SALEM July 21 to 28, 1918 CHAUTAUQUA 1 FOR "I INT EGGS" Hen Fruit Is Very Popular With Yankee Soldiers In France By Fred S. Ferguson (United Press Staff Correspondent) With the American Army in the Field Juno 16. (By Mail) "Oof" is one of the first things the American soldier learned to say in France. It is his pronunciation of the French man's word for egg. Th.o doughboy is a constant egg hunt er. On arriving in a village while on the march the first thing sought is the source, of tho town's egg supply. If the troops remain for any length of time the liens of the village are certain of a busy session if they expect to keep up with the demand. It is nothing uncommon to hear a grin ning American toll of having stowed away a dozen eggs at a single meal. If officers expect to have eggs at their mess, their orderlies must got out and hustle to beat the doughboys to the hennery. It's a wild race for "Oofs." A new arrival in France recently join ed up with a certain outfit now in Pl cardy. He hadn't learned what is an pgg in French. But he rolled into the first shop he saw that looked like it might sell eggs. Ho tried every way he knew to tell tho shopkeeper he wanted eggs. Thffn he resorted to sign language. A box was on tho counter. Tho Ameri can spied it, hopped up on the counter, sat, on t''0 D0X then jumped down and flapping his arms wildly "cackled" loud and long. Still the French woman did not under stand. Other soldiers passing by saw the Week NAVAL TRAINING IS STRENUOUS WORK J. W. Tallraan Writes Interest ing Letter From San Francisco Station While tho boys in the Naval Train ing Station at San Francisco. Hospital Corps, are obliged to do some pretty thorough studying in the six months' course yet they are given a day off occasionally that enlivens things for the boys who probably for the first time in their lives are under re straint. The following letter written by J. W. Talhnan who is in the hospital train ing school at San Francisco to Fred Rouse, tolls of work and recreation: "I should have written you sooner but I have been moved to the hospital station and haven't had as much time as usual. All we have to do is to get up in the morning at 5:30 o'clock, and out of bed and dress and make up our bed and get out on tho parade grounds in seven minutes. They muster us then. . We have Swedish exercise for about 20 minutes, then go take a bath and at 6:40 chow. "Then we go buck to camp, clean up camp And. tena and muster on the parade grounds at 8 o'clock, when we have one hour's drill. Then we get back to our books at 9 o 'clock and muster for class at 10, Bame thing at 11 and same thing at 12 o'clock, then chow. Then muster, more class, then muster and still moro class and at 3 'clock drill. Four o'clock is retreat. I then usually go down to camp and get stuff ready for the wash at 4:40 and then chow. After chow. I wash clothes and at 7:15 o'clock we muster again md see if anybody has lumped ship or not. About that time I go and try to wuto up notes of the class. ''We f,cf two Liberty days a week. In San Francisco and Oakland they sure treat us fine. My tent mate is an artist and has a lot of artist friends in San Francisco. So we .hunt them up. They took us down to a grille in the Latin Quarter and set up a real meal, Got acquainted with a number of poets, musicians and painters and the use. "They got up a party at the home of a little Spanish girl in Oakland. They had some wonderful feed. I danced a Hula Hula smoker on the island one nighit and now I'm notorious. So I had to do a Hula Hula for our friends in Oakland. They had me put on a hay skirt and those paper things that go around the neck and ankles and I sure did the dance for them fine. "They wouldn't let a fellow spend a cent for anything. That is the way they tteat us down here. This school ing is pretty hard but it only lasts fix months. I rtnlly think I hav? got into about the best branch of the service, at least one of the most interesting. " performance, and called "Oof" to, the unfortunate bunkie. He fairly stormed flio shop with: "Woof! Woof! Woof!" The shopkeeper retreated. "Woof! Woof!" exclaimed tho Am erican. Then a light dawned in tho shopkeep er's eyes. A minute later the doughboy had a dozen eggs. DR. LUCAS SPEAKS TONIGHT In the Grand theatre, at 8:15 tonight, Dr. Alzamon Ira Lucas, renowned orator and lecturer and holder of four college degrees will speak on "The Soul; Its Functions and How to Awaken It." The crowded houses the past two nights is a forerunner that those wish ing to attend should come early as doors will bo opened half-hour Before regular time. When asked why people are so interested in his Lectures, Dr. Lucas said: "People crowd to hear me, be cause I portray life so vividly to the layman as well as to the learned mind. Most lecturers talk under or over peo pie's heads; very few enter the souls of their audience. Again, I have lived the sorrows and trials of the vast majority in my strugglo for an education and in the passing over .the impediments plac ed by the elect, before officials, press and puipit were forced to recognize and endorse my mission." Dr. Lucas docs not pretend to know it all, but, he says, he lives all he knows and today enjoys blessed health, success and hap piness. He simply wishes to impart a knowledge of how you may share all of the blessings you should have today. Go, hear with your own ears, then judge for yourself! The admission is free. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears mmm Signature of ST. LOUIS TWINS WERE TOGETHER ON WEST FRONT Sonrc Strange Complications Result When Two Soldiers Lock Exactly Alike By Fred S. Ferguson (United Press Staff Correspondent) With The American Forces in Picardy Juno 17. (By Mail) When you go to war twice at the same time in the same outfit, maybe you can consider you real ly are doing your part to whip the Boche. At least Walter and Albert Grierson ara inclined to feel that way about it. The only way it can be done, however, is to be a twin. Walter and Albert are twins. Their father and mother live at' 3313 Lucas avenue, St. Louis. And if Mr. and Mrs. Grierson think they had a hard time telling Walter and Albert apart when they were littlo, they ought to see the sergeant and company commander try ing it. Ofter you know how to identify the twins, it's easy. Walter (or is it Albert?) has a mole m one foot. But the sergeant can't tell the twins to take off their shoes every time he wants to pick one of them for some particular job. Tho result is that Walter and Al bert ar0 fighting the war both togeth er and separately, for themselves and for each other, and in addition are and also is carrying on a mail court ship. So The Girls Enow? They are writing Glendine and Gernl dine Smalley, who live in Sheldon, 111, Glendine and Geraldiiw are twins. Wal ter or Albert is writing Glendine and Albert or Walter is writing Geraldine. Walter, or AlbcTt, anyhow ono of tho twins first told tho story as he sat in the window of tho United Press, billet one warm evening in Picardyi Wagons guns and camions were rolling by. The twins aro with an engineering out fit and it was too early yet for them to set out for their work of stringing wire, and digging trenches and dugouts. As Walter, or Albert, talked of Delmnr. the bridge, the river and other things of home, the other one came up. It was like seeing double. Their tin hats wore even at. the same angle1. Nobody Knows Difference "You see, it's like this" said Albert "When Walter" that identified Al bert "when Walter is working and is tired and I'm fresh, I slip out and re lieve him, and nobody knows the dif feronce. Then, if f got tired, he comes out and relieves me. and so long as one of us is where one or the other is supposed to be well, there you are." No one in the company knows one from the other. On one occasion a new sergeant was in charge of tho detach ment working on a dugout. Albert and Walter were working from opposite sides. Just as Welter left the dugout with a wheelbarrow filled with dirt Albert left ne other end of the runway and came down another path with Iiib empty. The sergeant didn't know there wcro two of them. Everytime he look ed up he saw a Grierson loading and starting off with a wheelbarrow. The sergeant figured this man Grierson was doing twice as much work as any other man on the ,lob, and went to the lieuten ant to tell him about it. Then he learn ed there were two of them.. They Worked in Banks. Before enlisting in the army together the Griersons worked in different banks in St. Louis. It so happened that each was at the pass-book window in his re spective bank. Depositors with accounts in both banks began to Ki.der taking the pledge if they wont from one bank directly to the other, until they learned how things stood. The sorgeant and the company com mander have given it up. They assign Albert and Walter to work, and so long as a Grierson ig there, that is good enough. The twins are over here because they want to help win the war. They are not yet 21. Therefore, they would not have war double. OIB1. IS BORN TO WESTS Portland, Or., July 8.
