that the ability to portray charac-
tiers on the screen and stage cannot be
learned in schools. The Columbia Pic
lures star, now appearing in Ten Cents
"a Dance" believes that knowledge Of
and experience with life and seasoning
in the acting of roles Is the only path
to idealize 1t for the stage. It Is some
thing more than mere acting.
IT do not mean, however" she says,
that the many hours of time spent by
thousands in dramatic schools Is
wasted. Schools give excellent ground
work and theoretical training, but
sometimes it takes years to 1T one to
apply that training-and always the

OF particular interest to Washington,
perhaps, is the news that many OF the

extraordinary results obtained, but for
the fact that no mishaps occurred TO
mar the hazardous venture. Many
times in the jungle tragedy was mar
rowly averted. Tropical feverS also af-

times and stayed the progress of the
picture. But after travelling q total

the company eventually returned TO

Audiences thrilled by the vivid jungle
scenes and the amazing shots Of savage
tribes and feroctous animals encoun-
tered in the long trek through the
African hinterland, will agree that the
safe return of the expedition is yet
another reason for terming this
miracle picture.

To avoid ordering physically UNIT
Reserve personnel TO active duty, ar
rangements are being made, in so far
as practical and economical, for the
physical examination, prior to the COM
mencement of the active duty period,
Of Reserve officers of the territorial as
signment selected for or ordered to
active duty, other than at general and
special service schools, where the travel
involved warrants such examinations.
These physical examinations, however,
will not take the place OF examinations
to be made Immediately upons reporting
for active duty, as required by para
graph 81, Army Regulations No. 1905.
In connection with the Summer train
ing of the Reserve component Of the
Army Of the United States, corps area
and department commanders have been
instructed by the War Department to
utilize the training funds at their dis
poSal so that at least 80 per cent of
the Reserve officers trained shall be of
the various arms. The proportion Of
of1cers OF field grades to be ordered to
duty in the 1892 fiscal year by corps
area and department commanders will
not exceed 10 per cent of the total num-
Der Of trainees. Field officers ordered
to active duty will be employed to the
fullest extent In the conduct Of training
and tactical exercises and every effort
will be made to train the maximum
number Of captains and lieutenants.
In view OF the large number Of Re.
serve ofncers applying for active duty
each year and the comparatively lin
tied amount Of funds available for the
purpose, the following factors viii be
taken into consideration in selecting
Reserve officers for active duty training.
These factors are: (a) Interest shown
in inactive instruction during the closed
season either by attendance at confer
ences and unit schools or by pursuing
extension school courses in preparing
for active duty training. OBJ Number
Of periods Of active duty during the last
five years, those having the least to be
given preference.
