Can you tame wild wimmen? Can you tame wild wimmen? You made a fox play dead, a mule stand on his headg But have you ever made your wife get up and go to bed? Oh can you tame wild wimmen so they'll always lead a sweet and simple life? lVhen you come home at three, can you take out your key, And open.up the door and holler, l3on't talk back to mef' Oh can you tame wild wimmen? lf you can, please tame my wife. fCopyright by Harry Von Tilzer Music Pub. Co., N. YQ MICKEY Mickey, pretty Mickey. Xkfith your hair of raven hue, In your smiling, so beguiling, There'si a bit of Killarney, bit of the blarney, too. Childhood in the wildwood, Like a mountain Hower you grew. Pretty Mickey, pretty Mickey, . Can you blame anyone for falling in love with you? fCopyright, 1918, by XVaterson, Berlin K Snydelzj THE ROSE OF NO MAN'S LAND There's a rose that grows on No Man's Land, Ancl it's wonderful to see, Though it's sprayed with tears, it will live for years, Tn my garden of memory. It's the one red rose the soldier knows, lt's the work of the Master's hand. 'Mid the war's great curse stands the Red Cross nurse. She's the rose of No Man's Land. Clfopyright, l9lS, by. Leo Feist, lnc.j THE LAST LONG MILE I Oh, it's not the pack that you carry on your back, Nor the Springfield on your shoulder, Nor the live-inch crust of khaki-colored dust That makes you feel your limbs are growing older. And it's not the hike on theihard turnpike O That drives away your smile, Nor the socks of sisters that raise the blooming blisters, Itis the last long mile. QPublished by T. B. Harms K Co.j 27

School of the Soldier Heels on the ground and as close together as your army shoes permit. V Feet turned out equally and at an angle of 45 degrees. 'Remember that the 40 degrees doesn't mean Fahrenheit. The recruit will discover that his shoes are seven or eight sizes too large. This is for emergencies. ln case of a sur- prise attack he will be able to retreat six or seven sizes without deserting his post. Knees straight with the dimples horizontal. Hips drawn in without any Hawaiian flourishes. There are no ukuleles in the field music. NVeight of the body distributed evenly on both feet. That means your own feet. Chest arched and inflated like stock in a Pennsylvania munition factory. Skull erect and chin drawn in so that the battery commander won't catch his spurs on your .-Xdam's apple. liyes straight to the front. You are there to drill and not to flirt. Try to shove your head through the roof of your hat. You can't do it and if you do it the QM. department would soak you SlSl.75 for a new hat. liars must be kept within the ranks and as close together as the conformation of the soldier permits. Arms hanging naturally at the sides, with thumbs folded neatly along your money pockets, which should he as empty as a last year's hird's nest-and gen- erally are. i In standing at the position of attention the soldier should be natural and not rigid. VVhen properly executed the position is normal and the soldier is just as' comfortable as an ant on a hot griddle. 29
