C. Naval Reserve | Another reorganization of the officer | personnel of the 1st Battalion, United | States Naval Reserves of the District | of Columbia, is impending as a result |of the removal from the District of Lieut. Comdr. Finney Bascom Smith, commander of the organization. Comdr. Smith left the city last week for New | York to enter the employ of an air- | craft corporation, which, it was said, | will necessitate his relinquishing the command of the local organization. | Since he has been at the head it has | grown to be one of the most efficient | in the country. Both officers and men ‘ of the organization expressed much re- | gret over the departure of their com- | mander. | "'This 'is the second change in the | higher-rank personnel which has taken ‘ place within the last few months, Lieut. Comdr. Harry J. Nichols, former execu- | tive officer, having left the city to en- | ter the employ of the Westinghouse Corporation. Lieut. Samuel W. Stinemetz, who succeeded Comdr. Nichols as executive officer of the batttalion, now is acting commander. It was said that no selec- tion would be made for the commant until the receipt of the formal request | from Comdr. Smith for relief from |the command of the organization. | Lieut. Stinemetz is the senior line of- | ficer, with Lieut. Harold Richardson, | commanding the 1st Fleet Division, secont As_none of the new appointments has been decided upon, it cannot be said at this time what the selections will be, but if previous policy is fol- lowed, it is probable that Stinemetz will get the command and Richardson the executive billet. However, even if the commander is selected immediately, | it was indicated that there will not be any reorganization among the fleet di- | visions in order to promote one of the | division commanders to executive of- | ficer, until after the annual inspections |iary last Monday night. The auxillary | porore a board of officers from the | Navy Department. It was pointed out that to attempt to make changes in | the line organizations at this time | might seriously interfere with the divi- | ston officers’ plans of training in prepa- | gation for the inspection, and this is desirable when the battalion is | making a special effort to place itself | at the top of the list of Naval Reserve organizations of the country as a result of the annual tests. Comdr. Smith, it was said, probably would not sever his connections with the Reserve, but would ask for a trans- fer to the volunteer branch, which does Depart- | willlam M. | at Stanley Hall, United States Soldiers’ | Home. | The Col.

Sam- | uel W. Stinemetz, acting commander of the local Reserve battalion, to resume drills on the training ship, the U. 8. | Destroyer Abel P. Upshur, docked at | the Washington Navy Yard, the latter | part of the month. The ship drills were suspended of necessity during the Win- ter months, it was said, because of the | impracticability of drilling on the ves- sel in cold weather. The ship drills will | be kept up until the vessel starts her | regular series of annual cruises for the | training of the reservists. The final drill of the month, Lieut. Stinemetz says, wil be devoted to an | interdivisional ~ competition, during { | which the members of the divisions will | be put through seamanship and knot- | ting and splicing training, and will be | marked also on appearance and af tendance. It is expected by these pe- | riodie competitions to stir up a friendly | spirit of rivalry between the organiza- tlons with a view to bullding the out; fit as a whole up to a high state of efficiency prior to the annual inspec- tions.

Sage Tea Turns Gray Hair Dark By RUTH WAITE Every wnmzng with gray, faded or streaked haix is entitled to do something| ahout it, for it is every wom- an's birthright to retain her youthfulness and charm as long as she can.

So | perfectly does it do the work that its use is undetectable. You may either | prepare the mixture at home or buy it already prepared and ready to use. Wyeth's Sage & Sulphur is the name of the prepared article and it costs only 75¢ a bottle at durggists. Hence there’s no need of your both- ering to prepare the mixture your- self. You simply moisten a comb or |soft brush with it and draw it | through your h: one strand at a |time.

UNTIL you havetried Listerine Tooth Paste at 25¢ you will never know how simple and pleasant— and how economical—a dentifrice can be. Men and women tell us that little brushing is necessary; they say that its action seems almost automatic. Dis- colorations left by food and tobacco dis- appear at once. The superfine cleansing and polishing agents reach the crevices between the teeth and dislodge decaying particles of food. To the broad surfaces of the teeth they impart a flashing luster cleanse safely; being harder than tartar they remove it, and being softer than enamel are harmless to it. Yet this dentifrice costs you but 25¢ the large tube. And it is made by the makers of Listerine—proof enough for anybody, that its merit is beyond ques- tion. Such a paste at such a price is made possible by economical buying power, modern methods of manufacture, and mass production. More than a million people, having Listerine Tooth Paste is superior, have discarded costlier dentifrices that ac- complish no more. The saving that follows amounts to $3 a year per person. That saving becomes increasingly im- portant when the family is large. Don’t take our word for the merit of Listerine Tooth Paste. Get a tube today at your druggist’s and try it for a month. We predict that you will be so satisfied that you will not care to use any other. Lambert Pharmacal Company, St. Louis.
