IMPROVEMENT TO
Be MADE In The Y
BUILDING HERE

Through the generous gift of a
friend of the Young Mems Christian
Association wood -panneling and
glass partition will be built across
the lobby Of the "Y" which will ex-
tend from the south end of the coun-
tier to the east wall. Work on this
permanent Improvement will begin
this week.
Need for such partition has been
felt for some time, for it will convert
the southern end of the lobby into
a boys room which will be used ex-
clusively by them for the playing of
games for a lounging room, for a
place of their own to read and to
study, for the showing Of motion
pictures, and the holding of club
meetings.
specifications call for this parti-
ton 12 feet high from the floor to
the ceiling, with a wainscotting of
Oregon pine four feet high panneled
to match the other interior finish,
above which will be five feet of glass
in sizes to match the other construc~
ton work, and above this extending
to the ceiling three feet of pannel-
ing A swinging door, with glass
window, will be placed in line with
the gymnasium door, affording the
only entrance to the boys lobby and
the gym. At the end of the counter
and extending to the west wall and
above the counter will be placed a
seliding window from which boys
may be served for whatever require
ments they may want for games and
other things in their own room.
1t has been pointed out that one
of the greatest benefits from this
partition will be the confining OF
noise to one end of the building, and
the separation of the boys interests
and room from the mems interests
and their Grading room.

CROWELL LOOKS
FOR PROSPERITY
HERE this YEAR

Prosperity and progress should
hcaracterize the Douglas business sit
uation for the new year in the op-
lnion of John B. Crowell, cashier of
the Bank of Douglas.
Commenting on the situation in
general Saturday Crowell declared;
'"The outlook for the year 1926 is
very encouraging when compared
with the outlook at this time in
1925.
"The combined statements of the
hanks in this city show a substantial
increase in resources, with no bills
payable or rediscounts.
conservative management in al
lines of business should bring about
a substantial liquidation of lines OF
credit which are over-extended as
result of the past adverse condi-
tons"

SENATOR SMOOT 7
WOULD CUT OUT
TAX
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

WASHINGTON Jan. S.--Revision of
the house tax reduction bill to in
clude complete repeal of the inherit
ance tax was proposed today by
Chairman Smoot of the senate finan-
oia, committee, which will decide on
Monday on the rate schedules Of
the measure.
The chairman announced his posi-
tion after an attack on the inherit
ance tax by Senators Fletcher and
Trammell, democrats, of Florida, VIII }
appeared before the committee. Re
peal Of the levy also was urged by
the speakers of the out1 Carolina
and Arkansas houses of representa-
tives, Edgar A. Brown and Thomas
B. Hill, respectively, and by Lieuten-
ant Governor Mccall of Arkansas.
Senator Shoots declaration was the
first definite indication from repub-
lican ranks of a program of revision
of the non partisan house bill which
had been endorsed Gin general" by
Secretary Mellon. The treasury sec
retary, however, has repeatedly ad-
vocated repeal of the inheritance tax
on the ground that this ground TAXA
tion should be left to the states,
Democratic members of the finance
committee completed today their pro-
gram of tax reduction which they
will attempt next, week to have the
committee substitute for the rate
schedules in tho house bill. This
plan would call for more reductions
than the s33OOOO,OOO provided by the
house measure, going probably as
high as '$425, 100000.
A quick show down on the rate
schedules is expected when the COM
mittce takes up their provisions Mon
day. Democrats who are in the min
GRITTY, Z to TO-, will vote solidly for
their substitute program while the
are expected to vote for
the rate schedules, in the main, in
corporated in the house bill.

that they are the division officers.
An intensive recruiting campaign
for amateur radio operators to enlist
in this branch of the Naval Reserve,
instituted by the Bureau of Naviga-
ton of the Navy Department, has
borne fruit locally to the extent OF
the addition Of three local amateurs
to the commit cations branch of the
local outfit. jjecial effort Is being
made to get arlAteurS because they
are somewhat familiar with. the Op-
Grafton and care OF radio sets. and
the instruction they are given is con
fined principally to the details of
naval radio communication.
To perfect this branch of the Naval
Reserve, the department will favor
ably consider applications for the
issue of radio sets for armOry use.
The high frequency radio transmitting
sets are for the class of radio re-
serves made up of either professional
radio operators or amateur enthuSi-

that there are a limited number of

Previous instructions issued by the
Bureau of Navigation stated that the
solution of questions in practical
navigation transmitted for use in the
| examination of Naval Reserve officers
might require the use of the nautical
almanac for the year 1925, in which
time is reckoned by a new method
Since last December all practical navi
cation questions for Reserve officers
have contained two sets of questions
one requiring the use of the 1924
almanac, and the other requiring the
use of the 1925 almanac. In every
case the candidate has been allowed
his choice of either one of these sets
An inspection Of the written records
of examinations held since last Decem-
Der indicates that the Reserve officers
select the questions requiring the use
of the 1925 almanac, and, in view of
this fact, it appears TO be unnecessary
to send questions requiring the use OF
the 1924 almanac. Hereafter, only one
set OF practical navigation questions
will be forwarded by the bureau for
use in the examinations OF Reserve
officers, and this set will require the
use of the nautical almanac for either
the year 1925 or a subsequent year.

want to take the annual cruises this
year aboard the u. S. Destroyer Allen.
Under ordinary conditions, her COM
plement is about five officers, while
according to figures already compiled,
and taking into consideration the fact
that the officers of the Baltimore Re
serve contingent will cruise with the
local Reserves this year. 1t will re-
quire billets for about, Is officers on
each trip.
In order to ascertain just how many
Of the fleet reserve officers plan to
take. the cruises this year, of which
there will be three, a letter has gone
out from the local Reserve head
quarters seeking this information. In
addition to the fleet reserve officers,
the local orga nization Is authorized to
take not more than five volunteer Re
serve officers, but with the possibility
that If they cannot take care of the
fleet reservists it will appear that the
volunteers would have little chance OF
getting Il billet on the Allen. AS soon
as the number is ascertained, 1t is un-
derstood. the question will be sub

termine whether or not it Will be pos

at the result. and blamed it on the
fact that Staff -SGrgt. l.. T. Needs, an

of the Guard. made a slip and fired
five shots at the wrong target.
The final score was 2.29S for the
midshipmen and 2,248 for the Guard
team. Because of his mistake Needs
was the low man on the match, with
a score of only 1913. Capt. G.. S.
