RESERVE OFFICERS PLAN
TO FORM NEW REGIMENT
10th Infantry May Be Filled Up
To and Including Rank of Lieu
tenant Colonel.

Tentative plans for the formation
of the 40th United States Infantry by
local reserve officers were discussed
at a meeting held last night in the
Graham Building by local reserve in
fantry officers. The 40th Infantry
now an inactive regiment Of the Army
was formed on Defense day by local
reserve officers, and made q creditab
appearance.
The general staff Of the War Depart
ment is considering the plans and is
expected to make it's announcement
within the next few months. The
plan advanced so far is to have the
reserve officers fill the 40th Infantry
up to and including the grade Of
Lieutenant colonel, leaving the full
grade of colonel untitled. The parent
organization of this regiment Is the
18th United States Infantry. one bat
talon of which is stationed at Fort
washington, Md. In time of. emer-
gency, half of the personnel of the
18th would go to the 4Oth and half
of the 40th would be transferred to
the 18th. The senior lieutenant col
onel OF the 18th would probably be-
come the colonel of the 40th Infantry
This plan of having the reserve in
fantry officers form the inactive 10th
regiment opens up the question of
having other inactive units of the
Regular Army formed by reserve of
ficers, in addition to the scheduled
units of the Organized Reserves. If
the 40th is formed in Washington.
and all present indications making
to that end are favorable, it will be
the hrst such regiment to be so
formed,

COSMOPOLITAN CLUB
STAGES FEATURE DAY
Ladies' Night Entertainment Fol-
lows Regular Luncheon
Program.

Beginning with its usual luncheon,
the Cosmopolitan Club concluded an
elaborate program yesterday with its
first ladies' night of the season at
RauScher's.
One Of the principal reasons for
holding both affairs on the same day
was that Jeanne Paravano, the Span
ish movie actress and members Of
her company were present as guests
OF the club in the evening. The com
pany, under the direction Of Ringold
Hearst. gave a short scene from
Might Of Nights"
The program contained specially
arranged songs by DR.. J. Rozier
Biggs, chairman Of the entertain
ment committee. Jim Collifiower
was invested with the symbol Of his
office as past president Of the club
and a number of others were extolled
for their work in the organization.
Among those who were on the en-
Holtzciaw Gawler, soprano, accom-
panied by George H. Wilson, and
George O'Connor and Matt Horne
One OF the interesting features Of
the evening was a skit, "The Ladies'
Bobbed Hair Club" enacted by the
Ladies' Auxiliary of the Cosmopolitan
Club and staged by the assistance of
Nine. Du Four. Following the enter
tainment and banquet a dance was
held.
AT the luncheon two newspaper
men spoke, both members of the
club. William Murphy, "Cosmopoli-
tan of the Day, outlined his career
and told of the work of the National
Catholic News Service, to which he
belongs. This service, he stated
reaches 100000 people. Harry Hites
of the Post also spoke. Arrange
ments will be made for the club out
ing to Norfolk on December 6 by
Michael Heister.
The committee in charge of ladies'
night, were DR.. J. Rozier Biggs, chair
man; Bert Lennon, Milton Hopfen-
maier, Joe Fisher, Anton A. Auth,
George L. Wine, Sam Zirkin and Ed
Rule Paul f. Brandstedt, president
of the club, presided.

support for greater appropriations
for research work, and explained how
the bureau Of the budget was cutting
every recommendation for appropria-
tions. He pointed to England's ap-
preparation of S5,000,000 five years
ago for research work and of renew
ing the appropriation this year and
adding SO per cent and 40 per cent
more for education. If that country
in its financial condition can do this,
he expressed the belief that the rich
United States should certainly do as
much.
Fine Films Produced.
DR.. c. w Warburton, in charge of
extension work of the Department of
Agriculture. reviewed the operations
in his branch. He said that the De-
partment of Agriculture is the great
est producer of educational moving
pictures in the world, and explained
the care with which the scenarios
and films are prepared.
Addresses also were delivered by E.
NJ. Freeman of Wisconsin, Eugene
Davenport of Michigan and w. D.
Campbell of this city.
Following presentation of reports
of the executive committee and the
appointment Of standing committees,
the convention adjourned.

charged with an assault upon Bal
lard Hensley, 12-year-old son of Mrs.

at him with a horse shoe.
How badly did it hurt you?" the
court asked
Enough to make me cry" the boy
answered.
We'll, why did she strike you?"
Judge Mcmahon questioned
why, because her little boy, aged
S, struck my little brother. who is only

PAY TO RESEARCH
WORKER CRITICIZED
Retirement Law Provisions
Also Declared Defective for
! This Classification.

Lifting of the maximum limit of SAL
aries for research workers under the
reclassification bill is one of the prime
necessities for increasing the efficiency
of governmental research and scientific
work. DR.. L. d. Ball, director of re.
search OF the Department of Agricul-
ture. told the Association of Land grant
Colleges at the concluding session of its
thirty-eighth annual convention in the
New Willard Hotel today.
DR.. Ball asked aid of the colleges in
getting better salaries for the workers,
and outlined some of the difficulties Of
holding research workers and Of getting
good ones in the service. He said those
directing the research work are urging
better salaries for their employees While
he explained that better salaries do not
necessarily mean greater efficiency he
said that in the Department of Agri-
culture it had been found that with tn,
increase of salaries the efficiency of the
research work increased 80 per scent.
Salaries Ing Behind.
Salaries of workers here, he said, did
not keep pace with the increased cost
OF living in Washington during and
since the war and when there came a
doctors bill or dentists bill that could
not be paid research worker with this
on his mind was not in good position
10 DO his best. Increased salaries, he
added, enable the Government to keep
It's good men and to attract better men
than formerly to the service
He called reclassification one of the
greatest things ever done by any ma
t1on for its employees, but, he added.
there are several things in 1t that are
lhimlcal to the research workers, and
asked support in having them cor
rected. He said there was a limit ne
$4,000 which could be paid research
workers, whereas one in the admins
tratlVe branch could get $1,000 The
research worker, he pointed out, is
most certainly on a par with the ad-
ministrator
Congress, he said, had approved the
proposal in principal, and every effort
Is to be made to have the limitation
removed
Retirement Law Defects,
Another handicap to the research
worker, and a handicap to the Gov
erhment in obtaining the best mate
RAJ, Is found in the retirement law.
ne retirement salary is based on the
Clerlcal average he pointed out The
maximum is 1920 after 80 wears serv-
Ice. This. he believes, is not fair 70
the scientific worker, for they take
me same Percentage from his salary
MS tney DO from the clerk at sI4OO
year. There should be a retirement
scale based on the salary of rho em-
ploye. DR.. Ball said that the denart-
ulent, many times, had been prevented
from getting the best material be-
cause OF the retirement feature which
paced the scientific man on the same
pane with the clerical worker.
