Judge Advocate Posts
To Be Filled Only in
Case Of Vacancies
No New Appointments
Are Contemplated
By OfficioIs

For the present. at least, no ap-
pointments will be made in the Sd
Corps Area, of which the District
of Columbia is part, in any grade
of the Judge Advocate Generals
Department unless vacancy exists.
The War Department instructions
do not require discharge of any
Reserve officer now appointed and
the excess existing in certain corps
areas is authorized until reduced by
normal attrition. District of Colum-
bia applicants for extension courses
leading to appointment in the Judge
Advocate Generals Department Re-
serve will be advised of the suspen-
sion of appointments in that Sec
ton if suspended. Satisfactory COM
pletion of such courses, however,
constitute no guarantee of appoint
ment. The prospects of vacancies
in that section are remote.
To attain higher standards. Gen.
Malin Craig, chief of staff of the
Army. has recommended that a
greater number of Reserve officers
be sent to the General and Special
Service Schools, and he has recon-
mended that not less than 300 Re-
servistS be sent to these schools an
nually. Lack of sufficient funds in
the past has prevented the sending
of any such number to these schools.
A greater number of Reserve officers
were given active duty training dur
ing the past year, a total of 27,685
officers receiving active duty train
ing, compared with 24,285 during the
previous fiscal period. At the close
of this fiscal year there were 00,116
Reserve officers on the rolls of the

ment, active duty and promotion. an

KENT CLUB FOR

project to include all of these units
in one state association, thereby
soliciting the cooperation of egg
producers in a statewide program
for the production and a more sys-
tematic marketing of Delaware
eggs of high quality and uniform
size and shape. The purposes of
these egg clubs are to offer poul-
trymen the opportunity to market
their quality eggs under their own
labels indicating an honest effort
upon the part Of the producers to
place upon the market a product
which will receive premium
above the regular market quota
tions, also to cooperate with each
other in advertising Delaware eggs
in competition with eggs from
other sections of the United Stat
es. AS it is possible for a group
of poultrymen to grade and mar
ket their eggs comparatively in a
more efficient manner than can be
through individual
efforts, it is expected that num-
Der of commercial egg producers
in Kent county will consider or
ganizing quality egg clubs in order
to take advantage of this market
ing plan

IN MEMORIAM

In sad and loving memory of our be-
loved daughter Pauline Boggs Knight, who
passed away February 81, 1886.
There is someone who misses you sadly
And finds the time long since you went,
There is someone who thinks of you always
And tries to be brave and content.
Gone is the face we loved so dear,
Silent is the voice we loved to hear,
'Tis sad, but true, we wonder why
The best are always the first to die.
"GOD'S MESSAGE"
Come to My Heavenly Garden
And see in perfect bloom,
The flower you loved so dearly
And thought that l plucked too soon.
Then you will know My reason,
Though you know it not today.
Why in her promising womanhood
/ took your daughter away"
Sadly missed by
Mother, Daddy, and Sister

exercise to keep the nails sufficient
