Hard Work Needed
Unfortunately not all business
leaders can boast Of the same
record this year. The reason may
) lie in what F'irestoHle has to say
for q cure for depression:
Good, hard work and read.

Boom Brings Waste
In periods Of great booms in
efficiencies creep in and when
there comes q time for q temper.
ary slowing down these wastes
aggrayate the situation.
Here's q case that was brought
TO my attention the other day.
A large corporation, engaged in
a nationwide business, is doing
nNOuv t4AC S6tkIO VUAuIlIS Oh 4UUSl"
ness as it was enjoying in 1928
and the prices received for its
services are about the same. The
volume, Of course, is below the
record aof last year. The differ
ence between now and 1928. is
that the company made good
money in 1928, but is not making
a dime this year.
q Don't Blame Depression
The depression certainly Is not
to blame. The reverse is the case.
It Is this sort Of thing that has
helped along the depression.
The fault must be In ineffi-
ciencies that crept in some time
between. 1923 and this year. When
these are eliminated this company
will again be in the ranks Of good
earnerS.
What is true Of this company is
probably true Of hundreds Of
other businesses that are not max
ing money this year.
These inefficiencieS are being
eliminated now. In many lines
they already have bGen removed,
Aas evidenced by earnings reports.

Navy day was observed by members
Of the LIST Battalion, United States
Naval Reserves OF the District OF Co
lumbia, last Monday with an inspection.
At that time Lieut.. Comdr. p. v. H.
WeemS. u. S. NJ, recently ordered here
as inspector instructor OF the organiza-
ton. was introduced.
During the day number Of Naval
Reservists volunteered for duty in the
Washington Navy Yard. While some
of them were used in decorating the
armory for the night festivities, others
were used as guides in the local gun
factory of the Navy. The men had
originally volunteered for duty aboard
the u. s. destroyer Abel p. Upshur.
their training ship, but the ship left
for Philadelphia as part Of the econ
omy program.
While there was no speaker for the
exercises at night, the oficers and men
put on a regular inspection for the visi-
tors. and this included signal drill and
loading drill by the enlisted personnel.
Following the formal exercises, several
boxing bouts were staged.
The departure of the Upshur for
Philadelphia has brought to the atten-
ton Of the officers the necessity of pro-
viding more training equipment for the
battalion. 1t was pointed out there is
need for a gun with which to train the
crews for the annual target practice in
the Summer. The success Of these tests.
it was pointed out, rests largely on
team work Of the full gun crew. and
there Is little time after the men get
on the training destroyers to fit them
selves for the practice.
When the ship was here, the firing
crews were trained aboard the vessel
at the guns which they were required
to fire during the target exercises.
Other means of training the crews in
ship drills also will have to be found,
since the removal of the Upshur has
taken away one of the training
mediums.
1t was announced that the Coast
Guard had selected the Upshur as one
of the destroyers which it will take for
its rum patrol force. This Is expected
to cut down the time when the crew
| will remain away from Washington, as
| it will not take as long a time to trans
| fer the ship to another branch of the
service as to put it out of commission,
as originally planned. Upon the trans
fer of the ship, the full crew will re-
turn to Washington, but will not be
Immediately placed on an inactive
status. 1t has not yet been determined
1t was said, what duty they will per-
form upon their return, but it was in
dicated that they might be used in
Frightening up the present armory
building, which is an old store build
| ing located on Eleventh street on the
edge of the Navy Yard reservation.
The approval given by the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
to a plan for the placing of the local
National Guard activities In the Pension
ONCE Building offers a ray Of hope To
the local Reservists. If 1t is decided
! that the Pension Building will house
all of the local Guard activities. this
will permit the transfer to the building
Of the 260th Coast Artillery, which
now occupies an armory on the water
front at Water and o streets south
west. This building was originally de-
signed for the use Of the Naval Militia

several years after the war 1t was used
by the Naval Reserve, but was taken
back by the Guard authorities when 1t
was confronted with troop housing

The structure has large drill hall.
a facility which the local ReserviSts do
not now have, and 1t has a long dock
where small boats can be kept for the
training of the citizen sailors, and can
be used later for the mooring of a ship
should it again be found desirable to
assign one here for the training of the
Naval Battalion members.
Jesse C. Arnold, one of the shipkeep-
ers of the crew of the Upshur. has been
relieved from active duty at his own
request and has returned to the city.
He was the ships bugler.
The Bureau of Navigation of the
Navy Department stated that the Naval
Reserve regulations provide that the
bureau will not consider that feet or
battalion headquarters division Is
maintaining its efficiency unless its per-
sonnet averages an attendance of ct
least SO drills in a fiscal year. This
amounts to so per cent of the total
number of authorized drills and periods
of equivalent duty for the year
It explains that an analysis of the
report of the activities Of the fleet and
headquarters division for a period Of
last year shows that IL out of the total
of 149 divisions fell below the minimum
requirements of the bureau in regard
to drill attendance.
1t is specifically noted by the de-
partmental division that all of the di-
VII AF
18th and 14th naval districts and Of
the District of Columbia had better
than so per cent drill attendance dur
ing the six months period.
Information has been received from
the naval station at Guam that an en-
listed man was transferred to class F-5,
United States Naval Reserve. He is the
first man, as far as the records show,
the Navy Department reports, who has
been transferred to this class, which
was established under the Naval Re
serve act of February %, 1925.
In connection with the annual in
spections of Naval Reserve organiza-
tons, the following officers have been
recommended for letters of commenda-
ton from the Secretary of the Navy:
Lieut.. Comdr. r. w. Ehrhardt Comdr
w. ]. Graham, Lieut.. Comdr. r. s..
Hedtler and Lieuts. H. A. Beswick and
F. w. Weld.
For the same reason, the following
have been recommended for commenda-
tory letters from the chief of the Naval
Bureau of Navigation: Lieut.. Ounior
grade) H. T. Haidt, Lieut.. Condr. F. j.
Bailey, Lieut.. Comdr. C. S. Leonard,
Lieut.. H Frericks, Lieut.. G. L. La Barge
and Lieut. Comdr. H. r. Harris.
The Bureau Of Navigation announces
that 1t recently distributed a supply Of
annual reports to be submitted to the
bureau by individual Naval Reserve Of
hcers. These reports are to be submit
ted annually as of July /, and will be
filed with the officers official records.
1t points out that the reports should
be prepared with care by Naval Re-
serve officers and signed by them.

CHURCH LOYAL
IN WAR, PEACE
PacifiSm Is Not SCripturaI,
Pastor Declares.

"a declaration to do away with
national defense and to say, mo
more wars is a procedure which is
contrary to the scriptures"
This assertion was made by the
Rev. Werner Kuntz, pastor of the
Grace English Lutheran church. In
sermon Sunday defending the
loyalty of the church to it's country.
1.-The true church of Jesus Christ
is a stranger to pacifsm. The
church, where 1t has abided by
scriptural principle, never has failed
to teach it's members to stand by a
country in peace and war. 1t never
has Haunted essential military pre-
paredness. It never has sought to
influence government in what is
purely government business.
THE very thought of brutal car
mage must be repulsive to every sin
cere Christian, but any civil gov
eminent is obligated to protect the
lives and property of its citizens"
he concluded.
