| States with a population Of 10000, 900,
he pointed out that in the World War
| 1t was necessary to recruit the Navy
| from approximately 4,300 officers and
10000 enlisted men to approximately
| 80, 400 officers and 497, 900 enlisted men.
Most types Of ships in the Navy are
not now fully manned" he said. "If
war is declared, additional ships now
in reserve must be used. Skeleton
crews must be formed, which further
depletes the trained personnel on ships
| in commission. Therefore, when war
comes, we find the ships operating with
| less personnel than in time Of peace.
, If we do not have trained Naval Re-
serves, then the gaps must be filed with
raw recruits.
$50 far as economy is concerned"
he continued, "we have only to con-
slider that the size of the burden Is the
ability to bear it. Regardless Of our
! wealth, regardless of our intelligence
and our courage, our Nation is as weak
as our Army and Navy"
The national commander said that
he has been informed that naval cir
cles are inclined to believe that any
agreement on armament reduction Is
remote and that the United States too
/ long has permitted a virtual lapse in
construction while other powers have
continued to build toward the treaty
limits"

Lieut.. Harold e. Richardson, COM
mander of the 1st Battalion, United
States Naval Reserves of the District
of Columbia, has rendered his resigna-
ton to the President of the United
States as an officer of the Reserve, it
was learned. The resignation has not
yet been accepted.
Lieut.. Richardson entered the Reserve
during the World War, and, after seeing
active service, affiliated with the active
reservists subsequent to the big con-
f1ict. He has been actively associated
with the local battalion in various
branches, having served as division
commander, executive officer and later
commander, upon the resignation Of his
predecessor, Lieut.. Samuel Stinemetz
Since he has been in command he has
inaugurated many training features
which have resulted in bringing the or
ganization to a high state of efficiency.
While successor will not be named
until his resignation is accepted, 1t was
pointed out that it has been the prac-
t1ce in the past to name the executive
officer to the high command. This
position now is held by Lieut.. John F.
Moore.
The battalion commander carried the
organization through its last annual
inspection, the report from which has
not yet been received. 1t is understood
that he desired to be relieved because
OF the pressure Of his private business
affairs.
Congress Is facing a strong fight from
various organizations to prevent any
curtailment OF funds which might pre-
vent using to the utmost the facilities
for the training of the United States
Naval Reserves. There Is a movement
to limit the number of drills for the
active fleet reserve. and this possibly
might be followed by a plan to curtail
the annual cruises. These were aban-
doned during the current year, but
there is hope that they will be pro-
Yided for during the coming Summer.
The local chapter of the United States
Naval Reserve Officers Association at
meeting started movement to bring
into the organization all present and
former members of the United States
Naval Reserve. While the fleet officers
have been active for some time, 1t Is the
purpose Of the new organization, under
the direction Of the president, Lieut..
James e. Sullivan, to have the officers
on the volunteer list join the association
and take an active part In the affairs
to fight against any plan to reduce the
size Of the organization, through cur
tailment of Federal funds.
The American Legion also Is taking
hand in the situation. Louis A. John
son, national commander Of the veter-
ans organization, said that, having re-
duced the bulwark of our Regular Army
forces to the point where 1t no longer
is considered an effective and progress
sive national defense element, but
simply as skeleton from which has
heer sacrificed avervttinC nf
bare necessities for existence, the ap-
proach for reductions now concerns the
Naval Reserves. Their curtailment, he
asserted, strikes at the basic founda-
ton Of the national defense in the
United States.
Declaring that the proposed curtail-
ment of the Naval Reserves will be es-
pecially felt in the Great Lakes, or
ninth district, which comprises Is

Milady's Motoring

How quickly some drivers can stop

Where cars are parked headfirst to

at the gutter under the radiators. You'll
note little puddles of water and anti

car headed down. In this position

Hats of again to the observing
woman who noticed that there was
dLt4-4RScGS icdh4LB OuL lIlE grease cup
for the water pump. She went to the
service station to see about this and
found that her garageman had failed
to use waterproof grease In the cup.
A woman sat at the wheel Of her
car while couple of service men rolled
1t back and forth in gear. She hadn't
the slightest idea what it was all about
and probably doesn't know any more
now that she has paid the bill and is
enjoying the fruits OF their efforts.
Possibly you may care to know that
they were checking the timing. This is
done through noting the position of the
piston nearest the radiator when it is
ct the top point of its travel with both
Of the respective cylinders valves
closed. From this point it is possible
to set the ignition timing with accu-
racy.

Just heard a garageman get bawled
out because when customer took the
wheel of her car the horn started to
blow. She accused him of having
done something" to the car. pointing
out that it was all right when she put
it away the night before. That's a lit
tie unfair. Things often "just happen" !"
just at the moment she took the wheel
wire In the steering column broke
off, touched the meetal, made a connec-
ton and sent the horn into action. It
might have happened anywhere, any
time. An automobile dealer tells me
this happened to a car one of his most
valued customers was using in a fu-
neral.
To rap or not to rap-that is not the
question. Rather, the problem Is what
to rap.
This may seem like long way from
the story Of woman motoriSt who
found she could not get light from her
car. She recalled having seen her hus-
band rap something around the cowl
when in similar pinch. SO she lifted
the hood and pounded away blindly.
Had she merely tapped the cover OF
the little circuit breaker under the in
strument panel the light might have
gone into action. This is the device
that cuts out the current when there
is short circuit somewhere In the
electrical system.
Sometimes 1t is possible to get start
ed by going through some of the pro-
cedure Of stopping, as In the case where
the debutante, caught in the mud, re-
membered to hold the hand brake part
ly on while engaging the clutch. The
oraking action checked the speed of
the spinning rear wheel and caused
power to be transferred to the wheel
that had traction.
This sort Of thing works both ways.

Often by proceeding as If to 60 ahead

ways beacons with new type of lamp
having double post, the department
has obtained gain of some 400, 900
candlepower at no additional cost. In
SO doing, the department also has OBJ
tanned what is believed to be a more
durable and dependable light.
The new lamp, it was explained, diff
fers. in two particulars from the con.
ventional incandescent lamp design
which has been the standard since Edi.
son made his first carbon -filament
lamps
In the usual lamp, 1t was pointed out,
the flament is mounted on a glass stem
which is afterward welded to the bulb,
which in turn is cemented or clamped
into the metal base which screws into
the socket. The current to heat the
filament Is conducted into the lamp
through leading-in wires sealed into the
stem.
This was a source Of difficulty In
large lamps, not only because glass can
not be worked with as much accuracy
as metal, but also because the leading
in wires had to be Of expensive special
construction to avoid heating which
would soften the glass around them and
to prevent expansion and contraction of
the wire which might break the seal
between wire and glass and ruin the
lamp by destroying the vacuum which
must exist inside the bulb.
The bi-post type Of lamp was designed
to overcome these difficulties and ex-
ceeded expectations not only by elirni-
mating the trouble but also by increas-
ing by one-third the power Of the light.
In the new type Of light current Is
supplied to the f1lament through two
l. ~
in a definite relation to its base without
the Intervention Of any glass parts.
The current reaches the hlament with
out passing through any metal that Is
confined within glass.
Beacon lights now in service are be-
ing adapted to the use Of the bi-post
lamp by replacing their sockets with
special sockets designed for the purpose
and which can be used on any Of the
standard lamp changers.
