officers and men who could take the
annual cruises.
The Naval Reserve Officers Associa-
ton of the United States at it's annual
convention passed strong resolution
opposing the mid-week beginning of
cruises, and the department was quick
to see the difficulties faced by the re-
servists and had them changed with
out delay.
While reserve enlisted men of the
so-called volunteer reserve will not be
permitted to take the annual cruises
this year unless they have attended at
least IL drills prior to the cruise, 1t
was pointed out at the Navy Depart
ment this week that this regulation
does not apply to the commissioned
officers. However, officers of the vol
unteer reserve will not be permitted
to take the annual cruises until the
fleet reservists are provided for, and
then only if there is room. In other
words, if there is no room for the
volunteer reservists they will not be
permitted to cruise.
In the case of the local reservists,
it was pointed out that the quota to
be allowed to go on the destroyer
Allen will not permit even the Off
GERS of the fleet reserve here to cruise,
and that therefore there will be little
opportunity for the volunteer men to
go aboard her, and they will get no
cruise training unless place may be
found for them aboard ships of the
fleet,

command of the Sd Division, ac-
cording to present plans.
Local naval reservists welcome
these changes because of the fact
that it puts young blood at the helm
of the new organization, and some
long strides are promised from the
changes. Already, it was said, Comdr.
Smith has inaugurated the system
of competition in the drills, with the
result that considerable healthy
rivalry Is being stirred up among
the members of the various divisions.
So far the competitions are confined
to loading drill, infantry drill and
signalling.
1t is the hope to have the division
gun crews so well trained through
this competitive method that they will
be able to have target practice with
the four-inch guns aboard their train
ing ship, the u. S. Destroyer Allen,
when they go on their annual cruises
this Summer, and will be able to
make some scores that will make
the regular contingents sit up and
notice them.
Comdr. Smith also has instituted
a recruiting campaign in order to
bring the local divisions up to the
allowed strength, and at drill Thurs
day night ne addressed the members
of the command, suggesting that each
bring in a friend or two in the Or
ganiZation. He pointed out that if
they liked the work and were in
terested in it, they should bring in
their friends so that they would
buddies on the annual cruises, and
he added that If they did not like
1t they should let those in charge
know SO that they might make any
changes possible to make it more in
teresting for the youth of the city.
Other recruiting plans are being
made.
Changes in the dates for starting
the annual cruises of the Naval Re-
serve this Summer have been ordered
by the Navy Department because of
the universal objection to their start
ing in the middle of the week. In the
original orders for the cruises the
department had them arranged so
that they would start on Thursday.
1t was pointed out that this would
interfere with the civilian employ.
ment Of the men. Most of them take
their annual vacations for these
cruises, and it was asserted that to
start them in the middle of the week
would upset the plans of civilian firms
for vacation periods, which usually
start on the week ends, and that this
might seriously affect the numbers of

situation.
An immense rubber tree, with
branches and trunk fairly oozing
rubber, stands in his yard. II is 20
feet high and has foliage so dense
that it is almost impenetrable.
The yard about his home is a field

Unusual species of trees are an Aus,

pine, 70 feet tall, and a Lagunaria.

Origin of Copper-To Shoes.

From the Portland Express
Discouraged because his many chill
dren wore the toes of their shoes out
faster than he could afford to buy new
ones, George Turner cut some pieces
from q sheet of copper he had handy
and fastened them onto the shoe. He
found the shoes outwore any three
pairs he had ever bought. He
patented the idea, making his claim
cover copper. silver and other metals
for shoe tips, and made more money
from it than he could have wrested
from his farm in a lifetime. Copper
toed shoes became the rage, and chill
dren cried for them. For many years
they were in use, especially in smaller
towns and rural communities.

FILM DISTRIBUTORS
AND EXHIBITORS WAR
Warm Conflicts Over Contract and
Credentials Mark Session of
Theater Owners.
BY the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES, June 4.-Confiict
Between motion picture theater
owners and film distributors. repre-
sented by Will H. Hays. Ioomed today
as the result of action taken here yes
terday at the annual convention of
Motion Picture Theater Owners of
America.
. Declaring that the spirit Of the
uniform contract with distributors
had been nullified through the ad.
dition. of clauses during conference
with Hays last Spring. the exhibitors
at tumultuous session repudiated
the work of it's advisory committee
and appointed anew committee to
draw up another contract.
Before the action was taken
Charles Pettijohn. attorney for Hays
president of the Motion Pictures and
Distributors of America. warned the
gathering that there positively. would
be no conference with Hays organiza
ton this year on the contract matter
Although the contract discussion
brought forth heated debate, another
subject. that of credentials, all but
disrupted the gathering.
When the allied States group was
denied representation because, 1t was
said. it's dues had not been paid, the
entire group. headed by William "Al'
Steffes of Minneapolis. threatened to
walk out. Harmony was restored
after an impassioned plea by Harry
Davis of Pittsburgh.
