TWO EXAMPLES


 The big job in the army is Chief of staff. The present status of that post grew out of the early World War experience when the complete coordination of effort was essen- tial. The job of Chief of Staff does not go to the oldest General whose record shines out above others. Douglas McArthur, now Field Mar shal in the Philippines, was shin ing example of that. The selection of General Pershing to head the army in France was another. He was far from tops in seniority, and his selection left some sore spots among the many Generals senior to him.
 The navy selection system is more drastic. In the army, an officer who fails of selection to Leavenworth

ARMY ADVANCEMENT

But even in the army a selective program of a sort begins away down in the ranks The army maintains special training schools Each year selected officers of various grades go to these schools. Those selected know they are on the way upward. Those not selected feel certain their chances of becoming a General are slim.
 The field and staff school at Fort LeavenWorth Captains and Majors go there from all branches of the army. They study military tactics and strategy intensely, burn lights past midnight and come out packed with military lore.
 The next school upward is the War College That is in Washing ton. It is a sort of upper military university. It teaches the last word in military methods and military policy of a broad nature.
 There is nothing in the law which says that an officer who has not been to Leavenworth and the War College shall not become a General. But the odds are against it. When the list of Colonels comes up for appointment to the grade of Gener- al, the lifelong efficiency record of each officer is studied Naturally the record of an officer who has not been selected for LeavenWorth and for the War College does not stack up as high as the others. And the few promotions to General go to the War College graduates.

FIRST AID SAVES MAN
FROM SNAKE POISON

Prompt first aid on the part of his
wife probably saved the life of John
Taylor, farmer living in the Frank
ford, Del, section after he was bitten
on the hand by a copperhead snake
while working in his sweet potato
beds.
Taylor did not see the snake until
it had bitten him. Immediately he
got hoe and killed the reptile, went
to the house and told his Mife who
placed a turniquet about the arm.
Then they hastened to the office of
DR.. Carleton C. Fooks at Frankford.
An incision was made by the physi-
clan allowing the blood to flow from
the wound freshly. Taylor's hand and
arm were badly swollen from the bite
and the turniquet and caused much
pain. No serious results are antici-
pated.
Taylor is said to be the fourth
person bitten by copperhead with
in the past 20 years in lower Della
ware, and the second within the past
three years. None Of them proved
fatal.
