o CAMP PIKE NOTES o
y ^ n y § n tn? a ^
Camp Pike, Sept. 2.—How a
rookie does long for home
cooking those first two weeks
while he is in quarantine. Per
haps he has never mastered a
dislike for onions or liver or
boded cabbage, and mother
and wife have always .joined
forces to tempt his jaded appe
tite. At the hotels and res
taurants he ordered what he
liked or could afford. Now he
eats what the mess sergeant
dictates—or goes without. And
he eats it prepared and cook
ed according to the likes of the
company cook who is all too
often a creature of queer, ec
centricities as regards the uses
of flavorings and combinations.
Our cook has used onioi^k in
everything but the lemonade
and bread pudding—and the
year is yet young. When the
roc kie gets out of quarantine
his first break is for a Belmont
or Little Rock “eat house’’ and
oads up with everything on the
menu that he has been hunger
ing for during quarantine days.
And the next day the hard
hearted infirmary orderly deals
him out a handful of C. C.
pills, and he has passed thru
one of the early degrees of his
initiation into army life. Learn
ing to eat food you had al
ways thought you couldn’t eat
is one of the great educational
features of a war.
“Getting shot” is really the
first degree of the army initi
ation and if it were not often
pitiful it would frequently be
hilariously funny. Many men
have been lied to so persistent
ly about what will happen
when they get their small pox
and typhoid innoculations that
they are on the ragged edge of
a nervous breakdown and at
the touch of the tiny needle
scream with fright and collap
se in a dead faint. As a mat
ter of fact under ordinary cir
cumstances not one of them
would even notice the slight
pain. Of course there are
great differences in the “after
affect.” Some men are really
sick or a day or two while oth
ers never know for a minute
that they have taken the shots.
Rut a man’s mental attitude
p'avs quite an important part
in the vaccination initiation.
The average soldier can go
to sleep standing on his head
on some other fellow’s head for
that matter. You see them as
leep on the veranda at the
Hostess House, in the “Y"
reading rooms, down town in
the Hotel lobbys, in the thea
ters; in fact, anywhere that
they can drop into a vacant
chair. The program of the
army provides enough sleep
but with too many soldiers the
trouble is that they have to gc
to bed when they are no
sleepy and get up when the)
are, and it takes time tc get the
he bits of a lifetime adjusted te
the calls of a bugle. Durinj
the- heated weather the mei
have stayed out as late as thee
dared and that with thei:
strenuous life has made then
ready to grab a little snooze a
every opporiunity.
This brings remembrance o
a camp joke as to how one
Camp Pike soldier lost hi
Little Rock sweetheart. The;
were having lunch and th«
soldier called for a third cu]
of coffee. Asked by the youn;
lady as to the reason fo
drinking so much coffee, he re
plied, “Well, 1 am going t<
spend the evening with yoi
and I have to keep awake
don’t I?” And his subsequen
explanations failed to explain
One of the strongest piece
of work the Camp Pike “Y" is
putting over these days is the
song program. Every unit in
the camp is being drilled in
mass singing and it is not infre
quent to see three thousand
men or more gathered on a hill
side singing under the direc
tion of the camp song leaders.
Songs are increasing in inter
est all the time as the fullest
co-operation is received from
the officers whose ideal army
is one that will sing as it mar
ches, or as it loafs in camp.
