The commandment Of the infantry
school recently sent an observer to
the uuarterrnaster school field
exercises. and as a result or this.
the commandment. has sent the FOL
lowing letter to the quartermaster
general:
"The infantry school derived a
very real benefit from participation
in and observation of these man
euvers. The spirit Of service to
the line, was exemplified at Its
best. Not only did the faculty of
the quartermaster corps school well
come ideas and suggestions as to
the infantry needs and problems,
but, without exception, they in
sistently sought information on
these subjects, and invariably
worked out the quartermaster sup
the fighting units, regardless of
the difficulties entailed. / am
convinced that the quartermaster
corps school is doing splendid prac-
tical work that cannot but en-
nance the combat efficiency of the
army as a whole. The infantry
school goes into camp for the
spring general terrain exercises
May 1922, 1926. In this period we
go extensively into the subject of
infantry supply We would be
glad to have with US at that time
any representatives of the quarter
master corps school"
The joint board of the Army and
Navy having approved certain
recommendation relating to the ex-
change of officers, the Attorney
General was requested to render an
opinion on certain questions m
voIved in the exchange.
The Attorney General has stated
that he respectfully must decline
to review the question or to state
any opinion for the reason that
apparently the board intends to
submit certain regulations covering
these recommendation to the Presi-
dent for his approval and as long
as the proposed regulations are
under consideration and have not
been drafted or adopted any ques-
ton affecting their legality is a
moot one"

Butler

PHILADELPHIA, July 15. =
Orders to ego get 'em" from
Director Butler to, the depart
ment were issued following the
thirty-seventh ''hit-and-run" auto
accident in thirty days.
The order was a revival OF
the "arrest at all hazards" edict
issued against drivers who in
iure persons and then attempt
to escape. It had been accepted
as an order to shoot if neces-
sary but had been held in abey-
ance for some time. In the
meantime the death and injury
list has grown daily.
The recent accident was on
Pine street between Sixth and
Seventh when Beulah Taylor,
five, was knocked down in front
of her home. The car, which
had zigzagged into her, crashed
into the curb and the three oc-
cupants fled on foot as the girls
father and neighbors started
after them.

1t was a very successful camp
this year, according to the many
complimentary remarks made by
the Washington reserve officers.
The officers this year were placed
on duty with the line companies of
the Citizens Military Training Camp
and were in full command. This
gave each Individual officer his
training with men. The scheme
worked out fine. The attention of
the local reserve officers is now de-
voted to the coming camp OF the
343rd regiment of engineers in
August. This year this regiment
is to go maneuver OF its own.
1t will be in the form of an expert
ment that will be closely watched
by the War Department.
The 30 to 100 meter direction
finder developed for the signal
corps of the army by the Bureau
of Standards, is about to be turned
over to the service. Drawings and
specifications covering final
model embodying improvements not
found in the model to be. turned
over are being prepared by the Blu
reau of Standards, so that produc-
ton can be had when necessary.
The finished model will be turned
over to Captain Guy Hill, signal
corps of the army, for a series OF
tests by day and night in order to
determine the reliability and ac-
curacy attained IN direction finding

permitted in Bulgaria since the

From Russia Bulgarians have

we have received socialism and am

Oldest homes in Southern Mary

on q tributary Of the Potomac
river. The oldest inhAbitant can.

was considerably more than one
hundred wears old. 1t has been
occupied BY the Nankins, Alsons,
BlaO ixistones and Dents, four Of
Southern Maryland's most prCmi-
nent families.
The old home was the scene OF
many social functions. The last
occupants, Colonel and Mrs. Dent,
were noted for their hospitality
and thousands Of men, women and
children in all walks Of life have
spent pleasant hours and days as
their guests. About two years ago
Colonel and Mrs. Dent celebrated
their fiftieth anniversary. They
have resided in this home prac-
tically all OF their married life and
raised nine children, among them
being w. Gilbert Dent, president
Of the local real estate firm Of
Gardner and Dent, Inc.
About forty years ago the gov
eminent established a postoffice
which is known as Oakley and
there hasg been a country store at
this point for at least one hundred
years; due to the fact that 1t was
& country store and postoffice, and
also to the fact that Colonel and
Mrs. Dent were such highly re-
spected and popular citizens, 1t
was the central gathering place for
the community. It was pathetic
to. observe after the fire the ex-
pressions on the faces Of many OF
the citizens, showing that Colonel
and Mrs Dent were not the only
ones who were affected by the de-
structiOn OF this famous old place,
Men and women actually shed
tears.
|. Hardly had the house been re-
duced to ashes before people be-
gan to come from q distance OF as
much as fifty miles to offer their
services to Colonel and Mrs. Dent.
The main dwelling and surrounding
buildings were an entire loss and
due to the fact that they were Of
ancient construction it was only
partially insured.
