"Pud- din," the pet cat of Chaplain Rit chie Davis of the 142nd infantry, is in the feline equivalent of the dog house. "Puddin," AWOL on a recent night, came within point blank range of " a skunk, retreated to the chaplain's tent at double time and dived into bed withjiim. That confusion . of arms, less, fur and blankets which emerged shortly . thereafter was the chap lain, the cat and the bed clothing enroute to the bath house. FORT WARREN, Wyo. Negro selectees were given post cards at a reception center before they de parted for this camp. They were told to write their names and des tination on them and 'to mail them to relatives, so the relatives would know their new address. "Now, fill in your name in this space here," officers coached the rookies, and, to provide an exam ple, wrote "Private Jones" on sample forms. - Many recruits, it developed, in terpreted the teachers too literal ly. As a result, 700 letters repose in the dead letter file here. All are addressed to "Private Jones." FORT JACKSON, SC The boys literally are alarmed by this innovation. Sergeant William T. Davis got urea oi nearing laray soiaiers ex plain that they didn't hear the morning bugle call. So he rigged up a system with bells in every tent Now he merely throws a switch, the bells .ring and all men are out of bed before they can say Skopl je. The results are twofold: (A) alibis ceased. (?) The bugler's popularity took a sudden spurt. PENDLETO N-UP)-An elk starved to death apparently be cause it leaped a fence in the Umatilla national forest, Assistant Ranger Edgar Parker reported to day. He said the animal's antlers were firmly imbedded in the ground when it presumably tripped on the fence and turned a somer sault, landing on its back. GOLD END ALE, Wash., April 23-(iP)-In Jim Shelton's fish story it was the cat that got away. Shelton, formerly of North Da kota, was fined $10 for fishing in a dammed stream, which, he explained, "are considered lakes back where I come from." Wash ington law says you can fish in lakes. The lawJet him keep the trout, but that night the family cat got into the kitchen cooler and de voured the entire $10 catch. LOS ANGELES (jP) At least one squadron In the RAF throws la a brick for food measure af ter bombing a German objec tive. Frank Thompson, 23, a mem ber of the RAF for two years and here to ferry a bomber to England, puts it this way: "After "we drop about 900 pounds of bombs and get ready to turn back, each member of our crew tosses a brick over board. That's for good measure."' SHREVEPORT, La. P)-CY E. Whitney, fishing on Cross lake, caught five catfish with a single cast, and didn't even lose his bait Someone had lost a string of fish, and one of them went after the worm on Whitney's hook, - LAS CRUCES, NM-(P)-So they were married and lived happily for about 15 minutes. That was the story told of an El Paso couple in the county clerk's office. The bridegroom, an El Paso railroad worker, and his bride were married by the Rev. J. W. Cox. The next day the unhappy husband turned up and asked that his license not be recorded be cause his wife disappeared about 15 minutes after the ceremony with a new car, $100 cash and all her new wedding clothes he bought for her. now the annual fish-jumped-into-the-boat story is an accomp lished fact, ! - t v; Tom Dearmond and George La husen reported ; that Dearmond hooked a salmon just below the Willamette river falls here and they let their . boat drift down stream while he played the fish. A mere 100 feet below where fishermen's boats lined tthe river, a 35-pound salmon leaped smack into the boat, 'where ' Lahusen promptly fell upon it They re turned home with the salmon and statements of witnesses to corro borate their story and with the fish Dearmond hooked as welL CHICAGCNiiR-A new fa ther's right to be a little noisy in echoing corridors of a hospital even at 3 a. m. was upheld re cently by Police Court Judge N. J. Bonelli. "I'm the father of twins, judge boys," explained Andrew "Goyack, 27, who had been charged with disorderly conduct "The nurses wouldn't let me see them and my wife, Grace, when I came over from home." "Case dismissed," said the judge with a smile, "and don't waste any time. Go see them now." LOS A N G E L E SWPV-The blackout committee of the Los Angeles county major disaster emergency council recommended that instead of dousing the city's lights in the event of armed inva sion, they be made to burn more brightly than ever. Increasing the lights, the com mittee suggested, would confuse pilots of enemy planes more than dimming them. Oh, yeah! MIAMI, Fla.-(iPr-Charter boat men brought this story of an un usual obstacle to national defense preparations: ' - , Juigineers used bed sheet: size pieces of muslin to mark survey posts over the site of new defense outposts on Mayaguana island in j tne Bahamas.

DECATUR, Pa.-iiP)-Digging his yard in this Atlanta suburb, Floyd Walden found a nine-inch long shell of civil war vintage.
