WHO WAS THE GIRL
FROM I*l* 1.1, IX, WISH.'
In the Issue of December 5 of the
Pembervllle (Ohio) Leader was pub
lished a letter from Sergeant Claire
H. Speck, dated Somewhere In
France, In which he said:
"This Is, indeed, * small World,
after all. The other day, 1 was In
the V. M. C. A. and up at the 1 desk
was a nurse who was transacting
some business and Who gave her ad
dress as Pullman, Wash. i pricked
up my cars at this and informed this
patriotic "American girl that I knew a
man living there by the name of
George Schroeder, and she said 'I
know him.' Before she had time to
"come to" 1 told her 1 also knew the
Emersons there and she said, 'Yes,
they run a large mercantile store.'
She thought I was from Washington
and was greatly surprised to know
that I hailed from the Buckeye state,
and, very lady like, she said, "Isn't
It queer, that we should meet across
the continent?" It's too bad I can't
tell my Pullman friends the nurse's
name, but' I didn't ask her for it and,
naturally, she didn't ask me for mine.
My reason for not getting her name,
etc., etc., Is military."
Possibly the girl was Miss Ida May
Kcene, formerly nurse in charge of
the State College sanitorium, who is
now in France.

COLLEGE LOSES MISS DODGE
Miss Marcella Dodge lias resigned
from the State College faculty. For
two year? she has been college dieti
tian and a teacher in the home eco
nomics department As head of the
college dining hall committee, she
deserves considerable credit for hav
ing provided the best, and most rea
sonable food, taking war prices into
consideration, the halls have known
for years.
Miss Dodge was chief of the com
missary department for the men in
uniform since their first arrival in
June, 1018. Too much can not be
said of her supervising and planning
the work in the kitchens. She
planned and equipped the kitchen of
the new mess hall in a most efficient
manner.
In student life, Miss Dodge was
one of the best mixers. She was a
friend to everyone. She will be
missed most by the girls in her
classes, perhaps, and the loss of her
services as supervisor of the dining
halls will bo felt by many others.
Everyone who kgew her, knows how
difficult it will be to replace her.
and everyone keenly feels the loss.

keep your War Savings pledge.
