beyond the age limit of 35 years, and
as the men composing these units
must essentially be railroad techni-
clans, the age limit must be extended
if the best railroad men of the coun.
try engaged in this line of work are
to be enrolled in these units. Investi-
cations have shown that railroad tech
nicians of proven ability and loyalty
must usually serve an apprenticeship,
and those men who have been found
best fitted for enlistment in these
units are usually over 50 years of age.
The belief is held in the War Depart
ment that the age limit OF 80 years
should not apply to personnel with
special technical training. 1t is OF
great qualification to War Department
authorities to learn that a number of
railways are "fathering" some of
these technical units of the Organized
Reserves, which III the event of war
would be Of inestimable value in the
mobilization Of the Nations man.

Slight notifications have been made
in the c. NJ. T. c. application blanks
from those used last year. The new
blanks are expected to be available
for issue about February Is. They
prescribe that candidates will have to
be II years of age on the date of the
opening of the camps. Height and
weight requirements, especially for
the younger men, will be slightly less,
and the parents consent will be neccs-
sary for all young men under 81.
Those who attended the camps last
year will be admitted without IA ply
steal examination upon their certifi-
cate that they are in as good physical
condition as they were last year. 1t
Is expected that the 1926 camps will
be very much oVerSubScribed and ap-
plications will be accepted according
to the priority of their receipt. Lieut..
Col. John Scott, Infantry, senior ex-
ecutiye officer at Organized Reserves
headquarters in Washington, sounded
warning this week TO those young
men residing in Washington who
really want to go to camp this Sum
mer, pointing out that the Districts
quota has always been oVerSubScribed
and that If they desire to take the 80
days training next Summer they
should file their applications at re-
serve headquarters without undue de-
lay.
Recommendations have been made
by the Secretary of War that the orig
inal enlistment of persons in the en-
listed reserve corps for railway operat-
ing units be authorized for persons
between the ages of Is and 45 years
The reason for extending the age limit
from Is to 35 years, which obtains at
the present time, to Is to AS years is
due to the fact that considerable
difficulty has been encountered in re
cruiting the proper personnel in the
organizations of railway operating
units of the Organized Reserves.
1t has been found that highly
trained railroad men who are desired
for this class of units are frequently
