Hinkamp, commander of the Wyoming, in his report to the 1st Fleet Division of the local bat- | talion, which is indicative of the vari- ous reports on the other divisions, said: “This division was well organized | and well instructed prior to arrival on board ship. The engineers’ force was particularly well trained, especially the officers and rated men.” Com- menting further on the activities of the battalion aboard his ship. Capt.

In ad- | dition to this, I would suggest the vital | importance of keeping the personnsl at sufficient strength to man our ships adequately.’ “Informative literature for use in preparing Navy day articles or ad- dresses should be furnished by the district commandants upon request.” The local Reservists do not have a real training ship which they can show off during the Navy day activities.

Hinkamp: “I want to thank the officers and men of the U. §. 5. Wyoming, through you, for the many courtesies and con- siderations shown the Washington Na- val Reserve Battalion during our re- cent annual cruise. I would be re- miss if I failed to mention our ap- preciation of the thoroughness of the preparations made to take care of us while on board. It was indicative of a full understanding of the problems involved. We learned considerable and we had a fine time doing it. It was & splendid cruise. “It was a real pleasure to have served you even for so short a period and I hope that we will be fortunate enough to cruise with you again.” In addition to getting right down to the drills and preparations for the annual inspection, the organization also is making preparations for Navy day next month. In connection with the Navy day preparations, which have not yet taken definite shape here so far as the Re- serve is concerned, the locgl Reserve headquarters received a letter from the chief of the Bureau of Navigation of the Navy Department. “The following,” said the letter. “is quoted from a letter to the bureau from Mr. Nelson Macy, national chair- man for Navy day: “°I have the honor to request that the United States Nava! Reserves ex- tend the same hearty and helpful co- operation in the annual observance of Navy day, which will be celebrated on Monday, October 28, due to the fact that the 27th falls on Sunday.’ “In bringing this matter to the at- tention of the several commandants, the bureau realizes the valuable as- sistance rendered by various Naval Reservists last year and during pre- vious years, and is appreciative of ef- forts put forth in this direction and the results obtained. day home, —————————— Willard Hotel. 2 p.m.; regular meeting October 7; card party October 9, 8 p.m., Irene Steinbraker, hostess, 5045 Conduit road.

The Home Board will meet Octo- ber 15 at the home of Mrs. Sara Brown, East Falls Church, Va., with Mrs. Elisabeth Barker as assisting surprise birthday party at her home last night. ' Card party October 3, \ ful that by next year the department will be able to send a vessel here on which the Reservists can hold thei weekly drills. and which they use fo: week end cruises down the Potomac. While they make the fullest use of the launch. nevertheless it is too small even to accommodate the large nume ber of men who weekly apply for the cruises during the Summer, to which its activity has to be limited. It has to be hauled out of the water in the Winter ta protect it from the ice fore mations in the Anacostia River. Howe ever, a larger vessel such as a de- stroyer could be used the year around and even cruises could be made dur~ ing the week end periods. If such & |ship were again assigned here, the local citizen sailors could keep up their practical work which they learn during their annual cruises aboard vessels of the fleet. The local battalion formerly had & destroyer assigned here for its exclue sive use, but it was witadrawn during {the governmental retrenchment pee riod, because of the cost of maintes nance. In addition to the fuel, it ‘was necessary to keep a small skeleton crew on board. However, these men for the most part were made up of Reservists who were out of work and were assigned to indefinite active duty and thus helped to reduce unemploye ment in this city. Plans are being made by the local Naval Reserve Officers’ Association for a dinner to be given in honor of Lieut. Comdr. Mark H. Crouter, U. 5. N, aide to the commandant of the Washington Navy Yard onj Reserve matters, and instructor of the local battalion. It is to be given| early next month. The instructor was! recently promoted to the rank of leu; tenant commander. The fleet Reserve officers, the active' drilling contingent, and a number of volunteer Naval Reserve officers, now staying in Washington, are expected to attend this function. | The Naval Communications Reserve Division has been assigned the traine ing launch for a trip this week end. The launch left the Navy Yard about | 1:30 o'clock yesterday and, after | arichoring along the racecourse, where the men witnessed the President’s Cup regatta, it proceeded down the Po- tomac until dark, when it was anchored. It was the plan to use the day in seamanghip drills and to return to the Navy Yard early this afternoon. It was announced by Lieut. J. H., Nicholson, commander of the commu« | nications groups. that the “over the | air” drill last week was a great suce cess and the improvement shown by all hands was worthy of merit. The drill was said to be as stiff as any experienced by the local station and all units made as good a showing as the master and alternate stations. Unit 1 was reported as very lax in attendance, but made up for this deficiency in excellent operating, ace cording to Lieut. Nicholson. The Naval Communications Ree servists who made the cruise on the ‘Wyoming, according to present plans, will be used as instructors of the men who stayed at home. They will be inspected to impart some of the knowledge which they picked up while performing duty under service eone ditions in the Wyoming's radio shack, and also to tell how they learned to take care of their uniforms while aboard ship. Temple of Athens. One of the world's most beautiful butldings is the temple of Nike Apteros, Athens, erected in 438 B.C. to com- memorate the famous victories of Marathon, Plataea and Salamis. More than 2,000 years later, in the seven= | teenth century to be exact, the temple was destroyed by the Turks and the materials bullt into a battery. In the year 1836 the battery was destroyed, the materials of the temple recovered and the temple reconstructed, today picturesquely situated on the Acropolis hillside.
