Through the combined efforts of Col.
G. ID. Heron, executive officer for Re-
serve affairs in the War Department,
and the Reserve Officers' Association OF
the United States, the department has
established ruling that Is of the great
est Importance to the morale of the
Organized Reserves. Under the provi-
sions of this ruling, Reserve officers be-
low the rank of colonel transferred to
the Auxiliary Reserve will, providing
they are qualified through examination
and length of service, be promoted to
the next highest grade. The Auxiliary
Reserve is composed of those officers
who have attained the age of "a years,
those who have served 20 years or more
and requested transfer thereto, or those
not physically qualified for active duty.
Prior to the establishment Of this rul-
ing once Reserve officer was in the
Auxiliary Reserve there was denied to
him the opportunity OF any further pro-
motion.
Within the past several years several
efficient Reserve officers of the District
have been transferred to the Auxiliary
Reserve due to the fact that they had
reached the age of ga years. In every
case these officers were physically ca
pable of assuming command in the
field If an emergency had occurred, but
due to the regulations they were trans
the Auxiliary Reserve, which status de-
MED them an opportunity of promotion.
Reserve officers of the District coming
under the new ruling will be interested
to learn that if below the grade of col
onel and If otherwise qualified through
examination and length of service, they
may be promoted to the next highest
grade.
A number Of Reserve officers from the
District who will 60 to camp within the
next few weeks are in doubt as to the
proper voucher to file for longevity pay.
In submitting the flrst voucher tor
longevity pay properly authenticated
statement of service to support the
voucher will be attached. The state
ment of service should be obtained by
the Reserve officer from the proper
authority, e. e., of Army service, from
the Sd Corps Area commander; of naval
service, from the Navy Department: OF
National Guard service, not Federal
from District of Columbia National
Guard authorities, etc. Request upon
the Sd Corps Area commander in Balti-
more for statements of. service should
be for Army service only and should be
made on the blank form provided and
only when the total net credit Is be-
lieved to amount to at least three years.
If the necessary information is not
available at Baltimore, the requests will
be forwarded to the adjutant general of
the Army, who will prepare statements
of service and forward them to the
corps area headquarters at Baltimore
for transmission to the Reservists ap-
plying for same.
District Reserve officers should bear
in mind that service as a warrant off,

EARTH'S RISE AND FALL
SEEN AS CAVES ORIGIN
Howard Professor Makes Report te
Association for Sciences
Advancement.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, lP).--The
origin of caves Is ascribed to rising and
falling OF the earth's surface by Prof.
w. M Davis of Harvard.
Caves. he says in report to the
Southwestern Division of the American
Association for the Advancement Of
Science, show evidence of forming by
dissolving OF solid limestone in water.
This occurs while the land Is below
the ground water level.
Millions of years later when earth
movements have elevated this land
above water level the caves stand for
ages, slowly refllling with the materials
produced by calcareous dripping.

TOO NICE
By Alice IudSOn Peale


 Among nice people. children, especially little girls. are frequently brought up 10 be entirely too nice.
 They gre taught to be disgustel by altogether too many things. They are taught to shrink from the sight of death, from blood, from dirt and grimc, to regard many es- scntial physical things as rcvoltinS.
 This over-cultivation of disgust is unwholcsome, II tends to unfit the individual 10 meet with sanity and balance not only the emer- gcncies but mlny of the inevitable situations of human existence.
 Motherhood is surely an impor- tant part of a woman's life an1 she who applies aesthetic standards to it's physical aspects suffers from d conflict which is as unintcllige0t as it is updignificd.
 The function of aesthetic refine mcnt is to sharpen ones pcrCcpuo1 Of the beautiful and 10 add grace 70 daily existence, but an insistence  where they serve only to set tho individual at odds with clements in his own nature or with unavoid- able external facts merely invites serious maladiustnents in relation 10 basic life situations.
