The 1st Battalion, United States
Naval Reserve Of the District OF
Columbia, will complete its annual in
spection before Christmas Of this year.
A notice was received this week from
the president of the board saying that
1t would look over the local battalion
on December S. Formerly the local
outfit used to have its inspections in the
late Spring, but starting this year, the
inspection was held in February, and
now another one will be held in Decem-
Der. While this gives two in calendar
year, nevertheless there is only one Tor
each fiscal year.
The notice gives the local battalion
six drill nights in which to prepare for
this inspection, which is the annual test
conducted by a board of regular naval
officers to determine the state OF pre-
paredness of the Reservists to take
their station aboard ships of the various
fleets in time of national emergency.
Lieut. Harold E. Richardson, COM
mander of the local battalion, said that
no special preparations will be made for
til. inspection. He pointed out that
eince the receipt of the report on the
last inspection, the organization had
been going ahead N an effort to correct
faults found at that time. He spoke
particularly of the finding that the local
organization was deficient in first aid
training for personnel. The medical
officer. since that time. has been con-
Quoting regular courses in first aid.
and various divisions have assigned
men to take the course.
While the report found that the naval
Reserve divisions for the country at
large were deficient in signal training.
it did not especially point out such
deficiencies in the local battalion. Never
theless, Lieut.. Richardson said, ne hao
taken steps to have all Of the men
thoroughly instructed In the naval
methods Of visual communication. For
this purpose, not only has the signalling
apparatus in the armory been improved,
but a mast has been stepped on the
training launch so that when the men
20 out on their week end trips cons1d.
erable work can be done in signal
training.
Although every step will be taken to
have the battalion at a high state OF
efficiency by the time the board arrives:
Lieut.. Richardson said that the usual
drill routine will be carried out. He
said that preparations would not be
allowed to interfere with the work OF
the Examining Board which will have
before it during the next several months
a number of men who Rave been recon-
mended for examination to determine
their fitness for promotion to the next
higher grade in the Reserve organiza.
ton. The examinations are to be started
within a short time. They require con-
siderable detail work on the part of the
members of the board. as owing to the

There's no arguing the fact that the
home circle today is the steering Wheel.
Day by day in every way milady
Is acquiring that sixth sense known
as the ability to anticipate what's going
and more to her daily driving. Only
the other day I was riding with
woman who kept farther behind the
car ahead than seemed necessary. Her
explanat ton was that when following
another machine she has less OF
warning of any sudden need for stop
ming, She goes on the theory that
even if the brakes Of her car are up
TO par and the equal of those on the
machine ahead she cannot stop her
car as quickly as the driver OF the
other machine, because she does not
get the order to stop as quickly. AS
a result she leaves an extra margin
Of stopping distance for safetys sake.
That furnishes a logical spot on the
bill for introducing the brief sermonette
to the effect that when the streets are
wet the wheels are encouraged to lock
and slide. not merely because there Is
less traction, but also because the
danpness tends to make the brakes
drag. Use the brakes carefully.

BALTIMORE, october 15-Four new
items-tires, glass in windshields and
windows, mufIler and operating license
have been added to the list of motor
vehicle factors to be inspected this
year during the "Save-a-Life" cam
paign, which started today and con-
tinues until November 30.
In announcing the inclusion OF these
factors in the annual inspection E.
Austin Baughman, commissioner OF
motor vehicles, said:
Heretofore we have required only
brakes, lights, horn, steering mechan-
ism, windshield wiper and rear-view
mirror to be in good shape. BY extend
ing the inspection we hope to insure
greater safety.
"No sensible person will deny that
much-worn tires, especially those with
the fabric showing, are extremely dan
gerous.
Cracked glass in windshield or win
dows Is also dangerous. Fragments OF
it may be dislocated by jar or a
strong wind and injure the occupants
of the machine.
"The muffler is not very important as
a safety factor, but when it Is noisy
it can be extremely annoying. The law
requires an adequate, that Is, silent
muffler."

Members Of the 1st Fleet Division, in
charge of Lieut.. J. M. Fewel, COM
manrler of that division, made week
end cruise down the Potomac last week
aboard the training launch. During the
voyage the men were given instruction
in plotting signaling, ect. Members OF
the Aviation Divieion went out yester-
day for training cruise.
A Marine Corps Reserve Aviation Di-
vision has been authorized for this city,
and it will be organized under the dl-
rection of Capt. Gilbert G. Budwig. 1t
was said that the new unit will base at
the Naval Air Station at Anacostia and
will use the planes assigned to the Naval
Reserve Aviation Division.
Special classes in engineering are be-
ing organized at the local Reserve head
quarters, under the direction OF Lieut..
Comdr. Walter c. Lockhart, chief engi-
neer. The former classes, it was said.
will be divided so as to give more spe-
cialized instruction for the engine and
fire room forces.
In order to give better training In
mechanics in this branch, complete
machine shop has been set up in the
local battalion so that the men may be
fought to make parts necessary for the
repair Of machinery, such as they would
have to do aboard cruising ship.

getting careless with the garden hose
as result Of trying to keep F1do out
of the bird bath. Water souirts over
spent all afternoon polishing. And Is
ne disturbed?
That makes a good picture. but for
the benefit of those who like to have
the facts I might add that if this ever
happens in your family the thing to do
is to take the chamois and wipe of the
car. The finish will then look better
than If it had not been wet.
Some of the cast-off accessories to
the home can be quite useful around
the car. A piece of an old dooT mat at
taohed to the running beard in bad
weather Is one way to keep the kiddles
from tracking mud into the car. A
worn bath towel makes perfect dust
or polishing cloth for the hood.
There's no use being puzzled when
the service man starts to worry over
whether your motor should have a hot
type of plug or cool variety. Plugs
are designed for motors which operate
at different degrees of temperature. If
the right heat type is not selected there
is sure to be inefficient motor action
even trouble.
Nor does a woman have to take any
ones word that a plug is hot type
when perhaps it is just the opposite.
She can tell by the length of that part
of the plug from the threads to the
points. The shorter the plug the cooler
it is. Do not judge this By the entire
length of the plug. The length OF the
rert about the threads doesn't count.
A cool plug should be used in hot
motor. That sounds confusing. As a
matter of fact. that should help you to
remember the distinction. You take a
cool drink on warm day and hot
drink when you're chilly. If your en-
CINE is one Of the newer ones 1t will
need a cooler type of plug though not
necessarily the most extreme in the
heat range. The spark plug makers
issue charts telling just what type OF
plug your motor requires. It is good
advice to follow.
Don't be too ready to have the engine
torn down II some mechanic tells you
the carbon on the points OF the plugs
proves your motor Is pumping oil. II
the plugs are too cool for the motor
they will carbonize. Cheaper to buy
new plugs.
This may come into the picture as an
interior trimming for the ultra-stylish
motor car and, if so, 1t will be just too
bad because the new fabric is said to
be lacking in serviceability. 1t is made
by first applying dots Of paint to silk
and by then blowing on fine rayon
fibers. The appearance Is of pile
fabric.
Perhaps you have not had occasion
to notice it. but invariably one side of
the car is warmer than the other. due
to the fact that the muffler ard eX-
hsust system are under that side. Re-
! member this when you put the Fall
picnic lunch into the car. It is even
better if this can be raised off the floor
ing, since the heat tends to spread over
the entire floor and may spoil the sand
wiches if your outing includes a good
deal of mileage.
