enlisted men for the 1926-27 CORE
spondence courses.
Ratings Of subcourses will be made
as indicated in regulations for Army
correspondence courses, and as the
rating attained by each officer Will
become part of his record, reserVlsts
should make every effort to complete
his course.
Reserve officers will not be enrolled
for courses specifically prescribed for
a branch Of service other than the
section to which the applicant belongs
unless he shall first have completed
the Army correspondence courses per-
tanning to his own section. Should
there appear to be excellent reasons
for departing from this policy in any
particular case. it is probable that this
may be waived, but in all cases, it
will have to be handled by Sd Corps
Area headquarters. The courses will
be promptly handled this year, which
will permit the student officers to prog
ress as rapidly or as slowly as their
time and interest dictate. Every en-
deavOr will be made by branch schools
to accommodate the conduct of the
course to the circumstances of the
student, as it is recognized that there
are many officers Of the civilian COM
ponents Of the service who are earnest
in their work but do not have the
spare time to devote to steady appli-
cation of the lessons. Local Reserve
officers desiring further information
on these courses can obtain same by
communicating with Sd Corps Area
headquarters in Baltimore.
When the final analysis of the
1925-26 correspondence activities is
made it is confidently expected that
the Sd Coast Artillery District,
which embraces all local Reserve Coast
Artillery officers, will be well UP
among the leaders. The record Of
the Reserve Coast Artillery officers in
this district is all the more remark
able when it is considered that the
course of gunnery has been prescribed
as the basis for all officers. This
course Is undoubtedly the most diff
cult that Reserve student officers will
encounter, and 1t involves a number
of hours work.
1t will be Of interest to the Reserve
captains and field officers assigned to
anti-aircraft units who have completed
the prescribed course in gunnery,
that they will be required to take
subcourse "a of the advanced course
-anti-aircraft command The pur-
pose of this subcourse, it is pointed
out, is to indicate in a general way
to the student certain phases of the
normal duties of an anti-aircraft Ar
tillery field officer. The subject matter
of the subcourse has been so arranged
that 1t will serve as a general review
of anti-aircraft artillery. The scope
of the course embraces the following:
Organization Of anti-aircraft units,
organization and control of anti-air-
craft commands, anti-aircraft artillery
material, position finding for anti
aircraft artillery. characteristics of
aircraft and aircraft attack. anti.air.

Secretary Hoover Pleased.

Secretary Hoover recently expressed
himself as gratified at the apparent
cooperation extended the Department
of Commerce by the majority of broad
casting stations. but he has always
believed the industry would protect
itself. He is equally pleased with the
efforts toward local radio control by
some municipalities where the major
lty of broadcasters have mutually
agreed to stick to their old broadcast
channels and not shift about.
So few new stations have applied
formally for licenses that it appears
the potential broadcasters are not
going TO rush into the game until
Congress has enacted legislation giving
some one the right to regulate stations
and the station definite privileges
through the ether.
Some stations which have been trys
ing out new channels have apparently
found the old routes the better after
the experiment and returned to their
accustomed channels. probably much
TO the relief of the listening fans.

State Senator Alexander Simpson,
who was appointed by Gov. Moore as
special prosecutor to push the case,

Gov. Moore said yesterday that in
addition to prosecution of the murder

one of the victims, Senator Simpson
might take action on his own account
in connection with reports that a
previous investigation had been un-
duly hindered.

from Milwaukee Saturday to County

night of the crime she was accosted

testimony Of Mrs. Gibson. although
Mrs. Gibson said Mrs. Hall, charged
with the murder of her husband and
his young woman companion, was
present at the Staying, while Mrs.
Harding did not mention seeing a
