They’ll not come dur- ing the day, because they’ll know you aren’t at home and that Nance wouldn’l answer that bell anyhow. But tonight, one of them will ring the front door-| and shove the search warrant un your nose and step inside. The other will, in the meantime, have gone around to your back door to prevent the girl's escape in that direction. There’s a cement floor around your kitchen door, is there not?” “Yes.

By the way, have Nunce- toss ‘one electric light bulb down first, and then follow with two tear bombs—here, I'll make a mark with my pencil on the tear bombs.

If the one in back cries out, the one in front will figure he has been shot and will run to the back door to help him. As he opens the back door his pal will grab him. You must follow at his heels and shut and bolt the door instantly, or youll get yours, too. There will be a momentary struggle between Flynn and Angelloti in the dark, because the front door man will think he has the scoundrel that hurled the bombs; and by . the time they discover each other's identity, the front door man will be as s\;lmeu and il as the back door man. “Nance, & word to you now.” “My name is Penelope Gatlin, Ddn “My error.

Although considerably cramped by the small amount of space in the armory and handicapped by the fact that much of the equipment requires a {large amount of room, nevertheless the shipkeeper’s gang, under the dir.C"D! of Chief Boatswain’s Mate Slattery, is making the installations in the best way possible. However, it was pointed out that the commanding officer of the battalion always recelved six weeks' 2 | prior notice of the exact date on which the inspection board will arrive. While the organization will be equip- ped with material for carrying out the various drills, it is possible that the destroyer Hamilton, assigned to this area for training purposes, may be here at any time. However, it was learned last week that the vessel, prior to start- ing its Naval Reserve duty, will be en- gaged in experimental work in the lower Chesapeake Bay. The nature of these tests could not be learned, but it was understood that they will mvolve equi ment, for the materiel bureaus of the Navy Department. This destroyer is to divide its time between the local or- ganization and other Reserve units in the 5th Naval District Area, particu- larly those in the vicinity of Hampton Roads, but not including the Baltimore Reserve, which still has the Eagle No. for training purposes. When ‘the vessel arrives here, it is said, the officers and men will make the i best of the ship for training purposes, and it was indicated that the later she arrives the more benefit the local Re- servists will get out of her, because of the fact that they cannot use it for drill purposes during the ‘severe Winter nights, but can make considerable use of her in the Spring. The Hamilton is a part of the newly organized Atlantic Training Squadron of the Nayy and during the Summer months this vessel, with others in the squadron, will be used for the purpose of taking the citizen sailors on their annual tours of sea duty for training. The Inspeciion Board has, however, started its arnual inspections in other parts of the country. The Navy De- partment announced that the board is composed of Capt. C. A. Blakely and Comdr. C. C. Slayton from the Navy Department. While inspecting in the sixth naval district it will be assisted by Lieut. C. R. Price, attached to the headquarters of that district, and while in the eighth naval district will be aided by _Lieut. W. F. Riggs, jr., of that area. Three inspections, Atlanta, Ga.; Bir- mingham, Ala, and New Orleans, La., were conducted last week, it was an- ‘mounced. Lieut, H. F. Dobbs is in com- mand of the 1st Battalion at Aumu. and the following officers command divisions of the 15t Battalion: Head- quarters Division, Lieut. H. F. Dobbs; ist Division, Lieut. W. C.

Naval Reserve officers-from all parts of the country are expected to be in at- tendance, although it was said to be gel‘ob&ble that the attendance might M as large this year as in the the éfficers will e to bear their expenses. Heretofore, many of the offi- cers attending the convention have been Reserve officers who were serving indefi- nite periods of active duty with their organizations and the Navy Department brought them here at the e: of the Government, not for the convention, but for an annual conference for the purpose of threshing out, first hand, t in the affairs of the Sroless of the convention this year, fiz'tm mmy il be many. nu.i problems to be considered. m and the convention usually closes with an annual banquet attended by promi- nent officers of the l(lvy and officials at the Navy Department It was hl.mod luwarmunly this week that the annual conference of Reserve officers on active duty 'wld not be held this year. Scofield, former head of the M- serve battalion, and now on active duty partm reau felt that these conferences have been held annually for several years in the past and that controversial sub- Jects which were born out of the new Naval Reserve act had been pretty well threshed out, and this, together with the fact that .'.her;'cw':l lu;;githoe-;n- n el cai e de- e o ahand - the, cntererion: (hia year.

Lieut. Col. John 8.

The Army officer’ assigned here as adjutant general is given a commluion in the local Guard as a lieutenant col- onel to provide him with the necessary authority over the Militia. Maj. Walter W. Burns, commanding the 260th Coast Artillery, went to Fort Monrge, Va. last week, where he re- ported for duty at the Coast Artillery School there as a student of the special field officers’ course, which will end on February 28. Upon completion of the course, Maj. Burns will return to Wash- ington. National Guard officers throughout the country are being appealed to by Brig. .Gen. Dudley J: Hard, president of the National Guard Assoctation of - the United States, to use their influence toward securing the passage at the cur- rent session of Congress of the new National Guard bill. “After years of study and discussion,” said a letter received by the local brig- ade hendquarwrs from tne association president, “the National Guard “bill, knewn as the ‘Speaks Bill, H. R. 12918, received the unanimous ndorsement of Guard at its annual convention in Los Angeles in 1929. This indorsement ‘was reaffirmed at its recent conventlon held at Boston. Its passage is greatest importance to the Gu M an to the couhtry. The Guard is a vol\m- tary organization and takes pride in that fact. This bill proposes to make the Guard a reserve component of lhe Army of the United States, so that in event of a major emergency to be. de- clared by the Congress, it can be im- mediately effective as such without the delay incident to draft, its State status and State control being strictly pre- served and unimpaired, except during the period, of such emergency. The bill also provides that upon the termination of the emergency the Guard will be re- stored intact to its State status without the disastrous results incident .to de- mobilization, such have heretofore oceurred under the present law. “The Guard has, therefore, volun- tarily and unanimously ‘offered, in ef- | | fect, to waive the necessity of draft leg- islation and to make itself ready for | ‘immediate * service. It ,is imperatively necessary for thosé concerned in estab- lishing a safe defense for our country that Congress should accept this offer. The bill adds no expense to the present ent. < ‘This, bill,” he continues, *“was fa- -out. of committee on . nd wil be piaced on the | thalqslnn, ¢ Guard fionolv mavmudsummmummnu- :fln !fllfl'llll h'o lom w?s‘.’."‘ 7By 148t M- llryduv mnum:.um Joseph R. from the reserve Battery B, Iwfll Coast Ar- Martin illery: Privates Bray, jr.; Jomh Furr and.Lester C.
