NURSES FROM FARMS I
MAKE BEST BBKEBS
(By L. It. Blanchard, United Press
Staff Correspondent)
CHICAGO, May 3.—Camp Custer,
Mich., today has 120 boxers who have
dropped wand drill and dumbbell
exercises for the more strenuous glove
game. They are nurses with the base
hospital attached to the cantonment1
of the Eighty-fifth division..
One knockout and nine decisions
was the result of the first “card”
here, one boxer succumbing to the
deadly left of a co-worker.
Charley White, Chicago boxer, and
former instructor here, said almost
every pupil in the nurses’ class had
a wicked left.
"Their uppercuts are good—sort of
a natural blow,” said Charley. “Their
lefts are more natural for them than
for men, but they can’t land a straight
one. When they try that the result
is always a ‘haymaker.’
“The girls from the farm are hus
kier than those from the city, and
that may explain why eight out of
nine decisions at our first show w'ent
to country girls.”
White started the nurses’ boxing
■class more than a month ago, the
young women asking for it on the
grounds that they could protect them
selves from such atrocities as the Ger
mans have perpetrated in Belgium
and France.
Posing, rope-skipping, shadow box
ing, bag-punching and short boxing
bouts constitute the training program.
Only four of the number beginning
the W'ork have dropped out.
“It’s been good for them,” said
White. “Some of my star pupils
could give boys from the other classes
a tough battle.”
GERMAN SHELL PIERCES
SAMMIES’ SOUP KETTLE
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
ON THE LORRAINE FRONT, April
2 (by mail).—There’s a certain cross
roads back of a certain sector on the
American front that the Germans take
a particular delight in shelling. Near
the cross-roads there is a dug-out.
Men working near by live there. Just
at supper time on a recent evening
the Boche began shelling the road.
The men were in the dug-out. They
heard a shell coming. Then it ar
rived. It came straight through the
door and went smack! through the
soup kettle.
“Nobody hurt, but hell! look at the
soup!” was the report of the ser
geant a few minutes later.
"That’s one boy that certainly came
in without knocking,” he added, as
■ he surveyed the soup-sodden floor.

GERMAN PRISONER RAS
GENUINE HUN APPETITE
(By Fred S. Ferguson, United Press
Staff Correspondent)
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
ON THE LORRAINE FRONT. April
2 (by mail).—“How is the orderly
coming along bathing the German
prisoner?” asked the captain at a cer
tain field hospital of the sergeant.
"He started washing his right hand
at 6 o’clock, sir. It’s now 7, and he’s
only half way ’round,” came the reply.
The captain laughed. For it’s the
talk of the hospital that the young
Boche, who was captured out of a
shell hole when the Germans were
beaten back on an attempted raid, ha?,
the largest hand seen around these
parts in the memory of the oldest
American inhabitant.
The young Boche. too, is what the
sergeant calls “slick.” He was badly
frightened on first arriving at the hos
pital, especially when taken to the
operating room. When his breakfast
was brought to him he refused to
eat at first. He was finally persuaded
to drink his coffee, and having done
that and found that he still lived, he
finished the breakfast.
Later another orderly came along
and asked if he had had his breakfast.
The prisoner answered “No.” and ate
the second one when it arrived.
LUMBER CAMPS IN 1ST
AHE CONSERVING FOOD
SPOKANE, May 3.—Lumber camp
cooks in the Inland Empire are com
plaining that they do not have enough
table scraps left to feed the camp
pigs, according to O. M. Plummer,
stockman and educator of Portland,
who is giving his services to the food
conservation movement among the
lumber camps of the Northwest, and
who recently returned from a trip
through the camps of northern Idaho.
“As soon as the men find that we
do not ask them to eat less, but to
join in the general effort to conserve
one or two articles, they apparently
are glad to enter into the movement,”
he declared.
"The cooks are doing a great deal.
The tables will show a great variety
and as much to eat as ever, bu
there is little waste. Steaks not eaten
are used as meat pies or hash.”
