service men will be given the prefer
ence in the selections.
Former Master Sergt. Bernard A.
Buscher of the Medical Detachment,
121st Engineers, has re-enlisted In
that unit, as also have Sergt. George
Jermain and Pvt. Beckett.
The. members of Company F, 121st
Engineers, have announced a smoker
to be held June 80, to which a num-
her of friends of the men will be in
vited. The committ& in charge is
composed of Sergt. Potter. Sergt
Green. Lieut.. Hamilton, Corpls Dlckey
and Smith, Sergts. Lavenroth and H.
P. Meyers and Corp. Butler
Lieut.. Daniel b. Lloyd, 29th Mill
tary Police Company, delivered lee
ture to this unit at drill during the
week on the work of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey, talking particularly
on his recent expedition to Illinois
and Indiana.
Lieut.. RAYMOND w. Peak, COM
manding the z9th Military Police Com
pany, was given a surprise following
the drill last week, when he was. pre-
sented with a gold wrist watch, a glft
from the members of his command In
appreciation of his service. The pres
entation address was made by Top
Sergt Ralph y. Bsrtley, with an ap-
propriate response by Lieut.. Peak.
Corp. Guy T. Bolton, 29th Military
Police Company, has applied to take
the examination for pihot in the Army
Aviation Service.
Recommendation that members of
all units of the local Guard be given
training In the use of the gas mask
and also that training be given In the
identification of gas agents, first aid
and collective protection, is contained
in the report filed with National
Guard headquarters by Lieut.. LIE Roy
s. Mann, 260th Coast Artillery. who
has just completed course In gas
warfare at the Chemical Warfare
School of the Army at Edgewood
Arsenal, Md.
There are two methods by which
this training could be given, he says:
First, by training an officer and non
commissioned officer from each unit
and then having them train the other
members of their units, and second.
by having one officer train all units
in succession. He says, however,
that he believes the first method TO
be the best, as more complete tram
ing could be given to the ofhcers ana
non commissioned officers from each
unit
I'm order to carry on any form OF
training that will be of value Lieut..
Mann continues, ''it will be necessary
to procure sufficient masks to outnt
one company. They could be used by
the various units and batteries in ro-
tation. 1t is improbable that more
masks than these could be obtained,
as the supply is limited. 1t is not
believed that training given with the
World War type of mask would be
of any value, as the two masks are
radically different IN construction.
AT least three hours per company
would be required to properly carry
out the recommendations. More
would be desirable. Approximately
five hours would be required for the
designated officer and pon-commis-
stoned officers. in addition, If all the
recommendations are carried out
Gen. Stephan has issued an order
directing the establishment of an
eligible list for the selection of Off
GERS for the units of the National
Guard. There will be a separate list
for each branch of the service. "A

FINANCE REFORM PLAN
RATIFIED IN RUMANlA
Program Is Expected to Put Cur
rency on Sound Basis Within
Is Years.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, Rumania, June ID
Rumania's program for a return to
sound money within period OF Is
years has bee n made effective through
parliamentary adoption of bill rati-
flying two conventions with the ma
tional bank of issue.
One of the conventions extends the
banks charter, increases Its capital
and aims at strengthening the gold
reserve. The other provides a scheme
for wiping out the internal debt of
10000, 100000 lei by earmarking Ger.
tain government revenues, estimated
to yield $50 ,000, 900 lei annually.
The fiscal circulation would be re-
duced a like amount yearly, so that 1t
would drop from 100000, 900 lei to
$500, 100000 during the 15-year period.
The government regards the plan as
a feasible method for revalorization
and stabilization of the leu, although
some prominent economists consider
it impracticable and urge immediate
deyaloriZation.

The opportunity for getting on the
guard rifle team, which is to go to
Camp Perry, Ohio. in August to par
ticipate in the national matches, has
officially been called to the attention of
the local guard by Maj. Gen. Anton
Stephen.
"The District of Columbia National
Guard rife team, under the direction
of First Lieut.. ]. c. Jensen, 121st En-
gineers, team captain" he said ''is
participating in practice for tryouts
for the team to represent the National
Guard of the District of Columbia in
the national matches. The national
match rules provide that onehalf of
the team members shall be men who
have never before fired in a national
match. 1t is believed that this method
gives ample opportunity to every
member of the National Guard of the
District of Columbia to aspire to a
place on the rife team and it is re-
ouested that all persons interested in
trying out for places on the team see
Lieut.. Jensen either at the armory or
at the target range on practice days,
namely, Saturday afternoon and Sun
day morning"

SILHOUETTE
WITH CURVES
by Alice Langelier-

PARIS.
~ EFoRE the swallows sing
again madame's silhouette
will have few curves in It.
according to the whisperings that
are being done around the large
dressmaking shops in Paris.
Fashion dictators are discussing
the probability OF the circular
movement and straight lines in
skirts. Women have shown great
approval Of straight froclxs, but 1t
is generally admitted that the most
successful models have been the
combination Of the two, with the
upper part very straight and slen.
der and considerate fulness below
the knees. Skirts OF the demi-sea-
son models are often tight to the
knees and then spring out sudden
" in a circular flounce or gathered
or pleated attachment.
In the Youssoupoff collection the
Spring models have neither flounces
nor pleats, but q circular flare in
fulness at the sides and straight
and fiat In the front and back.
This designer, who, by the way,
is a Russian princess and has
Russian refugees executing her
work, is fast becoming one Of tho
most popular designers in the
French capital. She carries out
this graceful movement in botn
frocks and coats. The frocks are
shorter in front than in the back
and sides so that the circular move
ment appears only at the sides.
The skilled designer makes it MP
pear straight, but at the same
time it is evident that the circular
sides are it's important feature. A
black velvet dress of this kind has
a short front and circular sides,
with a band of fur around the bot
tom, and is cut with a deep v in
the neck. An undertook is in
printed lowered design like the
scarf, which gives a pretty touch
of color.
A return toward the normal
waist-line, which means a gentle
curve at this point, is expressed in
some Of Worth's new creations. An
evening gown in coral pink velvet
has a black tulle oyerskirt EN-.
broidered in steel beads with soft
folds about the waist where belts
will probably be placed again. A.
black velvet costume seen at the Sa-
Ion d'AeropIane combines straight
lines and curves In charming
manner and has only a lovely
band of fur about the bottom for
trimming and ornamental buttons
