EDITORIAL. 
 
 HE FAST closing year in the rather 
 remarkable history of the United 
 States General Hospital No. 36 has 
 been a time of transition. Opening 
 as it did while the world war was being wilfully 
 waged, the institution has passed from a corner- 
 stone of effort to a monumental structure of 
 achievement. 
 
 What is said of this hospital may, in the main, 
 be said of some other institutions of its char- 
 acter, but when it is considered that at no other 
 post has there been such a vast amount of ob- 
 stacles to overcome, it is evident that this home 
 of reparation and restitution will be catalogued 
 as a worthy exemplification of the sane and se- 
 rious policy promulgated by the Medical Depart- 
 ment. 
 
 No Army hospital could succeed without the 
 unbridled support of The Surgeon General of 
 the Army. To General Ireland the local admin- 
 istration is indebted for a co-operative attitude 
 and plastic control. The policies of that admin- 
 istration have only been curtailed when they 
 might in any way conflict with the broader ad- 
 ministration of all such institutions of recon- 
 struction. 
 
 No Army hospital could succeed without an 
 administration which carries with it a sympa- 
 thetic guidance and far-seeing vision. The se- 
 lection of Colonel Cooper as the commanding 
 officer and administrative head for a hospital, 
 the nature of which was as Joseph's coat of 
 many colors, was not only fortunate but showed 
 very careful consideration and efficient place- 
 ment. Under his directing hand, No. 36 has re- 
 ceived and cared for approximately 2,000 pa- 
 tients. All these without death; all these with 
 new life and growth. It is a remarkable record, 
 indeed ! 
 
 In the assignment of administrative officers 
 good judgment was exercised at all times and 
 the adjutant and chiefs of service were men 
 highly specialized in the nature of the tasks as- 
 signed them. Where weaknesses were found in 
 the official personnel corrective measures were 
 at once employed and nothing was allowed to 
 interfere with the fundamental processes which 
 were designed to bring about the best results. 
 
 The hospital is delightfully located — in the 
 heart of the best residence district of Detroit 
 and the advantages accruing from the location 
 were witnessed in pass privileges and motor 
 trips for the patients and enlisted personnel. 
 There were always the minor complaints which 
 accompany any Army organization and which 
 are always expected, but these were obliterated 
 by the compensations afforded by the geograph- 
 ical location. 
 
 The work at No. 36, whether it was to be 
 done by the administration, the chiefs of service, 
 the junior officers, the Army nurses, the enlist- 
 ed personnel, the reconstruction, physio-ther- 
 apy, and occupational aides, or the civilian em- 
 ployees was always approached with the under- 
 lying spirit of thoroughness and helpfulness. It 
 was such a spirit as that which enabled the offi- 
 cials to put across such a successful program. 
 
 With the idea of giving those who shared in 
 the life of this hospital a synthetic view of that 
 very life, it passes here in panorama in the form 
 of "The Thirty-Six Review." As the years 
 hasten on and time blots from memory the suf- 
 fering of our disabled soldiers, it is thought that 
 this pictorial and historical publication will con- 
 tain many a background for most pleasant 
 memories. It is a happy way to keep these good 
 friends with us always.

 TO Surgeon General Merritte W. Ireland, whose untir- 
 ing efforts as the administrative head of the Medical 
 Department of the United States Army, have resulted 
 in an Army that, considered in numbers, is practically free 
 from disease; and have made for the most highly efficient 
 and scientific treatment of the men who were wounded on 
 the battlefields of Europe — to this man, who on his record 
 stands extraordinary among men, THE THIRTY-SIX RE-

 Lieutenant Colonel A. T. Cooper 
 
 The Comanding Officer U. S. A. General Hospital No. 36 
 
 THE ORGANIZATION of an institution the size 
 of U. S. General Hospital No. 36 — these few 
 words bring to mind no difficult picture when 
 one looks at the hospital as it stands today ; 
 but to Lieut. Col. Cooper, who arrived at 
 this post on Nov. 1, 1918, and 
 found himself to be the only oc- 
 cupant and the main building in 
 but a partly completed state, 
 these same words, which 
 outlined the task he had 
 been sent here by the 
 War Department to ac- 
 complish, must have been 
 the cause of sleepless 
 nights and vivid, dis- 
 tracting dreams. 
 
 And yet, in the quiet 
 manner which is so strik- 
 ingly characteristic, he 
 set about his task and the 
 result is the hospital 
 known, not only to De- 
 troit and Michigan, but 
 all over the country, as 
 one of the finest in the 
 group of Army hospitals. 
 
 Strangely, and yet nat- 
 urally, when considered 
 in the light of the policy 
 of The Surgeon General's office 
 to devdop hospital facilities rap- 
 idly and efficiently. Col. Cooper's 
 part in the war just ended — and 
 still going on as far as the Medical De 
 partment is concerned — has been one deal 
 ing entirely with organization. 
 
 When the United States entered the struggle for 
 democracy, Col. Cooper found himself on the Texas 
 border, just having returned from a short sojourn 
 into Mexico with the Pershing Punitive Expedition. 
 He was at once assigned to El Paso, Texas, and as- 
 sisted in the organization of the field hospital at that 
 point. Then he re-organized Ambulance Company 
 No. 3 and was placed in command. October, 1917, 
 found him en route to France, but on the eve of his 
 departure he was detached and sent to Camp Dodge, 
 Iowa, to establish a base hospital at that point. This 
 he did. 
 
 In March, 1918, another task of organization faced 
 Col, Cooper, as he I'eceived orders to proceed to Fort 
 
 Des Moines, Iowa, to organize and establish U. S. 
 General Hospital No 26. Rapid strides were made 
 at this post, for on May 1, the first patients were 
 received. When it is considered that "26" 
 comprises all of the old Fort Des Moines 
 Post, and that but two months 
 were spent in putting up new 
 buildings and remodeling old 
 ones, the record is a remarkable 
 one and one in which 
 pride may well be taken. 
 While at Fort Des 
 Moines, Col. Cooper also 
 organized Base Hospital 
 No. 49, which was com- 
 prised of students from 
 the medical college of the 
 University of Nebraska, 
 and Base Hospital No. 79. 
 Hence, with this record 
 of organization behind 
 him, it is easily seen why, 
 when the development of 
 U. S. General Hospital 
 No. 36 was needed, and 
 quickly. Col. Cooper was 
 picked for the job. Past 
 . J records may cause mom- 
 
 \ ents of pride in Col. 
 
 ""■ ■ -^ Cooper's life — the won- 
 
 derful development of this post 
 should do no less. 
 
 Col. Cooper received his B. S. 
 degree from Bellevue College, 
 Nebraska, and graduated in medicine from 
 the Medical College of Philadelphia. In 
 1909, he entered the Army, and one year later, 1910, 
 was graduated from the Army Medical School, Wash- 
 ington, D. C. After taking a special laboratory 
 course in the office of the Surgeon General, he was 
 assigned in 1911, to Letterman General Hospital, San 
 Francisco, Cal., as chief of the laboratory service, 
 The following year found him on duty with troops in 
 China; and in 1912, 1913 and 1914, he was chief of 
 the laboratory service for both the medical and sur- 
 gical services at the Department Hospital, Manila, 
 P. I. Fort Bayard, Texas, was claimed as a home by 
 Col. Cooper in 1915 and 1916. Then, to Mexico with 
 Pershing. After that, organization — organization 
 that helped spell success for the Medical Department 
 of the United States Army. 
 
Captain Robert Peterson 
 
 Adjutant, U. S. A. General Hospital No. 36 
 
 WHEN CAPT. ROBERT PETERSON arrived at 
 U. S. General Hospital No. 36 on November 5, 
 1918, and was appointed adjutant of the post, 
 Col. Cooper was able to I'est assured that 
 this phase of his administration would be 
 well cared for. Capt. Petei'son 
 has seen twenty years of con- 
 tinuous service, and proudly 
 points out that the entire time 
 has been spent in the 
 Medical Department of 
 the regular service. 
 
 His has been the ideal 
 lot of the true soldier, 
 having started in a 
 "buck" and gradually 
 scaled the ladder to his 
 present rank. He has 
 seen service in the 
 Hawaiian and Philippine 
 Islands, in Porto Rico and 
 in Alaska. During six 
 years of service in the 
 Philippines the captain 
 was awarded the Con- 
 gressional Campaign 
 Medal for Tropical Ser- 
 vice. 
 
 Again he proved "the 
 soldier of fortune," for 
 after four years of tiresome ser- 
 vice on the Mexican border and 
 along "the silvery Rio Grande" 
 he was one of the few Medical _ 
 
 Department men who accompanied the 
 13th Cavalry in their dash across the bor- 
 der in pursuit of Villa just four hours after that 
 bandit had attacked Columbus, New Mexico. Capt. 
 Peterson remained then continuously in Mexico 
 under General Pershing until the close of the Puni- 
 tive Expedition, and was again presented a medal 
 for his faithful service in old Mexico. 
 
 At the time of the outbreak of the war with Ger- 
 many the captain accepted a commission in the 
 administrative branch of the Sanitary Corps and in 
 that capacity has been instrumental in organizing 
 large Army hospitals in various parts of the country. 
 
 Coming to "36" on November 5, 1918, the captain 
 found only Lieutenant Colonel A. T. Cooper, com- 
 
 manding officer of the post, on duty. It fell to Cap- 
 tain Peterson's lot to immediately adjust himself as 
 a large and important cog in the wheel of organiza- 
 tion at this post. This he did without de- 
 lay. From the outset the captain has been 
 steadily on the job paying but 
 small attention to any schedule 
 of working hours. When there 
 was work for the adjutant to 
 accomplish. Captain Pet- 
 erson was found work- 
 ing steadily at his desk, 
 smoking cigars continu- 
 ously and rapidly, yet al- 
 ways plugging ahead. 
 
 As adjutant the cap- 
 tain had charge of that 
 necessary adjunct to all 
 military posts, the Guard. 
 Each morning his snap- 
 py, "Sir, the Guard is 
 formed," would make the 
 Officer of the Day realize 
 that a soldier of experi- 
 ence was saluting and ad- 
 dressing him. In fact, 
 his military experience 
 made for daily Guard 
 Mounts that were con- 
 ducted with a military air. 
 His ability for organization 
 has been well demonstrated at 
 this post and the War Depart- 
 ment is not to be criticised for 
 placing a check after his name when an ad- 
 jutant for "36" was sought. As adjutant 
 his pen traveled many a weary mile as he affixed 
 his signature to the reams of orders. His was the 
 first office all newcomers sought and the last which 
 most departing personnel saw. The captain's 
 Regular Ai'my training has stood him in good stead, 
 making him quick to see the weak spots and giv- 
 ing him the intuition to bolster them quickly and in 
 the right way. His abrupt manner and quick, curt 
 decisions make him an officer worthy of the rank; 
 while his merry eyes and hearty chuckle, combined 
 with his sympathetic manner toward the enlisted 
 men under his command, make him a man among 
 men. 
 
liis'toiy of hospital 
 
 DESPITE the strictly military atmosphere, U. S. 
 General Hospital No. 36 never outgrew its 
 maiden name, Ford Hospital. Known to 
 Detroiters, in fact, throughout the country, by the 
 name of the man who built it and then rented it 
 to the Government at a time when demand for hos- 
 pital room was at high tide, the public could not 
 accustom itself to recognizing this post as an 
 Army institution. 
 
 Its size, its beautiful architecture and its sur- 
 roundings made it known as "the milhon-dollar 
 hospital". In contrast the rental of $1 a year 
 seemed but a mere formality, which in fact it was. 
 From outer extremity to outer extremity the main 
 building measured the same as the national cap- 
 itol in Washington, 750 feet. 
 
 When Lieut. Col. A. T. Cooper arrived to assume 
 control for the Government on October 20, 1918, 
 the main building was far from completion and his 
 presence lent the only military atmosphere to the 
 surroundings. Early in November, however, Capt. 
 Robert Peterson, adjutant of the post, arrived, and 
 from then on other officers appeared weekly. The 
 nurse corps and enlisted personnel were detailed 
 here in the early days of December. 
 
 Work progressed rapidly on the main building, 
 and in February the first wards were ready for over- 
 seas patients. The constructing quartermaster, 
 
 Capt. L. R. Douglas, assisted by Mr. Ford's repre- 
 sentative, Mr. Albert Wood, and the utilities officer, 
 Lieut. Roy B. Martin, worked untiringly, and the 
 main building was made ready for occupation sec- 
 tion by section. On April 1, the main building of 
 four sections, five floors and 110,000 square feet 
 of floor space exclusive of the basement, was turned 
 over to the utilities officer by Capt. Douglas and 
 "36" was marked "completed". 
 
 The wards filled with patients as rapidly as they 
 were finished. The completed wards gave the hos- 
 pital a bed capacity of 1,500. In connection with 
 all the wards were rest rooms where the idle hours 
 of the patients might be spent. The wards them- 
 selves were well lighted, large enough to care for 
 the beds comfortably, and at either side large 
 porches allowed the bed and wheeled chair patients 
 to get plenty of air and enjoy the scenery. 
 
 With the completion of the main building the 
 administrative offices were moved into the rotunda 
 and the third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors of the 
 rotunda served as barracks for the enlisted men. 
 The entrance on West Grand Boulevard was opened 
 and the hospital swung into existence in full force. 
 Each day, until its close, saw some new addition 
 to make the life of the personnel easier. When the 
 doors swing closed for the last time as an Army 
 institution, one of the largest and flnest of Gov- 
 ernment hospitals will have donned the "civies".

 THANKS to the foresight of the architects of 
 the Surgical Building, the work carried on at 
 U. S. General Hospital No. 36 by Maj. F. G. 
 Dyas as chief of the Surgical Service has been 
 greatly aided by the well proportioned and well 
 lighted operating rooms and amphitheatre orig- 
 nally installed. Eight operating rooms connect with 
 the amphitheatre, the latter being perfectly lighted 
 by means of side and overhead windows and arti- 
 ficial lights. 
 
 Maj. Dyas arrived as chief of this service in Jan- 
 uary, relieving Maj. H. D. Hatfield, who started this 
 branch of the work here. Many surgeons have 
 worked under Maj. Dyas, the channels of transfer 
 and discharges making for continual changes. At 
 present five officers are engaged in general surgery, 
 Capt. G. E. Stanbro, Capt. W. H. Pope, Lieut. R. H. 
 Leece, Lieut. D. H. McRae and Lieut. C. B. Gardner. 
 
 One of the important divisions of the surgical 
 service as applied to all Army hospitals, and "36" 
 proved no exception, is the orthopaedic work. Maj. 
 
 F. C. Kidner, with eighteen months' experience with 
 the American Expeditionary Forces, has been In 
 charge. Assisting him are Capt. C. L. Story, Capt. 
 
 G. W. Van Gorder, Capt. L. Devendorf and Capt. 
 T. B. Marsden. Working in conjunction with the 
 orthopaedic department, and rendering valuable 
 assistance, are the physio-therapy aides. Louisa 
 C. Lippett arrived with a detail of "P. T.'s" early 
 
 in the spring, and the tired and shattered muscles 
 and bones immediately came in for daily massages 
 and heating treatments. C. I. Freeman, athletic 
 director for the Y. M. C. A., has also been working 
 in conjunction with this department. Early in 
 June, Lieut. J. B. A. Johnson, Medical Corps, was 
 sent to "36" and assigned as director of the physio- 
 therapy work. 
 
 The head clinic, more familiarly known to the 
 soldier as the place where ailments of the eye, ear, 
 nose and throat are treated, is at present in charge 
 of Maj. J. F. Hawkins, who arrived during the first 
 week of June. Lieut. P. S. Scholes, assisted by 
 Lieut. R. E. Sinkey, however, controlled the des- 
 tinies of this department from February to June. 
 
 Another valuable adjunct of the surgical service 
 is the X-ray department. Fully equipped and able 
 to "shoot" plates at an unbelievable speed, the 
 X-ray artists have been on duty continuously show- 
 ing the way to the surgeons. Maj. M. W. Clift, 
 organizer of the work here, was discharged early 
 in the spring, Capt. B. M. Conley replacing him. 
 Corporal A. G. Wood and Privates First Class W. H. 
 Powers and A. Zingrone have acted as the bone 
 and muscle photographers. 
 
 Two men in the surgical service stand alone at 
 present, Capt. E. O. Sage, anaesthetist, and Lieut. 
 H. A. Reye, neurologist. Be it general surgery, 
 head or orthopaedic surgery, to Capt. Sage falls 
 the duty of giving the anaesthetic.

 LISTENING to hearts, feeling pulses and writing 
 prescriptions are but a few of the duties which 
 fall on the shoulders of the members of the 
 medical service. At U. S. General Hospital No. 36 
 the medical service, quite naturally, started when 
 the hospital itself first got under way, with Maj. 
 Ernest B. Bradley in charge. In January Maj. 
 Philip A. Sheaff replaced Maj. Bradley, and in 
 March the present chief, Maj. Roscoe L. Sensenich, 
 took control. 
 
 In addition to the numerous duties which are 
 
 records of all patients are kept, and each morning 
 through the post registrar, a report of available 
 beds must be made to Washington. Of the 2,000 
 odd patients admitted to "36", at least 50 per cent 
 have been assigned to wards under the supervision 
 of the medical service. The average of cases under 
 the daily observation of this service has been 240, 
 while the maximum has been 360. 
 
 The treatment of gas convalescents has been a 
 distinct feature of the work of the medical service 
 at "36". In each case complete and thorough 
 study has been given the individual, even to the 
 
 performed daily by physicians in civil life, the Army 
 status brings to the doctors many other responsi- 
 bilities. The receiving ofricer, whose duty it is to 
 admit all patients, holds a position which calls for 
 careful and accurate work, and yet, necessitates 
 speed. It is his duty to distribute the patients as they 
 are received to the wards which handle their specific 
 ailment. Especially does he have to be careful 
 about detecting all contagious diseases, and also 
 to guard against admitting patients in weakened 
 condition to contagious wards. In this office the 
 
 point of making X-ray studies before discharges 
 are considered. The far greater percentage of 
 cases handled has been convalescents from the 
 effects of gas, pneumonia and organic heart trouble. 
 The following officers have aided Maj. Sensenich 
 in carrying out the administration of the medical 
 service duties: Lieut. R. N. Bramhall, assistant 
 chief of service; Capt. A. J. Pearce, Capt. J. .1. Cor- 
 bett, Capt. F. P. Nevius, Lieut. H. J. Dwyer, Lieut. 
 C. F. DuBois, Lieut. J. N. Hughes, Lieut. O. T. 
 Kirksey and Lieut. W. H. Allen, receiving officer.

 WHEN Maj. Shirley W. Bowles arrived at U. S, 
 General Hospital No. 36 on December 12, 
 1918, and assumed his duties as chief of the 
 dental service, the only things he found to remind 
 him that his calling was that of a dentist were a 
 few aching teeth. These he was forced to serve 
 the best he could, and in emergency cases send 
 them to Fort Wayne for treatment. However, on 
 February 3, 1919, Lieuts. John F. Drummond and 
 Victor J. Shalek arrived with a portable field dental 
 outfit and all minor cases were assured good treat- 
 ment. 
 
 On March 1 the dental clinic opened full blast, 
 splendidly fitted with the best equipment procurable. 
 In fact, the present clinic is better equipped than 
 the average civilian dental office. Regular hours, 
 from 8:00 o'clock in the morning until 4:30 o'clock 
 in the afternoon, were established. In addition, 
 each night found a dental interne on duty ready 
 for any emergency. 
 
 One of the features of the work carried on at 
 this pbst by the dental clinic was a survey of the 
 teeth of all the patients. This work was person- 
 ally superintended by Maj. Bowles. 'Tis often said 
 that "bad teeth make for indigestion and shorter 
 lives." In this case, the personnel of "36" should 
 enter civilian life ready to attack their three squares 
 daily without thought of fear, for the dentists have 
 led a busy life at this post, keeping on the job morn- 
 
 ing, noon and night. Thirty-five to forty cases 
 daily were easily handled. 
 
 Maj. Bowles, chief of the service, is a graduate 
 of the Philadelphia Dental College, finishing in 
 1898. He was commissioned in the Army on No- 
 vember 6, 1918, and for eight years previous to this 
 was chief of the dental department of Georgetown 
 University, Washington, D. C. Lieut. Shalek and 
 Lieut. Drummond, who were on duty originally 
 with Maj. Bowles, received their discharges and re- 
 entered civilian work in April and May, respectively. 
 Capt. C. A. Beurman, after eighteen months' serv- 
 ice with the American Expeditionary Forces, was 
 assigned here in May. On June 10, however, he 
 received his transfer to Des Moines, Iowa. 
 
 In order to keep the complement of officers up 
 to its original number of three, Capt. H. J. Brach- 
 man and Lieut. G. C. Hubble were added to Maj. 
 Bowles' depleted staff. Capt. Brachman arrived in 
 April and Lieut. Hubble in May. 
 
 Six enhsted men, aU of whom had had previous 
 dental experience before entering the Army, as- 
 sisted with the work. Sgt. 1st Class Oliver F. 
 Campbell was placed in charge of the enlisted per- 
 sonnel. Sgt. E. L. Gelhaar, with two years' work 
 to his credit at the dental college of the University 
 of Michigan, was assigned as laboratory technician. 
 Sgt. Frederick C. Schhpp and Pvts. 1st Class John 
 J. Mvirtha, Robert B. Woolson and Joseph Zapf were 
 the other enhsted men who helped make a success 
 of the dental work.

 HANDLING all of the laboratory work for U. S. 
 General Hospital No. 36, in additioli to doing 
 special work for Fort Wayne, has kept the 
 officers and enlisted personnel in the laboratory 
 service at this post busy with their test tubes and 
 Bunsen burners, microscopes and slides, ever since 
 this division of the work started early in January. 
 
 The rooms set aside for the laboratory work were 
 ideally situated, being in close touch with the sur- 
 gical wards, and set off as they are at the end of 
 the now-famous glass-encased corridor, were well 
 lighted by the rays of Old Sol. In fact, when Capt. 
 J. P. Seale, chief of the service, and Lieut. Adrian 
 Thomas, in charge of the chemical work, arrived, 
 they found everything needed for a complete lab- 
 oratory except equipment. This was secured at 
 once, however, and as more was added from time 
 to time, the laboratory is now fully equipped to deal 
 with all phases of the work at this post. A non- 
 commissioned officer is on duty during the daily 
 twenty-four hours. 
 
 In the chemical laboratory practically any phase 
 of physiological chemistry, including the most mod- 
 ern methods in blood chemistry, are daily dealt 
 with. Here, also, the many gallons of Dakin's 
 solution, used in the drainage of wounds, is pre- 
 
 pared. The preparation of this solution represents 
 one of the most important duties of the chemical 
 work. 
 
 The bacteriologists have played an important 
 part in the life of the "36" personnel. All food 
 handlers have been subject to the beck and call 
 of the bacteriologists. Each individual case has 
 been tested in order to discover all possible typhoid 
 or dysentery carriers. Each month a careful anal- 
 ysis of the milk and water used here has been 
 made. A continual fight has been made against 
 the possible outbreak of diphtheria epidemics, this 
 bacillus and another closely resembling it being 
 peculiar to this section of the country. Much orig- 
 inal work in Serology has also been carried out. 
 
 Working under Capt. Seale and Lieut. Thomas, 
 nine enlisted men with previous laboratory experi- 
 ence have helped make the service a success. 
 They are: Sgt. 1st Class A. D. Scotland, Sgts. N. R. 
 Smith, Clarence Home, John Nelson, Paul Hollister 
 and John Weatherhead, Pvts. 1st Class H. C. Koch 
 and Alfred Holmquist and Pvt. Alfred Schultz. 
 Lieut. W. H. Allen and Lieut. O. T. Kirksey, who 
 ably assisted Capt. Seale in the early days of the 
 laboratory, were subsequently transferred to the 
 receiving office and ward surgeon duty, respectively.

 THE Educational Service was in the process of 
 organization at this hospital as early as De- 
 cember, 1918, two months before the arrival 
 of overseas patients. The staff at that time was 
 composed of three commissioned officers and thirty- 
 flve enhsted men. Major George F. Arps was as- 
 signed to this post as chief educational officer; 
 Lieut. Frazer Hood as assistant chief, and Lieut. 
 H. C. Hines as director of general and technical 
 education. 
 
 As the work of organization progressed Mr. I. D. 
 Charlton was employed as director of technical 
 education and Lieut. Hines was released from his 
 position as director of general education by the as- 
 signment of Lieut. E. I. Arthur, to edit THE 
 DETROIT AZUWER, a pubhcation then in embry- 
 onic stages. During the months of January and 
 February, the personnel was increased by the addi- 
 tion of enhsted men as instructors and the coming 
 of many reconstruction aides. 
 
 Besides extra-mural duties devolving upon the 
 shoulders of Major Arps, the chief educational offi- 
 cer was compelled to work night and day to keep 
 in operation the extensive program planned for his 
 service. Machinery, space and tools were secured 
 for the technical department and that division was 
 soon in operation, until today it has proved itself 
 to be all that was hoped for. These were secured 
 by the energetic efforts of Major Arps largely from 
 the War Camp Community Service, the Ford Plant, 
 and elsewhere, the business of purchase falling to 
 the lot of Lieut. Hood. Lieut. J. G. Harcourt was 
 
 later employed as instructor in auto-mechanics and 
 that phase of the work has been extremely popular. 
 The department of general education started in- 
 auspiciously, but by the coming of Lieut. Arthur, 
 through the employment of many women teachers, 
 that department assumed large proportions and 
 attendance has been good at all times. A remark- 
 able interest was taken by the patients in general 
 educational subjects, the commercial branches hav- 
 ing the widest appeal. 
 
 Miss Rebecca Adams was appointed head aide 
 and through her direction the work of the recon- 
 struction aides has proved highly beneficial and 
 educational. Instruction has been carried on in 
 weaving, jewelry, basketry, tin and metal work, 
 bead work, cartooning and poster work, chair can- 
 ing, tied and dyed work, etc. Such work is highly 
 curative and most enjoyable to the patients. 
 
 Major Arps, having been appointed supervising 
 oflacer of the hospital newspaper and publicity 
 agent for the hospital, appointed Lieut. Hines editor 
 of the paper. Several of the enhsted men of the 
 educational service were given places- on the staff 
 and, while the newspaper has been representative 
 of the entire hospital, it was the product of this 
 service. 
 
 The work of the educational service being largely 
 relative, cannot be accurately measured, but it has 
 been far-reaching, and many of the patients who 
 have passed through this hospital have been not 
 only temporarily erudited, but influenced to proceed 
 to higher levels in intellectual endeavor upon return 
 to civilian life.

 To REQUISITION for, secure, have on hand and 
 provide clothmg and equipage for a post the 
 size of U. S. General Hospital No. 36 is in itself 
 no mean job. Yet in addition to this, the Quarter- 
 master's Department, under the direction of Capt. 
 J. H. Christie, had also the task of securing med- 
 ical and commissary supplies, furnishing transporta- 
 tion, keeping record of all supplies on hand, receiv- 
 ing and disbursing and the rendering of reports of 
 same to the proper authorities. Also, it fell to their 
 lot to voucher and pay all bills for supphes, as well 
 as the payment of all employees, both enlisted per- 
 sonnel and civilians. 
 
 With the realization in mind that this multitude 
 of tasks faced him, it must have been with some 
 hesitancy that Capt. Christie began the organiza- 
 tion of his force on November 30, 1918, with only 
 one officer, Lieut. C. E. Anderson, in charge of requi- 
 sitions, to assist him. In a short time, however, 
 Lieut. L. F. Baade, finance officer, and Lieut. R. P. 
 Ehrhardt, purchasing and contracts officer, arrived 
 to round out the administration. Enlisted men were 
 assigned to the post for duty in this office and "36" 
 started receiving the necessary equipment. Early 
 in 1919 the medical supply office was turned over 
 to the Quartermaster and Lieut. W. H. Hemingway, 
 Sanitary Corps, was continued in charge. 
 
 After things started to run in smooth manner 
 
 instructions from the Quartermaster General of the 
 Army to discharge all enlisted men showing depend- 
 ents placed the office in an entirely different status, 
 as all but two of the enlisted men were discharged 
 and replaced by civilian employees. Only two enhsted 
 men. Quartermaster Sergeant Senior Grade V. C. 
 Gessford, chief clerk of the office, and Sgt. Clyde 
 Rhea, were retained. 
 
 In addition to the officers and enlisted men the 
 Quartermaster's office now employs forty-four 
 civilians. Included in this number are Lieuts. An- 
 derson and Ehrhardt, and Sgts. H. F. Keller, S. E. 
 Gallagher and F. C. Landman, all of whom were re- 
 employed when discharged. 
 
 Only in cases where economic reasons or emer- 
 gencies made it necessary were any supplies pur- 
 chased locally, the balance being secured through 
 the Zone Supply Officer in Chicago. A large ware- 
 house at 390 W. Fort St., containing four floors 
 and a basement, has been used as a stockroom by 
 the Quartermaster. The emergency stockrooms at 
 "36" being replenished from the warehouse daily. 
 
 When this post is closed the Quartermaster's De- 
 partment will then face another huge task, that of 
 crating, boxing and transporting all material not 
 disposed of locally. The disposition of the property 
 will depend on the orders received from the Director 
 of Purchase, Storage and TrafiTxC, Washington, D. C.

 Q. M. C. Has Many Tasks, Last to Leave "36 
 
a'a.iAr. 
 
 WITH the war over, and every man out of 
 service seeking to acquire his former civihan 
 outloolt on life, men walking by U. S. General 
 Hospital No. 36 have been astounded to see through 
 the palings an old-fashioned rookie drill, with new- 
 comers to military circles assuming awkwardly the 
 "Position of a Soldier," learning the meaning of 
 " 'Shun" and drawing forth the wrath of the drill 
 sergeant by faulty execution of squads right. 
 
 Rookies they were, of the M. T. C, for since the 
 fourteenth of December the Motor Transport Corps 
 at the hospital has recruited thirty-three men from 
 the city of Detroit, and these soldiers have seen 
 stirring days handling the automobiles that act as 
 modern Mercuries for the big institution. 
 
 It was on December fifth that the first five men 
 of the M. T. C. arrived at U. S. General Hospital 
 No. 36 from Fort Sheridan, 111. Second Lieutenant 
 R. V. Gainey, M. T. C., reached this post on Decem- 
 ber fourteenth, and took charge of the four big 
 trucks, the two small trucks and the three passen- 
 ger cars that made up the stock in trade of the 
 M. T. C. at that time. 
 
 Growth in this department was rapid. By the 
 middle of January there had been added seven am- 
 bulances, six touring cars and four motorcycles. 
 Sgt. Harold J. Lee appeared on the scene with fif- 
 teen men. The first month was a busy one. Be- 
 
 sides answering night calls when some patient on 
 furlough was taken suddenly ill, and hauling supplies 
 from the Holden Ave. siding to Port St., and from 
 Fort St. to the hospital, and meeting trains, the men 
 of the M. T. C. justified their right to quarters in 
 the service building, close to the garage where the 
 machines and the 1,000-gallon gasoline tank are 
 situated. 
 
 In all, each of the passenger cars has traveled 
 more than 6,000 miles since December, while the 
 light trucks have covered a similar distance. The 
 motorcycles have checked up 2,500 miles each, and 
 the ambulances 1,000 miles. 
 
 Practically all the work of the ambulances has 
 been in meeting patients at the Michigan Central 
 station, day and night. Ninety-three wounded men 
 was the largest single unit handled. Lieutenant 
 Gainey believes the total number of patients trans- 
 ported is in the neighborhood of 1,500. 
 
 No serious accidents have occurred during the 
 life of the M. T. C. here, but there have been minor 
 mechanical difficulties enough to keep four repair 
 men constantly at work. 
 
 Sgt. 1st Class Charles J. Foote, who has recently 
 i-eceived his discharge, proved an indefatigable 
 worker in his department. Sgt. Harold J. Lee has 
 been in charge of the department paper work, while 
 Supply Sergeant Harry L. Manning has cared for 
 that division of the work.

 DOVETAILING the work of personnel adjutant 
 and registrar for U. S. General Hospital No. 36, 
 Lieut. August Siedler has had a job on his 
 hands which not only places him in a unique posi- 
 tion, but also kept him and his force working seven 
 days in the week. His appointment as personnel 
 adjutant and registrar at the same time placed him 
 in a position which, according to his own words, 
 he has never known to exist in his eighteen years 
 of Army service. "It works out beautifully, how- 
 '!'"'?''," the lieutenant once remarked, "for when 1 
 want information from the registrar about a pa- 
 tient in compiling his pay record, I merely have to 
 give it to myself." 
 
 The personnel office faced the huge task of mak- 
 ing out the pay rolls of everyone here, with the 
 exception of the officers. This meant that on the 
 first day of each month that month's pay roll had 
 to be started. Changes were numerous, and in ad- 
 dition to making these changes on the pay rolls 
 this office had to send a report to the Adjutant Gen- 
 eral of the Army of any change in status, no matter 
 how small. At the end of each month, just by way 
 of reminding the men that paper work knows no 
 end, a complete roster of all men on duty at "36" 
 had to be sent to the Adjutant General and a copy 
 of this sent to the different divisions, such as the 
 offices of the Surgeon General, Quartermaster, 
 Motor Transport, insofar as it applied to them. 
 
 To the registrar falls the duty of looking after 
 the service records of the sick and wounded. When 
 they come up for discharge, more work is added; 
 in fact, this office knows no end of duties as applied 
 to the sick and wounded. However, by means of 
 the dovetail system, when the personnel work light- 
 ened, presto! — and the staff did work for the regis- 
 trar. In fact, it worked both ways. 
 
 In the work of Lieut. Siedler and his men one 
 fact stands out prominently, namely, "pay call" was 
 never sounded during any month later than the 
 fourth day. This happened in June owing to May 
 30 and a Sunday falling closely together. And in 
 February the men received their pay on the 28th 
 day. It is a record of which Lieut. Siedler and his 
 "paper-working Medics" may well be proud. The 
 following enlisted men were on duty under Lieut. 
 Siedler: Personnel work — Sgt. Phillip Thomas, Sgt. 
 Oscar A. Kinch, Sgt. Bertram Brandt, Cpl. Henry 
 E. Stewart, Cpl. George Zapf, Cpl. Milton Moist 
 and Pvts. 1st Class Sam Blankenship, Hamilton K. 
 Hall, Henry D. Price, Leon M. Salmen and Edwin 
 Walters ; registrar work — Hosp. Sgt. Looci, Jr., 
 Sgt. 1st Class Allen McCarthy, Cpl. Harry Stone, 
 Cpl. Stephen Steranchak, Pvt. R. W. Jordan and 
 Pvt. John A. Smathers. Miss Huebner, Miss Krieger 
 and Miss Eldred were employed as civilians to assist 
 in the work.

 IT TOOK the many visitors to U. S. General Hos- 
 pital No. 36 a long time to become accustomed 
 to the daily visiting hours, 2 to 4 each afternoon. 
 It took them even longer to recover from the sen- 
 sation of being stopped by a khaki-clad Medic, as he 
 came snappily to "port arms," and asked them the 
 whys and wherefores of their visits. And the mili- 
 tary formations of Guard Mount and Retreat held 
 the natives in the immediate neighborhood in awe 
 each morning and evening. 
 
 However, at all military posts guards are a ne- 
 cessity and "36" proved no exception. Each morn- 
 ing the guard for the day formed at Guard Mount 
 and the old guard of the day before entrusted the 
 post to their care. Majors and captains alternated 
 as Officer of the Day, and lieutenants alternated as 
 Officer of the Guard. The enlisted men of the guard 
 walked post at all entrances to the hospital 
 grounds, and here it was that they sent cold chills 
 through the spines of the many visitors who tried 
 to pass them. Here, also, it was that the many 
 men who tried to leave the post without the neces- 
 sary pass found that these men were on duty under 
 orders. 
 
 hi the evening, at 5:45 o'clock, the enlisted per- 
 sonnel "fell out" for Retreat. The ceremony, tak- 
 ing place as it did on the Grand Boulevard side of 
 the hospital, attracted all who were passing, and as 
 the lines of khaki stood at attention while the band 
 played the "Star-Spangled Banner" and "Old 
 Glory" was slowly lowered, civilians stood with 
 
 heads uncovered. Retreat grew to be as much a 
 part of the life of the passing evening crowds as it 
 was of the soldiers. 
 
 The hospital band, Jed by W. C. Bartleti, assigned 
 by the Red Cross as musical director to "36," did a 
 large part to attract the pubhc's interest in the post 
 military formations. Discharges and transfers con- 
 tinually changed the personnel of the band, but al- 
 ways Mr. Bartlett succeeded in filling these vacan- 
 cies and appearing with a band that could play, and 
 play well. 
 
 While the members of the Guard Company as 
 members of the Medical detachment were under the 
 command of Capt. W. C. Squier, as members of the 
 Guard they were under the orders of Capt. Robert 
 Peterson, adjutant of the post. 
 
 The following enlisted men kept the gates of "36" 
 well guarded : Sergeant of the Guard Ernest Clark, 
 Sgt. John G. Barger, Sgt. Charles H. Wood, Cpls.

 AT THE time Henry Ford first thought of build- 
 ing this hospital, now U. S. General Hospital 
 No. 36, he very wisely decided that one of the 
 most essential features of such an institution was 
 the kitchen. Thus it was that Lieut. Charles D. 
 Miller, when he arrived here to assume the duties 
 of mess officer, found a kitchen that was spaciously 
 proportioned, well ventilated, and finely equipped 
 with fume hoods, tiled floors, glazed walls and glass 
 ceiling that assured cleanliness and sanitation. 
 
 Until the main building was completed in April 
 it was necessary to feed all of the personnel in the 
 Service Building. After that, however, nurses, pa- 
 tients and enlisted personnel were all fed in their 
 separate chow rooms in the basement of the new 
 building. The officers still retained their original 
 mess hall on the second floor of the Service Build- 
 ing. This meant that in addition to operating four 
 distinct mess halls, four separate kitchens had to 
 be installed. In all cases except that of the patients, 
 the kitchens were in close contact with the mesfi 
 halls. 
 
 Food conveyors, equipped like regular lunchroom 
 steam tables to insure warm food, were used to take 
 the food from the patients' kitchen in the Service 
 Building to the various wards. In all wards sep- 
 arate diet kitchens were located, and from these 
 kitchens the patients finally received their food. 
 For those patients who were able to walk to their 
 meals, a large electric truck carried their food from 
 
 the patient's kitchen to their mess hall in the main 
 building. 
 
 Of course. Army chow is Army chow, and com- 
 plaints will ever be heard. Daily changes in the 
 menus at "36", however, left but small chance for 
 wholesale complaint. Served in the "rough" — 
 meaning that table cloths and napkins are not used 
 with the same frequency in the Army as they are 
 by the "400" — the personnel at this post received 
 food that was wholesome and well cooked. 
 
 Lieut. Miller kept a small army of enlisted men 
 busy at the work of preparing food. Seventy-five 
 of the Medics were required to keep the kitchens 
 and mess halls running. Twelve rated cooks, as- 
 sisted by six student cooks, stood over the fires 
 seven days a week to turn out the daily three 
 squares. When the post first started there were 
 but a few hundred mouths to feed, but as the per- 
 sonnel increased and the oversea men arrived, the 
 daily chow lines numbered over 1,300 individuals. 
 
 Lieut. Miller's fourteen years' experience in this 
 line of work made him the right man in the right 
 place. Banquet steward for the Hotel Astor, stew- 
 ard for the Hotel Knickerbocker, assistant manager 
 and purchasing agent of the Herald Square Hotel 
 and steward for Rector's, are some of the titles 
 earned by Lieut. Miller before he was awarded the 
 nom de plume of "Mess Officer for '36' ". The duties 
 of Lieut. Miller growing to such enormous propor- 
 tions, Capt. E. R. Harris was later appointed mess 
 ofl^cer and Lieut. Miller has been dividing his time 
 between the mess halls and the post exchange.

 ONNECTED with U. S. General Hospital No. 36 
 
 C there are many branches of the work which 
 are not large enough to be grouped as separate 
 departments, but which fall under the more or less 
 meaningless head of miscellaneous. 
 
 One of the most popular places at "36" has been 
 the Information desk. Here the populace of De- 
 troit presented itself to seek knowledge of sons, 
 brothers, cousins, sweethearts and just plain 
 friends. Here kind-hearted folk brought gifts for 
 the men and left them for distribution. Here — at 
 the smallest but busiest desk in the hospital — thou- 
 sands of questions had to be answered daily. Miss 
 Pearl M. Bennett of the Army Nurse Corps had 
 charge of the desk. Assisting her were Mrs. Rose 
 Chipman of the Red Cross, Cpl. M. S. Van Dusen, 
 Pvt. Edgar Hughes and Pvt. Alex Krause. 
 
 The dispensary, in charge of Lieut. August Siedler, 
 gained quite a reputation early last spring when an 
 early morning inspection was held at the post. The 
 pharmacists were the only ones found on duty be- 
 fore the "whistle" blew. A place of many mixtures 
 and pills, yet accuracy and speed found a place. 
 Sgts. 1st Class Fiske and Poorman and Pvt. Schirtz, 
 ail registered pharmacists in civil hfe, held down 
 the job. 
 
 Starting without funds, in a two-by-four space 
 in the basement of the Surgical Building, the post 
 exchange developed into a "mahogany-finished, 
 glass-encased department store," with quarters in 
 the basement of the main building. Lieut. Charles 
 D. Miller supervised the "PX". 
 
 In a well-hghted room, opposite the post ex- 
 change, the "36" barbers, under the direction of 
 
 •Lieut. Miller, held forth. The installation of four 
 chairs started a steady stream of customers, and 
 Cpl. M. A. Wroton, Cpl. H. S. Chappius, Pvt. W. L. 
 Thigpen and Pvt. J. E. Gladwell were always busy. 
 
 The laundry, with a record of receiving 1,200 
 pieces of laundry on Saturday, June 12, had no 
 chance for rest. Twenty-five civilian employees, 
 working under Supt. C. H. Springstead, and aided 
 and abetted by four enlisted men, turned out the 
 work. During the month of May over 80,000 pieces 
 of work were handled, there being 19,591 sheets 
 alone. Capt. J. H. Christie, quartermaster, looked 
 after this phase of the hospital work. 
 
 The post postoffice, in charge of Lieut. A. W. 
 Heinle, has given constant, efficient service. Sgt. 
 Jacob Shapiro, Pvt. 1st Class C. W. Foltz and Pvt. 
 M. A. Wolfstein are the Medics who carry out the 
 "Burlesonian" duties at "36". 
 
 To the detachment supply office the worries of 
 fitting out the Medics fell. That they were well 
 equipped is due to these men: Sgt. 1st Class John 
 Senkel, Cpl. J. L. Wilson, Wag. H. O. Akevey, Pvt. 
 W. D. Smith and Pvt. W. M. Adams. 
 
 Four men, Cpl. John Petzold, Pvt. 1st Class U. 
 Bowers and Pvt. L. C. Bowlen, carried on the work 
 of the Uralogical Chnic. 
 
 To the civilian employees much credit for the 
 administration of "36" is due. Charles Kohler, chief 
 neer; R. L. Saumby, chief clerk; W. J. Hamilton, 
 head painter; Leon Froebel, head carpenter; Harry 
 Finlay, chief electrician; J. Maus, head steamfitter, 
 and John Jaques, head plumber, have been con- 
 stantly on the job seeing that their departments 
 were running in A-1 shape.

ARRIVAL at U. S. General Hospital No. 36 for 
 a large percentage of the men admitted to 
 receive treatment for the wounds which they 
 had suffered on the battlefields of Europe meant just 
 one thing, HOME. Detroit as a city claimed many 
 of the "36" patients as sons, while Michigan as a 
 state claimed practically all of them as natives. 
 
 Thus this hospital served not only as a great 
 reservoir in which the wounded of this section of 
 the country poured for treatment, but also as a 
 home for the men who, though able to visit home 
 and be visited by the home-folks in the wards, were 
 still unable to be discharged from the Army because 
 their wounds needed the constant attention of med- 
 ical officers. 
 
 It was early in February, the 9th, when "36" first 
 began to serve the men from overseas, twelve men 
 arriving on that day. Since the doors were first 
 thrown open to the wounded more than 1,500 over- 
 sea casuals have been admitted. At first they 
 came in groups of three and four, later they began 
 to arrive by the dozens. The largest assignment of 
 patients to reach this post on any one day was 101 ; 
 the largest to be entered on the receiving books 
 during any one week, 170. 
 
 As the days of the armistice lengthened the cases 
 became less and less serious, the majority of the 
 men arriving being listed as ambulant or walking 
 
 cases. For this reason, many of the earliest cases 
 to arrive were among the last to be discharged. 
 Some few of the men who arrived here in the early 
 days, while still confined to fitters, had to be trans- 
 ferred to other hospitals when "36" took the long 
 trail "West". 
 
 One of the striking features which must have 
 been observed by all those who came in contact 
 with this hospital was the relative fitness of the 
 men discharged — men who came to this hospital 
 on litters, on crutches and on canes and left as 
 normal men. Of the many men admitted more 
 than 300 entered civil life with certificates of dis- 
 abifity. Before receiving such certificates they 
 were cured and made normal as far as it was pos- 
 sible within the realms of medical science. Many 
 took advantage of the offer of the Government to 
 refit them for trades at which they might work and 
 suffer no handicap in earning capacity because of 
 their permanent disability. 
 
 Home, hospital, school ,recreation grounds — these 
 and many things more was what U. S. General Hos- 
 pital No. 36 meant to the man sent here from over- 
 seas. And with this in mind everyone connected 
 with the hospital, from its commanding officer, 
 Lieut. Col. A. T. Cooper, down to each enfisted man, 
 can look to this hospital as one that served the war- 
 scarred veterans sent to this post, well.

 LIFE for the personnel at U. S. General Hospital 
 No. 36 would have been mighty dull had it not 
 been for the many diversions to the dally 
 routine offered by the welfare organizations con- 
 nected with the post — the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., 
 American Library Association, Knights of Colum- 
 bus, Jewish Welfare Board, Salvation Army and 
 Detroit War Camp Community Service. 
 
 When the enlisted personnel arrived at "36" in 
 December, 1918, they were closely followed by rep- 
 resentatives of the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. Such 
 entertainment as could be provided was given in the 
 Service Building. Theatre tickets were furnished 
 through the Detroit War Camp Community Service 
 for the leading Detroit theatres. At the Army and 
 Navy Club Annex bi-weekly dances were given all 
 winter, to which the personnel of this post was 
 invited. 
 
 With the arrival of the patients and the comple- 
 tion of the main hospital building entertainment 
 was provided in all the ward rest rooms in the form 
 of victrolas and pianos and various table games. 
 Later, through Mrs. E. H. Trowbridge of the War 
 Camp Community Service and the Red Cross, 
 vaudeville was provided each Friday in the Red 
 Cross solarium. Noonday dances were also held 
 there, at which time patients and enlisted men were 
 given the benefit of free dancing instruction. 
 
 During the first days of spring the "Y" hut was 
 completed, and each evening entertainment of one 
 sort or another was furnished. Pool tables and 
 other diversions provided amusement for the men 
 
 during the day. C. I. Freeman, athletic director, 
 whipped his gymnasium into shape and caried out 
 an extensive program of reconstructional activities. 
 
 The Knights of Columbus furnished their sola- 
 rium with pool tables, reading and writing tables, 
 gave out cigars, cigarettes and pipes, distributed 
 writing paper, and generally carried on work to 
 make for better and more comfortable lives for the 
 men here. 
 
 The Salvation Army and Jewish Welfare Board, 
 though each was represented by but one man, did 
 their bit toward furnishing amusements ami.^ux- 
 uries. The A. L. A., in its cosy solarium, cat'ered 
 to the book lovers. In this solarium, books of fic- 
 tion, books of instruction, all issues of all magazines 
 and papers from all over the world could be found. 
 For those patients who were unable to leave the 
 wards, the A. L. A. made daily tours and supphed 
 their wants. 
 
 The following persons have been identified with 
 welfare work at "36": Red Cross — A. P. Carroll 
 (replaced as field director in May by W. S. Otis), 
 Robert Phillips, A. W. McMillan, P. S. Fox, J. W. 
 Jorgenson, Ralph McLean, W. H. Bartlett, W. A.

 ONE of the first thoughts that struck the en- 
 hsted men when they settled down to Uve their 
 life at U. S. General Hospital No. 36 was some 
 form of recreation. Being the basketball season, 
 a team was immediately started. This team went 
 through a very successful season, winning the great 
 majority of games, which were played against the 
 pick of Detroit amateur fives. C. I. Freeman, ath- 
 letic director for the Y. M. C. A., coached the team. 
 
 As the patients began to arrive in February atten- 
 tion was given their needs as to recreation. A vol- 
 ley ball court was built by the Red Cross on the 
 roof, indoor bowling attracted many, and many 
 minor games from checkers to indoor quoits were 
 indulged in. 
 
 Then came spring, and with it the fever to play 
 baseball. This bug got into the patients, enhsted 
 men and officers, in fact, invaded the nurses' quar- 
 ters insofar as to make them ardent rooters for the 
 team. A diamond was laid out on the field in the 
 northwest section of the hospital grounds, the Red 
 Cross furnished all equipment needed to play base- 
 ball, an athletic officer in the person of Lieut. D. C. 
 Drake arrived from Washington, and the season 
 was on. 
 
 Naturally, a team to represent the hospital was 
 formed and started the season by winning eight 
 straight games. However, the ball diamond fur- 
 
 nished recre-tion to everyone connected with the 
 hospital and the crack of the bat could be heard 
 from morning till night. Patients, who could but 
 hobble slowly about, stood out and played catch by 
 the hour; officers took advantage of the noon hour 
 and chased flies; enlisted personnal rushed to the 
 grounds in the evenings, chose sides, and a game 
 was started; and civilian employees took the field 
 whenever an opportunity presented. One of the 
 striking features of the ball field, however, was the 
 attraction it had for the children of the neighbor- 
 hood. Each night when dusk came on and interest 
 on the part of the soldiers for playing longer lagged, 
 the kiddies picked sides of from nine to sixteen men 
 and played until the ball could no longer be seen. 
 
 Other outdoor sports that attracted were volley 
 ball, handball, high jumping, pole vaulting, broad 
 jump and the dashes. To close a successful recrea- 
 tion career for this hospital the welfare organiza- 
 tions planned a huge athletic carnival for July 4. 
 Events were arranged for everyone, including a race 
 for wheeled chairs, and prizes valued at $700 were 
 offered. 
 
 The decision to forego the original plans to build 
 welfare huts on the present ball diamond showed 
 excellent judgment, for the benefit derived from 
 this phase of "36" recreational life could be meas- 
 ured only in terms of years. 
 
Base Ball Proves Most Popular "36" Sport

 FIGHTING one of the hardest battles of the war, 
 that of impatience, the enlisted personnel at 
 U. S. General Hospital No. 36 has carried on 
 its battle to a glorious end in caring for the men 
 who, returned wounded from France, were sent 
 here for treatment. 
 
 It was on December 14, 1918, that the Corpsmen 
 of "36" landed in Detroit, reported and were marked 
 "duty". The hospital at that time was in its em- 
 bryonic stage, and duty to these Medics had many 
 and various meanings. There was much office as- 
 sembhng to be done, help was needed to complete 
 certain phases of the building, there were windows 
 to wash and floors to scrub, and for the office force 
 there was paper work galore; for some few there 
 was ward duty — those assigned to the wards being 
 the only ones to whom the realization was actually 
 driven home that they were in the Medical Corps. 
 
 Then, during the last weeks of February, pa- 
 tients began to arrive, in threes and fours at first; 
 later, by the trainload. The term "Medics" then 
 took on a real meaning to the enlisted personnel 
 and they settled down to do their part in the recon- 
 struction of the wounded with the zest of the typical 
 American soldier. 
 
 That they were able to meet their work squarely 
 and enable their detachment commander ,Capt. W. 
 C. Squier, to carry out his part in the administration 
 
 of this post can be attributed directly to the train- 
 ing these men had at Camp Greenleaf, Ga., while 
 the war was on. 
 
 At Greenleaf it was their province to drill the awk- 
 ward squads and turn them out in record time 
 "ready for action in France". Expert drill masters, 
 they were denied the privilege of meeting the Hun 
 face to face in order that others might be properly 
 trained, and quickly. When the armistice was 
 signed they still had hopes of reaching France as 
 members of base hospitals. The War Department 
 ruled differently, however, and Detroit was their 
 destination. 
 
 At this post they have carried on in the great work 
 of fulfilling the mission of the Medical Department. 
 When the wounded Yank wanted a friend he found 
 one in the silent, at times a bit awkward, but always 
 a truly sympathetic Corpsman. 
 
 Lieut. A. W. Heinle, assistant detachment com- 
 mander, has also acted in the capacity of recruiting 
 officer and seventy-nine additions have been made 
 to the enlisted personnel. 
 
 Knowing that their commanding officer, Capt. W. 
 C. Squier, who has led them in their work, can 
 always look to their record and cite them as men 
 who have "performed work faithfully and consist- 
 ently", the Corpsmen of this post will return to 
 civilian life with the satisfied feeling of "work well 
 done".

 OF the many hospital newspapers Surgeon Gen- 
 eral Ireland has said: "These papers are but 
 another remedy which the Medical Depart- 
 ment is sending along, one that is easy to take, and 
 has immediate and satisfactory results." 
 
 To THE DETROIT AZUWER fell the lot of being 
 the remedy sent to U. S. A. General Hospital No. 36. 
 As a paper it has led a varied hfe, having appeared 
 in three different sizes. It started as an eight-page, 
 six-column publication, increased to eight columns, 
 and was subsequently reduced to five columns. It 
 has been published weekly for twenty-one weeks, 
 and as a remedy for the patients and enlisted men, 
 officers and nurses, it has been all that the prescrip- 
 tion called for. 
 
 The columns of THE AZUWER have been used 
 toward one end only — that of bettering the life of 
 the soldier. Where it could interpret the word of 
 the Government to the soldier it has done so. When 
 it could interpret the life of the soldier to the Gov- 
 ernment, this too, has been done. And at all times 
 it has done its part to keep the men within the hos- 
 pital in touch with the folks at home and the public 
 in general. Its mission, then, has been varied. Con- 
 sidering all phases, it has been a remarkable suc- 
 cess. 
 
 The paper was organized in January, 1919, by 
 Lient. H. C. Hines, its editor, and the original staff 
 was gleaned from the Educational Service and Med- 
 ical Detachment. Additional personnel was soon 
 added from the Section of General Publicity of the 
 Surgeon General's office. Among these were Hos- 
 pital Sergeant Henry G. Hullflsh, who was made 
 managing editor, and Sergeant Joseph J. Quinlin, 
 who took over the circulation department. With 
 
 the services of Hospital Sergeant E. J. Beck as mag- 
 azine editor and Corporal H. E. Knarr as advertising 
 manager, the staff was in good shape to issue a 
 creditable paper. In the field of art Ruth Ann Wil 
 bur, reconstruction aide, became the staff artist 
 and Corporal Joseph E. Kuczynski, the staff photog- 
 rapher. The employment of H. C. L. Jackson as 
 news editor was a wise selection and the news de- 
 partment was further augmented by the addition 
 of Corporal E. D. Bacon and Ruth I. Downey as 
 reporters. Other members of the staff who gave 
 good service to the paper from time to time were: 
 Private H. F. Williams, photographer; Private 
 George Stevens, Sergeant G. Schuhriemen, Ser- 
 geant J. A. Zastrow and Private First Class E. G. 
 Hacker, all of the advertising staff; and Sergeant 
 First Class G. R. Moore, Sergeant Erie D. Parsons 
 and Private First Class A. H. Capps, all of the cir- 
 culation department. 
 
 The Chief Educational Officer, Major George F. 
 Arps, was appointed supervising officer of the paper 
 and through his efforts the publication received 
 good publicity in the city of Detroit. It was first 
 sold by men in uniform. An order from Washing- 
 ton, however, dispensed with this plan, and the Boy 
 Scouts volunteered their services to distribute the 
 paper. This was continued until the summer vaca- 
 tion and since that time the paper has not been 
 soM on the streets. 
 
 Starting without one cent of capital, THE DE- 
 TROIT AZUWER has been more successful than 
 was anticipated, and much more successful than 
 many other hospital papers. It has paid as it went 
 and closes its career with a clean slate. The staff 
 confronted a difficult task, but, with all the vicissi- 
 tudes, the work was accomplished in a meritorious 
 manner.

 which took place here on May 8, 9 and 10. 
 
 Americanism, or New Americanism as so many of the for- 
 mer fighters of Uncle Sara chose to call it, is, accorditig to tlia 
 voice of the conventicn, an ideal uhich criibodies all the prin- 
 ciples of Justice, Freedom and Democracy for which American

 Mules. 
 
 Mules have two ends; the end 
 they eat with and a business end. 
 If a man goes too near the latter 
 end, it may turn out to be his latter 
 end. 
 
 Mules are long on ears and short 
 on brains. They are firm believers 
 in the status quo. A mule has few- 
 ideas; but once he takes a position, 
 he believes in sticking to it. 
 
 A jack-ass is the same as a mule 
 only more so. The only difference 
 is that he may have shorter ears. 
 
 If a mule had literary inclinations, 
 he could acquire a large vocabulary 
 including many words not in Web- 
 ster's. 
 
 BASHFUL BENNIE 
 
 Bennie was bashful 
 And also very shy, 
 He loved the girl 
 And wanted to show 
 Her a good time. 
 He wanted to take 
 Her out and buy 
 Her a swell dinner. 
 But he didn't ask her 
 Because he was too shy. 
 Yes, he was two shy — 
 He was two dollars shy. 
 
 IT'S PLAIN. 
 
 "O, papa," little Archie said, 
 "This question has me beat. 
 Why is it that the quadrupeds 
 So often have four feet?" 
 "I'll tell you. Archie," papa spoke. 
 "And make it clear to you. 
 It's just like twins, to illustrate, 
 They're usually two." 
 
 THE OLD MAID'S PRAYER. 
 
 An old maid 
 
 Wanted a husband. 
 
 She prayed: "Oh Lord, 
 
 Send me a nice man." 
 
 She met a fellow; 
 
 He made love to her; 
 
 She married him and 
 
 He turned out to be a scamp. 
 
 But she has no kick 
 Coming because she should 
 Not have prayed for a husband 
 Unless she wanted one real bad. 
 
 MY MODERN WIFE. 
 
 irrieil to a stunni 
 A maid of niotlerii style, 
 She is the sweetest thing alive 
 And has the sweetest smile, 
 She cannot sew a button on, 
 Her cooking has its faults. 
 She caiuiot even boil an egg. 
 But oh, how she can waltz! 
 
 Slie likes to go to cabarets, 
 And knows each lag-time ditty. 
 She knows what di'ug-store stuff to 
 
 use, 
 To make herself look pretty; 
 She sleeps each morning up to ten 
 And heeds the ringing clocks not, 
 She cannot cook, or bake or sew — 
 But oh, how she can fox-trot!

 The barbers of Chicago cut 4.248 
 tons of hair from the heads of their 
 customers during 1918. 
 
 345,432 brides baked heavier-than-

 DE DUCKS GET IT. 
 
 A lady one day asked a colored 
 soldier how much he got a month. 
 
 "Well, lady, we gets thuhty dol- 
 lars a month, but de ducks get it 
 all." 
 
 "The ducks get it all!" said the 
 surprised old lady, "Why, what do 
 you mean?" 
 
 "Well, it's this way. Dey gives us 
 thuhty a month, hut de ducks fif- 
 teen for allotment, dey de ducks a 
 dollah foah hits foh laundry. So at 
 the end of the month de ducks gets 
 it all," 
 
 EASY MONDY. 
 
 A discharged soldier with hi.=i 
 young wife recently went on a shop- 
 ping tour in Washington. Ex-Ser- 
 geant Jones, being very tired and 
 not having much interest in walking 
 the aisles of a department store, sat 
 himself down in the lobby and prom- 
 ised his wife to stay there until her 
 return. Soon he was fast asleep. In 
 a reclining position, with his hat in 
 his hand, he was enjoying a quiet 
 nap. When his wife returned she 
 was shockingly surprised to see a 
 dollar and a halt in her husband's 
 hat. 
 
 WASTED EFFORT. 
 
 A squad of rookies, composed of 
 various nationalities, mostly Italian, 
 on being given the command "Mark 
 time!" all executed the command 
 with the exception of one small dark- 
 skinned son of Naples. 
 
 The sergeant asked him why he 
 did not execute the movement and 
 he replied: 
 
 "Donna want to." 
 
 "Why not?" sharply demanded the 
 sergeant. 
 
 "Cause-a we walk-a like duece and 
 dont'a get-a no place!" 
 
 An American soldier brought in 
 a Hun prisoner recently and found 
 the fellow had a pocket full of 
 French money. The doughboy looked 
 at the money, the picture of fine 
 restaurants in Paris loomed before 
 him, and then, tapping the Hun oh 
 the shoulder, he said: 
 
 "Kamerad, kannst du craps schut- 
 zen?" 
 
 HE GOT IT, FOR HIS NERVE. 
 
 Private Murphy badly needed a 
 week-end pass, but he had had so 
 many his chances looked very slim. 
 However he paraded before his C. O. 
 'Sorr, I woulld loike to get a week- 
 end pass." 
 
 "What's the matter this time? 
 Your grandmother hasn't died again 
 surely?" 
 
 "No, sorr; it's loike this, sorr. 
 Oi've a brother who was born blind, 
 sorr, and he's just got his sight and 
 wants to see me, sorr." 
 
 WHAT? 
 
 In a newly mustered Irish regi- 
 ment a conscientious lieutenant was 
 haranguing his men before starting 
 for the front. 
 
 'It all depends on yez byes," he 
 exhorted. "Will yez fight or will yez 
 run?" 
 
 "We will!" 
 
 •Will what?" 
 
 "Will not!" responded the men 
 with one accord. 
 
 "I knew yez would," said the satis- 
 fled officer proudly. 
 
 THE UNPARDONABLE SIN. 
 
 An officer in the 9 2nd Division saw 
 one of his men limping painfully as he 
 came down the road and inquired as to 
 the reason. 
 
 "Well, suh, Ah was done kicked 
 by a mu-el." 
 
 "Kicked by a mule! Why, how 
 did that happen, George?" 
 
 "Ah doan' know, suh; Ah guess 
 Ah done fohgot to salute him." 
 
 MILITARY COURTESY. 
 
 You are in the office at the camp 
 dentist having a tooth pulled. As 
 the officer yanks the took out, you 
 yell "Ouch"' and bring your hand 
 to your face. He thinks you are 
 saluting him, drops his tools in your 
 lap and returns the salute. And 
 then you wake up. 
 
 Officer — Have you mopped the 
 floor yet? 
 
 Private — No. 
 Officer — No, what? 
 Private — No mop. 
 
 AS YOU WERE. 
 
 An officer of the A. E. F. relates 
 the following: 
 
 "We had a bunch of Negro troops 
 on board and it was a terrible ex- 
 perience to them, as most of them 
 had never been away from home be- 
 fore. They were very religious and 
 used to pray all over the ship. One 
 big buck held a prayer right outside 
 my window thus; "O I^ord, if Thou 
 doesn't do another thing on this trip, 
 call this ocean to attention." 
 
 MORE SPEED. 
 
 A trainload of newly drafted men 
 reached their cantonment late in the 
 afternoon. By the time they had 
 passed through the receiving station 
 and the hands of the doctors it was 
 nearly midnight. Several of them 
 were awakened at 4 o'clock the fol- 
 fowing morning to assist the cooks in 
 preparing breakfast. As one well 
 built, sleepy drafted man got to his 
 feet he stretched and yawned: 
 
 "It doesn't take long to spend a 
 night in the army." 
 
 TOO EARLY. 
 
 For the first three mornings the 
 rookie had been late for reveille roll- 
 call and the top sergeant was get- 
 ting tired of bawling him out. On 
 the fourth morning the rookie came 
 out of his tent, half dressed and 
 rubbing his eyes. 
 
 "Say, you," bawled the sergeant, 
 "can't you get out here when reveille 
 blows?" 
 
 'No, sir," replied the rookie, it al- 
 ways blows before I get up." 
 
 "A PRESENT HELP IN TIME OF 
 NEED." 
 
 It was his first guard duty. 
 
 "Halt! Who's that?" 
 
 "Officer of the Day." 
 
 "Advance, Officer of the Day, and 
 be recognized." 
 
 The O. D. waited for his recogni- 
 tion. Finally the rookie blurted out 
 nervously: 
 
 "What sayest thou?" 
 
 THE LEARNED SIAJOR AND THE 
 LOWLY PRIVATE. 
 
 Major — My boy, what do you in- 
 tend doing when you get out of the 
 army? 
 
 Private — Stay out, sir.

 THE SOLDIER'S PRAYER. 
 
 Now I lay me down to sleep 
 
 I pray thee. Lord, my gun to keep 
 
 Let no other soldier take 
 
 My socks and shoes before I wake. 
 
 Lord, please grant me with my slum- 
 ber 
 
 To keep this cot upon its lumber 
 
 May no peg or guy rope break 
 
 And let my tent down before I wake. 
 
 Keep me safely in thy sight. 
 
 Grant no fire drills at night. 
 
 And in the morning let me wake 
 
 Breathing scent of sirloin steak. 
 
 God protect me in my dreams 
 
 And make it better than it seems, 
 
 Grant the time will swiftly fly 
 
 When I myself shall rest on high. 
 
 Deliver me from work and drills 
 
 And when I'm sick don't feed me 
 pills. 
 
 If I should hurt this head of mine 
 
 Don't paint it up with iodine. 
 
 Take me back into the land 
 
 Where they walk without a band, 
 
 Where no thrilling bugle blows 
 
 And where the women wash the 
 clothes. 
 
 In a cozy feather bed 
 
 Where I long to lay my head 
 
 Far away from company scenes 
 
 And the smell of half-baked beans; 
 
 God, thou knowest all my woes. 
 
 Heed me in my dying throes — 
 
 Take me back — I promise then 
 
 Never to enlist again. 
 
 — The Ward Healer. 
 
 COMMUNICATE IT FLORALLY. 
 
 Hey, sergeant, don't cuss out that 
 
 bone-headed private; 
 Don't flay him with language profuse 
 
 and profane; 
 For there is a way far more forceful 
 
 and fitting 
 To show what you think and to make 
 
 It quite plain; 
 Say it with flowers. 
 
 Hey, soldier, don't rave at the colonel 
 
 or captain 
 For turning you down when you asked 
 for discharge; ' 
 
 Don't make the surrounding air blue 
 
 with your curses. 
 Do just what I mentioned above to 
 the sarge; 
 Say it with flowers.

 THE MEDICS' AVE.\PON. 
 We have no guns or rifles, 
 
 Xo sabres or grenades; 
 We have no showy weapons 
 
 To cai'iy in parades; 
 But in this branch of service 
 We do go o'ei' the top 
 (Of floors) but not with rifles — 
 AVe do it with a mop. 
 
 Nor do we liandle jiowder 
 
 Or deadly TNT; 
 We work with soap and water 
 
 To save democracy; 
 We're all the time policing 
 
 But much unlike a cop, 
 We have no stars or billies — 
 
 We do it witli a mop.

 Oh ai'iiiy chow! oh ai'niy chow! 
 I wish that I could eat you now.

 QUOTH THE MAIDEN EVER: 
 "MOORE." 
 
 A certain young soldier named Moore, 
 Fell in love, then fell out and got sore; 
 But the girl he had kissed, 
 Was like Oliver Twist — 
 She was all the time crying for 
 Moore. 
 
 — E. J. B. 
 
 HE DID WHAT HE SAID. 
 
 He said: "I'm dying for a drink 
 And of this alcohol I'll quaff," 
 It was not grain but it was wood 
 And now he has an epitaph.

 OBEYING-ORDERS. 
 
 My parents told me not to smoke. I 
 
 don't. 
 Nor listen to a naughty joke. I don't. 
 They made it clear I mustn't wink 
 
 At pretty girls or even think 
 
 About intoxicating drink. I don't. 
 To flirt or dance is very wrong. 1 
 
 don't. 
 Wild youth chase women, wine and 
 
 song. I don't. 
 I kiss no girls not even one, 
 I do not know how it is done. 
 You would not think I had much fun. 
 
 I don't.

 To love a girl 
 And then not gitter." 
 
 —The Trouble Buster. 
 
 He bought her flowers. 
 And many a dinner; 
 He tried darn hard. 
 But couldn't winner. 
 
 How sweet is love. 
 But how much better 
 He'd feel if he 
 Had never metter.

 THE SLOGAN OF THE ARMY. 
 
 The army has slogans and sayings 
 
 well-known. 
 And phrases which you will recall; 
 And so has this outfit a slogan that's 
 
 voiced 
 And meant from the heart by us all. 
 
 Tou hear it at morning, at noontime, 
 
 at night. 
 Between times, all soldiers repeat 
 That watch -word, that question, that 
 
 yearningful phrase; 
 I'll quote it "Say when do we eat?" 
 
 — E. J. B. 
 
 Philosophy, some one has said, is 
 the happy faculty of being able to 
 kid yourself along. 
 
 OH, TIME IN THY FLIGHT. 
 
 'Twas the night before Pay Day, and 
 
 all thru my jeans 
 I hunted in vain for the price of some 
 
 beans. 
 Not a quarter was stirring, not even 
 
 a Jit; 
 The Kale was off duty, milled edges 
 
 had quit. 
 Forward, turn forward. Oh Time in 
 
 thy flight- 
 Make it tomorrow, just for tonight!

 make tests with, they have been try- 
 ing to find a nice name for it, a nurse

 and another said lucille, but the jolce 
 is on them cause it aint that kind of a 
 g'ote. ha ha. ha ha.

 more-all offiser. He gets us free 
 Tickets to All the shows and we 
 don't have to carry water to the 
 elefants or nuthin. 
 
 PETE. 
 
 BESSIE BUNK'S ADVICE. 
 
 There are a lot of fine old trees in 
 our front yard. How can I attract 
 the squirrels? Nature Lover. 
 
 Why don't you sit on your front 
 porch for several hours each day in 
 a position where the squirrels can see 
 you? 
 
 Our grocery-hoy alway's dirties up 
 the back-porch when he delivers our 
 orders. I don't want to hurt his feel- 
 ings and would like to learn of a dip- 
 lomatic way of preventing this. 
 
 Mrs. L. 
 
 Tactfully suggest that he come in 
 the front way after this. 
 
 I have a sweetheart ,who is a 
 corporal. He has told me a lot about 
 military customs and I am beginning 
 to appreciate the great responsibili- 
 ties he has to carry for his small pay. 
 What I want to ask is this: 
 
 Do the Army nurses have to salute 
 corporals? 
 
 PRUNELLA Y. 
 
 No, they don't have to salute them; 
 they simply stand at attention when 
 a corporal comes into the room. 
 
 The insignia of the army are a con- 
 stant riddle to me. The other day, 
 I saw a soldier with two old-gold 
 chevrons on his arm. Their color was 
 like that of the autumn sun shining 
 through a haze. What do they sig- 
 nify,? MYRTLE. 
 Fach chevron signifies six months 
 The old-gold color does not mean 
 "over there" but three months "on 
 there." He has worn his silver chev- 
 rons for that length of time. 
 
 What will clean ivory? D. B. V. 
 Any good shampoo soap ought to 
 be suitable. 
 
 What would you suggest as a bal- 
 anced diet for silk-worms? 
 
 OLE SWENSON. 
 
 The best thing which we have 
 found in our experience is ground 
 corn-cobs stewed in vinegar with just 
 a pinch of horse-radish added for 
 flavor. 
 
 UNFAMILIAR FACTS. 
 
 Practically no spaghetti is eaten in 
 Afghanistan. 
 
 234,896 musical instruments and 10,- 
 687 ukeleles were sold by Chicago

 43,456 moonlight boat-rides were 
 conducted July 4. The average dis- 
 tance between a fellow and his girl 
 according to figures tabulated for 188,- 
 765 couples, was 000002 inches. 
 
 The average woman is said to have 
 a vocabulary of 3,500 words. But 
 think of the rapid turn-over of her 
 verbal stock, to use store-keepers' 
 lingo. 
 
 There are 345,678,999,111 holes in 
 the socks of the bachelors of the 
 United States. 
 
 Some one has counted 5,543 differ- 
 ent, thoroughly respectable ways in 
 which a girl can amuse herself. And 
 yet some of them do tatting. 
 
 2,789,456 people own fishing tackled 
 Twenty per cent of these catch fish 
 and the other eighty per cent are 
 worm-drowners. 
 
 There are 678 cuckoo clocks in the 
 State of Delaware, not including Wil- 
 mington. Thirteen of these are in 
 running order and keep time. 
 
 567,345 celluloid collars were sold 
 in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi 
 during 1918. 
 
 The distance from Detroit to Buf- 
 falo is approximately the same as that 
 from Buffalo to Detroit. 
 
 67,899 people who have acquired 
 Dominant Will-Power by means of 
 correspondence school instruction turn 
 over and go to sleep again when they 
 hear the alarm-clock in the morning. 
 
 LOST AND FOUND. 
 
 They met one evening face-to-face. 
 
 Their talk was heart-to-heart; 
 
 .\nd when the village clock struck 
 
 twelve. 
 He said: "I must depart." 
 
 The color all had left her cheek, 
 
 He thought: "It pains her so 
 
 "To see nie leave: her heart stands still, 
 
 "She pales to see me go." 
 
 Her face was wan, her cheeks were 
 
 pale. 
 Put that did not denote 
 Her color left because he did — 
 It was upon his coat.
