Gently informed commandants Of

desired TO make a change at present
in the physical standards in this

which have been prepared particularly
for those members of the volunteers

Pre-ScHOOI Work
For Deaf Children
Sought by League
Tennessee Unit Would
Hare Oral Speech
Taught in Homes.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 10 (P.-
Deaf children in Tennessee would be
taught oral speech and lip reading
in their own homes at State expense
until they reach school age, under
legislation sought by the Nashville
League for the Hard of Hearing.
The plan, as outlined by the league
in announcing a campaign to have
the next Legislature adopt it, would
work something like this:
Each school district in the State
would employ at least one teacher
qualified to instruct the deaf. Each
deaf child in the district would be
reported by the registrar of vital
statistics.
Thereupon 1t would be the duty
of the teacher to arrange instruction
to begin in the home before the
child is more than 2 years old. It
would cost the parents nothing.
In the meantime the parents would
be taught to help in training the
child to speak. That would be Just as
important as the teachers actual in
struction to the child. Experience
has taught that deaf persons learn
to speak more quickly if there is op-
portunity to converse constantly with
persons trained to obviate difficulty in
reading their lips.
The league says children without
hearing learn to talk readily if in
struction is given before or about the
time they are 2 years old. After that
age the beginner finds speech more
difficult.
DR.. Douglas MacFarlan of Phila-
delphia. authority on teaching the
deaf, stated that in his opinion the
plan is "the best suggestion yet made
by any one.'

Former Reserve Commander

Owing to the fact that Lieut., M. M
Cloukey, commander of the local Re-
serve aviation division, is soon to be
ordered to the United STATES Naval
Air Station at Pensacola. Fla. a
change in the command of the local
division has been ordered, it was
announced at the Reserve neadquar-
tiers here last week.
Lieut.. (Junior Grade) Lloyd " Berk-
ner has been ordered to indefinite
active duty with the Reserve Air
Squadron at the Naval Air Station at

assume command of the division. 1t

Fleet Division.
Laurence E. Elmer, first class, and
Martin J. Meenehan. seaman, first
class, have been ordered transferred
from the Volunteer to the Fleet Re-
serve and assigned to the aviation
division.
Bernard M. Steenkuller has been
enlisted as an apprentice seaman and
assigned to the I'd Fleet Division.
Local officers and men Of the ship
divisions are awaiting word from the
Navy Department as to where the
ships which will take them on their
annual training cruises will go this
year. The department has as yet
given no indication as to where the
local men will 60, but it was said
70 be probable that the two destroyers,
which will take them, will 60 to New
England waters, with probably liberty
at New York City, Boston or New
port, r. I.
The cruises will be held beginning
August 25, and the drilling now being
given at the armory has been out
lined to make preparations for these
Evening star., 1934-05-20

cruises. The gun crews are being
trained constantly with the drill gun
in the armory, and the general ship
drills are being carried out with a
view to having the men learn their
stations thoroughly before they en-
bark on the ships which will be sent
here to pick them up.
Special attention is being given to
the men whose duties will keep them
employed on the bridge, particularly
the signalman. This branch of the
Navy is most important when the
ships are travelling in formation, rs
most of the maneuvers are made with
flag hoists. The signalmen have a big
task before them between now and
the cruise period, it was pointed out,
because many Of the signal flags have
been changed, and the men will have
to learn these.
The opinion was expressed to Con-
gress by officers of the Aviation Di-
vision of the Navy that flying train
ing for Reserve aviation men should
not be reduced below 48 hours. 1t
was held that this is little enough
for an aviator to maintain his eff
cheney. 1t was pointed out that a
year ago the Reservists had As hours

the change was ordered at this time
to give the new officer an opportunity
to familiarize himself with the sta
ton and equipment. Until he leaves
for Pensacola Lieut.. Cloukey will re-
main on active duty at Anacostia in
connection with training of the local
air squadron.
Dhen Lieut. Cloukey goes to
Florida, 1t was said, it will provide a
vacancy here for another Reserve
air officer to be ordered to indefinite
active duty with the squadron
Three officers and one enlisted man
have been ordered on active duty for
a period of IA days training at the
Naval Air Station at Anacostia. They
are Ensign Robert E. Hess, jr.; Lieut..

with Mrs. Leon Fry, Of Lees

very interesting STORY:
Nala, to whom this yearly
cup is a memorial, was the un-
defeated single harness horse
owned by Judge James K.
Moore, of Chicago, who sold
him, after winning with him for
years, to Mr.. Hartman, Of New

When Judge Moore owned
and was showing Nala, Mrs.

rider and drove many good
horses in the ring-often driv-
ing Nala for Judge Moore.
Friday we were looking on,
while Miss King was winning
the Nala Memorial Cup, Mrs.
Fry happened to be wearing a
lovely pin of three gold horses
in a row, that Judge Moore
had given her after she drove
Nala for him in a Washington
Horse Show some years ago,
winning the blue, of course,
as Nala was never defeated.
