On applications from warrant of- ers or enlisted men of the Regular Army, or members of the Enlisted Reserve Corps, who did not have service in the Army between April 1917, and November 11, 1918, the provisions of paragraph 79b of spe- cial regulations Na. 43, 1921, will apply. During the week the following as- signments affecting reserve officers esiding in Washington were an- rounced at Organized Reserve head- quarters. They are: Second Lieut. James D. Power, Field Artillery Re- serve, now attached to the 3$13th Field Artillery for training and in- struction, is relieved from such at tachment and is assigned thereto; First Lieut. Linden K. Ashford, Infantry Reserve, having been trans- ferred to the Quartermaster Reserve and relieved from assignment to the §0th Division, is relleved from as- slgnment to _the 320th Infantry First Lieut. Willam H. Lossman, Quartermaster Reserve, is reileved from attachment to the quarter- master section at 80th Division head- quarters for training and instruction and is assigned to the 80th Division trains (Quartermaster Corps); First Lieut. Arthur L. Thomas, Infantry teserve. having removed from the S0th Division area, §s relieved from assignment to the 320th Infantry. First Lieut. Clyde B. Lanham, Field Artlllery Reserve, having been as. signed to the 80th Division, is as- signed to the 313th Fleld Artillery. Plans now in preparation by the War Department contemplate the training of approximately 100 ord- nance reserve officers of the branch assignment group, the first increment of which began their instruction at the presidio of San Francisco, Calif., on May 10, and which training will not conclude until May 24. From May 31 to June 14 arrangements have been made by the department to hold sim- ilar courses of instruction at Spring- field Acrmory, Watertown Arsenal, Frankford Arsenal, Watervliet Ar- senal and a few ordnance reservists will receive instruction at San An- tonio Arsenal and in the several di- visions of the office of the chief of ordnance in Washington. In addition to the above-mentioned Spring train- ing camps plans have been formu- lated by the War Department holding Summer training camps, at which ordnance reserve officers of the branch assignment group may under- £0 an intensified course of instruction. ‘Two Summer camps will be held, as follows: One at Aberdeen Proving Ground, from August 2 to 16. while the second course of training will be held at Rock Island Arsenal from August 1 to 30. Ordnance reserve officers residing in Washington of the branch assign ment group who desire to take this training this Summer should, without further delay, get in communication with their places of assignment, as the commanding officers of ordnance establishments and district chlefs.will be requested by the department to recommend ordnance reservists who are eligible and who desire to take this training. The present instruc tion given at Rock Island and Aber- deen consists of basic tralning courses which should be taken by all ordnance reserve officers regardless of their as signments. The primary purpose of these courses, it is pointed out by Regular ordnance officers, is to famil iarize each officer generally with the various kinds of materfal handled by With this end in view War Department authori ties are hopeful that the time is not {far distant when every member of the | ordnance branch assignment group may be given the opportunity to en- roll in one of these basic courses.

The instruction at Rock Island and Aberdeen will be similar in so far as existing facilities permit. At the lat- ter place, the course of study will deal mainly with the material from the standpoint of construction and test. Due to the fact that Rock Island does not provide ample facilities for testing the various types of material, the in- struction at the Illinois camp will con- ist largely of construction and man- ufacture. The following subjects will be included in the course of instruc: tion at Aberdeen: Anti-aircraft artil- lery, trench warfare material, sea- coast artillery, fire control instru- ments, artillery ammunition, estab- lishment of charge, small arms, small arms ammunition, velocity curves, automotive equipment, pressure, trac tors, fleld service activities, tanks, motor carriage artillery and bombs and bombing.

The meeting will be in charge of Col. Edward G. Seibert, Medical Reserves, and Maj. J. J. Madigan, Medical Corps. A perusal of the report of opera tions for the month of April for the Organized Reserve headquarters in Washington, of which Lieut. Col John Scott, Infantry, is the exccutive officer, shows that a serious personnel shortage exists at these headquarters and in view of its being located at the seat of the Nation's Capital and its constantly growing importance as a reserve center, that serious consider ation should be given to relieve the | already congested situation. A total of 8§48 reserve officers attended the 16 instruction assemblies held during the . month; embracing 10 different arms or branches. or an average at- tendance of 53. This headquarters is in charge uf the administration. in struction,dnd the records of 2,430 re. serve officers, and if Army Regula tions 135:10. paragraph .88 and para graph 73 (a)—4; were carried out, an appropriate assignment 1o.the Wash ington headquarters woyld be 9 offt cers and 16 enlisted men. At the present tiffie oply Col. Seott and Capt James B.

They are assisted by two en listed mem of the regular establish ment Under’ the corps area’ mobilization plan. five regiments are allocated to the District of Columbia. They are fas follows: Three Hundred and Twen- tieth Infantry, 313th Fleld Artillery, 486th~Artillery. 243d Engineers and the 428th Infantry. Besides this. 37 additional smaller units come under the administration and instruction of the Washington headquarters, which are equivalent to at least five addi- tional regiments.

Irvine, Corps of | Engineers, all z they are of little dependable- assist- ance in the routine operation of this headquarters,, which is steadily grow ing in_proportions all the time. For the officient functioning of the re- serve and the Citizens’ Military Train- ing Camp headquarters in Washing: ton five full-time officers and six en- listed men are necessary, particularly that of the enlisted personnel. In ad- dition to the regular routine dutles which must be performed at head- quarters, such as tracing officers, in- dorsements, filing system, etc., it is conservatively estimated that between 5,000 and 6,000 pieces of mail. all hand-addressed, are sent out every month. Two officers, both students at the Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, Kans.. are under orders to report to Col. Scott on July 1, after they have com- pleted their courses of instruction. They are Majs. A. J. Tucker, Infan- try, and C. P. George, Field Artillery. To further complicate the situation, Col. Scott is under orders to report the latter part of this month to Walter Reed General Hospital to undergo an | operation, and he will be absent from his desk at headquarters, in the Gra ham Building, for a _month or six weeks. The arrival of Majs. Tucker and George in Washington will great 1y relieve the situation, but the grow ing importance of this reserve center demands, it is pointed out by Col. Scatt, that adequate personnel be as- signed to the headquarters in order to keep pace with the constantly in- creased enrollment of the Organized Reserves in Washington SPANISH WAR VETERANS At the meeting of Richard J. Harden Camp, William E. Rink, chairman of the decorating committee, spoke of the work view for Me- morial day and requested volunteers for May 28 and 20 in preparation for last in diers, sailors and marines. The mat- ter was taken up as to the policy of purchasing -wreaths for the graves of Lieut. Richard J. Harden and Bucky O'Neill and the recommendation was made that the previous custorns be followed.

How They Should Be Adjusted for Use in Wet Weather. In wet weather there should be iess brake band clearnace so that there will be less possibility of the brakes be coming water-logged. If you cannot adjust the bands without sacrificing equalization the next best thing is to take up on the turnbuckles or the foot pedal position so that as much lever age as possible can be obtained when using the brakes. In other words, if the bands can't be made tight enough to keep out the water at least see that the brakes are efficient enough so that the water can be quickl squeezed out when you want to stop. This rule applies as well to hydraulic four-wheel brakes. Bands for four- wheel brakes are usually adjusted for greater clearance than for the two. wheel variety, but te drive out the night, street Astor 1 Penn Pythian Temple, 1012 northwest; Col.

A Saving of $36,000,000 According to the most conservative calculation, American motorists pay $36,000,000 a year for chassis lubrication. And that sum represents but a fraction of the saving that motorists would enjoy if all cars were, like the Cleveland Six, equipped with the “One-Shot” Lubrication System (Licensed under Bowen Products Co. patents) This exclusive, high pressure system does more than eliminate the actual cost of having a garage or service station lubricate vital bearings. It eliminates the inconvenience of leaving the car to have it done or of doing the job yourself. It reduces service, maintenance, and depreciation costs. And it guarantees a properly functioning, smoothly operating car at all times. For you simply step on a plunger and every moving part is flushed with clean, live lubricant.
