Physical Culturists Agitated By

LONDON, October 8 CP).-Is the
wasp waist coming back? British
physical culturists are much agitated
by the tendency Of Fall gowns to have
q we'll marked waist line. An an.
nouncement that a London woman
died after eating a heavy dinner while
she was tightly laced has provided
endless warning through the press
that women who want to retain their
health must not let themselves become
enslaved to the corset.

Much interest is being shown by
the personnel of the local National
t,uard in the military correspond
ence courses laid down by the war
Department. The Sd Corps Area
headquarters, at Baltimore, Md, mas
been Informed that the officer person
mel of the local Guard has enrolled
100 per cent for the courses, and tnat
apnlications are being daily reserved
from the enlisted personnel Tor per-
mission to take the courses
officers are much pleased by TINS,
because it indicates to them that most
of the people in the local Guard are
deenlv interested in improving their
military knowledge, so much so that
they are willing to give the great
amount of additional time required
for the study in connection with the
courses and to work out the proplehl9
which go with them.
Information has been requested from
the United States Civil Service com
mission as to whether it will hold an
examination for the SELECTION Oh can.
didates for the United States Military
Academy in the near future, as was
done in the Fall of 1925. It was stated
that il is the desire of the Guard ON
Gals to have its candidates for the
one appointment examined Dy the
commission, and that it IS Wiling TO
bear the necessary expense.
At the present time there are six
mon being coached for the examlna-
ton, and it is believed that by the
time set for the preliminary examlna-
tons there will be 10 candidates from
the enlisted ranks of the Guard. The
local Guard has been allotted or the
% amendments allowed each year to
the National Guard Of the United
States. AS a matter of fact. the local
Guard has a representative in each or
the four classes now at the Military
Academy.
Mai. Joe r. Mickey, commanding
the LIST Battalion of the 121st Regl-
ment of Engineers, it was announced
at headquarters, has been appointed
assistant trade commissioner at Porto
Rico for the Bureau Of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce of the Depart
ment of Commerce. 1t was announced
that he would sail for his new post on
October 10.
Mr.. Mickey is a veteran officer of
the Guard and served in the Spanish.
American and World Wars. His GO
ing is Viewed with much regret by
local Guard officers. He served in the
Indiana National Guard as early as
1895, and was in the Spanish Ameri-
can War in the 16Oth Indiana Nolun.

Considering present personnel, the
inspector reported that it was so per

Capt. Samuel NJ Grayson, National
Guard Medical Corps, now attending
course of instruction at the Army
Medical School at Carlisle Barracks.
Pa, has been informed that there are
i, no funds available with which to
send him to the convention OF the AS
ISOLATION of Military Surgeons OF the
United States as a delegate to rep
resent the local National Guard. Inc
convention is to be held October IA,
Is and l6, at Philadelphia, and Capt
Grayson has been authorized to at
tend at his own expense if he desires:
The chief of the Militia Bureau OF
the War Department wrote to the
local Guard and urged strongly tnat II
be represented at the convention.
Unit commanders of the local Guard
have been cautioned by headquarters
against the practice of recommending
enlisted men for promotion IN excess
of the numbers allowed by the taples
of organization. The company COM
ma nders will be held to strict account
TO make certain that they are allowed
the promotions which they seek Tor
their men. The practice mas caused
some mix-up in pay rolls, because
rnon examination it has been FOUND
that some men were promoted 10 po-
sitions which did not exist, ana they
had to be reduced for the purpose OF
nav. and the pay rolls changed. VI
ficers can make promotions only
where the strength of their respec-
tive commands will permit 1t.
The officers also have been called
tn account by headquarters for laXlty
in the preparation of drill attendance
reports. 1t was said at headquarters
that an examination of many OF THESE
napers showed that the officers had
given insufficient attention to details
and they have been told that they
must exercise more care in this duty.
The monthly report Of the use of

District National Guard

The congratulations of Mai Gen
Anton Stephan. commanding the Ma
tional Guard of the District of Column
bia. have been extended in letter
written to Maj. Walter w. Burns,
commanding the 260th Coast Artillery
on the fine inspection report received
by that organization on its recent en-
campnlent held at Fort Monroe, Va.
The commanding general" says
the letter, ''is pleased to note the
commentator submitted by the in
speeding officer, and extends his con-
gratulations to the commanding ON
Ger and personnel of the 260th Coast
Artillery for the very efficient work
which they performed during the
Held training period.
'".fhe ratings of the inspector indf-
cate the energy and zeal with which
members of the 260th Coast Artillery
performed their armory training
preceding the encampment.
ut is hoped that continued appIica-
ton Of members Of the command will
correct the one deficiency noted
within their control to correct, in
such manner as will warrant con-
tinued rating of very satisfactory for
the organization"
Announcement has been made at
brigade headquarters that the Mill
tia Bureau of the War Department
has extended Federal recognition to
the following units of the National
Guard Of the District of Columbia, but
which are, in reality, 29th Division
troops: Headquarters Detachment,
29th Division. Ordnance Department
Detachment. State Staff and the Quar-
termaster Detachment. These COM
mands have been organized for some
time, and have been functioning in
their respective fields, but this action
of the War Department gives them
the Federal status which enables
them to participate in the use of Fed
eral funds for training.
Maj. l.. G. Brinton, jr., senior in
structor of the 18th Division, with
headquarters in this city, has sub
mitted his report on the 29th Divi-
sion staff on it's recent encampment
and field training period at Virginia
Beach, Va.
He recommends that division
quartermaster should be appointed to
take the place Of the present official.
who, he says, has never attended an
encampment since his appointment.
Incidentally 1t was announced at di
vision headquarters that Lieut.. Col.
Baldwin Myers, the incumbent, had
already asked to be put on the re-
serve list, because he was unable, by
reason of business pressure, to carry
on the duties.

local organization will invite the BAL

elaborate entertainment win be plan

This cooperation between the two
units, according to the officers of the
local battalion, will result in great
good to both. and the interchange OF
ideas on training will he most val

ington to work in the Bureau of In
sular Affairs he enlisted in the Ma
tional Guard of the District of Column
bia as a private, and later corporal
and sergeant of Company /, I'd Infan-
! try, July II. 1913 He served as a
second lieutenant in both the I'd and
Sd District of Columbia Infantry Regi-
ments from 1914 to 1916. and went to
| the Mexican border with the latter
organization. He was with the 9Th
United States Infantry from July /,
1916, to October 81, 1918, and a cap
| tain in that outfit until October 90,
1919. While in France he attended
and graduated from the list Corps In
fantry School at sGondrecourt.
When he returned to the United
States he again entered the local
Guard and This promotion has been
rapid to that of the rank of major.
which he now holds. His going prob
ably will mean promotions all along
the line in the National Guard here.
Col. Luther. H. Reichelderfer, for
mer member Of the local Guard and
now in the Reserve, has been relieved
of his present assignment as COM
manding officer of the. .74th General
Hospital, zone of the interior.
Capt. Roy w keesee. having been
transferred to the National Guard, I'M

lieved of his assignment with the
121st Engineers.
While there has been a noticeable
improvement. during the past year
both in the care of property and the
maintenance of property records, a
letter from the chief of the Militia
Bureau says there remains much
room for-further improvement. and
it is hoped that the record for the
current fiscal year will show very
material reduction, particularly in the
articles lost and stolen. The record
of many States, says the letter re-
ceived at the" local Guard, Is indica-
tive of considerable laxity in observ-
ing the provisions of National Guard
regulations.
It's desired. the letter points out
to invite attention to the following
Safes in which the per capita value
of property dropped from all causes
was less than so per cent of $21,S52,
the average per capita.
The list shows that the National
Guard of the District of Columbia is
fifth on the list Of small losses, its
figure being $4,505 per capita. The
four States which preceded it are:
North Dakota, Nebraska, Oregon and
South Carolina.
The bureau calls attention to the
fact that, during the fiscal year 1925
there were in round numbers II 500
survey reports. In many of the
States very little use was made Of the
report, which Is much" less burden
some for disposing of unserviceable
property worn out in service when
these reports were authorized it was
anticipated that the number of survey
reportssubmitted would be reduced

It is announced that the Old Do

cided whether or not the local rifle
team will participate.
Officers Of the Guard are planning
to make the best of the makeshift
armory facilities that have been pro-
vided them in the old hotel building
on the Union Station Plaza until
such time as Congress can be con-
WINGED of their unsuitability to the ex-
tent of providing better facilities.
One of the large rooms on the first
floor it is now planned to fix up as
clubroom and to be kept open every
night to encourage the"men to con-
gregate there. While magazines and
books will be provided. and there is a
pool table installed. nevertheless it Is
believed that many of the men will
take advantage of the opportunity of
studying books on military subjects.
and it is understood that efforts will
be made to provide some sort of
military library which will be avail
able to the men during the periods
the club and reading room are opened.
There is one drawback to the en-
tire plan, and that is the fact that no
smoking is allowed in any part of the
building. This, it was added, may
serve to keep the men away. for SOL
diers while off duty, for the most part,
do like to smoke. The officials realize
that this Is a serious handicap to
them in such a building, and for this
reason alone would like to obtain
some other place where smoking Is al
lowed.
