OF the Reserve Corps increased from

year of 13,448. A total of 1851 ap-
pointments were made during the
year. while 6,143 Reserve officers We're
separated from the corps. OF the lat
ter number 1892 were separated by
reason of expiration of the five-year

appointments of 1855 terminated in

The President, given out for publica-
ton today.
The amazing growth of this COM
punent of the Army of the United
states is seen in that at the close OF
the 1925 fiscal year-that is, June 80,
1925-the total strength of the Of
hCerS' Reserve Corps was 95,154 of
ficerS and 5.116 enlisted men, most OF
the latter being non-commissioned Of
fCerS for the key positions.
The Secretary points out that the
majority of the officers of the Organ
iued Reserves today are World War
veterans. but that the time is rapidly
approaching Whel the personnel OF
the organized reserve structure Will
consist of officers and men VINO nave
been partially trained in peace times
with no actual war experience. Due
to this Superannuation of the war vet
Grams holding reserve commissions. ii
is a matter of vital Importance, the
Secretary insists. in his report. that
1.-The personnel of this component be
permitted to improve their training
anU keep abreast of modern conditions
hy affording them active duty train
inE at least once every three years.
Though the Citizens Military Train
Ing Camps is a source for a few Of
hCers. the armed citizenry of the fu-
ture will be officered by the graduates
oi the Reserve Officers Training Corps
units in the college and universities
Of the country.
Secretary Davis holds to the opin-
ion that if the Officers Reserve Corps
of the future is to he an effective
component, the strength of the Re
serve Officers Training Corps should
be maintained at 119,2O0. senior and
Junior. for the fiscal year 1927. and
;,,n cd l,- I ar
mum for nine wears until the end Of
the fiscal year 1886. when the total
strength would be 12S.200. To pro
vide for the replacement of the World
War veterans holding commissions in
the Organized Reserves at the present
time. the Reserve Officers Training
Corps should furnish 5000 officers
per year, and. beginning with the 1927
fiscal year, the Secretary points out,
n minimum of 1900 Reserve Officers
Training Corps students should be
given training each year in the Sum
mer training camps. which are held
throughout the country
In his report. Secretary Davis lauds
the work of the Citizens Military
Training Camps. Since 1921, the first
year that these camps were con-
Quoted by the War Department. a
total of lGO.39l young Americans filed
their applications with the depart
ment for enrolment in these 30-day
training camps. Lack of sufficient
funds and the limitation of other IA
cilities, however, made il possible for
the War Department to train but 90
624 of these applicants. BY the end
OF the 1890 fiscal year, the Secretary
points out. it would be desirable that
the total number of candidates to he
trained in these civilian camps, he
increa sed TO $1,000. and after this that
incrementS of 1900 each be added to
the annIs enrolment.
In this summary of the Organized
Reserves the Secretary said: The

Corps to q point where it can be eX-

"Are there any others?"
Loads, said Peter Penguin with
a gratified air. "There are the sea-
parrots, too! They are called putin
birds, but they look exactly like par

make it easy to catch fish.

them. The guillimots look lot like

pOrated, very few substantial
business houses, the daily passen-
ger train had not made it's regular
appearance. Things have changed
very much since our hrst issue of

recognized as one Of the leading
towns on the north branch. Three

electic lights, steam heated hotel,
fire apparatus, chemical engines,
a beautiful city park and the best

are kept freshly painted and a
neat appearance of things in gen.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
PETER PENGUIN MAKES A VISIT
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON


Scarcely had Mister Wild Duck
taken himself off, when Nick ex-
claimed, ooh, Doctor Bill, here comes
another bird that looks like a bis
hop. He has black coat and white
shirt front and he's fat and straight
and sort of leans backward"
Doctor Bill, the bird doctor,
laughed and laughed. "That's right,
Nick" he exclaimed, looking where
Nick was pointing. ITS Peter PEN
gum. He does look like u bishop.
He visits me once a year to tell me
the news. We are old friends. How
are you, Peter?" he asked as the fat
bird waddled in and looked at them
all with his funny round eyes.
I'm all right SO far" said Peter
Penguin. but it's only because
have enough sense to come away
when the coming is good. It's about
this time of year that boat loads of
men come to our island and kill US
by hundreds. always get away
first"
What do they want to kill so
many of you for?' asked Nancy SYM
pathetically.
"They say that we are extra oily
and they boil US down to make pen
gum oil. / don't know what it is
used for, and don't care" he added
Indignantly.
"Won't you sit down and tell us
the news?" invited Doctor Bail.
Thanks, / am sitting" said the
bird. II just look as though | was
standing. Pm very comfortable. AS
for news-let me see. There ought
to- be plenty, as there are more sea-
birds than any other kind. Sea-birds
live on fish. so they are always sure
of a living"
Wont you tel these children
about the sea-birds? asked Doctor
Bill. There are so many kinds and
they are all so interesting"
Certainly" said Peter Penguin
obligingly. Personally l admire the
high diving birds myself. The loon
and the gannet are the highest Of all
divers. They can go under water for
quite distance and stay for eight
minutes without any air. They al
ways come up unframed, and usual
ly land fine big fish for their trou-
BILE. They might be called sea geese,
for they really belong to the goose
