mating to q certain extent a certain part
of the "deadwood" In the Ofiicers' Re-
serve Corps. Certain members of the
appropriations committee have held the
opinion that 1t was unwise to maintain
an inactive list of Reserve officers. They
felt that If an off1cer was unable to
take training that he should be entirely
separated from the service.
Considerable discussionNhas been 60
ing OH In District of Columbia Reserve
circles as to the effect Of the change
made several months ago In the Army
Reserve policy concerning certification
OF Reservists for reappointment. 1t Is
explained that the technical branches
have never advocated entire exclusion of
military training for their personnel.
All of their Reserve officers, who are
destined to serve intimately with COM
Blatant troops, must take the requisite
amount OF training in order to At them
for their duties, but large proportion
of the technical ReServists. who have
military duties. are not regarded as re-
quiring repetition, year after year. of
the military training, for which they
have no use in the performance OF the
technical duties to which they are as
signed when called to the colors in the
grades which they will occupy.
This is the situation in which are
found the technical experts Of the Med
ical Department, the Engineers and the
other specialized services, and who, be-
cause of their daily activities in civil
life. acquire the same character. of
training that they need in order to
qualify them for their military assign
ment. In view Of the limited appro-
priations for training each year. this
revision also has an economical aspect
that permits the use of funds for the
younger class of Reservists. who really
need some basic military training. It
is claimed, furthermore. that had the
previous policy been rigidly enforced.
and had no change been made, it would
have resulted in the loss of some of
the most eminent and capable men who
now hold commissions In the Reserve
and who are so busily engaged in civil
ian practice that they cannot afford to
take correspondence courses and attend
camps In order to attain the necessary
credits. Though the new order Of
things has only been In effect q few
months. War Department authorities
have expressed themselves as entirely
satisfied with the situation and as con-
f1dent OF the improved conditions Of

Electric Bed Warmer.

The preparation Of the bed for the
sleeper by warming is a custom that
persists In parts Of Europe, probably
due to the fact that the houses Of
Europe are not heated as those of this
country. The method has changed
however. Instead Of the brazier carry
ing some glowing charcoal an electrical
device is now made use of. An air.
warming apparatus is supplied with
several feet Of coiled spring, which IS
placed between the sheets TO hold them

A Close Call for Ramsay
MacD Donald

Ramsay Macdonald, prime minister Of England
and leader Of the labor party in the commons had
to do something for the miners Of Great Britain.
Labor leaders introduced what is known as the coal
miners bill. 1t called for many reforms in mining
and provided for certain demands which the miners
had made in their many strikes for higher wages,
shorter hours, in order to bring about higher stand
ards Of living.
This bill was debated in commons. It aroused
fierce opposition on the part Of the employing class
Of Great Britain. A conservative member Of parlia-
ment introduced an amendment which would have
practically emasculated the labor measure.
When the showdown came the amendment was
defeated by only eight votes or 28l against 273 in
favor Of giving the Macdonald bill its second read
ing. A very close, a very dangerous margin to say
the least. Liberal members voted for the bill ami
liberal members voted against II. A majority how
ever, Of these followers Of Lloyd George voted with
the laborites and prevented the defeat Of the Mac
Donald government.
A very wonderful man is J. Ramsay Macdonald,
but he is skating on thin ice. That is. he is at the
mercy Of the liberals who hold the balance Of power.
