—_— NATIONAL GUARD NEWS | @apt. Herman H. Pohl, Corps of Erigineers, U. S’ A., fresh from a special course of instruction at the Massachusetts Institute of Technolgy. ha$ reported for duty as Instructor for. the engineer troops of the Dis- trit of Columbia National Guard. Cipt. Pohl was appointed to the Military Academy from Virginia, his birtplace. He graduated from the acédemy August 30, 1917, and was immediately appointed a captain in the Engineer Corps. Word received from the District of Columbia National Guard rifle team attending the national matches at,Camp Perry, Ohio, states that the team has been assigned very com- fortable quarters, but that the usual diséomforts at the’ beginning of a camp were present, although they were belng rapidly overcome. Ail team members were reported well and anxious to get through the training period of the camp and start the real tests in the National Rifle As- soclation matches. Capt. Berkley Inge, Quartermaster Section, Officers’ Reserve Corps, has been granted permission by Brig. Gen. Stéphan to organize the military police company for the 29th Division. | This company will be known as the 29th Milltary Police Company and will be at- tached to division headquarters. Capt. Inge has had a varied military cateer, Pavine served in the volun- teer army during the war with Spain in National Guard units betwcen that time and_the world war, during which he served in the reserve corps. Capt. Inge hopes to complete the organ-| ization of his company from amcng the ex-service men of the District, and will be at the armory, 472 L street northwest each Tuesday even- ing to meet those interested. In the fi public appearance of the District National Guard Band at Wal- ter Reed Hospital on Friday evening it was evident that the National Guard of the District possesses a real asset. The men played exceptionally well un- der the direction of Bandmaster Mal- colm_W. Horton, who organized it and who has been in charge of instruction. It was very fitting that this band, or- Fanized since the close of the war, but composed principally of men with long Natlonal Guard service, should render its first public concert to those who suffered during the world wa During the past week the following enlisted men of the District National Guard have been nominated by Gen. Stephan for commissions in the Engi- neer Corps: Master Sergt. Robert G. MacCartee, Sergt. Clarence S. Shields, Sergt. Lynn D. O'Brien, Sergt. Roy W. Keesee. These men have all had long N tional Guard service and all served i the army during the world war. These nominations indicate that the ex-serv- ice man who enters the National Guard at this time has the opportunity of gaining a commission as the organiza- tion grows. The militia bureau of the War De- partment has authorized the District of Columbla National Guard to pro- ceed with the organization of an ad- ditional battallon of engineers and the completion of regimental headquarters. ‘Three companies constitue a battalion in an engineer regiment, and each company may be organized with a min- imum_strenwth of fifty enlisted men. Persons interested in the organization of these companies, and especially for- mer officers who served in the Enzi- neer Corps during the world war, should communicate with the adjutant zeneral at the armory First Sergt.

September 3.— Soundproof rooms for nervous artists are the latest in New York hotel service. One manager has itstalled one on the top floor of his hotel for the use of artist guests and the innovation has be- come so popular that reservations qr its use have been made sev- efal days in advance. Singers, composers and actors and ah occasional versifier have found there the noiseless atmosphere so stimulating to the artistic imagi- nation. High C or any other soar: g note may be reached for by the singer without fear that a whirring pneumatic riveter next door will break in and spoil the performance. Not the merest sound can sneak in to play the mischief when the ceeative artist is engaged in culti- vating the muse. Nerves jangled by the clamor and strain of city life are soothed by silence, and patrons of the soundproof room say they don't see how they ever . endured noise before. Without Windows. There are no windows in the room and the door is of the ice- box type. The room is ventilated by means of special devices which # noiselessly let in fresh air and draw out the used air in the same manner. Experiment proved that no ordi- nary noise could begin to penetrate the specially constructed walls of the room. The walls just stified the noise before it even got started. A lusty yell in the outside corri- dor died in the partition before reaching the stage of adolescence. Even a squad of window washers with rattly stepladders and jang- ling tin buckets failed to yegister on the calm inside the room. A mob of angry janitgrs throw- ing empty ash cans in an arcaway was suggested s the supreme test of the noise-smothering qualities of the apartment. but the builders claimed that wasn't necessary. Several delicate ~ spirits who claimed they couldn't find any place in the city where they could hear themselves think have made reser- vations of the room. The furnishings are simple. ‘A few creakless chairs luxuriously upholstered and a heavy study table rest on a thick carpet in which the feet sink without a sound. A grand plano stands in one corner. The walls and ceiling are done in a flat dove-gray, with- out a bit of color of any kihd to disturb the quiet neutrality of the room’s atmosphere. SEES HOME-LOVING WOMEN BEATEN AN RACE FOR MAN 'S AFFECTION Bpecial Dispateh to The Star. BALTIMORE. September 3.— Which holds the greater fascina- tion for the average man—the home-loving wife, who likes to amend clothes and cook, or the butterfly, with her caprices and fickle fashions? This is the question which was put up to a number of local wom- en, with varying results. Men Fall for Butterfies. Mrs. Howard T. Schwarz, former suffrage leader, says: “I am sorry to say that from my observations there are far too many men who do not appreciate the domesti- cated woman and who fall into the clutches of the more deadly type Mrs. Schwarz further said that she believes the -butterfly is B0 adept in her art of hypnotizing and captivating men that, ordi- narily, the home-loving species is beaten before she starts to fight.

There are butterfly men as well as butterfly women.” Physical directors, however, give an entirely different angle to the question and claim that the “cling- ing vine” and domestic type of wom- an is giving way to the athletic, robust girl of today. “Participation in sports has ac- complished the change from the once popular dependent woman to the self-reliant Amazon of toda: declared Miss Margaret Phelps, physical director of the Young Wom- en’s Christian Association. “Milady no longer aspires to petite daintiness, but now dis- plays her muscles and is proud in- stead of ashamed of the physical feats she can accomplish,” sald Miss Phelps. : CHANGE IN NAVAL POLICY FORECAST Departure Made From Giving Medical Officer Command of Hospital Ship. Special Dispatch to The Star. ANNAPOLIS, September 3.—A change from the policy of assigning medical officers of the Navy to the command of hospital ships, which has been the custom since the term of President Roosevelt, is indicated by the designgtion of Capt.

It will be remembered that the first assignment of a medical officer to this duty was strenuously opposed by most | of the line officers of the service. Rear Admiral Willard H. Brownson, com- mander of the fleet of which the vessel | was a part, opposed it so strongly that he was relieved of command by President Roosévelt.

Eagle 56, au- signed to the District naval reserves, has been ready at the Portsmouth, .

Bqth officers and men are anxious to have the vessel here In order to begin the active tralning program for the winter season just approach- Ing. It was pointed out that the ves- sel 1s a necessity in ofder fo give proper naval istruction to the mem- bers ‘of the local reserve force and keep them up to the minute in naval work. The commandant of the Washing- ton navy yard, who is in charge of the reserves of this District is su- thorized to make up the crew from reeervists and send them after the vessel, it was said st the Navy De- partment. The reserve officers said that’ they expected to go after the vessel immediately upon receipt of notice of its availability, and are at a loss, they say, to understand the delay. Secretary Denby of the Navy De- partment is interested in having one of the eagle tyre of boats assigned Kere, and it was throdgh his orders that one -of the vestels at Ports- mouth was put_in condition to he brought here. However, the vessel has been put in condition and s ready, but the necessary orders dis- patching a crew of reserves are b ing held up here for some unexplain- ed reason. Officers of the local reserve are mapping out a reorganization plan for the local reserves in connection with the recent orders received for a_reduction of the officer personnel of the local forces. According to ten- tative plans being discussed, it was said that the divisions will be reas- signed and new division officers d tailed. These officers will be required to take immediate steps to increase the drill attendance of the local ei listed reservists, and will be held r sponsible for the efficiency of thelr di- visions. The officers in charge now are going over the roster of officers and Soon will make a selection of those who will be placed in command of the divisions. Division officers are to bs left to use their initiative in working out plans for increasing the attend- ance. The Navy Department has issued orders directing the commandants of pava) districts to cease’ the recruiting of the reserves. While men will be re-enrolled, there will be no more en- listments of men who have not had any naval training.
