BEER WAR
All is not quiet on the Western

All is not quiet on the Western
Front. -.
War! A real beer war of no
small proportions is raging on
Washington's own quiet Connec-
ticut Avenue. And like any well.
planned conflict, where barbed-
wire fences and entanglementS
are part of the strategy, this
war is not lacking in fences.
The fence in this case is a
long wooden fence, which later
will be replaced with a more
sturdy cement wall The battle
ground is the 4400 block Con-
necticut Avenue.
The conflicting forces are two
beer garden proprietorS and the
cause for which they are fighting
is bigger beers for less money,
and their ammunition is popu-
larity.
War correspondents who ven
tured into the territory, returned
with story something like this:
Until 80 sprang to prominence
on restaurant menus last April
z, Herbert Beck and j. N. West,
proprietors of a frozen custard
stand and hamburger emporium,
respectively, were the best of
neighboring merchants.
Beck stuck to his custard trade
and West to his hamburger busi-
ness.
Customers soon began demand
ing beer, however, and both re-
sponded with the installation of
the necessary spigots, glassware
and etcetera. The war was on
from that point.
Beck's trade began drifting to
his neighbor's establishment, and
vice versa. West lowered his
beer price to five cents per glass.
Beck also came down to a nickel,
but still retained a ten-cent price
on the larger glasses. Vests
straight five cent price proved
the greater attraction however.
A few days ago Beck decided
that two many customers were
parking on his side of the lot
and going to the West counter
for their beer, so he decided to
build a fence between the two
places Ito keep things straight"
He told West:
do you realize that nine cut
Of every 10 Of your customers
are driving on my property?
If they are on my property,
I'm entitled to serve them"
To which West is said to have
replied:
"It's their privilege to park
where they may, and buy their
beer wherever they like it best"

COURT SETTLES
CLOCK SUIT

Payment of $167 has ended a
battle over a grandfather's clock,
which started last summer in Dis.
trict Supreme Court. Mrs. Marie
Dent Carbon, to whom, the clock
was willed by Eugene c. MoXley,
who died last August, was the
winner in the contest.
Mrs. Carlon entered suit against
the w. w. Chambers funeral
establishment, complaining the
clock was taken by an agent of
Chambers from the Moxley apart
ment in the 100 block I st. N. W.,
and held as collateral for a SIT
funeral bill.
The clock, she stated, was pur-
chased 80 years ago for $1,000.
The ancient timepiece was valued
by a court appraiser at $3.50. The
funeral establishment gave Mrs.
Carbon a receipted bill for the
funeral charges and 500.

53 HOME LOANS
WITHDRAWN

Withdrawal of a considerable
number of applications to the
Home Owners Loan Corporation
is believed by officials of the
corporation to indicate that
prosperity is clearly returning.
In the District of Columbia, SO
home owners who had applied
for loans totalling $191,615 we're
withdrawn in the week ending
october 6, and three foreclos-
ures on homes were prevented.
In the nation as a whole, it was
said, 1900 applications for loans
sotalling $3,167,459, had been with
drawn. Thus far agents of the
corporation are said to have pre-
vented 1887 foreclosures.
Applications for loans are in
creasing, but the reopening of
banks, unemployment of house
holders and extension and refi-
nancing of mortgages are accepted
as indications of business i'm

Reorganization of the 1st Battalion,
United States Naval Reserves OF the
District of Columbia, has been ordered
by Rear Admiral H. v. Butler, COM
mandant of the Washington Navy Yard.
A formal memorandum issued by the
commandant says that he has received
the report of the inspection by the
Naval Reserve Inspection Board on De-
cember 5. last. The result attained, the
commandant comments. was very 1ar
from satisfactory, the board saying that
the battalion has made little or no
progress during the past year.
In order to promote efficiency. the
commandant's memorandum continues,
he has reorganized the officer personnel
of the organization, as follows
Battalion commander and staff
Lieut.. B. M Coleman, battalion COM
mander; Ensign J. R. Rowland, bat
TALON adjutant; Lieut.. Comdr. T. j.
Kennedy, medical officer; Lieut. (Junior
Grade) J. S. Hunt. assistant medical
officer; Ensign ]. w. Shultz, Supply
Corps, supply officer.
First Fleet Division-Lieut. (Junlor
Grade) R. w. Charles commanding Of
ficer: Lieut.. (Junior Grade) j. F. Car
penter.
Second Fleet Division-Lieut. J: F.
Moore, commanding officer; Lieut..
(Junior Grade) J. B. Cleland. jr.; En-
sign W. T. Henry, Ensign M. T. Young.
Third Fleet Divi5ion-Lieut. j. E. Sui
Ivan, commanding officer; Ensign D.
G. Wright, Ensign F. w. Lemly.
Officers of the battalion were reticent
when asked about the reorganization,
which came suddenly upon the receipt
of the Inspection Boards report. The
battalion was given its inspection
earlier than usual this year, but 1t was
generally believed that it had made
great progress during the year, special
plans having been made for the classes
of instruction for both officers and en-
listed men.
Every drill ordered by the board while
1t was at the armory on Inspection
night was carried out with dispatch,
except, perhaps, the battle problem.
, which was delayed somewhat because CT
the fact, it was explained, that the
/ Cf.ccr who had been planning 1t was
suddenly called cut Of the city, leaving
quick changes to be made.
No explanation has been made OF
the specific findings in the report OF
the inspection officers, who are; OF the
regular Navy, and the first iutimatlon
that many of the officers had that
trouble was brewing was the comman-
dant's order for the reorganization.
A change in the post of commanding
officer would have had to be made
any way, as Lieut.. Harold E. Richard
son, former commander, rendered his
resignation, because of the pressure OF
his private business affairs, few days
after the inspection board had exam
tned the work of the local battalion.
This is the first time since the World
War that such a drastic Reorganization
plan has been ordered by the co.nman-

any man going up for the respective
ratings should be able to answer, but
the percentage Of those examined so
far who have been able to pass these
tests is very low.
1t Is appreciated, the Bureau Of Nav
igation statement says, that conditions
under which the Inspection Board eX-
aminations are held are not always the
best. but In making up the questions
the board took that into consideration
and made them short and Of nature
that If the subjects were known they
could be answered quickly and in Q
few words.
The comparison Of the marks as
signed by the officers on the Examin-
ing Board and those assigned by the
Inspection Board are in practically all
cases at great variance, the bureau
says. If the men have studied the Bu-
reau of Navigation training course, 1t
was said, they should be able to salts
factorily pass the Inspection Boards
examination. The bureau announced
that it expects in the future that ex-
amining boards will examine the men
thoroughly and assign marks in &C.
cordance with the way questions are
answered, and that more attention will
be paid to this important factor Of ex-
aminations for advancement of EN-
listed men, and that they not be rated
until such time as they are actually
qualified.

dant of the Washington Navy Yard,
under whose jurisdiction the training
of the local reserves comes. During
the most of the years subsequent to
the World War the organizations COM
missioned personnel was made up
largely of officers who had seen active
service with the fleet during the World
War, but gradually they have resigned
or moved to other Jurisdictions. Now,
for the most part, the officer personnel
is mate up of men who have gradu-
atsd from the United States Naval
Academy. but did not accept ccmmis-
sions in the regular service, or who
left the service shortly after they were
commissioned, to enter private busi-
ness
Officers who have served with the
battalion explain that the Navy De-
partment is demanding so much time
from the officers, in addition to their
regular drill time, that it is almost i'm
possible to carry on their private af-
fairs and handle their naval work ef-
ficiently. For that reason, many of
them have been forced to give up the
training.
The Bureau of Navigation, Navy De-
partment, announced that it has noted
over a period of time the marks as
signed by examining boards conducting
examinations of naval reserve enlisted
personnel for advancement in rating.
In practically all cases, it was said,
the marks assigned for professional
subjects are rather high. Up until re-

Radio Notes

This is the eighth season of the
Canadian American Hockey
League, it having been organized
on Thanksgiving Day, 1926, and
again it is, in its old and original
form, with Canadian and American
representation. Quebec, out Of com
petition for several seasons, is on
the list again.
| mere are two new managers in
the Canaan hockey circuit this
| season. although one is a veteran.
Frank Carroll, former Springfield
pilot and championship winner Is
at the helm of the New Haven
Eagles. The other change is at Bos
ton with Art Chapman as the boss
Herb Gardiner remains with Phil.
adelphia, Roy Halpin at Quebec
and Billy Coutu at Providence.
Art Chapman, center ice man on
the Boston Club, is the only play
ing manager in the Canadian
American hockey loop. The job of
playing-manager in baseball is
tough enough, but it's tougher in
hockey trying to be the key man at
center and the director of strategy
] at the same time.
There is but one native-born
American on the roster of the New
Haven Eagles hockey team this
season. 1t used to be Robby Ro-
berts, goaler now with the New
| York Americans, but now it is Phil
| Perkins, left wing, who was with
Springfield last season. He was
born in Minneapolis.
Springfield, now out of the Cana
dlan-American Hockey League,
was the big winner of champion
ships in the seven years of the
| loop, with three titles. Providence
tok two. Boston one and Philadel-
phia one. Frank Carroll, former
Springfield mentor, Is now with
| New Haven, so the chances of the
Eagles look pretty good.
There will be plenty of brother
against brother battling in the
Canaan loop this season. The bro
theirs McCully are on opposite sides
with Providence and New Haven
and the brothers Doran are lined
up with Quebec and New Haven.
One of the few, ex-collegians in
professional hockey, Myles Lane, is
with the Boston Bruin Cubs this
season but has high hopes of NOV
ing into the big time before the
year runs out. Lane is on the de-
Tense and is big and colorful.
Frank Carroll, new manager of
the New Haven Eagles, halls from
Toronto and his love for Ontario is
reflected in his selections for his
squad. All of the boys are from
Toronto with the exception of Bud
| dy Maracle, who now resides in
Springfield, and Phil Perkins, who
was born in Minneapolis.
