~ spection board was presented
a to the inspectors last Monday
night when the 1st Battalion, United
States Naval Reserves Of the District
OF Columbia, went through their an
nual tests to determine their en-
cheney.
A half hour before the scheduled
arrival Of the inspectors the battalion
WAS formed on the drill floor, where
the battalion and division oficers
gave . last-minute check-up on the
uniforms and equipment and issued
last-minute instructions in connec-
ton with the coming tests, on which
they receive their annual proficiency
marks.
Following the reception Of the board
the battalion commander, Lieut..
James E. Sullivan, formally presented
the unit for the tests After formal
examination Of the personnel to de-
termine that they were properly uni
formed, and the reports of the num-
Der Of men present, the various di-
visions were put through the manual
OF arms and infantry drill, one division
at time
Then followed the general emer-
gency drills, such as collision, abandon
ship, fire, where the men were closely
examined at their stations TO deter
mine whether they were we'll in
structed in their duties, and that they
had provided the materials which the
station bill called for. Most impor-
tant OF all drills was battalion prob
lem, during which the men were re-
quired to go through all of the sta
tions OF fighting destroyer, the unit
for which each OF the three divisions
OF the organization is trained to serve
aboard.
Individual inspections OF activities
OF the battalion were examined, such
as classroom instruction, installation
OF equipment and ability to simulate
shipboard conditions in the armory
work. Later certain enlisted men
were selected at random from the di-
visions and given a series Of questions
which they were required to answer
in writing
While the inspectors did not divulge
their opinions on the results OF the
training year nor indicate their marks,
either for the divisions or individuals
officers expressed the belief that each
OF the three divisions will be found
closer to the top among the other
Naval Reserve units OF the country
than at any time in the post war his

RAIL EQUIPMENT
IS FACING TEST
100000 Weekly Carload
ings Are Anticipated Du-
ring Movement of Crops.
By the Associated Press.

BY lne hSSOc!a te0 Press.
NEW YORK. July l4-Adequa of
railroad equipment for handling Fail
traffic will be subjected to It's severest
test in the movement OF the crops,
rail circles pointed out today.
Spokesman for the Association Of
American Railroads expressed belief
there would be no acute" freight car
shortage, despite anticipate loadings
in excess of 100000 ears weekly dur
Ing the peak season.
But calculations OF a largely in
creased haul Of Spring wheat. based
on current yield prospects, suggest a
new recovery mark in loadings to a
level within about 100000 cars OF the
aA-tlme records figures Of 1929.
Determining Factors.
A theory advanced in some quarters
the roads may find themselves in the
highly unusual position of having
more business than they can handle
rests upon the following factors:
~ The steady decline in the last
decade of freight equipment owned
due 10 scrapping of WORKOUT units.
~ Meagerness Of replacement buying
which made the last 10 years one of
the most inactive deca des in equip
ment buying IN railroad history.
Roughly, half a million freight cars
have been dIsmantled for the Junk
pile since the railroads enjoyed the
flush business Of 1929 In the last
year and half carriers have sought
70 build up equipment reserves through
new purchases. During the worst de-
preston years and even through the
recovery period rolling stock was am
pie for business offered, but lately
some rail men have admitted. there
nave been some symptoms of a pinch
in putting certain types Of equip
ment promptly at the disposal Of
shippers.
For example 1t was reported within
the last Gay or two that the move
ment OF the watermelon crop had
been interrupted by a shortage of
Vantilator cars.

! $500 Club Makes Plans
! To Boost Local Markets
Jenk;ns Stavs as President $4,000 Will Be Sought for
Advertising Tobacco and Cotton Markets Here;
!. Nearly Half Raised Mcfarland Speaks

of the market for the coming season.
w. A. Hunt was also one of the speak,
ers.
Mr.. Mcfarland said more types o.
tobacco are marketed on Henderson
warehouse floors than on any other
leaf market in the wOriu, and it was
necessary to have good buyers to
handle such a variety of leaf. 1t was
also essential that WarehouSemen
have a complete knowledge of these
types and qualities. Henderson's mar
ket has both, he said. He also said
he had examined into the records for
various markets over a period of five
years, and that during that time the
Henderson market had an average OF
S25O5 per hundred pounds, highest in
the Middle Belt.
"We have got to get out and hustle
and get the tobacco, however he
said And the effort must include
not only the buyers and the ware
housemen but the merchants and
business men as WE'LL Payment of
S5.OOOOO0 on the Henderson market
last season was help to every type
of business in the community, and ap-
proximately $50 persons were employ
ed in the various branches of the to-
bacco industry in the city, with a
weekly payroll of around $4,000 for
the season. And all of that was spent
in Henderson. The local newspaper
must be used freely and there must
be the added factor of personal con-
tact. You get the growers here and
we will see to it that they get the
kind of treatment that will make hem
come back
Mr.. Hunt said it was certain that
the farmers must be "sold" on the
Henderson market to bring their to-
bacco and cotton here for sale. Bank
ing facilities are ample. He said he
did not believe the crop this year
would be as much above last years
poundage as some have feared, and
predicted a good crop of tobacco, COT
ton and corn, and that business in
general would be good in Henderson
this season.
r. G. S. Davis spoke for the mer-
chants and said that class of the bus
mess community would cooperate to
the fullest measure possible.
The dinner, which was served at
the Capitol restaurant, was paid for
out of the clubs treasury. The 49,
in the clubs name represents a goal
of 100000 pounds of tobacco, and
the "2O" represents 10000 bales OF
cotton to be marketed here during
the season.
