Capt. Anderson. the local engineer
regiment is expected to develop into
one of the best in the militia Of the
country.
They will be taught how to use ma
terials at hand, although they are not
what the specifications call for, and
how to build the materials needed so
as to conform to- specifications for
bridge building, etc. Methods of

that they will bear the heavy
traffic of an army in the field; after
having ascertained the strength of a
structure, whether 1t needs repair or
reinforcement. But they will learn
little about economy, for one of the
lessons to be stressed is the fact that
In war 1t is not the saving of money,
but the getting of the job done in time
to serve its military purpose that
counts.
BY the time the entire schedule of
lectures is gone through, the men will
have a great fund of information on
the interesting duties and work Of the
engineers in the field and at the same
time will have had short periods of
drills as infantry, enough to keep up
their efficiency. but not enough to
make the job monotonous.
The close and extended order drill
work will have to be cut short this
year any way. because of the lack of
drill hall for the troops. Inclement
weather will prevent them many times
from drilling on the public street, but
they may be crowded into their COM
oany rooms and given some of the in
terestlng instruction which Capt. An
derson has mapped out for them.
Efforts still are being continued to
find an armory for the guardsmen, or
to have some one build one especially
for the Guard at a rental allowed by
Congress. But. it Is pointed out,
the rental allowance Is not sufficient
to get any one interested at present
property values. 1t is believed that
strong efforts will be made at the COM
ing session of Congress to have Ine
rental allowance increased, but the
principal drive will be made in favor
of obtaining the construction of a
public armory for the Guard.
If there is a public buildings bill
for the Capital introduced at the COM
ing session efforts will be made to
have provision made in it for an
armory. Such an armory at Gov
ernment expense. it was pointed out

of the bobbed hair fad is the revival

The rifle team of the National
Guard of the District of Columbia is
going out to defeat the rifle team of
the midshipmen of the United States
Naval Academy at Annapolis this
year. The local Guard each year has
fought on the range with the Academy
team. and some of the finest rifle
competitions of the country have been
put on in past years between these
two teams. Despite the fact that
the members of the local team are
civilians and cannot obtain the prac-
tice of the regulars, nevertheless they
have put up some stiff contests. Under
the heavy training schedule laid down
by Lieut.. Jensen, head of the local
team this year, it is expected that
it will be hard to beat, and much of
the training to be done during the
Winter is with the idea of defeating
the Annapolis team.
Col. Lloyd M. Brett, adjutant gen.
eral of the local Guard, has written
letter to the manager of the Naval
Academy rifle team seeking a match
this year.
che District of Columbia National
Guard is desirous of scheduling a
rifle match with a team representing
the Naval Academy in the Spring of
1926" he wrote. Practically any
date suitable to the Naval Academy
authorities will be suitable to the Ma
tional Guard of the District Of Colum-
bia. 1t is believed that the match
should be the same as the national
match, or modified as may be neces-
Sary. 1t will be very glad to hear
