Definite steps looking toward the &C.
QUESTION of adequate quarters here for
an armory befitting the dignity OF the
National Guard of the District of Co
lumbia were taken last week when
Maj Gen. Anton Stephan, command
ing the local militia, presented to the
District of Columbia Commissioners
the draft of a proposed bill intended
to be submitted at the coming Con-
gress, the general purport of which Is
to designate the Pension Office Build
ing for the use of the Guard as an
armory at such time as the General
Accounting Office moves out and into
it's new building, preparations for the
construction of which are already
under way.
There is a strong hope that the pro-
posed legislation will have q success
full passage through the legislative
MILL thus eliminating nearly score
of years of effort to obtain adequate
and suitable armory facilities for the
local Guard. Officials Of the Guard
have about given up hope of obtain
ing a building built specially for the
Guard and to meet its needs, and have
seized upon the plan to obtain one of
the present Government buildings
which will be vacated as soon as the
building program in the Avenue tri-
angle is under way.
1t was pointed out that the Pension
Building would be ideally suited for
this purpose, as it has a large space
on the ground floor which could be
used for drill purposes, and in addi-
ton has many large rooms in the
upper tiers which can be easily con-
verted into company rooms at the
minimum of expense. The patriotic
organizations and the civic organiza-
tions of the city already have express
ed themselves as approving the prof.
ect outlined in the bill, pointing out
that it would be a very fitting use of
the old building, so long occupied by
the Pension Office.
The Guard is at present seriously
handicapped in it's training work dur
ing the armory drill year, because the
old Government Hotel buildings on
the Union Station plaza are entirely
unsuitable for this purpose. There
is no place within the building large
enough to drill squad, and these
must be held in the public street when
the weather is good, but at other times
the training is given in the form of
classroom instruction. The National
Guard Association of the United States
and the War Department have ex-
pressed favor toward measures to pro-
vide an adequate armory for these
Federal troops, and this year efforts
will be made to have political inf1u-
ence from the States used in behalf
of the local Guard for the purpose of
giving it something to look forward to

ing failed to report on or after that
date for drill and all effort to locate
him having failed.
Attention has been called to the new
and stringent regulations for commits
sioning of Guard officers in the Air
Corps, which became effective Decem.
Der /. One of the regulations stressed
is that no candidate in the Air Corps
whose duty requires him to fly will be
examined for recognition unless he
holds a flying rating recognized by
the chief, Militia Bureau; provided,
that a person under 27 years Of age
will be allowed to present to the ex.
amining board in lieu of certificate as
to flying rating an agreement to take
a four months course in, primary
flying whenever the Militia Bureau
provides the opportunity.
Before an examining board may
consider the application of q candi-
date not within the age limit a waiver
must first be obtained from the chief
Of the Militia Bureau. Further, COM
missions in the corps are to be strictly
limited to citizens of the United States.
Notice has been sent to the Guard
by the War Department that officers
attending Army service schools are
furnished with living quarters either
in tents or buildings, for themselves
only, and no accommodations are
available for their dependents. These
quarters will be furnished with tables.
chairs, beds, mattresses and pillows,
but the officers must bring their own
blankets. sheets, pillow cases and
towels. They also should take bedding
rolls and sufficient field equipment for
short maneuver periods.

Invents Guard in Prison.

Ivan Novak's invention of an auto
matte guard for railway crossings,
devised while doing Is years. penal
servitude at Belgrade for murder, has
been recognized by the government. A
special commission appointed to exam
inc the device recommended it, and
Novak has ebeen sent to the govern
ment railway shops to make a model
to be tried on the state railway. The
apparatus consists of a barrier that
falls automatically as a train ap.
proaches and rises after it passes.
Nails near the rails some distance
from the crossing cause the barrier,
weighing 900 pounds, to fall and re-
main down until the engine comes in
contact with nails on the other side.

VERM0N7ER TRIES TO DEFINE WORD CHOOSE Senator Dale Says It Means "Plan" or "Intend" in
 His Native State

Washington. Aug. 3 P}-The word choose is frequently used in Yer mont and is accepted to mean plan or intend" Senator Dale, of that state said today in commenting on President Coolidge's statement of yesterday.
 Senator Dale indicated his own belief that Mir. Coolidge was defin- itely out of the presidential race.
 II do not think MT. Coolidge is playing with that subject" he said.
 Plymouth. Vt, Aug, 3 UP) - Choose" means the same in New England as it does anywhere else. according to Miss Florence Ciley, postmistress and former school nam of this Vermont village where Presi- dent Coolidge was born.
 Miss Cilley, long a friends of the president, said she thought he meant exactly what he said when he said T do not choose to run for president in 192S.'
 Tn all my years of school-teach- ing l never heard that New England had a special definition for the word choose" she said. To Plymouth folk Mr. Coolidge's statement means simply that he will not again run for president from choice.'

DEATH RIDES AGAIN ! ON MILFORD TURNPIKE
Hartford Man Is Found by Roadside; Struck by
 Unknown Driver

Milford, Aug. CP-Death stalk ed the Milford turnpike last night for the Fist time since January 1, when Eric Peterson ot z32 Ward street, Hartford, was found on the side of the road, on the verge of death. Although feebly alive early this morning, he was not expected to live until dawn.
 It is estimated that a dozen po- licemen were patrolling the stretch of six miles called Connecticut s death pike" when the accident oc- cured. A flying squad of six crack state troopers had been assigned to the turnpike yesterday afternoon and Milford police officers yesterday announced their intention of pa trolling the turnpike without pay during their spare time.
 Peterson, the victim of an un- known motorist was found lying in the grass on the side of the road op- posite the home of c. Sapatowitz, dDOuL u Iillle east oI MiiiOIu Ctlllcl, ', by Robert Harris and Thomas Bilin- sky of Orange. They noticed bun de lying in the road and stopped to see if it contained anything of value. A mans body was lying at the side of the road. They carried him to their car and drove him to the Mill ford hospital where Dr. A. c. Car
  penter and Medical Examiner Will liam J. A. Fisher declared he would probably not live through the night. The hair had apparently been scrap ped from the mans head when he was struck, exposing his raw scalp.
 Two ribs were broken and one of them had punctured his left lung. His chest bone was also broken.
 Following an investigation of the spot where the body was found it was found that no blood or shattered glass was in the road and police were inclined to believe that the man had been struck elsewhere on the turn pike and the body thrown off on the side of the road from speeding car.
 For a while suspicion was directed at the two young men who brought the victim to the hospital. Their old touring car was minus right front mudguard which had apparently been recently removed. They were leased however.
 When the bundle was opened by police the nature of it's contents led to the belief that he was seafaring man.

 Hope Is Belief

Geneva, Aug. LP - The an- nouncement that the six plenipoten- tiaries at the tripartite naval con- ference, supplemented by three or four other delegates, would meet some time today to discuss the new situation created by the Japanese compromise plan stirred the hopes of those conference circles in which q belief is still held that a treaty can eventually be drawn up at Gen. eva.
 Whatever decision, if any, the "big six and the others can come to. is felt to depend upon the yer diet of the British cabinet meeting being held in London today.

 While the newly-made drivers have in the first three months of the laws existence established this en- viable reputation, Commissioner Robbins B.

Opinions Differ on Use of Dubious word Choose" But Not a Few Think This Opens Loophole for Him to Accept if Draft ed" by Republicans.
VIEWS OF PUBLIC
 MEN ALSO DIFFER

From all over the United States today come newspaper comments anent Coolidge's statement relative to his not choosing to run for office again. Naturally, most of the com ments reflect the political prefer ences of the respective newspapers but a general tendency seems to be to believe that the presidents cau- tious wording of his statement is leaving a loophole for him to ac- cept the nomination as a public duty in case the republicans should see fit to draft him for office. On the other hand, some editorial writers declare positively that this statement has put Coolidge definite ly out of the running. Herewith is presented a series of press comments from leading American papers.
