 Officers of either the regulars, the guard or the national army are held to be equally eligible for temporary ap- pointment, or promotion, which must be "based solely on demonstrated fitness without regard to senority."
 The new regulations make officers in- Interchangeable within their own arms and grades in the service. and the list of reserve corps second lieutenants of the regular army is also made available for appointment of men in that grade to the other branches. Stress is laid upon the desirability of promoting men with in the unit in which a vacancy occurs where this is advisable.

The first thing I did was to get a good coach. so I went to Frank Lea Short, who is remarkably gifted. He has put on a number of classical things at Yale, Harvard and Prince ton, and he is a very versatile and talented man. I suppose had, all told, something like 12 or 15 lessons with, him, and that was all the training ever had for the stage; maybe it cost me $50, whereas on the other hand thou sands of dollars had been expended upon my voice, and all for nothing''

T recall so vivily how he lis- tened to me when I talked to him the first time; how he watched me, and how amused he looked. Finally he asked me to read something for him, and l selected one of Whitcomb Riley's little poems and read it, as I thought, with much success. When I finished, MT. Short said You certainly have all the southern mannerisms of speech and all the d-a-o-w-n south quality in your voice. indeed if anybody had asked me who was reading the Riley poem Just now, should have said if hadn't seen you. that it was a darkey" Of course I was furious. be- cause was proud of my accent and all my little southern mannerisms. so l said, Is that such a drawback?'
