PUT KIBOSHON - ARMY PINK TEA American Legion Approves Wadsworth Bill BY GEORGE B. WATERS WASHINGTON, D. C, Fed, 6.— During the war there was much talk about army officers swarming to the national capital. There was talk about pink teas in the after noons at the Willard and of the dress parades on Pennsylvania ave. and F° st. Congressman Cannon sar castically remarked that they wore spurs to keep their feet from sliding off the mahogany desks ‘The Wadsworth bill for the reor- ganization of the army, now pend. ing, contains an echo of those fight- ing days. It says: “Unless the president that an emergency exists which re: | quires otherwise, no officer assigned to or commissioned in the infantry, cavalry, field artillery, coast arti! lery corps, corps of engineers, signal corps, or the air corps ehall be| placed on duty fn the District of Columbia or the headquarters cf any territorial department, except with troops stationed thereat, for a period of more than three months, unless the preceding seven years he shall have actually served two years on duty with a troop, company, bat: | tery, battalion, squadron, regiment, brigade, division, army corpse or army or other corresponding organ- ization or with the training forces.” A proviso is that this shall not prevent an officer being placed on duty at any of the several service schools, This t# the bill approved by the American Legion. declares is what the friendly American tt on has done to France and that ‘why the shopkeeper, the worker, clerk and his sweetheart shrug shoulders when things go For Year-in and Year-out Satisfaction: The Ohio Range LWAYS dependable, because it produces such sults in cooking and baking, the Ohio Range is an important factor in good housekeeping. There is no waste of time or fuel with this range, for it does its work immediately after the fire is started. In eight minutes fire, the oven is at baking heat. In fifteen minutes, there is an abundance of hot water. The reasons for the Ohio’s superiority may be investigated any day, in the Stove Section, DOWNSTAIRS STORE.
