District Nat High commendation for the results jobtained by the rifie team representing the National Guard of the District of Columbia at the recent national ,matches held at Camp Perry, Ohio, is fcontained in a letter received at local rigade headquar- rs from Maj. Gen| {Creed C. Hammond ichief of the Militic| § Bureau of the Warl §Department, ancjh made public by {Lieut. Col. F. H Smith, U. S. Army adjutant general of the District of Col-| umbia Militia. Hammond uccess attained| the local team 43 due mainly to thefi Righ s 5 lhe m nstruction. Al-ygy Gen. Hammond. though no names are mentioned in the letter, those in close touch with local Guard affairs| point out that this throws a large part | of the credit for the success of the team on Capt. Just C. Jensen, chiel of the ordinance department of the local Guard and captain of the team which brought home the famous Hilton trophy, awarded to the team outside of the regular establishments which mudv the highest score. t. Jensen spent many months in ction of the team which went rry last Summer, and instead of g his men at random he kept a close check on the scores of all men who fired on the range at any time during the year at Congress Heights, and those whose high scores were con= sistently made were selected for try- outs, and if these proved satisfactory they were selected for the team. “Permit me to extend to the mem- bers of the District of Columbia Na- tional Guard Rifle Team,” says Gen. Hammond in his letter, “my sincere congratulations for the remarkable rec- ord it established during the 1928 na- tional matches. With a determination born of the will to win, the District of Columbia National Guard Rifle Team, by winning first place among all other teams except those from the regular services, earned a success worthy of the highest commendation. “I am sure the success achieved is €ue mainly to the high standard of the marksmanship instruction in the Dis- trict of Columbia National Guard, and the marked degree of interest its excel- lence creates among the men of the organization. Work such as that ac- complished by the District of Colum- bia Rifle Team is indicative of the most careful selection of the team per- sonnel, which, so I am informed, ex- tends over the entire target year. The success of your team stamps this method of selection a complete suc- cess, and I trust it will be the means of crowning your future efforts with additional laurels. “I am sure the District of Columbia National Guard will not be eontent to west upon its present record, for your echievement will but serve to spur all other teams to greater efforts to emu- late your success. 'The honors gained have merely rendered your future task more diffitult by éstablishing a goa! ional Guard academy, accepting the offer of a match. Capt.

The contents of the Register, it is said, will be the same as that of last year, with the addition to the pub- lication of such of the approved his- tories of National Guard organizations as will be Pmcuc:ble to complete. The histories of all color-bearing organiza- tions eventually will be made a part of the Register. The present Officers’ Re- serve Corps status of each officer whose name appears in the Register has been checked against the Militia Bureau file containing the data, and this, it was continued, will assure the correct status in each case being shown. Officers of the local Guard look with much favor on the recommendation of the chief of the Militia Bureau, Maj. Gen. Creed C. Hammond, to assemble at the annual encampments in the Summer whole divisions of troops, and particularly those divisions which are scattered through several States. Ef- forts to get the whole of the 29th Na- tional Guard Division in the field have been encouraged for some time. This organization is composed of the militia of this city and of the States of Maryland and Virginia. Since its organization it has never been as- sembled. The main problem which confronts those considering such a mobilization, according to those familiar with mili- tary affairs, is the selection of & camp site which could take care of a whole division. _The Virginia State Camp at Virginia Beach is not large enough for such a body of troops, and neither is the Maryland State Camp at Cascade, Md., although it is planed to develop it Into a divisional camp, it is under- stood. Should such a mobilization be or- dered, either next Summer or the fol- lowing year, it is believed that it will be conducted at one of the big Army posts developed during the war, such as Fort Leonard Wood, formerly known as Camp Meade, Md. A whole division of troops, it was pointed out, could easily be handled there for a period of two weeks, and aside from the large amount of ground necessary merely for the camping of the troops, there would be plenty of territory within the post in which to conduct the maneuvers in- cident to such a mobilization. Still Time to Plant. If you have delayed doing so, there is still time to plant iris and peonies, tulips, narcissus and other Spring-flow- ering bulbs, says the Nature Magazine. Good-sized, thrifty clumps of perennials can still be planted safely in early No- vember in the perennial border, espe- olally if it be well drained and in the rock garden. o 1 Want to Sell 4109 Leland Street Chevy Chase, Md. 1 Will Be On Premises From 2 to 6 P.M.
