Girl Defends

Dear Miss Fairfax:
my first girl friend has a bad
reputation, in spite Of which / am
fond Of her and think I can help
her to do better. / believe this Is
NO time for me, her closest girl
friend, to drop her, although my
mother has forbidden me to bring
her to our home.
"When go with this girl I have
to lie about it, and when arrive
home I'm scOlded. It's the same
when by mother learns 1 have
been with my boy friend, because
he didn't finish high school, al
though he has job.
II want to leave home and go
to work, so that I can entertain
these friends and others of whom
my mother disapprOves. My mother
claims she will send the law after
me, because in our State I'm sup
posed to be of school age. Can she
do this? H."
1 sincerely hope, my dear H.,
that you are not going to bring
your defense of these friendg to a
showdown with your mother. And
while I admire your loyalty, it is
certainly the part Of worldly wis
dom not to put it to the test you
are considering.
You are willing to break with
your family to help a girl who evil
IDENTIFY doesn't care about helping
herself. You're still in school,
which is the best place for a girl
Of your age to be. A false step
now may spoil your entire career.
Please don't take the bit in your
teeth and bolt away from home
looking for a job.

HOUSE GROUP CUTS
FUNDS FOR RESERVES
Committee Reduces Amounts
for Naval Units
S61O,O91.

Some of the projects recommended
for Naval Reserve by the Navy Depart
ment and the Bureau of the Budget,
which were disapproved by Congress
last year, also failed to make the bill
as reported to the House of Repre-
Sentatives this year. The result was
estimates Of the department and the
budget were cut approximately
S600,000
The current appropriation on ac-
count of the Naval Reserve is S7,868,-
469. The budget proposed $4,000, 900
for next year, which is an increase of
81 2,0ll,53l, according to the House
committees figures, but sl,157.648 of
that amount is responsive to the avia-
tion cadet program, leaving s853,883
as the increase for other branches of
the Reserve. OF the latter amount the
committee recommended the approval
Of S243, 1872, leaving total of S6l0,O9l
on account Of projects either wholly
or partly not recommended 1t was
reported to the House practically all of
the projects which either wholly or
partly are adversely recommended by
the committee we're in the wholly dis
approved category last year and the
committees position with respect to
them was sustained by both the House
and the Senate
The committee said that, wisely. or
not, it had acceded to the repeated
urging to open the door to training
merchant marine Reserve personnel.
Congress has made no provision for
training members of this branch of
the Reserve since the enactment of the
Naval Reserve law in 1925 Last year
the budget included s226.798 for such
purpose, which was refused This year
the estimate was Sl03, 200 for giving
two weeks training TO 400 officers and
500 men. The committee allowed
s2ll32, which has been computed to
be adequate to give two weeks train
ing to 100 officers. This. the commit
tee reported. will give an insight into
the practically of the plan and afford
more than conjectural basis for de-
termlnlng the propriety of giving the
matter continued and perhaps more
extensive support. The Navy's pro-
gram looks to an ultimate outlay upon
the training of this branch of the Re-
serve of s3,285,262.
For the present fiscal year, provision
was made for training duty for 122
officers and $50 men of the seagoine
branch of the volunteer Reserve. The
bill, as reported to the House for next
year, makes provision for increasing
the number of officers to 300 and the
enlisted men to 500 The budget pro.
posed training for TOO officers anc
1000 men.

RESERVES SEARCH
FOR VESSEL DIMS
Coast Guard Not Expected to
Transfer More Patrol
BOats.

In the course of their search for a
suitable vessel to be assigned here for
training purposes officers of the local
Naval Reserve hay? been informed
there is little possibility of any more
Coast Guard patrol boats being turned
over to the Navy for this purpose. The
Coast Guard has about 125 of these
vessels out Of commission, and it is
said all of them are in need of new
motors or motor repairs and funds
: available for this purpose. 1t was
said the Coast Guard needs these YES
sells in its service and proposes to re-
tain them until funds can be obtained
to put them in condition.
Several months ago the Coast Guard
turned over TO the Navy several of
these vessels for Reserve purposes, but
it was indicated the Navy was in turn
to allocate them to various Reserve
units. The aiming of the local Re-
servists is handicapped to some extent
because of the lack of a suitable
training vessel, which, together with
the very unsatisfactory armory for
mental effect on the morale of the
unit.
With the approach Of the open
weather on the Potomac, the local Re
Servlsts face another year of cruising
on small launch which is not large
enough to give the men the broad
training which they would receive If
larger vessel were to be sSigned here.
Officers point out one of the 100
foot long type of patrol boats would be
ideally suited for the purposes of the
local battalion. They say vessel of
this size could be fully manned each
week end by the men to perfect them
selves in their naval work. Not only
would they be willing to give their
time for two days, but they would be
willing to furnish the funds for their
subsistence during this period.
If the officers finally find out it is
useless to eek one of the Coas Guard
vessels, they will turn their attention
to vessels available in the naval out-of-
commission feet. This would mean a
destroyer. While they would prefer a
smaller type vessel, it was said they
would be willing to take destroyer
here, with the full assurance that
there would be enough officers and
men to volunteer each week end to
take cruise down the river for
training purposes.
