reached a point where it is ready to
meet the Regular establishment and
should be permitted to fire the big guns
on the same terms, so that there could
be comparison of the results.
Under the present system, it was said,
the Reserve organizations are required
to fire at very small target and shot
within a certain distance of it is
counted as a hit. However, those in
the Regular establishment have the big
targets towed out to sea for them and
they do not get credit for a hit unless
they do strike it. The morale and
spirit of the gun crews of the Reserve
organizations, it was contended by the
local officers, would be greatly increased
by the use of these targets.
While 1t was said that 1t is conceded
that the present practice is not eff
Gent and did not furnish a true pic
ture of what the reservists could do at
the guns. nevertheless it was claimed
to be impracticable for the Navy to get
these targets out for the Reserve as is

done for the ships in Regular commits
sion. No counter solution was offered
for the problem. The committee did
not even report out the resolution pre-
sented by the local delegates. The COM
nittee had on it four Reserve officers
who are on permanent active duty and
only three who were inactive. The
officers on permanent duty held the
balance of control and it is understood
would not permit the matter to get on
the floor for discussion.
Oficers, of the local organization
sought unsuccessfully, to get a deflni-
ton of mobilization efficiency, a matter
on which they are marked during the
annual inspections. This provoked a
long discussion, during which it was
pointed out that no one seemed to
know of what it consisted. 1t was in
dicated that the Reserve organizations
go out to sea annually on destroyers for
training, that they operate the shius
and are commended for the way they
perform their duty, but when marked
in the armory the results do not show
any of it. 1t is commended that If an
organization can take out a ship and
maneuver and operate it and make a
high gunnery mark. then it should be
rated high in mobilization efficiency.

summer training periods to foreign
norts also came up for discussion. The
iocai battalion officers have been seek
inc such cruises for some time, but
have not met with much success from
the department. It was pointed out
that as from 80 to so deStroyers are
ont. there Is no port near enough which
could take such ships in large group,
and special dispensation could not be
granted to few. 1t was said that Ber-
Tnuda and Havana do not have port
facilities and anchorages large enough
to accommodate such a fleet and of
course, an Europeon cruise would be
unavoidable in the space of two weeks
usually covered by the cruises.
Subsequent to the meeting it was in
dictated that the officers of the local
battalion would this year seek to have
the vessel dispatched to New York at
least for liberty. In favor of the for
eign cruises, it was pointed out that
much time is lost each year by the
heavy fogs when the ships are sent to
New England ports.

4 DEATHS BALK
PHYSICIANS

CHICAGO, June 10 0N.S0-
Postmortem examinations were
ordered today in an effort to
trace the mysterious malady
which has taken the lives OF
four of the five. stricken children
Of BENJAMIN McKittrick.
Medical scientists were unable
to account for the mysterious ILL
ness. Donald, 8 was the latest
to succuinb. Kenneth, g., was still
fighting for his life. Raymond,
3; Evelyn. S; and Paul, 10. had
died previously.
Physicians were convinced that
poisoning from some bacterial or
ganism is the cause of the deaths,
but the source could not be
traced. A germ physicians be
lieve may be responsible has been
isolated. The infection is thought
to have originated in the nose
and throat and, spreading, de
stroyed the red corpuscles Of the
blood.

Crying spells, INDUCED in by babies

OF this, we hesitate to suggest that one

oVerfeeding IN the case of a bottle babv
making huge weekly gains in weight; it
may be underfeeding in the case of a
preaSt-fed baby: fat indigestion in either
breast or bottle baby may be the seat
OF the trouble; or it may be caused by
nothing more serious than too long an
afternoon nap.
Many Of the things we want our chill
dren to do might be accomplished much
more easily II we made them seem like
treats Mrs. A. r. has discovered this
point OF strategy with her 2-year-old
daughter.
She writes: Last year we had to force
cod liver oil down our baby. This year
placed the bottle on the table and told
her when she had eaten the rest of her
meal she could have some. She thinks Il

The play idea has helped Mrs. j. N.

Either tangerines or oranges would be
