considered by oficers at the department
as exceedingly high, but there was
nothing against which they could be
checked, The examinations by the In
spection Board will furnish such
means for checking. and II a wide dis
parity Is found between the reports sub
mitted by the Reserve Boards and those
Of the Inspection Board, there Is prob
ability that more stringent regulations
will be made on the subject
The department announced that 1t Is
appreciated that conditions under which
the Inspection Board examinations 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 a nature that If the
subjects were known, they could be
answered quickly and in few words.
1t was added that II the men have
studied the Bureau of Navigation train
ing course for their rating they should
be able to satisfactorily pass the inspec-
tion boards short examination. The
Bureau of Navigation, 1t was added, ex-
poets in the future that examining
boards will examine the men thoroughly
and assign marks In accordance with
the way questions are answered, and
that more attention will be paid to this
important factor Of examinations for
advancement Of enlisted men, and that
they not be rated until such time as
they are actually qualified.
Commanding officers Of units have
been directed to bring these matters
forcefully TO the attention Of the exam
lining boards.
The local Reservists already have
started plans for their annual inspec-
ton, the date for which, however. has
not yet been announced The petty
ofncers particularly have been instruct
ed to study their correspondence courses,
50 that each Of them will be able to
make a good showing If questioned by
the inspectors This is necessary, be-
cause the board said that in view OF the
fact that there Is not time enough to
question each man, certain ones will be
picked at random, and on the manner
in which they answer the questions the
petty officers Of the various groups Will
be marked.

should be assigned which could be used
and which would not be subject to re-
call in an ordinary emergency. In re.
cent years the destroyer has been used
largely as the training ship, beca Use Of
the fact that each Reserve division Is
a nucleus Of a destroyer crew In the
event that o national emergency arises
necessitating the calling OF the Reserve
into active service for duty with the
Fleet.
Target practice also may come up
again for discussion. This Is an i'm
portant feature of the work during the
annual cruises. ! However. the Reserv.
lists for a long time have contended
that the plans outlined for them do
not provide conditions which give true
can do Under the present conditions
they use small target set out by the
firing ship, and anywhere within Ger
tain distance is considered hit.
In the regular establishment, 1t was
said, the ships of the fleet have large
targets towed for them by tugs, and 1t
is necessary to hit the screen TO get
credit. 1t has been pointed out that
the use OF these targets for the Resery-
lists would do much to improve their
gunnery, by instilling in them more OF
the competitive spirit 1t also is con-
tended that they would appreciate their
work more, If the targets are later
brought about the vessel and the results
of their firing is made visible. as is done
on the regular ships. The principal OBJ
lection to putting the Regular Navy
plan in effect. it has been said, Is the
expense of sending out the large targets.
The Navy Department is considering
a suggestion that suitable medal be
provided to be awarded to ofncers and
men who have served In the Naval Re
serve. It was pointed out that there are
thousands of men who have served in
this branch of the service, both during
and subsequent to the war, but they
have no evidence to show, other than
discharge papers.
In connection with the proposal OF
the Inspection Board to examine GER
tain petty officers during the eoyrse - OF
Units. IL was said that, In most cases
the questions TO be asked are ordinary
ones which any man going up for the
respective ratings should be able to
answer. However, 1t was said that IN
the past the percentage Of those who
have been able to pass has been very
few.
The matter Of having the Inspection
Board conduct these examinations. It
was said, is for the purpose of check
ing against the marks contained on re-
ports Of examinations OF various men.

Ok HONOR FOR DANES

The Danes lead all the world in the
DIX hobby, which has all but disap-
peared in the United States because
listeners seem generally satisfied with
local or nearby station reception Wire
less World of London reports that 1t Is
estimated nine-tenths of Danish listen
ers are "ether-searchers." This Is not
attributed to apathy toward Denmark S
own radio programs, but to the 1act
that the Danes are the most radio
conscious" of all people in Europe.
For some years Denmark has had
more radios per capita than any other
country in Europe, even leading the
United States. Moreover. the little
kingdom is very StrategiCally situated
SO that it's people can pick and choose
the best offerings from most Of the
more powerful stations on the con-
tinent.
