lions for its departure over the same
course for two weeks of training at sea
aboard the U. S. destroyer Hamilton,

Preparations also are being made to
take care of the officers and men of the
Headquarters Division on the annual

holds down the number of men who
may take the training voyages. 1t was
said that If 1t were not for these re-
strictions the local organization would
have no trouble in cruising at
least IS men for each division. The
limitation of billets on the ships as
signed for cruising duty under the new
system makes it imperative to place .
Limitation on the number of men with
each division. This has been placed at

division officers to keep within the
allowance.
Each man must have put in at least
"a drills during the six months previous
to the cruise. No man who has en-
listed within three months prior to the
cruise Is allowed to go, and no man

A NEW YEARS LETTER

Dear Readers: once more we shall have our story in the form of a letter, and of course the first thing I want to say to you is Happy New Year."
 The past year has been a sad period for many people. My heart has been heavy when I have thought of the great number of those out of work; but here we are. in bright new year, and it is likely that this year will prove much better that last.
 At the turn of the year, it is in- teresting to think of various customs about the calendar. A few hundred years ago our ancestors in Europe started the new year in the early part of the spring. New Years day. came on March 25 in England and Scot Hand. Tn 1900 Scotland changed the date to Jan 1. England made the change in 1725.
 We say that we are now in the year 1881, but If you were in China you might be told that this is the year 4G27. The Chinese count dates from q much earlier time than the birth of Christ.
 Mohammedans-in Egypt Arabia, Persia and elsewhere-say that thew are living in the year 1349. They started their calendar count with the year that Modammed left Mecca, his native city. to flee to another place in Aragia.

President Hoover Hears From
Committee; Permanent
Control Board Requested

The Federal Government should
transfer to the States jurisdiction
over all vacant, unreserved and
unappropriated" public lands.
amounting to 17,979,446 acres,
according to a report made to
President Hoover by his Commit
tee ON the Conservation and Ad-
ministration of the Public Domain.
This vast territory should be
made public domain in cases
where the States decline to as
sumo Jurisdiction over it, or fail
to make provision for it's admin
iStration within ten years after it
assumes the grant, the committee
recommends.
The entire public land problem,
including flood control and graz
ing. is dealt with in the report,
which asks for the appointment
Of a permanent board to select
and set aside forest reserves, res
ervoir sites, national parks, etc,
to remain under Federal control.
Requisite Federal legislation is
recommended for consideration
Of the next Congress. The report
says:
"The principle that the prob
lem of control is national and
regional as well as State, re-
mains the same and should be
recognized. 1t calls for CO

For the first time in history
sound motion pictures have been
made simultaneously of a radio
programs origin and it's recep-
tion at three widely separated
points. The Westinghouse Salute
of last Tuesday night, was broad
cast from the N: B. C. Times
Square studio within the glare
Of Broadway's lights and was re-
ceived in the gondola of a dirigi-
BILE floating over Los Angeles, in
a submarine cruising with the
United States fleet near the
Panama Canal, and 80 stories
underground in Mammoth Cave.
KY.
Engineers in charge of the
experiment reported highly sue
ceSSful results and the sound and
sight records are rapidly being
assembled for showing in motion
picture theaters throughout the
country. Radio engineers will
study these records to determine
the effects obtained from picking
up a program not only in the
air above the earth but within
the earth and in beneath the
waters as we'll. They will also
use these film records in expert
ments to perfect tone qualities
in radio and sound motion
picture apparatus. Much valua-
BILE data has been obtained it is
believed.
Samples of the recorded films
will be presented to the director
of naval communications, Navy
Department, Washington, for the
use of Government research en-
gineers.
Some days ago we wondered if
there were any band men who
didn't own $4,000 violins made
centuries ago. And up jumps the

adian Capers, who says, I'm tell
the truth. I've got a $57 fiddle,
bought in New York, and I still
owe SIG on it," Bravo!
Some of the special feature
events being planned by Columbia
include broadcasting by short

from the Leviathan, to let you
