eligible for promotion TO first
lieutenant; first lieutenant
must serve six months; cap
tain, six; a majoi, nine; lieu
tenant-colonel, one year. The
War Department can promote a
full colonel when it sees fit.
EXPERIENCE COUNTS
There is one other qualifica-
ton for officer promotions. Be-
fore an officer is promoted he
must occupy for three months
the position he will occupy when
he gets promoted. Assume that
a major has served the full time
when he gets promoted. AS
sumo that a major has served the
full nine months required for
promotion TO Northumberland.
Suppose, too, that the T. 0. for
his unit lists the job which he
has been doing as one carrying
the rank of major. He cannot be
promoted TO lieutenant colonel
until he has served three months
more as major in some position
for which the T. O. authorizes a
tenant-colonelcy.
In battle there are several
modification to the rules of
promotion. Most important of
these is that any man who shows
outstanding ability in battle can
be promoted to the next higher
rank, without having served
his time in grade-IF vacancy
exists.
Thus, if Captain Smith, the
company commander, is killed
in battle, and 1st Lieut.. Klein
takes his place, he can be pro-
NOTED to a captaincy even il he
has not been a first lieutenant
for six months. But even il
Lieut.. Klein shows outstanding
ability and bravery in battle. he
cannot be promoted to captain
unless and until the vacancy ex-
lists.
An enlisted man can be ap-
pointed second lieutenant in
battle-again providing that a
vacancy for a second lieutenant
exists according to the Table OF
Organization of his unit.

MANNERS .

Test your knowledge of cor

the following questions, then
checking against the authori-
tative answers below:
/. II you are planning to have
guests to dinner and you have no
help of any kind, would it be
best to serve a buffet meal if
there are more than six persons?
2. When planning a dinner for
guests should you do your mar
keting the day of the dinner or
the day before?
3. If you meal is necessarily
simple, should you try to make
your table look just as attractive
as possible?
4. II you want your children
to help in passing food, clearing
the table, etc, when there are
guests should you have them do
it when the family is alone-so
that they will be experienced?
5. Is it a good idea to have a
screen in front OF the dining
room door that leads to the
kitchen?
What would you do if
Your mother-in-law is visiting
you and you have several young
people to dinner
