Such rapid progress in efficiency
and in size of complement has been
made by the United States Naval Re
serve Battalion of the District of Co.
l,mbia that the Navy Department be-
leves it should have one of the latest
destroyers in the Navy. The local
battalion has had for couple of years
the destroyer Allen. on which the di-
visions have made several training
cruises 1t is of the older type, and
since the local Reservists have had
her she has been put in the best of
condition, much of the credit for this
being due the ship keepers, who are
Reservists on permanent active duty.
However, on the cruises last Sum-
mer the vessel was crowded on each
voyage, it being necessary to install
number of hunks in addition to
those regularly built in such ships.
This was made necessary because of
the rapid strides made in the attend
ance of the battalion under it's new
regime and the unusually large num-
hnr Of requests for permission to take
the annual cruises.
Excellent reports have been receiv-
ed on the work and duty performed
by the local Reservists during the
past Summer and of the condition of
the ship. Having shown it's ability
to keep such a ship ready for instant
service, the department was of the
opinion that it would he even better

of ships. now in ordinary at the Phil
adelphia Navy Yard, to keep ready to
move, as this Is the type of destroyer
on which the officers and men of the
local battalion will serve should how
ering war clouds make it necessary
to again call the Reserves to the
colors.
The Bureau of Operations Of the
Navy Department has sent letter to
the commandant of the Philadelphia
Navy Yard, Rear Admiral Julian l..
Latimer. to select one of the destroy
ers in ordinary" at that station and
inform the department of the amount
of funds necessary to place her in
commission for Reserves. It is not
contemplated that any large altera-
tions will be made, or any expensive
work done. If it is found that the
cost will not be excessive, a vessel
will be selected to relieve the Allen.
The letter of the department gives
the commandant the names of the
following destroyers of the war-built
and developed flush-deck type from
which the selection is to be made:
Mason, Albeit p. Upshur. Hunt. Well

She watched them now, fascinated.
Something bade her run into the house
and cry out an alarm; something held
her there clinging to the balustrade,
her eyes fixed on that spot below her
just a few yards along from where she
stood. She could make out a figure
now. the figure Of a man crawling
warily out through the hedge toward
the lawn. And then instinctively she
caught her hand to her lips to smother
an involuntary cry, and drew quickly
back from the edge of the balustrade.
The figure was in plain sight now on
the lawn in the moonlight figure in
long dressing gown; a figure without
hat, whose silver hair caught the
sheen of the soft light and seemed
somehow to give the suggestion of
ghostlike whitenesS4 to the thin,
strained face beneath.

For a moment Polly watched the

the grove of trees that surrounded the

But he was an incurable monoma MAC.
And now he was out there on the lawn
in the middle of the night in his dress
ing gown. What was it that he was
after? Why had he stolen out from
the house in such an extraordinarily
surreptitious way?
\ She turned and ran softly along the
veranda, and down the steps to the
lawn, and stood still again, watching.
There was no need of getting Dora out
of bed because in any case Mr.. Marlin
could certainly come to no harm; and,
besides. she, Polly, could tell Dora all
about it in the morning. But, that

be taught to live in a different world,
to acquire the viewpoints of different

fit herself to take her place in that
world and that station where her
guardian lived and moved. Today she
understood this in much more ma

that she should go back to England

greatest happiness came from the
knowledge that her mother. since
those four years began, had removed
from the squalor and distress that she
had previously known all her life, and
had lived since then in comfort and

they are a change and are good en-

Two good programs from WEAF,
