The swimming bee is buzzing
loudly now in the bonnets of the wo-
men athletes One who attempted to
swim the Chesapeake this week got
lost in a storm, and was given up as
lost. She was picked up by fisher
man, tho, and carried to the Western
Shore, much to the delight of her
family and friends.
Some are trying to. demonstrate
that women make better swimmers
than men because their bones are
lighter. Be thatmRs it may, it is true
that the weaker p sex is perform

Mr.. Clarke,

I-wish you and your valuable paper,
one from which l love to read the
news from my old Home Town, much
success. hope some day I will have
the pleasure of dropping in to see
you and to see all of my relatives and
friends; to look the good old town and
country over. I wish I was there
pcw.
I know where good people can be
found and there are none better than
in and around old Pocomoke and good
old Pitts Creek. I can picture every
read and path; the Pitts Creek Bap-
fist church, the old school house, and
many other places I would love to
see; but the position hold keeps me
tied down; I have to take my vaca-
ton in May, which is not good time
to visit Pocomoke for a real good
time. Everyone is so busy then. Now
is the time, to have good time while
many are at their leisure. Crops are
layed by; now is the time for picnics
and fishing, water parties, dove hunt
ing, and other fine sports.
I will see you all as soon as can.
Wishing you and all readers Of the
Democrat success and thanking you
or prompt deliveries, haven't missed
one yet, I am with best regards to
everybody,
CHARLES WHITE.

Miss Mary Brown, one of the stars
of the tennis world, has turned pro-
fessional. 1t is stated that several
more, both men and women, will fol-
low suit, all attracted by the lure of
gold. Red Oranges experience on
the foot ball fild; that of many collie
gians of the diamond and Huff's de-
termination to commercialize his pole
vaulting prowess-all have set ath
letic experts thinking and the end is
not yet. There is hint that some Of
those who are about to take part in
Davis cup tournament, will join the
professional ranks after it is over.
The idea of the promoters of pro-
fessional sport is to cater to the Gu
riosity of people rather than any real
ability to appreciate the fine points
of any particular game. Hundreds
will attend tournaments simply to
see MissLenglen, and the only way
they can tell whether she is playing
q high order of game is by a victory
over another star. The individual
plays do not mean much to many.
The same is true of many who go to
see Grange-they are not ALI football
enthusiasts, they simply want to see
parsonage who has been bruited a
broad as almost super man or super
woman.

dempsey ana 1unney are putting
on the finishing touchs of their train
ing for the big battle, September 2S.
Tex Richards says this will be the
greatest contest in the history of the
ring. AS a promoter, he is expected
to have that line of talk, so too much
dependence need not be placed in
what he says.
It would not appear, however, that
the biggest fight of the century could
be pulled off in ten rounds-the limit
of boxing contests in Philadelphia.
Some of the battles waged during
the times of Sullivan, Kilrain, Shar-
key, Rubin, Fitziinmons, and host
of other heavyweights, battles which
went into 40, so, and as high as rs
rounds, would make paltry 10-round
exhibition dwindle into insignificance.
The outcome of the Dempsey-Tun-
ney set-to is matter of dispute. With
regard to Dempsey, there seems to be
a disposition among many sport
writer's to discount his apparent good
condition. Critics are disposed to
see something lacking when compar-
ed with his Toledo form, and are dis
posed to predict defeat for the
champion.
Tunney on the other hand, is re-
ported to be at his top efficiency as a
fighter. He is younger; he has had
continued ring experience; he is
thinking fighter; he is as big and as
strong as Dempsey; he is adopting a
quiet system of training; and when
the time comes, is ready to furnish
big surprise to his opponents.
St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati
are having a lively tussle in the Ma
tional League for the base ball
championship. At this writing it looks
as if St. Louis will cop the bunting.
New York has an almost certain
lead in the American League, her po-
sition being largely due to the return
of Babe Ruth to his real form. Ruth
will not equal his 59-home-run rec
ord this year, but he has been OF in
estimable value to his club, and has
played, possibly, the best ball OF his
career.
The Orioles will have to be satisfied
this year with place near the bot
tom of the first division in the Inter-
national League. 1t may be better
for this organization that no one club
monopolizes pennants; but Baltimore
base ball crowds are poor losers and
it will be interesting to note the effect
next year on the crowds when they
are called upon to patronize club
not out in front. Many can recall the
time when the old Orioles-as fast
combination as the game ever saw

OF particular interest to all reserve
officers is the recent case of an infan
try reserve officer who applied for
commission in the Marine Corps Re-
serve. Acceptance by member OF
the Organized Reserve Corps of an
appointment in the Marine Corps Re-
serve, it is held by the War Depart
ment, would operate as a vacation of
the appointment in the Organized
Reserve Corps. The view is held in
the department that the two Offices
are incompatible, for in case Of emer
gency an officer holding the two COM
missions might be ordered into active
duty both as an officer OF the Marine
Corps Reserve and as an officer of the
Organized Reserves of the Army.
Both orders, War Department authori-
ties declare, would be entirely legal
and would operate to render the indi-
vfdual concerned amenable to the Ar
ticleS of War SO far as the Army Is
concerned and to corresponding laws
in regard to the Marine Corps. 1t
would be impossible for such an indi-
vidual to comply with both orders, and
yet his compliance with one order
would not excuse him for failure to
comply with the other. It has been
held that an officer who was holding
a lCAilpOI All tIlO 1NCS u
lar Army for the period of the emer-
gency during the World War could
not at the same time hold a commits
sion as brigadier general in the Phil
ippine National Guard after such or
ganiZation had been called into Fed
eral service, the two offices being in
compatible, and that the officer va
Gated his temporary commission in the
Regular Army by accepting a commits
sion in the Philippine National Guard
in Federal service. The principle of
that case and the law applying thereto
are applicable in the instant case.
The law governing such cases is
contained in section Alb of the
national defense act. This clothes
the President with the authority to
appoint as a reserve officer of the
Army any senior division r. o. r. G.
graduate who has satisfa ctorily COM
pleted certain requirements and who
shall agree to serve the United
States in the capacity of a reserve
officer Of the Army during the period
of at least five years from the date
OF his appointment as such reserve
officer, unless sooner discharged by
proper authority. This provision, it
is pointed out, is clearly for the pro-
lection of the interests of the Gov
eminent, and may, of course, be
waived by the Government. In order
to make this transfer, however, the
consent Of the War Department is
necessary.

weeks ago announcement was MADE
by the Navy Department OF the es-
adjustment of naval training units at
Harvard. Yale, Georgia Institute or
Technology, Northwestern University,
the University of California and the
University of Washington. A four
year course in naval science and tao
tics will become effective at the open
ing of these colleges this Fall. This de-
cision merely comedies with the often
expressed belief in the Navy Depart
ment that the experiences OF the
World War, when college men proved
their ability to serve as good acting
ensigns after six months of intensive
training at the Naval Academy war
rants the opinion that men trained In
the Naval Reserve officers Training
Corps course will provide excellent
Junior officer material.
It is the intention of the Navy De-
partment to make these college units
the naval academies of the naval res
orvists. giving the students enrolled
the same basic training as Is given
midshipmen at Annapolis. With the
experience gained at the six college
units which have been established, the
Navy Department will be in a posi-
ton to ascertain the feasibility of in
Producing naval units to the curricu-
lum of other colleges, and looks for
ward to the establishment of at least
one college unit in each of the eleven
naval districts in the United States.
The Secretary of War. replying to
the naval Secretary's outlined plan
for establishing naval r. o. T. c..
units at certain institutions, assured
the Navy of the Army's cooperation
In it's new work, and has advised that
instructions have been issued to the
Army representatives at these speci-
fed institutions to cooperate with
naval representatives and to arrange
with institution authorities for the
selection of r. o. T. c. students to
the satisfaction of both the Navy and
the Army. Up to the present time
