peace-time administration Of the bat
talon as q whole.
It Is pointed out that included In the
headquarters divisions are the execu-
tive ofncer, the battalion stan officers
and those enlisted men in excess of
mobilization requirements for the feet
divisions, or in ratings not required by
Meet divisions, but who, due to their
personal characteristics, previous naval
sary for promoting the efficiency Of the
organization during peace times.
Each feet division, 1t was asserted,
Is required to furnish specified num-
Der Of trained men in certain ratings
for mobilization as the crew of a
designated vessel; most of the vessels
designated being destroyers now out of
commission. Should an ex-Navy turret
captain, for example, the bureau adds,
desire to enlist in the Naval Reserve,
there Is no place for him in the feet
division, because this rating is not re-
CURED on a destroyer and the number
OF men allowed to the fleet division is
considerably below the number required
for mobilization. If the ex-Navy turret
captain could be uSefully employed as
an instructor, drill master, or for other
duties in connection with organization,
his proper place Is In the headquarters
division. Likewise, in many locations, it
has been found advantageous to carry
cooks and mess attendants In the head
quarters division.
Taking up the recommendation Of the
abolition Of the two-diviSion battalionS,
the bureau says that upon the reorgan-
ization of the Naval Reserve in 1925
existing organizations were utilized so
far IS practicable. Prior to that date
the Reserve organizations more nearly
paralleled the militia organizations, In
that they consisted Of brigadeS, regi-
nentS, battalions and divisions. The
militia organizations were generally in
accordance with existing State laws.
Certain financial advantages, in the way
OF free armory rent, ETC., are enjoyed
by the Federal Government when an
organization has the dual status Of
naval reserve and militia. In bringing
the two into conformity there was q
certain amount Of give and take.
Br1gades and regiments were abolished,
but battalions were retained, and the
necessary changes were made In the
various State laws to bring the militia
organizations into conformity with this
reorganization. 1t Is felt, the bureau
comments, that the harmful effects due
to vacillation in policy would more than
onset any advantages gained. The
comments above on the suggested
abolition of two division battalions the
bureau says, also applies to the recon-
mendation for the abolition Of bat
talions made up Of scattered divisions.

Following Q month Of intensive drill
ing and practice both In the aymory
and aboard their training ship, the
u. s. destroyer Abel p. Upshur, berth
ed ct the Washington Navy Yard, the
members Of the LIST Battalion. United
States Naval Reserves Of the District
Of Columbia, were put through their
monthly inspection &C the hands OF
the commanding 0fhcer, Lieut.. Comdr
Finney Bascom Smith, last Monday
night. The men, 1t was said, put up
very fine appearance, and showed
excellent results Of the training they
have received.
Although the arrival of Winter has
made 1t necessary to abandon the
drills on the UpShur, the men never
theleSs will be kept In training by q
retical instruction in the armory dur
ing the next few months, with plans to
resume operations aboard the train
ing ship as early as possible, in prep
aration for the annual Summer cruises
with the Atlantic Scouting Fleet.
Considerable attention will be given
during the armory drill period to the
training OF gun crews for the target
practice next Summer with the big
guns aboard the, upshur. and the
pointers and trainers workmanship
will be kept up by intensive practice
in the rife gallery, which has been
installed In the basement Of the ar
mory. The local ofdcerS hope to pro-
duce by next Summer some Of the
best gun crews In the Reserve, and to
increase the very high mark which
some Of them attained last year.
The local battalion has received
some very interesting moving picture
films from the Navy Department to
be used in the instruction courses Of
both the deck and engine room forces,
and these will be shown in connection
with lectures to be given the classes
by the ofacers Of the command.
Following the completion Of the form
al ceremonies incident to the
q part Of the drill period was given
over to the men for athletics There
were several interesting boxing bouts
between contestants from the three
feet divisions.
George L. Barley, aviation chief ma
chinist'S mate. has been transferred
to the local Reserve from the Naval
Air Station at AnacoStia, D. @.
Joseph p. Comiskey has been pro-
NOTED from yeoman, second, to yeo-
man first class in the Headquarters
Division.
The following enlisted in the local
battalion: Perry j. Jecko, 1855 CAL
vert street, seaman, second class, as
signed to the I'd Fleet Division, and
John P. Manyette, 1895 Second street
northeast, seaman second class, as
signed to the LIST Fleet Division.
Discussing the abolition Of the head
quarters divisions of Naval Reserve
battalions, recommended by the naval
inspection board, the Bureau Of Navi-
CATION of the Navy Department, says
that these divisions, under the plan Of
organization, are intended to include
officers and men not required for mobil-

Ing the hair and scalp and keeping
IL IN a healthful condition. the hair
must be thoroughly shampooed and
rinSed.
One OF the greatest sources Of
trouble when doing your own sham
pooling. is the failure 10 thoroughly
rinse the hair. Until the hair feels
soft and cracks at the slightest
touch you may be sure that all the
soap has not been removed. Then
too. If the hair has been thoroughly
rinsed. it will take only half as long
to dry it.
When insufficient rinsing permits
any trace OF soap &c remain on the
~tresses. most Of the sparkle and ma
tural life is not only impaired. but
the color and the true texture Of the
hair is lost.
Knowing full well that every
woman's desire Is to have soft love-
ly hair. I do hope you will give this
shampoo a chance to show you how
lovely your hair can be. If an eX-
ceedingly large amount Of oil OF
