The Bureau Of Navigation of the Navy
Department has called to the attention
of Reserve officers the regulations re-
garding correspondence. 1t was pointed
out that the bureau constantly receives
communications addressed direct to the
bureau without having gone through the
proper Official channels. All officers
are advised, says the bureau statement,
that official correspondence must be
forwarded through their respective COM
handing officers, and by them to the
district commandant. In several cases,
it was said, the forms Of letters have
been decidedly informal.
Rapid growth in the numbers Of per-
sonnet of the Communications Reserve
are indicated by figures Just made pub
lie by the department. The Communi-
cations Reserve is made up Of amateur
radio operators, as well as professionals.
On June 80 last, the report says, there
were 1850 persons In the communica-
tions branch, as compared with 1,825
on June 80, 1890. This Is q net gain
for the year Of 1,l27 men, or an average
Of % men per month.
The Navy Department views with
qualification the reports that with the
resumption Of the regular radio drills
of the Communications Reserve 100 per
cent station attendance was indicated
at the first drill Of the year.
The Navy Department has an
nounced that as the present supply OF
the navigation correspondence course
has been exhausted no more new apple
cations for this course will be approved

issue.
Figures show that on September so
156 officers and men were taking the
course.
In order to bring the requirements
for q merchant oficers license, as far
as concerns navigation, to conform more
nearly to the navigational requirements
that are expected OF Reserve officer.
tentative plans have been made to
bring to the attention Of the Steamship
| Inspection Service of the Department
Of Commerce those cases where wide
divergence exists between Navy and
merchant methods. The department
said that 1t is hoped the two can be
brought more nearly to coincide, and
that the suggestions will be Of benefit
to the merchant marine.
It was announced that q prominent
company, operating two lines of vessels,
has recently, through its operating
manager. issued orders to all its COM
handing officers and advises all officers
employed by them TO take the bureau
correspondence course on navigation.
The number of officers enrolled In the
navigation course is rapidly increasing.
and the above order, II other companies
| follow the lead, 1t was said, viii result
in very appreciable increase OF mer-
chant marine officers.
It Is very desirable, from the Nays
point Of view, that merchant marine
officers be familiar with Navy methods
of celestial navigation. While the mer-
chant officers are declared to be thor
oughly competent navigators, 1t Is felt
that the Navy, through its photographic
office, has an unusual opportunity for
research and development Of shorter
and more accurate methods than are
generally in use afioat. It can there
| fore do something for the merchant
officers. 1t was said. in bringing to their
attention the methods that are con-
sidered the best and are in general use
/ by the regular service. The Navy has
| for some time discontinued the use Of
some sights that are still used by mer-
chant officers, such as time sights, hav-
| ing found that lines of position serve
the purpose much better. There has
been, in fact, wide divergence between
the methods in use by the merchant
service and the Navy.

ing iron beams with an autogene. The
glaring flame reminded Cribkov of
the Southern sun. He begged them
to teach him how to do it, and thus
he became a solderer.
He was taken into the solderers'
commune of Young Communists that
called itself after the name of Max
Hoelz The commune was a shock
brigade--it wanted to show the work
ers in the plant how genuine bolshe-
'viks worked. In the course of two
months the commune surpassed the
average labor efficiency by AZ per
cent. The old workers grumbled at
first, and then they were offended
at the boys daring to teach them how
to work properly. At last. they could
not stand it any longer; and a mighty
wave of socialist competition rolled
through the plant.
Gribkov worked steadily on He was
struck with the consciousness of the
young communists, each of whom
worked not after the manner of hired
hands, but as partner In socialist
construction. Their work was inspired
with genuine enthusiasm, Gribkov
already knew Lenin's words, that So
Wet Socialism means Soviet Power
plus Identification. 80
Half a year passed. Gr1bkov had
become the best worker in the COM
mune, the best member of the shock
brigade. He joined the Young Com I
munist League. and went to the
Workers Faculty, preparing to be-
come a transport engineer.
Sometimes he yearned for thd
smoke of locomotives, for the widd
horizons of new places. Then thd
brigader Stein would carefully watch
Gribkov and soothe him, while thd
comrades would make efforts to del
tract his thoughts from the long gon}
past.
In autumn, 1890, seven hundred Of
the best in the shock brigades wer}

he, for some reason, did not dres

the factory he had left; concerne
about whether the comrades woul
not slacken their tempo of work
