ARMY OFFICER
 CUT MILITIA
House Proposal Would Lead to Smaller Force of Guards men, General Richards Tells Senate Committee
 on Appropriations
By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Eig- orous protest against the size of House appropriations for the na- tional guard and reserve officers training camps have been received by the Senate appropriations com mittee revising the war department bill.
 Maj. Gen. George C. Richards, chief of the militia bureau, has in formed the Senate committee that the House appropriations, instead of providing for expansion of the national guard, would result in a real reaction of strength.
 Referring to the House commit tees statement that the appropria- tion was designed to enlarge the national guard to 213,00o men, Gen eral Richards said the money pro- ylded by the House would make it impossible" to increase the guard, and, on the contrary, would result in "serious decrease in eff ciency."
 Says Cut Outrageous
 The reserve officers training asso- citation of Ohio has informed the Senate committee that the House pro vision for the reserve officers train ing corps constituted courageous and utterly unjustifiable treat ment" The House voted Sl,105, 900 for the training corps and the asso- citation estimated s5,670,0o0 was ne- cessary.
 General Richards has informed sen ators that with. the funds allotted 1t would be impossible, to epare the guard for field service or to pro- vide for four-day schools of instruc- ti6ns for officers, on-commissioned officers and selected privates. State rifle competitions also would be pre- oluded, lie said, and 1t would be doubtful whether national guard teams could be sent 10 national rifle matches.

 Before the subcommittee of the Senate appropriations committee. Gen. Harry Taylor of the corps of engineers gave testimony as to the necessity of the appropriation and authorization for the completion of the Wilson dam contained in the bill as it passed the House. While Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, for many years an opponent of Muscle Shoals, sharply questioned the wit ness, there was no evidence that even he would oppose the provisions of the House bill.

Ereezind EYEGLASSES.

Since optical glasses cannot be cut
unless they are fixed in an immovable
position, it has been the practice to
glue them to iron frames of various
sizes and shapes. Until a few years
ago the plates of glass, when finished,
were knocked off the frame by means
of light mallet, the blow being de-
livered cautiously upon the edges of
the plates. Naturally enough, this
was delicate and dangerous bit of
work, and unless performed by the
most expert of workmen resulted, of
course, in the injury of the lens.
But the discovery was made that the
blocks of crystal separated more read
lily when they had been exposed to a
certain degree of cold. The result has
been what might be called revolu-
tion in the making Of special glasses.

INFORMATION DEPARTMENT
Silver Purchase Halted by Governments

ashingtOn.-Director Scobey Of
the mint has closed the treasury books
to all offers of silver for purchase by
the government, and, it was officially
stated, no further tenders are likely
to be accepted for two or three years
Actual treasury purchases of silver
ended June /, when offers estimated
at two hundred million ounces had
been received under the Pittman act,
Since the offers all were on the basis
of estimates, Mr.. Scobey had no way
of ascertaining definitely whether the
amount required by the law would be
entirely filled. Consequently he has
continued to receive and file offers.
The two hundred million ounces pur-
chased is to replace that loaned by
the treasury to Great Britain for use
in India during the war. When that
bullion is again in its vaults, the gov
ernment will be out of the silver mar
ket. Officials believe the treasury
will have no further need for addition
al stocks for several years.
