Squadron 12 had Its quota of men ar riving yesterday, but they didn't have much chance to tell of their experiences. The train pulled in from the east at 2:2 o'clock P. M. and half an hour later the boys were bundled onto a train headed toward Camp Lewis. One of the returned heroes was so excited on meeting his parents and family that he paid no attention to time and when he "came to" the train had pulled out and he was last seen taking an auto mobile to Vancouver.

There Is only one difficulty with those from the states other than California. You don't have to ask a Calif ortilan where he's from, for be volunteers the information the first time you meet him. You have to Inquire about the homes of the others. It's a good thing for the state to have it so well advertised, but too much is a plenty. Cardial Reception Pleases.

Of course there were a great many of us whose souls need the refreshment ; of such art as Alda wields.
