It is expected that the board this year will give considerable attention to'the matter of the fitness of reservists to efficiently perform their duties aboard ship. Last year it found that while many of the organizations had reached a satisfactory degree in their strictly military training, they bad made little progress otherwise. t also found there progress along mobilization lines, and at the time expressed the bellef that this was due to deadwood in the ioned personnel and higher poor class room in- struction, as well as to poor equipment and drill faeilities. | Increased participation by Reserve | organizations in the civic functions of | the l:t‘ll'n.lrnull";hi’.l-l urged by the inspec- | tion board. , it was pointed out, ! serves to awaken the spirit and in- terest of the communities, and it has found as s matter of experience that many fleet divisions which have strong community are usually above the average in icy and have high morale. ‘The VMSR Squadron, the local air branch of the Reserve, will undergo its snnual inspection before a board of officers of the Navy Department on May 17, it was announced st the local battalion headquarters. The inspec- tion will be held at the Naval Air Sta- tion at Anacostia, where the organiza- $ion has its flying equipment. James Oallan, chief gunner's mate, id Willlam G.

These units are apecially trained, it was announced, and ‘for this purpose high-frequency broadeasting sets have been installed at advantageous points, and at designated times code messages of instruction are sent out and are received by the mem- bers of the various units. Also, specialists in certain branches of medicine have been organized on the same basis into hospital units, for mo- bilization as units, both on hospital ships and at shore hospitals.

Fifty aviation officers were maintained on training duty with ves- sels of the flieet throughout the year. American Gold Star Mothers The War Department has practically completed details for the pilgrimage to Furope of American Gold Star Mothers and widows of World War veterans burled overseas, and the first delegation will sail from New York on May 7 on the 8, S. America for France, carrying widows and mothers from the State of Nebraska. The priority of States was determined recently in a drawing by Mrs. Herbert Hoover. This movement was sponsored by the American Legion and the plans as worked out by the War Department, according to local legion officials, are in such minute detail that each Gold Star Mother or widow will be able to tell in advance | how and where her time will be spent on the entire trip. The only thing each mother or widow will have to do for herself is to secure the necessary passport and this has been made as simple a procedure as possible. Transportation and ex- pense money from their homes to New York will be sent to them in advance. On arriving at New York they will be met by Army officers and escorted to a hotel where reservations have been made. The stay in New York will be from 24 to 48 ‘hours.

The first day in Paris will be devoted to ruuu’. on the second day the women of each party will place a wreath on the tomb of the French Unknown Soldier and attend a reception in which the French ‘war mothers, government officials and prh:m'm.:z cwult.z:l;‘ :‘1’1‘" pmu:sp-zfx.‘ On 1] ird morn! e groups g to the different cemeteries 'fl!o leave Paris, traveling in motor busses, and proceed to the cemeteries, where they will remain about seven days. Twenty- five women will be detailed to each bus and an Army officer will have charge of the bus. The itineraries to and from the cemeteries and the dally itineraries while at the cemeteries have been varied so as to take in points of historical interest as well as some parts of the battleflelds where American troops were engaged. Upon return to Paris, each party will remain for about five days, and during this time an op- portunity will be given to see the points of historical interest in Paris and vicinity. The entire duration of the stay in Europe will be 14 days. Upon return to the United States each ship will be met in New York by Army officers, who will escort the mothers and widows to the trains which will take them home. Before leaving New York each will be provided with her return railroad ticket, a sleeping car ticket and enough funds to cover cost of other traveling expenses home. — ‘The superstitution that it is unlucky to comb your hair at night is another of the old beliefs that have come down rom our early ancestors. The point then was that any hair scattered by the use of the rough combs of those days mlgl'lz have acted as a scent to prowling The Real Test of a REFRIGERATOR 45 Degrees Inside 120 Degrees Outside Come in and See How FRIGIDAIRE Penn.
