Reservisfs Reminded
Of Work Required
To Go 10 Camp
rs Hours Of Inactive
Duty Troining Ave
Necessary

District of Columbia Reserve Off
GERS and those Reservists residing
In the vicinity who contemplate ap-
plying for active duty next summer
will be required to have Is hours of
Inactive duty training to their credit
during the current fiscal year in
order to have their applications for
the 1889 camp training favorably
considered at Sd Corps Area head
quarters in Baltimore. Army regu-
lations provide for this and the
corps area authorities have no con-
troll over the matter. These Is hours
of inactive duty training may be at
tanned in a variety of ways, but the
most convenient method Is through
the Army extension courses. Credits
for active duty training may not
only be accumulated through the
extension courses, but in addition
they serve to earn credits for local
officers toward their certificates of
capacity for promotion to the next
higher grade when they have served
the prescribed time in their present
rank and are otherwise eligible. The
extension courses are now so ar
ranged that in almost every in
stance they parallel and cover the
subjects required in the promotion
examination. When an officer has
completed the required subcourses
and appears before the promotion
examining board, all he has to do is
to present his certificate and he is
exempt in the subject which 1t
covers.
Some District officers are prone
to put off the inactive duty training
with the idea that they can get in
the necessary Is hours just before
the camp schedule is to start. That
is poor practice, for in the first
place something may happen to
prevent such procedure, and, Sec
ondly, the officer who contemplates
qualifying at the last moment can
not be assured of a place on the
camp list. Those who. do so go to
camp only in case there is vacancy
in their category. There is such a
oSAldAAA aA4AOAl6 DAooI ACU 4GCSClSC Va
f1cers for active duty training that
vacancy may not be held for an
officer who may or may not qualify.
District officers inactive duty cred
its for active duty training next July
must be earned between now and
June 80, 1889, and there are no ex-
ceptions to the rule. Col. Richard
Wetherill. Infantry. senior instruc-
tor of the Organized Reserves in
Washington, urges all Washington
Reserve officers who contemplate
active camp training next summer
to complete their Army extension
courses pertaining to their respective
rank and branch of the service as
soon as possible. BY doing so they
will occupy preferred position
when the selections for the 1889
training camps are made.

Commodore David Porter, who
drove the pirates from the Keys,
made Key West 4 base for Navy
operations in 1922. The base was
abandoned after suppression Of
piracy in this area. In 1856 the
Navy built i store house here. but
nothing further was done until
the outbreak OF the Civil War.
During the Spanish-American
War naval forces in the cam
paign were based here. During
the World War Key West was
used as basn for vessels and
planes employed in anti-subma-
rine activities. In unique plant
varieties are included the Indian
mulberry and screw pine.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

In everyday life, when We speak Of
design, we have in mind some designer.
When we say pattern, We mean, broad
ly speaking, that form or shape thereof.
Mans interest in such patterns" is
manifest everywhere. From . sheet Of
paper, to . great public building, form Is
very much in evidence.
And every such pattern, II We choose to
call it 50. has q designer behind 1t some
where.
Nothing Of ours, from the simplest to
the most complex form, comes into
being Of itself.
That snow crystals have been form
Ing themselves over millions of years
into certain ll-defined patterns, some
Of them which are seemingly so "hu-
man." as we say, that they startle us,
is dificult to understand as mere chance,
or "happenstance." as some call it.
If 1t is dimcult for some minds to be-
lieve them the work Of design, and hence
OF Designer, 1t Is even more dificult to
think Of them as occurring forever with
out One.
Yet these magic forms dissolve in 4
few minutes.
They become childrens playthings, and
In the end are soled by the modern
mud OF automobile grease.
They go back into their other form
as water, two molecules Of hydrogen
and one Of oxygen locked together.
II they are snatched to the skies
again. and in good time fall upon us as
snow, they will go back into their crystal
| pattern again sometime and somewhere.
The pattern of things to come is but
the pattern of things which have been,
and there is no new thing under the
sun, as the preacher said.
II we try to understand such things
with such minds as we have, given to us
| also as patterns, we are brought back
| each time to the old round of creation.
| We draw back, because we cannot under
| stand; 1t may be that we do not under
stand because we draw back.
~ ~
The beauty OF snowflake design we
can appreciate. at least.
When we sit at the telephone and
scrawl with pencil on sheet of paper,
we are making designs and patterns of
| sort, call them what one willard
they have been called some mighty
| curious names.
Perhaps the majority OF such designs,
| If We can so dignity them are combina-
| tions of straight lines In some regular
| order
favorite with the writer here is
| four straight lines, making q square
which Is not joined at the corners, then
these empty spaces filled in with small
| circles, then four more small circles
| placed in the center of each straight
| line, then small half circles joining these
smaller circles. then straight lines run
from the center of each larger circle to
the first four lines
Construction of this design is easily
explained as habit once it had been
started-but why was it ever started?
Why do some persons. in similar situa-
tions, draw heads. or ships under full
sail, or very intricate geometrical de-
signs?
Design, in nature. whether as intent, or
pattern, is mystery. Let us enjoy and
appreciate it in the snowfiakes when
atmospheric conditions make them plain
" visible in quantities

The recent snowfall gave as pretty
an exhibition Of crystals as has been
witnessed in recent years.
ONCE workers with broad outer win
dow ledges had grandstand seats.
Before their very eyes Nature created
many Of her most interesting and artis-
tic patterns.
Almost every one has read about snow
crystals. their infinite variety, their
forms, patterns and the like, but not
many persons, comparatively speaking,
have paid much attention to them.
Few storms exhibit them to such per-
fection
The cold must be just fright" and the
kind OF flakes must be right, too, to per-
nit the individual crystals to stand
forth.
Many snowfalls do not permit single
design to outline itself clearly.
But this one the other afternoon
set down each crystal carefully on
wooden ledges or stone.
Uncle Sans mail boxes, too, showed
some mighty pretty specimens.
Those who went to mail letters
stopped to admire, II they had enough
sense and interest.
The star, especially the famous six
pointed form, Is one of Natures favorite
patterns.
There were millions of these, some of
them perfect. others not so clearly de-
fined: some of them were merely rods,
joined together, others OF the exact
shape and form of those stars in our flag.
The leaf pattern was another promi-
nent one on the sill.
The crystals came in circles, fish and
crab designs. with many another of
strict geometrical pattern.
The onlooker recalled that a long
study had been made OF snow crystals
by New Englander, who spent years
of his life photographing them.
The crystals were caught on black
velvet. and photographed Immediately,
| for they did not last long on such ma
| terial
They do not last long anywhere
The photographs have been published
IN book for the Use OF designers, but
would make an intensely interesting
| study for any one interested in design
and pattern.
Design. as intent. and as pattern, are

mind will insist on thinking OF them
as one.
Surely in all nature there is nothing
more likely TO call such a mind to God
than these infinite patterns of the snow
nakes, falling on high. SO fragile, so
transitory, yet showing forth in the very
moment of their dissolution into the
water from which they came the wonder
full design and pattern which has never
been changed since infinity gave itself a
name and place in the universe.
That these patterns lust happen" is
hard to believe
Il So why do they happen?
There is but one intelligent answer.
Design and pattern are far from
synonomous, OF course, but may be used
as roughly so.
We have pattern as example, idea,
ideal, model. precedent
We have design as aim, end, idea,
model, reason sketch
