They also will be placed under the

The local committee Of the United

has completed plans for the annual
convention Of that association which Is
to be held at the Washington Hotel

appointed some time ago by Lieut..

ties Of the Naval Reserve in that area
While Capt. Hesselman has been pres
ident Of the association for three
years. it was indicated that he will not
be a candidae for the position at the
coming convention.
In view Of the fact that amend
ments to the Naval Reserve act of
1925 are to be presented to the coming
Congress, it Is likely that the coming
convention of the Naval Reserve Of
ficers will be one of the most i'm
portant in its history. While the de-
partment has decided on Its recon-
mendations to Congress for changes
in the law, 1t Is known that they
have not met with the full approval
Of the Naval Reservists, and the DIFF
ferences In opinion are likely to de-
velop some keen discussion during
the convention. Ofncers from the
Navy Department who direct the
Naval Reserve affairs there are ex-
pected to address the convention to
outline the departments stand on the
proposed legislation, and 1t Is be-
lieved that they will be subjected
to considerable questioning by the
Reserve officers, several Of whom par

attempt was made to iron out the
differences Of opinion between those

check up on the progress Of the di-

Some new ratings are likely to be
made prior to the annual inspection
and men in the several divisions are

Gus duties of these respective ratings
with . view to being prepared to take
the tests when ordered before the

who are considered ripe for promotion
to the next higher grades. In addi-
tion to the increase In pay which re-
suits from such promotions the men
who are fortunate enough to obtain
them get increased responsibility, au-
thority and privileges.

completes its work of examining the
records as reported to them by the di-
vision officers, they will contact the

quirements with . view to having

Throughout his career DR.. de los
Rios has evidenced his interest in
modern modes of life. as well as in
studies of international law and polit-
ical science.
Reading is his greatest pleasure. He
minimizes the well-filled shelves in his
library here At home in Spain he
left a library Of IL 500 volumes, one of
the best in the country. But the books
here indicate his wide interests.
There are the latest books of Sin
clair Lewis and George Santayana.
Theory of the Leisure Life" by
Thorstein Veblen, one of his favorite
American writer's, is well thumbed.
There is fiction, poetry, philosophy
in French, German, Italian, English,
Spanish. He speaks all five languages.
The English might have been a
stumbling block. DR., de los Rios
learned the language 80 years ago at
school in England, but had no CON
! tinuous exercise" for it until he was
appointed Ambassador. He's using 1t
more fluently daily. His wife is making
it her special study and she is Of great
help to him, he said.
Fond of Long Walks.
When there is time the Ambassador
takes long walks in the country.
Mountains, not golf or bridge or SAIL
ing, are his hobby.
Il have been to- the mountains OF
Spain and Switzerland and Germany"
he said. II like to climb them in the
snow. When there is time should
like to visit yours here in America"
But there is little time here, he ex-
planned, for anything except the prob
lens of Spain Even music and art,
two of his greatest enjoyments, have
to be sighted.
The Ambassador looked longingly at
stacks of envelopes containing the
notes for new book.
Il was in Geneva preparing a book
on the international community when
was assigned here as Ambassador"
he said. II wonder when it will be
finished"

Huddles of colored pins on a map

slant picture of the ebb and flow OF
the bloody civil war wi 'ch is seek

represents.
Ambassador Fernando de los Rios
wrinkled his heavy brows, stroked his
trim black goatee as he studied the
map and pointed out some of the re-

The Ambassador is an author, phi

AS the Spanish republics first min

As minister of education he estab-

years. AS minister of foreign affairs
he helped secure the recognition of

Two weeks after his arrival last
October he began a series of public

Scholars and socialites sought out
the distinguished Spaniard and his

at state functions and dinners.
But the gay social whirl formerly
associated with the Spanish repre-

A course for diplomats in Ameri-

month at American University. AM
bassador de los Rios, who has taught
courses at Columbia University, New
York, the Sorbonne in Paris and King

among the first to enroll as a student.

The technique Of government and
its organization naturally has especial

He paused, reflected, then added:

right time, Faul said. Cali of the
larger birGs, 16 pounds and over,
were sold on the coast where there
is heavier demand for big turkeys.
