Civilian Army News

to the pressure OF their civilian pur-
suits, has resulted, under the newly
established War Department policy,
in the establishment of two groups in
the Reserve Corps, one active and one
inactive. When the current period ex-
pires on any commission an officer will
be given the opportunity to indicate
in which group he desires to have his
renewed commission, and in the event
of his selection of the inactive group
he will not be expected to be available
for any military training or duty ex-
cept when subject to call under pro
visions Of law.
The active group will be divided
initially among the various grades
on the basis of total between seven
ty and eighty thousand, distributed
in accordance with tables of organiza-
ton. This total will not affect the &C
ceptance of an unlimited number OF
candidates from the r. o. T. c.. the
enlisted Reserve Corps, the G. M. T. G,
or similar sources, which will be al
lowed irrespective Of whatever total
may be serving as the basis of ap-
portionment. If there occurs a sur
plus in lower grades which cannot be
absorbed by promotions to existing
vacancies, then a new basis will be
adopted whereby all grades will be
increased by corresponding promo
tions. A standard will be prescribed
as a basis for determination of the
officers to be transferred to the mac.
tive group of the Reserve Corps This
standard will be at least 800 hours
duty during the five-year period Of an
appointment. A 15-day training pc
riod would count for so hours, or
one-fifth of the total requirement
The limitation on funds prevents
all Reserve officers from participating
in the active duty training, and un
der the new War Department plan
a certificate of capacity will continue
to be regarded as best evidence of an
officers right TO remain with the &C
tive group. Tours on the general staff
or at the service schools would re
ceive similar consideration.
Four Institutional assemblies will be
held by Washington Reserve units

Judith nibbled away on her break
fast after a leisurely fashion. They
would be all morning making up their
minds, she knew And IL would be a
happy morning. And she was free!
Free to think her own thoughts,
dream her own dreams,
Her mind kept going back to the
moment at the window when she had
looked into Jack Dariens eyes. There
had been something in his glance!
Had it been remembrance? Impos-
sihle Then what had ii been? A
sort of moment of flashing kinship
between them? That was not impos
sible.
And he had turned back to her ami
mails. and chuckled at them. Poor
dear. How tired he had looked! What
had been happening to him to give
him that air of strain, of WEAKNESS?
Presently she dressed and went into
the room she used as studio. Day
in and day out. faithfully, she kept
office hours. This morning as she sat
down before her work bench with It's
litter of gayly colored papers, tubes
and bottles of paint and stains. small,
intricate tools, she came to her work
with a fresh interest, new eager
ness. This work that she had thought
of as cheap had taken on new mean
ing to her.
Suppose she should try making
figurines? She would steal just a
few moments every day If she did!
Why not try it?
For an hour she labored secretly
and with fast beating heart. Sud
denly she flung down brush and small
figure.
"Oh, can't do itt' she cried. "Ill
need to study and practice a lot be-
fore l could do anything worth whilew
She brushed aside the dream rough
ly. Shed have to stick to her toy
making till Honey and Dabs made
good That was all there was to it!
Well that might not be so long now!
Honey's chance might lift them all to
success! Her mind shrank away from
the thought of Dabs.
When Honey came to cali her TO
luncheon she called out, Cant come
right now! Put little on a plate in
the oven for me. I'll get 1t lateri'
AT the moment she was wrapped in
dream of making toys that Jack
Darien might see. Perhaps he would
go to some friends house, where
there were children. And perhaps
those children would have some of
her toys. And he would see them.
And he would chuckle! Never had
she taken more care over the making
of the ugly little animals than she was
taking today!
Suddenly she laid down her brush,
stared off into space. Oh, If she could
only hear him chuckle again over one
of these funny little creatures she
was making! She would be willing
to give up a lot just to hear him
chuckle, just to see his tired eyes

At 2 o'clock she went and got her
luncheon from the oven and ate 1t
hastily. In the background she could
see Honey and Dabs lurking, furtively
watching her. Their eager glances

1t must be torture to care as much
as that about success, Judy thought
to herself. And how they must have
suffered all these years under the
sting of failure! Poor, gay, gallant
creatures.
When she opened her door they
burst in upon her. They were nerv-

Then when everything was quite to

"Do you think I've picked out the
