The order of the transfer of the various units has been outlined. The Headquarters Detachment, 29th Division, will be the first to be trans- ferred to the new quarters, followed in turn by the 28th Division Military Po- lice Company, the Headquatters and Service Company, 121st Engineers, 2d Battalion, and finally the 1st Battalion of the same regiment. It was pointed out by Lieut. Col. F. H. Smith, adjutant general, that as some repairing and remodeling must be done before the troops take up their duty in the building it was considered more desirable to do the work prior to the removal of the property. As soon as repairing is done, the unit commanders be instructed to have the troops re- move their equipment from the lockers, and these will be transported during the daytime and later set up in the struc- ture. Then, on the first drill night, fol- lowing completion of this the ti will report at the old armory, and will take their own equipment to the building and place it in the lockers. In this way, it was added, company commanders may km a closer check on property for which they are responsible than would be possible if the moving was let by bulk contract. Owing to the fact of the repairs, it was not certain Jast week just when the troops would be in the hotel structure. But officials indicated that they will be sent as quickly as it is possible to get them there. The annual inspection pe- riod is approaching, and it is the desire that everything be shipshape before the Regular Army inspectors arrive on the scene to put the troops and their armory through the annual examination. In connection with the irs, Capt. Just C. Jensen, Ordnance Department, Guard, has been instructed to prepare estimates for the remodelling of one of the large rooms in the building for use as an indoor rifle gallery. During the ‘Winter months the troops are given con- siderable work in indoor rifle shooting, d the provision of such a gallery is | considered of much importan | ever, it was said that this will not delay | the movement of the troops to the new quarters. Just how long the Guard will be al- lowed to remain in the newly assigned | quarters is as uncertain as the provision of a permanent armory for the local troops. The hotel building is on a site which is eventually to become part of | the municipal center, and ‘it was only | because it has already been acquired for this purpose by thie Government that it was allocated to the - District Guard, | which faced eviction from its present quarters because the buflding is to be razed to make way for the improvement of the land as a part of the Capitol grounds. It was said at the brigade head- quarters that no one from the Natioi Capital Park and Planning Commission has called on any of the militia officials here in regard to plans for a new and permanent armory. The commission re- cently announced that such a commit- tee had been appointed, following an unfavorable recommendation on the bill, now in ess, which Bowm:s Congr .| would authorize the acquisition of the “/ashington Auditorium and its remod- eling for use as a permanent armory for the local militia. Martin L. Green, private, first class, in Company E, 121st Engineers, has ap- plied to brigade headquarters for per- mission to attend one of the Citizens Military Training Camps this Summer. Quite a few of the members of the Guard avail themselves of these camps during the Summer for the purpose of increasing their military training, but before they can go it is necessary to obtain authority from the organizations of which they are members, and they must go at a time which does not con- flict with the annual encampment period of their respective units in the Guard. A summary of the rifle and pistol practice of the 121st Engineers during the year ended December 31 last has been compiled and just made public at brigade headquarters. For pistol prac- tice the figures showed that Company E stood highest. with an average score of 93.69, with Company C a close sec- ond, with an average score of 93. The Headquarters and Service Company had an average of 87; Company A, 15: Company B, 34.44; Company D, 71.33. with Company F, none fired. In the rifle practice Company D was high company, with a score 209.72; Company C, 195.2; Company E, 194.34; Company A, 163; Headquarters and Service Company, 157; 81.34, and Company F, 61.18. Only individuals of three companies fired the automatic rifle, and “ompany D also stood high in that group, with an average of 397; Company E, second, with a score of 377, and Company. B, score of 177.5. ‘The report shows that 72.15 per cent of the men qualified with the pistol. 50.34 per cent with the rifle and 83.33 with the automatic rifle. There were 440 men on the rolls required to take the rifle course, of which number 152 were excused from firing, 143 completed the course, but did not qualify, while 288 completed the course.

The supply of steel cots from surplus stock has resulted in economy in the maintenance of canvas cots, these are kept intact in armories where steel cots have been made avail- able for use at Summer camps. Economy has resulted also in the saving of trans- portation cost of canvas cots from armories to training camps and return each year. . .. The policy of utilizing odd sizes of uniform clothing, which were available as a free issue was continued during the fiscal year, 1929, resulting in consider- able economy. The fullest use possible is | made of funds allotted for local repair and renovation of uniform clothing, thus extending the life of uniforms to the limit of their utility. ‘The policy of storing tentage, vehicles and other camp equippage hi been —You cannot turn out fine, delicate work if your eyes are not functioning prop- erly.
