ator Frazier (R0 of North Da-
kota.

LIEUT.. ROGER A. GARDNER
Sidi Writ Gardner Finds
Happiness as Army Wife

'"The Duke" The entire post Is
unanimous in declaring the two
the most popular and happiest
couple in the service. The charm
that has carried the former KAN
sas beauty through adventures
that rival tales of the Arabian
Nights continues to win all that
meet her.
Mrs. Gardner's first marriage
lasted but a short time. She
eloped when student at the
University of Kansas with Harry
Williams, a newspaperman Of
Hutchinson, Kan.
Divorce followed In a few
months and later, Sidi's father,
the late Edward l.. Writ, of Gar
den City, Kan, having lost his
money, the young girl went to
San Francisco where she met and
married Jack" Spreckels, son Of
the millionaire sugar manufac-
turer.
After their honeymoon the
two made their home in the. big
Spreckels m ansion overlooking
the Golden Gate; but despite
the beauty of the bride and
wealth and charm of the BRIDE
groom the marriage went on the
rocks and Sidi was suing again
for a divorce when her husband
was killed in a motor accident.
She inherited the bulk of mis-
fortune.
Married to Prince
Her marriage to the cosmo-
politan and fascinating Prince
Suad Shakir, of ConStantinople,
took place in Paris in 1924. This
marriage failed to bring Sidi the
happiness she sought and again
she applied for and received. her
freedom from matrimonial bo ads.
Wealthy and still beautiful but
bitterly disillusioned, Sidi re-
turned to the United States and
the West Coast, where a little
over two years ago she met Roger
Gardner, several years her junior,

their opportunities, asked the War
Department for a transfer to

Comdr. Smith said that everything
possible would be done to correct the
weak points found at the rehearsal
inspection.
While taking the members of the or
ganization through an intensive period
of training, it was pointed out by
Comdr Smith that he intends to keep
the instruction at such point that It
VIII keep up the interest, and with the
interest follows large attendance. The
organization now is experiencing the
largest attendance in its record, it was
said, and this has been largely due to
the fact that the citizen sailors have
been given plenty of practical work.
1t was indicated that the local off,
GERS have found that men loose some Of
their interest when the training is con-
fined to book study In the class rooms,
although the. Navy Department insists
that class room instruction shall form
an important part of the training dur
ing the drill periods Efforts will be
made to overcome this natural opposi-
ton to book instruction on the part of
the men by cutting down the period of
time required in classes. Every effort
will be made to have the citizen sailors
do much OF their book studying at
home, and the officers will be required
to come prepared for their lectures, so
that they will not have to read the
matter out Of the books. Some of the
monotony is expected to be taken out
of the instruction by this practice, it
was said.
The drills in every way will be made
as interesting as possible, 80 that there
will be no falling on in attendance.
At the same, time the men will be given
plenty Of action. 1t was indicated that
when the young men enlist in the or

Members of the 1st Battalion, United
States Naval Reserves Of the District
of Columbia, were informed by Lieut..
Comdr. Finney Bascom Smith, COM
mander of the organization, of the re-
suits Of the rehearsal inspection
through which the divisions were put
recently by Lieut.. Comdr. r. S. Field,
inspector instructor. and several other
officers. While generally the report
was excellent, there are. some matters
which. will have to be stressed in the
training program in an effort to put
the local organization at the top of the
list Of Reserve units throughout the
country when the annual inspections
are made by a corps of officers from
the Navy Department. ...,a u. =.
Those matters in which the organi-
cation were found deficient we're largely
in specialties, such as radio, signaling
and first aid. While the board Of in
spection officers 60 into every phase OF
naval training, it was pointed out that
as practical matter 1t is dififcult to
train the young citizen sailors in some
OF the subjects. because they are only
at drill for an hour and a half each
week. In the matter Of radio expert
ence it was indicated that this requires
q vast amount of practice in sending
and receiving, and there is not sufi-
ClcHS grill ClIne 10 perfect any OF the
men. However, the matter has to be
squarely faced by the officers of the
battalion, and they will take prompt
steps TO correct this defect by taking
two or three men from each fleet divi-
sion and assigning them to this duty,
and 1t is the hope. that they will be
fairly eficient by the time for the
annual cruises next Summer aboard the
training ship. -,
First aid has never been stressed
among the members of the battalion
generally. The organization has a
medical detachment, and this training
has been left largely to the members
OF this unit. However, as the inspectors
expect the citizen sailors to know this,
every effort will be made to teach it
to as many members of the battalion
as 1t Is possible to do before the annual
tests are given by the regular board
The matter of the deficiency in sig
mailing has caused some concern be-
cause of the criticism of the officers on
this point. Comdr. Smith pointed out
that on the annual cruises heretofore
the members of the signal gang have
been highly complimented on this very
important branch of naval work. How
ever, this matter. too, will be the sub
ject of intensive training, and every
effort will be made to correct the
deficiency noted.
