The New Year saw inaugurated in
the armory of the United States Naval
Reserves of the District of Columbia
a complete radio sending and receiving
station in charge of Lieut.. c. A. Briggs
Station NED, the local communication
reserve drill station, has for some
months been at the home OF Lieut.
Briggs. where he has his own set, but
with the aid of Lieut.. w. F. Hinckley
U. S. N, inspector instructor of the
local reserve battalion, material has
been acquired here and complete
station, made with naval equipment
has been set up in a radio shack at
the local armory and will be used every
week for the purpose of training young
men in radio and naval procedure in
the handling of communications, SO
that in time of war the Navy would
have available large force of expert
radio operators.
Recruiting for the communication
branch of the Reserve, it was said, has
not been as active as those In charge
would like to see. For the most part,
it was explained, efforts in the past
have been confined to trying to interest
In the organization amateur radio oper-
ators who have their own sets, but il
was found that most of these young
men preferred to stay at home and
tinker with their apparatus rather than
attend drills in naval communications
work
However, plans now are being formu-
lated to interest in the work of the
organization many young men desiring
to study radio communication but who
have no equipment available or means
of getting training. Such of these young
men as may enlist in the local COM
munications Reserve will receive instruc-
ton at the Navy Yard Armory every
Thursday night in code sending and
receiving. and while engaged in this will
also receive technical instruction In the
operation and maintenance of radio sets
of all kinds used In communication
work in the naval establishment.
Officers point out that it will furnish
an excellent opportunity for young men
to not only receive training in radio
communication work, but also will nro-
vide naval training which will fit them
for service in the naval establishment

emergency In one of the most i'm

These recruits also will be taught how
the business Is handled and will be
shown the methods of operating and

Constructive Public Loans

The ',self-liquidating loans plan of the governments Reconstruction Finance Cor poration seems to be getting into action. Applications for such construction loans have come from 243 communities during the last two months. The loans requested amount to over S800.000,000. and they would apply on projects whose total cost is around S4.000. 100000. These projects would provide work for more than l.000.- 900 men directly and perhaps 100000 more indirectly. The Finance Corporation is authorized to lend $l,500.000,00 for such purposes, which would accomplish al- most as much again.
 The applications come from almost every state. Those reported include l07 water works, 27 bridges. B irrigation systems, four slum rehabilitation projects. two tun- nels, three airports and car ferry. Three typical loans already granted are to the Met ropolitan water district of southern Califor- mia, for a bridge across the Mississippi at New Orleans and for enlargement of the municipal light and power plant in Mad ison. S. D.
 This is probably as good way to fight the business oepfeSSion as any yet ueViSeo' provided there is quick action in granting the loans and putting the money to work. Com munities thus go little farther into debt: but it is better for them to borrow money for constructive projects that will repay their own cost, and thereby to provide em- ployment for their needy people, than to support those same people in dleness. The people to whom the money goes nearly all prefer 1t, too.

A Book a Day
by BRUCE CATION
Sees High Art in Swift Drama
 Of Bull Fight

Ernest Hemingway has written Death in the Afternoon" to tell people who have never seen them just what bull fights are like.
 He has seen some 30 of them himself, and he has found in them a strange sort of art-an art which is impermanent, misunderstood and bloody, but which, he insists, is nevertheless significant.
 To begin with, he explains, the bull fight is not simply a contest between man and bull. in the sense that a prize fight is a contest be- tween two boxers. It is a carefully staged, elaborately formalized trag- edy in which the inevitable death of the bul1 is the high moment the moment of truth" as the Spanish call 1t.
 The bull fight has three parts First the bull faces the picadors who are on horseback. He drives them from the ring and has his moment of triumph. Then come the banderilleros, who fix barbed sticks in his shoulders, tire him and leave him for the matador.
 The third act brings the matador alone into the ring with him; the matador must master him with his bit of colored cloth and must final ly, at the risk of his own life, bring him into the position where he can be killed with sword thrust.
 MT Hemingway's book may not persuade you that bull fighting Is great thing. But I am sure you will find the book uncommonly in- teresting all the way; one of the m ost interesting, and surely one of the most excellently written books of the whole year.
 Published by Scribners, the book sells for $3.50.
