Postr FFI E HE camp postoffice, at pres- ent housed in the disbursing building, is presided over by Daniel T., Dodson, Y. lc., assisted by Silent Boedecker and Miss Florence L. Bailey, Y. 2c. Since the rookies began to arrive Daniel has been forced to work long hours, and as far as possible has prevailed upon his help to bear a hand as long as they will keep at it. It is hard for the individual to realize the huge mass of mail of all descriptions which passes through the camp postoffice each day. Many a country town postmaster doesn't handle as much work in a month as Daniel does in one hour of an ordi- nary working day. Dodson and his doughty assistants however are used to hard work and a truck load of mail sacks holds no terrors for them. In addition to the assistants above named the personnel of the post- offce also includes an erstwhile birdman and a one-time seaman guard, known as Dutch and Nick, respectively. True, they are lesser lights, but they form a necessary cog in the machinery.

C., and get the right dope about the things he would use to start something with. While in Washington, D. C., the Chief started his fight in life the right way for it was here that he gained pugilistic fame and Won the southern championship from Fight- ing Bob Diry. Since that time Old Muzzle Velocity, as Selman has been affectionately termed by the men on the station, has held three fleet championships. Fouricen
