of 6O-7O is fair; 7O-8O is good; 80-90 very good; over 90 excellent. The answers?
