troll booth, to be sure that her voice effects
were not being impaired in singing over the
radio.
WOMEN In ofRcial life who have spoken ON
the radio from Washington have been for
the most part more composed than the men:
at least they haven't manifested their nervous
ness as plainly. Mrs Herbert Hoover is the
first wife Of . President to talk over tie radio.
It is said, however, that she was not aware of
when she spoke at the recent convention Of the
Daughters Of the American Revolution. Like
her husband, she showed no signs of nervous
ness.
Mrs. Edith NourSe Rogers Congresswoman
from Massachusetts,, was her gracious self at
the studio. Ruth Hanna Mccormick of Illinois
appeared q little nervous, but then she always
manifests the temperament of a thoroughbred
horse ready to dash into action. Ruth Bryan
Owen, from Florida, maintained her charming
dignity and quite bit of the pose and charm
of her father. "the Great Commoner."
The recent Inauguration of talks from WRC
ard WMAL Of Washington by members Of the
cabinet and Congress has furnished many
Senators an opportunity which they have not
had before to talk to the country as whole.
The innovation is the first time in the history
of any country that its legislative body has
voted to talk Of their deliberations to the
country as q whole via the radio.
Many Of these veteran political warehouses;
have behaved before the microphone like
schoolboys making their first speeches They
begin in fear and trepidation and finish in per-
spiration and relief. 1t makes you like them
little better to feel that they are so human
and easily scared
The first two speeches were made by Senator

Before the "Ihke F"

Metcalf of Rhode Island and Senator Sackett
of Kentucky, and for their convenience the
microphone had been set up in Senator Met
Calls apartment The young announcer who
introduced the Senators had never spoken over
the radio before and he made his introduce
tons in much trepidation, although he con-
trolled his voice. and turned to ind the two
veteran orators looking just as scared as he
had felt. The first Of those Senator'S is q
veteran Of many q political battle, and the
second q business executive with an impressive
list Of achievements to his credit but he trem-
bled before the mike"
ONE man in the Senate has perhaps been a
participant in more political wars than
any other solon. but Senator Duncan U.
Fletcher Of Florida had tremor in his voice
over the radio. Perhaps the mere fact that
ne was obviously nervous made his speech more
effective.
Speaking over the radio is turning the repu-
tations for oratory of certain Senators upside
down. Many of those men who have been
adjudged poor or mediocre speakers ON the
floor of the Senate have proved among the
best speakers over the radio. One case in
point Is Senator John Thomas OF Idaho, a very
reserved, quiet man who chooses his words
carefully, and whose enuncation and phrasing
are good, but who speaks without gestures and,
consequently, with little dramatic effect He
makes an excellent impression over the radio.
The psychology of Senators who are going
TO speak for the first time on the radio seems
to be this, II am to talk as slowly as possible"
although the best advice is to talk in the
normal tone Of voice. AS consequence many
of them speak deliberately and therefore clear
ly and forcibly. Only one man in the whole
group. who incidentally, is an impressive speak
er from the floor of the Senate, dropped his
voice much below even normal speaking voice,
so low in fact, that 1t had to be amplified to
be heard-Senator David Reed of Pennsylvania

District National Guard

With only one more drill night be-
fore the Inauguration, units composing
the National Guard of the District OF
Columbia which are to participate in the
inaugural parade for President Hoover
are getting out their Winter equipment
and making other preparations for the
are holding special drills. to appear as
good as possible during the long march
down Pennsylvania avenue.
Crowded as they are under normal
conditions, the buildings on the Union
Station Plaza occupied by the local
citizen troops are likely to be consider
ably more filled during the inaugural
ceremonies, as several State organiza-
lions have asked for permission to use
the buildings for the quartering of their
troops while here.
The buildings are cut up into small
rooms for the most part, although there
are few larger rooms. made by knock
ing out partitions, and are unsuitable
as dormitories for the sleeping of large
groups Of men, but it was said that
every effort would be made to place the
visitors in as comfortable a condition
as is possible under the circumstances.
Then long, narrow corridors may be
used and cots placed in them on which
the visiting troops can sleep.
1t will serve to impress also on the
visitors that the United States Con-
gress has utterly failed to set the eX
ample for the States in providing ade-
uuate accommodations for the training
Of the local national guard. 1t has been
consistently commended that the District
Guard should be set up as model for
the country, being to certain extent
a Federal organization. While the
States are expected to build, equip and
maintain suitable armories for their
troops in order to obtain and retain
Federal recognition for their units, the
District National Guard, dependent as
It is on the graciousnesS of Congress
for its support, has been denied a
proper building in which to train its
citizen soldiers for field service in aid
of the country in time of national
emergency.
For some time the local Guard Off
Gals have been undertaking to circu-
late propaganda among the State Guard
officials in an effort to force Congress
to make adequate provision for the local
militia, and it was hoped that the Ma
tional Guard Association would be sue
cessful at the current session of Con-
greSs in getting start made on an
armory for the District. However, as
the session draws to a close there
seems little likelihood now that there
will be any direct result to the efforts.
There were two plans. One was to
legislate into the custody of the Guard
the Pension Office Building, in Judiciary
Square, which it has been said by
Guard officials would make an ideal
armory, and the other was to make
annual provision of fund to be ap-
piled to the construction of build
ing on some Federally owned site in
the District. In the event that the
Guard was given the Pension Building,
it would be several years before it could

+, take it over, as the General Account
! ing Office could not be forced out I'M
| til provision is made for it in a new
| building in the Avenue triangle of Gov
eminent buildings.
The visiting troops also will find out
that the local troops have no place for
recreation in the buildings assigned to
them for training purposes. They can
not even smoke in the buildings because
of the fire hazard, and this will bring
up the problem of preventing the
visitors from smoking while occupying
the quarters. 1t was said that very
close watch will be kept in the build
ings while the troops are here in order
to prevent the outbreak of a fire.
Only four consecutive absences are
permitted the members of the 29th
Division headquarters troops before they
are ordered up for court-martial. An
accurate check is kept, and in the
weekly paper of the organization the
members can see how close they are to
the bar of military justice to answer
for their consistent lack of interest in
the military duties which they assumed
on enlistment in the organization. AS
a result of this system charges have
been preferred against two members of
the organization and they are awaiting
trial
There are seven men in the 29th
Division Headquarters who have a rec
ord of having attended every drill
since enlistment, and are being held up
to their comrades as suitable examples
for emulation. especially to those who
are getting close to the four black
marks which mean appearance before
the summary court officer, with the
accompanying cut in the pay check If
they are found guilty of unauthorized
absences from drill The top liners
are Schmidtman, with 81 consecutive
drills to his credit; Gleason, Sc; Burke,
40; Gotthardt, Al; Robertson, So, and
McAninch, 33.
The enlisted personnel of the Division
Headquarters units have formed club
to handle the social and recreational
affairs of the organization and to act
Tor the units outside of their military
performances. The following officers
have been elected: President. Sergt.
Schmidtman vice president, Sergt.
Cooper: secretary. Corpl. Mccoy: treas
urer, Sergt. Wilson; sergeant-at-arms,
Pvt. Lynch
In his inaugural address President
Schmidtman said the purpose of the
organization was to promote a better
spirit in the organization, encourage
good fellowship, better attendance and
efficiency and to better the outfit in
general
The name selected for the organiza-
ton was "DHQ Club" Commissioned
officers of the detachment were made
eligible to membership in the club, with
all the rights anr privileges enjoyed by
the enlisted personnel except that Of
holding any Office in the organization.

Kitchen Ware of Aluminium.

The beauties and conveniences of
aluminium need not be dwelt upon for
they are too well known; but utensils
of solid aluminium lack durability,
owing to the liability to damage in
use by knocks and falls. A successful
method of applying aluminium in the
shape of plate has been devised and
this will enable the manufacturer to
turn out an article which will have the
lasting qualities of aluminium with the
strength of Steel The process will also
result in some economies. In the in
dustries the value of this discovery will
be much greater than in the house
hold. 1t is the discovery Of a profess
sor in the University of Illinois.

Some difficulties having arisen as
to the payment of administrative func-
ton pay of units divided between
States, the War Department has I'M
dertaken to clarity the matter. Adj
ministration function pay is special
allowance made to commanding officers
of units for the extra duties involved.
The War Department says that since
prerequisites for administrative func-
ton pay are that the officer shall COM
mand the organization and perform the
Administrative duties III COHHeCClOn
Herewith, both these factors must be
determined in the case of split units
Separate battalions and battalions To-
Gated in different States from the re-
mainder of the regiment are entitled
to administrative function pay. When
an officer of the regimental headquar-
tiers senior to the officer commanding
the battalion is federally recognized in
the State with the battalion, he does
not necessarily become the command
ing officer of the battalion nor does he
become the commanding officer of the
regiment. Nor can it be said that COL
onel federally recognized in State
which has organized but one or two of
the battalions of his regiment commands
the regiment or the separate battalions.
If State authorities in the cases above
mentioned desire the lieutnant colo
mel or colonel to command the units of
his regiment in the State in which he
is located, it is necessary that the
proper affirmative action be taken by
the State to so designate him, attach
ing him to the unit for the purposes of
command and directing his perform
ance of the administrative functions.
Such action will be considered as def
nitely prohibiting the battalion COM
mander from qualifying for the admin
istrative function pay.

be given another opportunity to seek
promotion by commission in the Infan-
try branch, 1t was announced at brigade
headquarters. A board has been ap-
pointed, to consist of Lieut.. Col. Charles
B. Elliott. U. S. Infantry, one of the
instructors assigned to the local Guard:
Maj. Edward H. Grove, Infantry, and
First Lieut.. Joseph j. Greenlaw, Medi-
cal Corps which will conduct examina-
tons of candidates, beginning March
10 and continuing on consecutive drill
nights until completed The examina-
tons will be open to any enlisted man
In any unit, and the applications, on
special forms provided by brigade head
quarters, must be filed there before
March IA next. There will be a va
cancy in the Military Police Company.
1t is apparent that some of the ar
mories of the Guard have been used for
purposes which have met with the dis
approval of the powers in the brigade
headquarters, for an order issued last
week says that hereafter no authority
will be granted for use of any of the
armories of the National Guard of the
District of Columbia by other than Ma
tional Guard units except upon written
request made to this headquarters and
approved in writing. All such requests
will originate with the organization de-
string to use the armory and will be
submitted with recommendation of the
officer in charge of the armory."
Pvt. Estanislao B. Martinez has been
transferred from the active to the re-
serve list of the 29th Division Military
Police Company.
Three organizations of the local
Guard succeeded last week in getting
in the 80 per cent class, which gave
them designation of superior in at
tendance. according to the weekly tab
ulation issued by brigade headquarters,
but one of them, the goth Division Mill
tary Police Company, just slipped over
the line, having 5000 per cent attend
ance to its credit The other two or
CARNATIONS were the Headquarters De-
tachment, goth Division Special Troops,
which topped the list with 100 per
cent, and the Headquarters Detach-
ment, 260th Coast Artillery, which
showed up with 90 per cent. The Head
quarters Detachment, 29th Division Spe-
cial Troops, has been in the superior
group nine times during the present
drill year, and it leads in this respect
also, its nearest competitor being the
Medical Department Detachment, 26Oth

top group seven times. Only two other
organizations of the Guard have so far
