fifteen days field training during the
period that they receive military pay.
In view Of the reduced appropriation
for the fiscal year 1929 revision of the

The general court-martial, headed
by Mai. Ralph L. Childs, which was
ordered convened for the purpose of
trying Pvt. Henry J. Krumm, 10Th

that both sides will be ready to proceed

said that the men may 60 on the range
when 1t Is most convenient. The old
practice of ordering out whole units for
two or three days field service for this
work has been abandoned for the pres
ent, and the firing now is done VOlln-
tarily by the men and without pay.
The militia bureau OF the War De-
partment has announced that the in
creased attendance at armory drills
during the current year has caused q
deficit of $1.206,218 in armory drill pay.
In order to meet this deficit, 1t was
further explained, the sum of $4,000
has been transferred from other sub
appropriation items for arming, equip
ping and training the National Guard
under the 10 per cent interchangability
provision, the remaining shortage,
$986,618, having been requested in q
supplemental estimate.
While no caretaker funds have been
transferred to armory drill pay. 1t was
explained that the status of funds in
other items will not permit of the trans
fer of funds to the caretaker appropria-
ton in order to make up the existing
shortage in the pay of the caretakers
for the fourth quarter OF 1928.
In the allotment of funds for the
IOuftn quarter reuuCJlOn OF per
cent will be made in the amount re-
quired for the pay of all Caretakers
authorized by the regulations The re-
duction of the amount of funds author
lied for the pay of caretakers in the
fourth quarter may be applied by one
or more of the following methods: BY
discharging assistant motor mechanic
caretakers, by granting the necessary
amount of leaves without pay between
April / and June 30, 1923; by applying
a straight percentage cut of per cent
to the monthly pay of all authorized
caretakers.
In view OF the shortage of funds
for the fiscal year 1928, and the fact
that the appropriation for the fiscal
year 1929 does not provide funds for
fifteen days leave with pay authorized
by the regulations. no enlisted care
takers attending field training camps
during the Summer can be paid as

The board was appointed under the
National Guard regulations. but 1t was
said by Col. hewitt that SO far 1t had

the board has been appointed indicates
that there are some officers of the local

Whether this means the beginning of
an effort TO clean the Guard of officers

Torrance of their duties or whether
there is one officer whose efficiency is

No More Leisure

Leisure is gone gone where the
spinning wheels are gone, and the
pack horses, and the slow wagons, and
the peddlers who brought bargains to
the door on sunny afternoons. Ingen-
ious philosophers tell you, perhaps,
that the great work Of the steam en-
CINE Is to create leisure for mankind.
Do not believe them; 1t only creates
q vacuum for eager thought to rush
In. Our fdleness Is eager now--eager
for amusement; prone to excursion
trains, art museums, periodical lltera-
ture and exciting novels: prone even
to scientific theorizing and cufsory
peeps through microscopes Old Lei
sure was quite different parsonage !:
he only read one newspaper, innocent
of leaders, and was free from that
