nually by the commanding officers OF
the vessel on which the officers made
their annual cruises. Necessarily they
could only cover the period OF two
weeks during which the officers were on

this was not sufficient time for the ship
commander to form an opinion OF the
officers training or his ability.

d. c.. Naval Reserve

Active steps have been taken BY
Lieut.. Comdr. Finney Bascom Smith
commander of the LIST Battalion, United
States Naval Reserves Of the District Of
Columbia, with the assistance of Lieut.
Comdr. r. S. Field, inspector instructor
OF the outfit, to correct certain de-
f1ciencieS found during the recent re-
hearsal inspection. so that the organi-
cation will be in fine shape by the time
the inspection board composed Of regu-
lar naval officers, arrives on the scene
for the annual tests of efficiency.
Comdr. Field has devised q new
method for teaching signaling to the
enlisted personnel. Officers were not
ready to divulge the details, as it is
proposed to spring 1t as a surprise on
the men. However, it is declared to be
novel. and it is destined to make the
crew efficient in this work without any
of the ordinary drudgery of learning
A radio class has been organized for
the purpose of correcting defects in the
training of this branch, it was said, and
an electricians class also has been in
augurated Comdr Smith said that an
offer would be made to those in charge
of the volunteer communications Re-
serve of quarters in the naval Reserve
Armory in the Washington Navy Yard.
He said that he thought it would be
mutually beneficial to both the fleet
and volunteer communications branches
to have them joined together in their
training work. Comdr. Smith said that
the local Reserve had radio equipment
available which could be used by the
volunteers, and also they would have
an opportunity to see and examine the
intricate installations on the training
ship. the destroyer Abel P. Upshur.
The Navy Department is making
strong efforts to enlist in the volunteer
communications Reserve all amateur
radio operators and those interested in
radio, as communications are of the
greatest Importance in time of war. It
is for this reason that every effort is
being bent toward recruiting and train
ing large force of men who could be
relied upon to take hold of the great
increase in communications system in
cident to the development of a national
emergency.
Comdr Field is scheduled to deliver
a lecture to the battalion tomorrow
night on discipline in the Reserve, and
on January "a a veteran chief petty
officer, who served on sub chasers dur
ing the war, is scheduled to tell some
OF his experiences.
A new method Of reporting on the
fitness Of officers is to be inaugurated
in the local Reserve, on orders from
the commandant of the Washington
Navy Yard. Fitness reports on junior
officers Of fleet divisions will be pre-
pared by the fleet division commanders
and then will be sent to the battalion
commander for remarks and thence to
the commandant. The report on the di-
vision commanders will be prepared by
the battalion commander.
This new method, it was said, will
give the Navy Department better in
sight into the efficiency of the officers
than 1t has at the present time, and the
reports in an officers jacket at the de-
partment will show clearly his train
ing and ability so that appropriate duty
can be picked for him in time of war.

Poor Eyes Hinder Study, Lead to
Failure, Asserts Expert.
BIZ Science Service
NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Tests of
vision and of eye muscle balance
and eye inspections should be made
part Of every physical examination
of the school child, Mildred c.
Smith, director of nursing activities
of the National Society for the Pre-
vention of Blindness, advised at the
annual conference of the society,
which opened here Today.
Such tests and inspections will re-
veal any eye defects and lead to
their correction. This not only will
improve the child's physical condi-
ton, but his mental hygiene as well.
The child, hampered by poor vision
in his attempts to learn while at
school, not only will fail in his
classes, but is likely to develop I'M
fortunate mental and personality
traits. Before he starts to school,
therefore, he should have his eyes
thoroughly examined and any de-
fects remedied as far as possible.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The
chief justice of the United States
is "the most important judicial Of
f1cer in the world" according to
Charles Evans Hughes, shortly to
assume that Office.
Hughes, lawyers lawyer" for
mer associate justice, Ex-Governor
of New York, and unsuccessful can
didate for the presidency, will as
sumo the heavy black robes Of the
courts chieftain, Feb. "a. Senate
confirmation of President Hoo
ver's nomination of Hughes, to re-
place William Howard Taft, virtu-
ally is certain.
The supreme courts decisions are
law, and the courts rules guide ev-
cry legislative body in the nation,
and some outside. The pope Of
Rome, in an encyclical the other
day, cited supreme court decision.
The court, presided over by the
88-year-old Oliver Wendell Holmes,
acting chief justice, now is in recess,
working on pending cases. So
Hughes probably will not take the
oath of Office until it reconvenes
Feb. "a, and not until then will his
$20500 salary start.
The chief justice socially quarrels
with the Vice-Pres!dent and the
Speaker of the house for the ra:!1
next to the President. The execu-
tive, legislative and judicial branches
are coordinate and mutually indie
pendent, in law, but ranking can
not be made to conform to the Con-
stitution at formal dinners.
Hughes will be the eleventh chief
Justice. He will be the Oldest man
ever to assume that Office.
An unofficial duty" of consider
able interest that goes with Hughes
Job is that of attracting the thou
sands Of tourists who visit the cap
itol daily. The capitol guides hope
that with his imposing forehead and
famous bushy beard, neatly parted
in the middle, and his famous, al
most successful, presidential cam
paign in 1916, Hughes will prove as
successful as Chief Justice Taft was.
The appointment, however, will
remove Hughes from the frequent
contacts with the public which he
has enjoyed in recent years.
Hughes is in good health, and
should have at least ten years of
active life ahead. The Oldest man
ever to sit on the supreme bench,
Oliver Wendell Holmes, now is twen-
ty years older than he.
