THE NAVY'S NEW ENSIGNS

1t is interesting to report that the
Navy has just commissioned 264 new en-
signs. the first non-Annapolis men to re-
eeive such commissions since the World
War
1t seems that the Navy is using the
old battleship Illinois as training school
for young college men. The men recently
commissioned comprised the first gradual
ing class after completing four-months
intensive course They were advised, at
their commencement, that no distinction
would be made between them and An
napoiis men who spend four years studying
for a similar commission.
Rear Admiral Chester ". Nimitz,
chief of the Bureau of Navigation, told
the young officers, ''You are joining fast
moving, hard-hitting team" and added,
"You will make the grade upon your eff
fo.s and not because you cone from any
certain school,"

This column has stated several times
that the preparedness for total defense
will be good for the young men who are
being conscripted-mentally. physically
and spiritually-and since the number of
conscripts is so large. it will be beneficial
to-the whole country. At recent meet
ing of the College of Physicians of Phila-

Big" evenings are something
to look forward TO. It's fun to
make yourself as glamorous as
possible in a formal gown cut to
here, fun to go out with an eS-
eort who looks his handsomest in
white tie and tails.
But when II comes to remem-
bering, don't you find that GER
tain little" evenings rank right
up with the best of them? The
evening you met a man you
really liked, or that time some
people dropped in and you had
an impromptu party that was
more fun than if you'd tried to
plan it that way?
For these not-so-forrnal times
it's extremely important to look

When you are planning your
holiday wardrobe. you'll want to
think lot about little" dresses,
for even through the holidays
there are more little than big oc-
casions.
If you're clever about il, you
can surround yourself with as
much glamour in dress-up day
time dress as in the most formal
OF evening gowns.

Vice-President-elect Wallace has been
designated as official envoy by the Presi-
dent to attend the Inauguration of General
3-anuel Ayila Camacho as president of
ALex.co. The move is made to strengthen
the political solidarity in the Western
Hemisphere but may turn out to result in
the reverse at least insofar as Mexico is
concerned. General Juan Andreu, rival
OF tCamaeho, has large and potent fol-
wing, and claims that he, instead of
Camache, won the recent Mexican cleo
ton. In naming Mr.. Wallace to represent
the United States at Camaehe's Inaugural
ton, it means that so far as this Govern
ment is concerned, Almazan's fight has
been futile and the controversy is ended.
By implication, the followers of Almazan
will interpret this act as unwarranted in
reference in the affairs of Mexico, and
trouble may result This writer believes a
more propitious time should have been
chosen to demonstrate the good neighbor
policy toward our sister republic in the i'm

Chairman Overton of the Special

today he would have q report on the

At the same time Senator Over

about 10 days ago that he would
recommend reviSions to fix a mini
mum age limit on voluntary retire.
ments at SIS years after Is years
service and that the appropriations
for pension of those who retire
voluntarily be limited to $4,000 a
year
Senator Overton pointed out that
under the bill as passed by the
House without any age limitation
police and firemen could apply for
retirement at 46 years of age since
men 81 years of age are eligible for
appointment in either department.
Il know of no reason why police
and f1remen should be retired at
46 years of age if they are mentally
and physically fit to continue their
services" he declared. Under exist
ing law members of either depart
ment incapacitated in the line of
duty are retired regardless of their

Lost Nerve, Private Tells
Court After Monoxide
Gas Killed Companion

George F. Williams, 39-year -old
Fort Meade Army private, was held
for the Anne Arundel County grand
jury without bail by Magistrate John
Demyan, jr., at Ferndale, Md, to-
day after q hearing in the suicide
pact death of Mrs Ella Carroll, 36-
year-old Washington mother Of
three children. g
Williams testified in Ferndale Po-
lice Court he lost his nerve" in
carrying out the pact. He was
charged with homicide.
Although Army officers said Will
liams was transferred to Fort Meade
only two months ago from Panama,
the soldier testified he and Mrs.
Carroll had known each other for
13 years.
The body of Mrs. Carroll. who
lived at 1418 Foxhall road NV, was
found in an automobile parked on
the Fort Meade Laurel road about
2 miles from the military reserva-
ton.
Inside the car near the body Of
Mrs. Carroll, whom, police say, had
been separated from her husband,
was rubber hose extending
through a window to the exhaust.
Died of Monoxide Poisoning.
DR.. Howard j. Maldeis, medical
examiner for Anne Arundel County,
performed an autopsy and said Mrs.
Carroll died of carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Williams walked to Fort Meade,
where he is attached to the Quar-
termaster Corps, about $3.50 am. yes
terday, and reported the tragedy to
military authorities.
Anne Arundel County police were
called and began an investigation
| under the direction of Chief John H.
Souers.
Chief Souers said Williams told
him he and Mrs. Carroll had been
! on a picnic given by soldiers at Fort
Meade Saturday afternoon and that
in the evening they went to a tavern
near the camp and drank until 1918
pm, when they left in the soldiers
automobile.
The police official quoted the SOL
dier as stating that they parked on
side road a short distance from
the Fort Meade-Laurel pike to carry
out their suicide pact.
The soldier said he lost conscious
ness short time after attaching
the hose to the exhaust and starting
the motor, but that about 2:30 am.
he regained consciousness and found
Mrs. Carroll dead.
Note Found In Purse.
Chief Souers declared Williams
told him that he and Mrs. Carroll
had agreed to die together, but that
when he regained consciousness he
changed his mind.
Police declined to make public
the contents of a note found in
the woman's purse. It was written
in ink on the inside of the picnic
program.
States Attorney Marvin I. An
derson. however, said it indicated
the woman contemplated death and
that it was written as though she
meant it to be read ny Williams.
The homicide warrant was OBJ
tanned by Mr.. Anderson.
Mrs. CAROLS husband is Fred
erick Carroll, employed in q fish
market In Washington.

Favors Extending
Aid 10 Allies
Compulsory Troinine
For Youths Also
Is Advocated

Against a spirited minority op-
position, the District Federation of
Women's Clubs today went on record
as favoring extension of all the aid
to the Allies that it is possible to
give, without impairing our own
national defense and short of send
ing an expeditionary force"
Well over the two-thirds vote
necessary for action was recorded
at the federation's monthly meeting
at the Hotel 2400.
The action was one of a series of
recommendations presented by tine
Legislation Committee, headed by
Mrs. Ernest William Howard. Other
recommendations adopted included
approval of compulsory military and
vocational training for young men
and women, opposition to the ad-
journment of Congress at this time
and approval of the Presidents
plans for a cartel to control exports
of staple products of the 81 Ameri-
can nations.
Other action was taken to request
the members of Congress to follow
a non-partisan policy in regard to
all matters relating to our national
defense.
Earlier, the federation unani-
mously approved a resolution ex-
pressing a belief in and demand
for a policy of adequate national
defense and requesting that such
defense be hastened in all possible
ways. The resolution further ex-
pressed the desire of the District
Federation members to add their
assistance in all practical and nee
essary work and that every woman
prepare herself as rapidly as pos
sible for this end.
1t also called for the suppression
of subversive propaganda and AL
possible efforts" toward control OF
fifth column" activities.
This resolution, which had been
drafted by Mrs. Virginia White
Speel, National Republican Com
mitteewoman from the District was
ordered sent to the Republican and
