D.C. Naval Reserye » With Navy day ceremonies out of the way, the United States Naval Reserve Baitalion of the District of Columbia is | settling down now for the hard train-| ing and drill: preparatory for the an-| nual inspections which will be held in | the not distant future. As a matter of fact, the Navy Department inspection Toard already has started its annual tonr of divisions and battalions in other dislnicts. An _intensive training and school prograrh has been mapped out by Lieut. Comdr. Mnney Bascom Smith, com- mander of the battalion, and Lieut. Comdr. Harry J. Nichols, executive officer, and the men will be kept hard at their tasks, in the hope of bringing wie local organization close to the top of the list of reserve battalions of the country when the final check-up is made after the first of the year. | The principal the organization now, tine drills and schocls, is the exami- nations. So many men had been rec- | ommended for promotion that the ex-| amining board found it impossible to examine all of them at one sitting at | the written examination, so the candi- dates were split in two groups. There were a total of 71 men who took the examination, 20 from the 1st Fleet Di- vision, 23 from the 2d Fleet Division and 28 from the 3d Fleet Division. The second group will be given their examinations tomorrow night. These tten examinations are in the mili- vy subjects, and upon completion of these, which the candidates said were | very stiff, each will be called individ- | ually before the board for the oral ex- | aminations to show their knowledge in | : particular branch in which are seeking promotion. It was s the officers that it would be impossible | to set a whole group down for these subjects, as there are so many ratings, | end an examination paper would have to be prepared for each man. While the taking of the written examinations | in military subjects will save consid: erable time, it will take several week: 1o give the oral examinations, as only a few men can be examined each drill night. The indoor rifle range at the bat- talion armory has been opened for the season, and to insure its full use in- structions have been issued by Comdr. Smith that two men from each divi- sion will be sent there for the purpose of firing on each drill night. The lim- itation on the number of men is made because of the small space available and | the desire to prevent the personnel from using the range as an excuse for not being present for other duties. — | First ald instruction is being made a | part of the training program of the battalion, because of the importance of having the men well versed in_this | subject. Particular attention is being | given at this time to the types of cases Which might present themselves aboard a ship which does not carry a surgeon in her regular complement. As the re- serves of this District would furnish destroyer crews in time of emergency, | it was pointed out, the importance of having the men so well informed on | this subject cannot be stressed too | much. Lieut. Kennedy, Medical Corps, conducts the demonstrations before the entire battalion: Another enlisted man of the local reserves has climbed into the commis- sioned ranks, Robert Sanders, who re- cently completed his advanced flight training at the United States Naval Air Station at Pensacola, Fla, has been promoted from seaman, second class, to ensign, aviation, and has been assigned to the reserve division at the Naval Air Station at Anacostia. Lieut. Thomas A. Lee, formerly com- manding the 19th Fleet Division of the United States Naval Reserve of Port- land, Me, having moved to 5832 Thirtieth street, this city, has been transferred to the local battalion. As there are no vacancies in the commis- sioned_personnel of the fleet reserve here, Lieut. Lee will have to remain on the unassigned list until one oc- curs. The drill schedule for the coming month provides for the taking of a large part of the training of the en- listed personnel aboard the destroyer Abel P. Upshur, training ship of the local reserve organization. The ves- sel. having completed her annuel cruising duty for training the reserves, ol —— sl |o[———|a[———c IARMSTRON CATOR CO. 12th & G Sts. (Entrance 1202 G St.) o] will be tied up for the Winter, it was said, and it is probable that she will not make any week end trips during the closed season. Whiie the men receive much valuable | experience by training on the ship, there | is considerable time lost in proceeding | from the armory, after assembly, to the ship, which is berthed far from the armory. It is for this reason that the officers.of the reserve are going to try to have an armory provided on the water front at some point where dock- age may be obtained for their training ship. No particular site is under con- sideration, but it is likely that if money is obtained for the provision of a build- ing for the local naval reserves that a site will be provided within or close to the navy yard, where the vessel may be rea available for the use of the re- ser Tentative plans have been |drawn for a structure especially suited | to the training of men in the Naval | Reserve, but they have not been finally | approved.

THE NEW GAS LIGHT GIVES PROMISE FOR FUTURE! | Cannot Be Blown Out and Is Not Touched by Flame, Says Professor. UNDAY By the Associated Press. NEW YORK.—How gas light—a new | kind that cannot be blown out and | that no flame touches—is coming back |as the future light of the home is de- | scribed by Prof. H. H. Sheldon, chair- | man of the department of physics of | New York University. These new lights are gasses, inclosed in airtight glass tubes, with no fila- | ments to break and no direct contact |of electric_current. | In the laboratory stage such lights | "exist already. For example, there is | & bulb filled with neon gas, which gives a brilliant red light when a high fre- quency electric current is passed around the bulb without anywhere | making contact. Development of this principle will make the light of the future, in Dr. Sheldon’s opinion. In some combination of gases, he | thinks, lies the solution of reproducing actual or very near to actual daylight. At present red is the only fully power- ful light produced by the gas tube. “LEST WE FORGET” November 11th, 1918...

UNIVERSITY FIND ‘i HONOR CODE WORKS System at Washington and Lee Es-| tablished by Confederate Army Chieftain. LEXINGTON, Va. (#).—Zmad Dio- genes visited Washington and Lee Uni- the confidence the student body has in their fellow men. A midnight lunch table, well stocked and bearing a card with schedules of prices, is maintained in a dormitory. In the morning the table is bare except for a cigar box of coins which the stu- dent owner collects. It is all profit, for there is no overhead. Barrels of apples and boxes of pea< nuts are likewise sold on the “help your- self” plans by students working their way through college. The owners re- port good profit with no losses at- tributed to theft. Foot ball badges worth $125 were sold during one game, and the money stood unattended in the crowd for many hours. An overcoat hung in a cloakroom for several months. Each day it was taken down, dusted and replaced. The owner would call for it one day. ‘This honor code was established at the school by Gen. Robert E. Lee when he became president in 1869. Under it students are left to themselves during examinations and can come and go at 1:'1‘1;. Cheating on examinations is un- wn. Burns Landmark Gone.
