In the evening a special drill is held for the purpose of showing visitors the advantages of the Naval Reserve serv- fce. and it is probable that this year it will be followed by a dance.

However, one of the difficulties facing the local battalion in putting on a large show is the inadequate armory at the Washington yard. which is an old store, around which, on two sides, has been built a lean-to, which is used for a orill space. However, this is not large enough for the battalion in full forma- tion, to say nothing of the utter lack of space for visitors to the organization. B Stores Film Pedestrians.

Assistants hand to each promising-looking person coming within range of the camera a numbered card giving the address of the store and the time after which copies of the victure just taken may be ob- tained. The store sells pieces of the strip containing three pictures for the equivalent of 25 cents. = PYRENEES SPANNED BY STEAM ENGINE IFirst Railroad Across Pic- Ordered o meiive oty aeshiprespers | turesque Country Has Been Opened.
