They were supposed to run through an orange grove in pseudo-attack, and fall prone at the signal of the officer in charge.

The Cuban lad killed it. . . and with the dead evidence they finally convinced the squad leader that they didn’t deserve ‘“‘court martial.” LIKE OLD TIMES to see Lor-| raine Adams Lundgren (Mrs. Rich | ard Lundgren) she admits she is} a member of the Stork Glub-to-be. | Her father, A, Maitland Adams, is delighted to be joining the Grandpa Club.
