PENNSYLVANIA CIVILIZED? JUST .
READ THIS AND BE SURPRISED
Bears and Deer and Raccoons, Too, Were Shot This Fall
News Item—According to the state
game commission, 368 bears, 1,680 deer.
13,225 raccoons and 3,500,000 rabbits were
killed in Pennsylvania last fall.
Sometimes we're apt to shout huzzas
and pat ourselves upon the pate aud say
we’re civilized because we live in such a
cultured state.
We think we’re safe from hungry bears
--they're found in states like Idaho.
" hen we go west wo put on airs and
say "we grew up long ago!”
But while we praise our state and
boast how civilized we grew’, we find last
fail we killed almost enough wild beasts
to crowd a zoo.

LEARN METRIC SYSTEM
A recent statement from division head
quarters informs all concerned that . the
metric system will be used by v the ar
tillery and machine gun units "for all
purposes of measurement, range finding,
etc. The metric system of weights anti
measures is in use all over France, ana
it would prove profitable to any of the
soldiers of the United States army, to
learn not only the tables, but also the
conversion factors in order that they
may easily make their way over there.
Any soldiers at Camp Hancock desir
ing to enter a class in#mertic arithmetic
should apply at once to the educations'
secretary of the' nearest Y. M. C. A.
building.
LOST HIS SPECIAL ORDERS
A fgw days ago I happened to be do
ing guard duty’ where the Motor Me
chanics are camped and witnessed the
following:
The first relief of the new’ guard war
being posted and had arrived. NP-. f
post.. The new’ sentry advanced and
waited patiently for the old • sentry .to
pass on any special orders he may have
had but none were forthcoming 'except
that, the post was just where he stood
The corporal of the guafrcl then asked
the old sentry if he was given any spe
cial orders and the sentry’ replied: "Yes
but four men moved them away abou’
half an hour ago.”
He had been guarding a tent which
was under quarantine and as the quar
antine was lifted and the tent with its
occupants removed, he no longer had any
special orders.
ALL PRINCETON MEN
At the recent get-together meeting it
was decided that arrangements be made
for a Princeton Alumni gathering. A
dinner will be held for all Princeton
alumni’ and undergraduates, both of the
camp and Augusta. It will be held in
tlfe Green Tea Room which is located near
the Camp Hancock trolley’ station, the
first building on Central avenue above

Outside a Zoo,
ga’s mad with jealous rage; you couldn't
find in many moons as many more out
side a cage.
And bears, by gosh, three-sixty-eight!
How Idaho will be surprised! Enough
to eat up half the state—and yet we say
we’re civilized!
Three million rabbits on the list, some
how to shotguns fell a pray; but think
how many more we missed—and ammu
nition's scarce, they’ say.
We boast we're miles away from all the
wild and wooly, rough frontier, and yet
we find that just last fall we killed some
1600 deer.
So while we’re bragging' of the east as
cultured, tamed and safe—ahem—don’t
say we’ve no ferocious beasts, for 10, the
woods are full of them.
