has come in for some quiet but
juicy allotments.
From Congress the militiamen
this year received 10 per cent
boost over last year in appropria-
lions, 80 per cent higher than the
year before. Also $883,0OO was
made available from work-relief
funds for improvements in Ma
tlonal Guard training camps.
This still is not the real story.
During the current year more
than 125 armories are being. con-
structed, chiefly with WPA funds.
The total cost oil these buildings
runs well over $5,0OO00O.
Though this construction work
is major feature of the WPA's
activities, there has not been a
single publicity release on the
subject. Even in the state lists
where the various projects are
1temlzed in detail-the word
"armory" is not to be found. They
are listed merely as Federal
buildings"
Most of the armories now under
construction are located in South
ern states. Oklahoma tops the
list with 81 out of the total of 125.
An explanation for this may be
that WPA director of Oklahoma
is Gen. w. S. Key, National
Guard officer.
Another WPA secret about these
armories is the fact that in most
instances their cost far exceeds
the $4,000 limit fixed by the
President as the maximum to be
spent on individual WPA projects.
THIS years secret armory
i building program is only
starter. In collaboration with state
officials and National Guard ex-
ecutives, the WPA has worked out
a program for the construction of
300 additional armories at a cost
of $6O,OOO,OO0.
Erection of these buildings will
begin in the new fiscal year, start
ing July l. AS in the case of prac-
tically all those now under con-
struction, most of the armories in
the new program also will surpass
the $4,000 cost limit.
The strength of the National
Guard is now at. its highest peak
since it was organized, just after
the World War.

were needed to fill the tank. We
learned what to do when the
gasoline stove burned yellow,
Smudging pots and pans.
We found that four or five fat
pine cones burned in the heating
stove would warm us on chilly
mornings. We bought fresh oys-

Food costs became a problem.
Prices were lower, but we ate

budget appropriation that had to
be readjusted. We had forgot
ten how appetites are edged by
sun and exercise and clean air.
But so far we had seen few
trailers. We wanted to inspect
other models, exhibit ours. We
wanted to talk to trailer vet
Grams, ask them about the best
camps and roads in the West.
We wanted to see how they lived,
why they chose this life.
So in week we were on our
way across the new Gulf Highway

Trailers began to appear in

Washington Merry-Go-Round

NX7ASHINGTON, May 8.-Ad-
w miral Joseph Reeves, COM
mander-in-chief of the United
States Fleet, has had a bad at
tack of the spy filters. Apparent
ly he sees spies behind every
stanchion in the fleet.
The other day, at least, he is
sued one of the most unusual
orders in American naval history.
He decreed that no officer or en-
listed man in the United States
fleet could keep a camera of any
kind aboard ship.
This is unprecedented. In I'M
usual instances in the past, or
derS have been issued to deposit
cameras with the executive officer.
But never has the commander of
the fleet shown such distruSt in
his own officers.
AS result, several small boat
loads of Photographic material
were taken off the ships just after
the order was issued. Officers
desiring to take pictures ashore
will now have to buy cameras and
films while in port, and leave the
cameras there. They can not be
taken aboard ship.
MADAME VARGAS, charming
1v1 wife of the President of
Brazil, was being entertained at
lunch by Mrs. Roosevelt. Among
the other guests was Mrs. Sol
Bloom, wife of New York's ebul-
lient, theatrical congressman.
Madame Vargas speaks excel
lent French but no English. Mrs.
Roosevelt also speaks French;
Mrs. Bloom does not.
Despite this, Mrs: Bloom sat
down at the place of honor be-
side Madame Vargas after the
luncheon was over, and endeav-
ored to engage in conversation.
English and French did not mix.
Mrs. Bloom sat silent for mo-
ment while Mrs. Roosevelt COW
cred up the embarrassment.
Then in loud voice Mrs.
Bloom said:

BY GEORGE H. DENNY
WHEN we Obeyed that
i'm pulse, bought a
house trailer and an
nounced that we would
live in it for six months or
a year a few friends and
relatives began to take us
aside and explain that they
weren't worried about us,
but how about the chill
dren?
1t wasn't fair, they indi-
Gated, to subject a boy of a
and a girl Of 18 months to
traffic dangers, cramped
and bouncing quarters,
doubtful food and polluted
water just to satisfy an
irresponsible urge to fish
and loaf and breathe
strange dust.
We appreciate their intentions.
They may be right. Two months
is too soon to tell. But the chill
dren have gained weight, tan and
teeth and eat and sleep like little
animals.
The worst tragedy traceable to
trailer life happened yesterday.
My son picked up a small crab.
There was a lot of hollering but
no real damage.
Possibly the best way to pic
ture this breezy, rolling life is to
give a brief account of our ex-
periences.
We left Indianapolis in mid
winter. Streets were shiny with
ice. We snailed along, mostly in
second, until traffic thinned at
the south edge of the city. The
country was snow-covered but the
paved road was dry. I cautiously
accelerated to about 80 miles an
hour.
II
TIME first hour with trailer is
l. something to try and forget.
You are distressingly conscious of
the bulk behind. Bridges contract
to narrow, shaky strips. Trucks
swell to zeppelin size. The road
is peopled with monsters rushing
at you from every angle.
In an hour you pinch yourself,
get a normal reaction, take a deep
breath and slide down an inch in
the seat. In a few minutes you
glance at the speedometer and
find you are touching 40. Alarmed,
you throttle down to 80. In a
minute or two you are back at 40.
That, incidentally, is fast enough
for us on clear road. We have
touched SIS but what's the hurry?
Then you begin to relax and see
the sights. You feel a little thrill
at your daring and independence.
Your house is rolling smoothly,
the larder is full, there is fuel for
the heating stove and the gasoline
range. You are a trailer fan.
South of Louisville, big sissies
that we were, we rented heated
tourist cabins for the night and
ate in restaurant. Our excuse
was the cold and the children.
The next night the nurse and
children slept in a cabin and we
sampled the trailer beds. They
were fine. From then on we al
slept under our portable roof.
On the third evening Mrs. D.
cooked the first meal on the gas
oline stove. 1t worked. The food
was swell. Since then we have
scorned restaurants except for a
noon snack while travelling.
DY then we were in northern
- Alabama and 7 was driving
in shirtsleeves. MY left elbow was
Sunburned. We remembered our
plans. We began to take it easy;
watch for strange beasts and birds
and businesses. When something
puzzled us we stopped and asked.
We explored a turpentine still,
talked politics at cross roads, dis
covered pecan and tung trees. Our
first camp was at Fairhope, Ala,
a quiet single-tax colony on
Mobile Bay.
A sign on the beach asked us to
obtain permission to camp. We
