These anti-aircraft guns are known as "Archies" BelowMen of the 313th U.S. Field Artillery cleaning and polishing 75-millimeter shells, to be sent over to the Hun at night.

"That's no reason" "Why, Archie!" cried Gloria.

Georgia and Connie Grayson were off to foregather with a crowd of friends at the Lake Tahoe "Tavern"; Evelyn returned to her mother in Oakland; Archie departed importantly to aid his father "in the business"; Teddy went away regretfully.
