Tefft, instructing a Class at his Alma Mater in the rudiments of'tPIain Geometry and serving as commandant as well. At first I wondered why he wasnit on active duty and then remembered that he had been wounded in combat. A VVAAC 5rd officer had knocked 2 of his teeth out. By this time the machine seemed to be wearing out. At first it appeared to have broken down for a character attired in a yellow sports coat, purple slacks, violet shirt, mauve socks, and tan shoes stood before our eyes in the viewplate. At first we couldn't imagine who he was but when we saw a ,40 Oldsmobile, a twisted and charred wreck in the gutter nearby, we knew that it was Hoot Ortt, speed demon and erstwhile photographer. Hoot was arguing with a queer looking character, who, although he was a 2nd Lieutenant in the Marine Corps tthe Marine Corps was evidently hard up for officersi, had a distinct air of the barnyard about him. Yes indeed. It was the farmer himself. Carl was trying to tell Bill that Jeannie was much prettier than a girl friend of Bills. In order to refute Carlis claim Hoot produced a snapshot of the lucky CU woman but as it was overexposed and underdeveloped tthe printenot the girD nothing was settled. We left the quarreling pair to gaze at the interior ofa church where a wedding had just been solemnized. A whisper from a pew in the rear of the church in- formed us that Mrs. Reid's little boy, Billie, was the victim. The happy couple made a pretty picture framed under the crossed broom handles of Pvt. Reid's fellow yardbirds. Bill was wearing a khaki creation, the latest thing in Washington, and his bride wore a wedding dress made of some new fabric which closely resembled burlap. In fact the strange letters PtOtTtAtTtOtEtS were apparently embroidered across the front of the gown. Hardly had we sated our gaze upon this vision of loveliness CD when the ocean appeared and an American cruiser hove into sight. On the bridge a familiar figure was pacing back and forth conferring with his stafiF officers. It was none other than Captain Dickerson and Lt. Commanders Ansteth and Gallahue meditating as to what they should have done to 5 rebellious seamen, viz: Art Johnson, Bob Cowdrick, and Dean Drew. We could hear Capt. Dickerson as he sealed the fate of the luckless trio, HI tell you Commander, the only thing wrong with those birds is that they dont appreciate good food. Back in Tennessee we never feed our slaves. Take them to the torture chambers and tell the officer in charge to put them on a tDeVoe Dietf They,ll starve in a month. I turned off the machine. To think some people could sink so low as to torture their men like that. Pvt. Lauroesch certainly could be thankful that I didntt treat my men that way, thought I, as I took the whip down from its rack, began to beat him severely. I had had a busy day and needed relaxation. R. C. H. Thirty-fue
