' Seventh Street, Between D & E You Know = - THE ARMY Not until December, if then, has the House military committee the slightest hope of passing necessary service legislation. “Blocked” is the proper word of the present attitude of the House regarding affairs of a military nature. There are many and various opinions as to present legls- lative stagnation. One outstanding fact seems to prevail—members of the House are apparently not in a state of mind at present to give seri- ous consideration to a number of service bills which were sidetracked months ago. Chairman Kahn during the last ses- sion was not given the support by the House organization in the considera- tion of bills advocated by him and bis committee. It further appears that no particular effort was made on the part of that organization to line up any legislation which the military committee reported out. Other than the passage by the Senate of a bill which amends the reorganization act to increase efficiency of the National Guard and a bill authorizing the President to remove bureau chiefs as he does members of the general staff, nothing further has been done. Faced with this situation, the military com- mittees are obliged to mark time un- til a disposition is shown by Congress to give serious thought to necessary military legislation. The prediction has been made that when pending differences in the department have been satisfactorily settled, the pay adjustment and other important mat- ters of the service will be recelvefl' by the House in a more receptive manner. Adjusting Pay of Officers. Members of the joint committee of the Senate and House, who are desig- nated to recommend new service pay and allowance legislation, appear to be non-committal in their opinion as to what action may be taken by the committee. Representative McKenzie, expressing his view of the situation some weeks ago, stated to the writer that, in his opinion, the housing of officers’ families in comfortable per- manent quarters was a most essen- tial factor in keeping up the morale of the Army, especially among junior officers who are.faced with the cost of raising a family and keeping u a certain standing of living. “The al- lowance for officers’ quarters,’ sald Mr. McKenzie, “might be more con- sistently arranged. 1 could never un- derstand why a bachelor brigadier general should be allowed twelve rooms, while junior officers with per- haps & family of two or more chil- dren are limited to an inadequate number of rooms.” It is with confi- dence in the members of the Jjoint committee that officers believe an im- partial consideration will be given the subject and that the findings will be in keeping with the facts. It is well known that even in the camps, where living expenses are far less than in cities, it is a rare case where junior officers are known to keep even one servant in their house- hold. At stations in the larger cities officers of medium rank without pri- vate incomes are known to be either using up their savings in making both ends meet or living in a man- ner not compatible with that of even a junior officer. Retired Officers an Reservists. It is understood that a number of re- tired officers of the Regular Army have expressed a desire for appointment in the Officers’ Reserve Corps. In order to determine the eligibility of retired of- ficers as reservists the judge advocate general has, at the request of the Secre- tary of War, rendered the opinion that, as retired officers are liable to be called to active service in event of war, they are eligible as reservists. It was point- e out that as regular officers on the active list may be appointed to the re- serve corps, the retired officer if phys- ically and mentally qualified might also be appointed, the plain.intent of Con- gress being that any one with the quired military _training and _oth qualifications is eligible for the Officers’ Reserve Corps. Consolidation of Medical Work. Army medical officers are en- thusiastic over. the project whereby the Army Medical School, Medical Museum and library will be grouped at the Walter Reed General Hospital. Tho move will enable the combina- tion of clinical facilities of the hos- pital with the theoretical instruc- tion of the schools, which will prove of value to the entire service. As outlined, the consolidation, including Schools for the dental and veterinary, will, when completed. mark this in- istifution as one of the greatest army medical teaching centers In existence. It is expected the teach- ing staff of the combined schools will lend their services to the more complicated work of the hospital, particularly -in matters pertaining to advanced laboratory _work, blood chemistry and higher X-ray work. Store Dies for Emergency. In order to avoid many months !of unnecessary delay, in event of an- other unexpected ~emergency, the ordnance department has been di- rected to catalogue and store the large quantity of dies, jigs and fix- tures for the manufacture of small arms used by the government in the war. It is estimated that there are millions of dollars’ worth of this class of material on hand which could be quickly applied to industrial ma- chinery in case of need and used for the manufacture of war material. Examinations for Junior Officers. It is hoped that by November 1 the. War Department will be ready to an- nounce the list of successful candi- dates for commissions as second lieutenants in the Regular Army. Much of the delay was caused . by ~Sensi that really counts in ‘“cave dwelle: embassies, an groups.

A recent cable received from the Philippines stated that the papers of thirty-seven candidates had been mailed. It is anticipated by the time those papers are yeceived that all others will be marked and the papers of the candidates in the Phil- ippines can be promptly examined and the final announcement made. Belts for Enlisted Men. Commencing October 15, all war- rant officers, field clerks and enlisted men stationed in the district of Washington will wear a leather belt while outside their barracks or quarters, except when under arms. Warrant officers and fleld clerks are to wear the warrant officers' saber belt without saber slings, or a belt similar in character, Enlisted men are to wear the garrison leather belt, which will be issued without cost as a part of their equipment. These belts will be worn outside the service coat and under the overcoat. Passing Notes. The training period for engineer re- serve officers at Camp Humphreys will be reduced from three to two months. Instructions have been issued the chiefs of infantry, cavalry, fleld ar- tillery and the corps area command- ers to prepare lessons for the corre- spondence schools for reserve officers which will be conducted by mail. The Army Mutual Aid Association, In its drive to increase membership, has gained more members during the past six months than during any full year since 1880. T = ST —— 3 > — <! Reviewing activities of the bureau | of yards and docks during the world | war, the Navy Department yt‘sterds)’fi released its history of naval shore | construction in the form of an illus- | trated book of 500 pages, setting forth the high speed and high pres sure conditions which existed during | the trying days of 1917-1918. A digest of the book, which is the | joint production of some thirty-five | different officers, shows the work of the bureau as carried out through the corps of civil engineers of the Navy | to _be a function less known to the| public than other branches of the! Navy. It is a fact, however, that without an adequate “shore estab- | lishment” the Navy would quickly tose its effectiveness. The fleet must have its dockyards and bases, where it may put in for repairs, renewals. supplies and complement. In time o stress the Navy must have its train ing camps in advance of those for the Army, as acts of war at sea pre- cede those ashore under such condi- tions as prevailed In 1917. Beside the necessary hospitals ashore, naval communications must be safeguarded by efficient radio stations. Chapters of the book are devoted to war expansion, the rapid pro- vision of cantonments and schools | for 200,000 naval recruits, to the| establishment of emergency hospitals, to an enormous industrial expansion at navy yards for a program of war ship construction, to the linking of chain of great dry docks about thi American coast, to the development of power plants and distributing sys- tems on an unprecedented scale at navy yards and statio dling of ordnance material on a vast scale and the enlargement of facili- ties for the storage and issue of fuel and general supplies. The book also describes the construction of a large Good Plumbing Is a Wise Investment Good clothes last longer. Good food is more nutri- tious. Good plumbing is a wise investment.

Portugal Honors NC-4 Crew. Officers and enlisted men of the United States Navy who composed the crew of the NC-4, which made the . first _successful trans-Atlantic flight, May, 1919, have just been con- ferred, the Milltary Order of the Tower and Sword by the president of the republic of Portugal. The Mili- tary Order of the Avis, with relative diplomas, was conferred on the _fol- lowing officers who were instrumen- tal in the fllght: Grade of grand official, Rear ~Admiral Andrew T. Long, Capt. Harley H. Christy; grade of commander, Commander Fred F. Rogers, Lieutenant Commander Rich- ard E. Byrd; grade of official, Lieut, (fg)_Braxton Rhodes. Reciplents of the Military Order of the Tower and the Sword follow: Commander John and up-to-date plant at Charleston, ‘W. Va., for government manufacture of armor plate and projectiles, the establishment of extensive systems of naval aviation bases and bases for submarines, to the provision of facili- ties for the Marine Corps and for student officers at the Naval Academy and elsewhere; in short, it is shown that construction of every kind wher- ever the Navy comes ashore for sup- plies, maintenance or personnel is provided for. This war history of the construction bureau will be re- celved with particular attention by the general reader as affording a sidelight on the magnitude of our Navy's activities in the prosecutiou of the war.

Announcement of the names of those found qualified for appointment in the regular establishment is ex- pected within the next few days. Appointment will be to grades of HEMSTITCHING lieutenant, junior leutenant, ensign Pi 2 and warrant officer. It is estimated icot Edging that the number found qualified for P’ "0 appointment will exceed the maxi- awing mum estimate of 800. Due to the increase, there will likely be a re- apportionment of numbers in the sev- eral grades of the line and a creation of vacancies in the permanent grades. The making of selections to fill grades that now exist will probably occur in the grades of rear admiral, captain and commander.

U Styles in Furniture Really Dont Change Furniture isn’t changeable in style like women’s clothes, and while you don’t hesitate ofttimes to pay a large amount for a fine coat that is just as liable to be out of style in a season or so—yet you hesitate about paying the same amount for a suite of furni- ture that will last you a lifetime. Furniture styles are modeled after the old master de- signers, and while it is true,that the Queen Anne or Sheraton style may be more popular today than that of Chippendale—yet it is just as possible that next year Chippendale will be more in demand. But always, the popular style is often one of the great master designers. - Furniture, when properly chosen, is an investment that will yield a lifetime of happiness, pleasure and comfort, and here at the Lifetime Furniture Store is a corps of salesmen who will help you to select furniture of a type that will give you lasting satis- faction.
