Reserve officers of the District of CO.
| lumbia will be interested in ruling last
week of Mai Gen. G. H. Bridges adJu-
tant general of the Army with respect
to prior service For example, a Re-
serve officer (whose grade eligibility for
original appointment in the Infantry
Reserve was second lieutenant), APP
pointed as a first lieutenant, Medical
Administrative Corps Reserve, December
IS, 1925, who accepted December "a,
1925. is transferred to the Infantry Re-
serve July IS, 1929. His service from
December "a, 1925, to December "a,
1928, (three years. made him eligible In
point Of service under the requirements
Of the regulations. That service, having
been credited for the purpose OF trans
fer cannot again be credited for the
purpose of promotion, as to do so would
give him an advantage over one who &C
ceptS original appointment in the re-
stricted section and must serve the re-
quired number of years to establish
eligibility for each successive promotion.
Although this policy has heretofore
been strictly enforced by the War De-
partment, recommendations for promo
ton in behalf of Reserve officers indi-
cate that this principle is not clearly
understood. To avoid misunderstanding
in the future, the War Department de-
sires that hereafter in each application
for transfer between sections, or for APP
pointment under paragraph 8b 90,
Army Regulations 1908, where prior
service is credited to acquire eligibility
for the transfer, or appointment in any
section, the applicant will be informed
that service so credited cannot be used
in determining eligibility for promotion.
There will be no class in equation at
Fort Myer today.

health, who found the poem, philosophy
and music an excellent mental bracer
for starting the day. Il
Each of his listeners, Cheerio says,
has a definite idea Of what he looks Ike,
and for each person that mental pic-
ture is Cheerio. He does not wish his
photograph, or q description of himself,
to be printed, for he feels that the acl
tual Cheerio vanisheS the moment the
program comes Of the air, and that his
own personality IS something entirely,
apart from the real Cheerio. II
That may sound rather involved, but
what am getting at Is that Cheerio
does not wish to have the illusions of
any Of his listeners disturbed by any
intrusion of himself. He knows that he
has sometimes been called he Polly
ana" and doesn't mind In the slightest
degree, for he also knows that he has
shown thousands how to begin the day
in a pleasant frame of mind. He has
dozens of letters from people who say
he has cheered them from illness into
health. Fifty-one thousand people in q
month wrote him letters begging him to
continue when he asked them what they
thought about his going on the air.
And so he will keep on giving his radio
audience the daily mental pat on the
back" indefinitely. T.

j., Franklin, N. Y.
A. The announcer Is Kelvin Keech,
and I can't imagine what makes his

around the studios. He was born in the
Hawaiian Islands, was graduated from
Franklin and Marshall College in Penn
| Sylvania, put In q year in vaudeville,
| singing and playing the ukulele, served
in the United States Signal Corps on
| the Somme front during the war, taught
| the Prince of Wales to play the ukulele,
and was q radio artist in England be-
| fore returning to America, where he
shortly became an announcer.
Q. Can you tell me what instrument
VIII Osborne plays?-A. J. Paglino,
Washington, D. C..
A. I understand that he can play the
piano, but he never plays any instru-
ment in his broadcaSting orchestra. He
devotes all his time to singing and con-
Quoting.
@. What is the nationality of Martini
Provensen, the announcer? Has he a
brother?-M. Korsalow, College Station,
Tex.
A. He was born in Elkhorn, Iowa, of

ago.
@. Why did we hear what sounded
like an echo when Rear Admiral Byrd
spoke from New Zealand? Was the
the radio waveS?-M. D. ServisS, To-
ronto, Ontario.
A. Right the second time. The echo
effect, engineers tell me, was caused by,
| the fact that the radio short waves
| Travelled around the world In both di-
rections. It is farther one way than the
other, and although they speed at the
rate Of 10000 miles q second, the diff
ference between their times Of arrival

| great enough to be detected by the ear.
